Yuuki lied there for a minute, listening for any other odd sounds. There were none. She settled back down on her comforter and sighed, staring up at the ceiling, where the calm glow from the rays of sunlight beating down on the ground outside reflected back. Yuuki then sat up after a few more long minutes, deciding to study a bit. She grabbed her math textbook and rifled through the pages until she found a topic that she struggled with.
She sat hunched over the textbook for quite a long time, only stopping to eat lunch with the Headmaster and Zero. She had returned to her dorm room after lunch, and the studying session resumed from there. She finally sighed and put the book down on her desk, stretching her muscles. "Well, I think it's safe to say I've got it down. Take that, Zero!" She pumped her fists in the air for a few seconds.
A minute after that, a knock sounded on her door. "Yuuki, dinner's ready. Hurry up." Zero's voice rumbled through the wood. Yuuki blinked in surprise. Had she really been studying that long?
"Coming!" She called, and stood up, walking to the door and opening it. Zero was waiting, leaning against the wall across from her door. Yuuki closed the door behind her and gave Zero a smile, replying warmly, "Let's go, then." They walked to the kitchen side by side. "I barely saw you all day. What were you doing?" Zero asked casually.
Yuuki looked up at him pridefully. "I was studying." She replied lightly. Zero shot her a glance. "All day?" Yuuki nodded. "Of course!" Zero snorted softly, "Congratulations." The chocolate haired girl beside him elbowed him in the arm in response. "Hey! I'm proud of myself! The least you could do is sound impressed! It was math, too! You know I struggle with it!"
The silver haired teen only sweatdropped a bit. They made it to the kitchen, where Headmaster Cross was already seated at the table, plates set out in their designated spots, food in the middle. "Yuuki~" Headmaster sang. "Hi, Head—err, father." Yuuki sat down in her usual spot, on the right side of her adopted father, while Zero sat across from her. They all sampled some food onto their plates and began eating, conversing about nothing and everything, with the occasional dramatic outburst from the Headmaster. It was an overall normal dinner, at least for them. That was alright, because being used to something gave them comfort. Granted, it wasn't what other people might call normal, but what was wrong with that?
