The sound of busy creatures, the sight of bustling humans minding their own lives, the moving of carts and stands past your form. A delicious smell of food hovering the atmosphere.
Undoubtedly, you were no longer in the tree filled forest anymore.
Amidst it all, you stood there. People and carts would occasionally pass you. The light wind blew strands of hair away from your blank face. Frozen in place, all you wanted to do was watch life in motion.
Standing there, in the middle of it all, made your legs felt heavy. Millions of conversations and different sounds reached your ears. There was so much to take in at once, you could barely breathe, lest you suffocate on the air of commerce.
Where do you even start?
The morning sun hit your face. You rolled to your side and slowly opened your eyes. A few blinks and then you rolled over and sat up. Your plan was to get up, if it weren't for the heavy object weighing down your legs to the bed. It was making loud noises too.
"Mrrrghrow... The trick to tests...is if there's two choices...it's a trick question... *Snore*" Grim was curled up on the blanket, snoring to himself as he slept.
Part of you was confused as to why the monster was on your bed. What helped clue you in was the numerous books scattered around the room, and on the bed as well. Then it came back to you.
That's right... Grim begged you for a last minute study session the night before. Always willing to help out others, you agreed and shared with him your studying knowledge. What you didn't account for was how long it would take, and it ended up being an extensive studying session. You couldn't remember how many hours you stayed up. It has to be at least three.
Even so, you needed to get out of bed. You need to get ready for school. Today was the final day of the exams.
Like you would a cat, you gently pet Grim's head to the side of his stomach. "Grim, wake up. It's morning."
Your touch plus the sudden voice made Grim jump up from slumber. As he did so, you quickly retracted your hand to avoid injury. He was rattled easily. "MYAH! Don't surprise me like that!" He jolted with a cry, gently hitting your arm with his paws. "You'll make me forget everything I memorized!"
"Sorry." You chuckled softly. "Do you remember what I told you yesterday, or do I need to explain again?"
Grim shook his head. "I think I got it! I'm gonna nail these exams! It's just Yuu I have to worry about..."
"I don't think you need to worry. He seems to know his stuff." You replied. As you recalled, Yuu was very intelligent, and his work ethic was impressive. In classes he always did very well. There's no doubt he'll score high marks.
Grim ran off to go wake up Yuu, and you got dressed for the day. Humming to yourself, you changed out of your nightgown and into your uniform. Thank goodness you picked up pajamas and other things from the mall. Finally, you didn't have to wear a botched version of your uniform as sleep wear.
And by botched, you meant you'd sleep in your folded button up. At least those days were over.
