Chapter Ten:
Against a Fazed Heart

╚═════ ∘◦ ❈ ◦∘ ══════╝

In the next flush of morning, the broad, thick clouds wrapped the dust-grey sky at the break of day. The misty and chilly waft of air acquainting the students of Kamome Gakuen and Y/N.

She couldn't stop worrying about Yashiro ever since yesterday, when they got separated from each other. Sad to say, Yashiro and her never got each other's contact information, so the teething troubles Y/N had didn't get any better.

She wished on all the stars in the bespangled night prior, praying for her best friend to be alright.

Y/N slid open the door of Classroom 1-A.

Inside, a boy with short brown hair and dark green eyes carried a stack of papers, standing next to the brown-wooden stand up table of the classroom, flicking through the sheets.

"Ohayō, Fuji-san." she waved at the boy.

Fuji switched his eyes over to the girl underneath the doorway.

A rattled expression arose from him, and he set aside the papers onto the desk. "Ah! Gomen, I didn't see you there." He presented a timid smile. "Ohayō gozaimasu, L/N-san. You showed up a lot earlier than usual today."

With her troubled thoughts, Y/N didn't receive a sufficient amount of sleep. That is, if she even got any.

She left her house quicker than normal, her mind revolving around if whether Yashiro would be at school today. Since her showing up at school was the only indicator for Y/N if Yashiro got back safely.

But, of course.. That wasn't all why she couldn't sleep.

A part of it was due to what happened between her and Tsukasa.

Y/N's parents also said something about the odd time of when she was leaving this morning. To be exact, she left 30 minutes earlier than during a normal morning.

(Back at the L/N Household)

"N/N-chan, leaving already?" Ohara asked, yawning afterwards.

"Yes." Y/N answered in a muzzled voice, sitting on the sofa of the living room, shoving her textbooks in her briefcase.

"Hmm.." Ohara crossed her arms, binding her open brown-robe closed. She leaned her side against the wall. "But why so early?"

"To study.." Y/N mumbled underneath her breath, E/C eyes dejected to her hands, not looking at her mother. "I guess.."

"Thirty extra minutes of studying time in the morning won't do you any good."

Taiki, who sat cross-legged on the leather love-seat across Y/N, pressed his glasses higher on the bridge of his nose as he skimmed through the daily newspaper.

His eyes thrusted to Y/N.

"Considering your average is now a 95%, you'd have to study at least three more extra hours to get it higher."

Y/N's grip on her bag tightened up.

"Hai. Wakatta."
