"..."

That dream again... Geez... When am I going to forget about her?

*groan*

I stretch as I grab my towel to take a bath and get ready for school.

[After the bath]

After I finish dressing up, I heard my front door open.

"It must be her." I said to myself.

I went outside my room and walked down to confirm my assumption.

????: "Hey Will!"

Yep. It was Rose, my girlfriend. She was also cooking breakfast.

"You didn't have to do this you know."

She giggled.

Rose: "You can sit down! I'm almost done cooking."

I smiled at her and sat down. Waiting for her.

[After eating]

We were both done eating so I picked up the plates and began washing them.

Rose: "You don't have to do this you know~"

She said while hugging me from behind.

"Don't use my own words against me~" I said playfully.

I finished washing the dishes and prepared to dry the plates when I heard the door open. I turned to see who it was.

???: "..."

"...? Oh hey Amy!"

Rose turned to look at her as Amy stared at her

"You can just wait outside! I'm almost done washing the dishes!"

Amy: "... Okay."

She went outside slowly and Rose moves to go outside as well.

Rose: "I'll go outside now too! I wanna talk to Amy about something as well."

"Alright, I'll be ready in a bit."

The door opened and closed. She must have gone out. I dried the last plate with a cloth and put it on the cabinet, grabbed my bag, and opened the door.

It seemed Rose and Amy were done with their talk as Rose was looking in my direction and Amy was... looking at the sky?

"Didn't keep you guys waiting long did I?"
