Artemis POV ☾~

I sigh as I finally realized I had to get out my bed.. is it really my bed? No matter. Then it hit me, I went to sleep in my clothes, thanks past me.. And I was exhausted as I finally pull myself up from the bed, as I rub my eyes I felt so exhausted and tired, I just wanted to go to bed and close my eyes forever.

I look at my uniform before picking it up.. Let's hope a shower will wake me up.. I walk up to my door before making my way to the bathroom and close it behind me.

(I don't know if it's weird or not to bring your clothes and change in their after you shower 😭)

After eight minutes passed under the cold, almost freezing water, I step out of the shower. Water dripped down my hair and body, I was so forced on trying to get the water out my vision I didn't even notice I was starting to continue the habits I was doing at the orphanage, I started thinking about it because it was those routines that I kept repeating for sixteen years, I tried to think of something  else because I need to force on what's happening here and now, and not what happened then.

After finally drying myself. After changing into my uniform pants, and shirt I start to button up my white collar, long sleeved shirt, I put on my vest as I put it on I catch a loose thread, I sigh but remember I can sew that's a easy fix for me it's not a big concern. I start to straighten out my uniform as best I could with my hands, I look down at the school logo and I am still shock I got in the school..

but I start to smile at the memories I made with my friends.... and boyfriend. I look at the mirror and fix my hair a little, I mean it's not like I brush it or can.. I have grown out my hair a lot.. I will need to cut it soon, but I just feel like I can't.. But I feel like someone told me something about hair..

I heard a knock on the door and I turn around to the door to open it before I hear, "Umm..Whoever is in the bathroom can you hurry up please?" It was... Rikku. How long have I been the bathroom?

"Sorry Rikku!" I yell out to her as I hurriedly brushed my teeth as fast as I could as to not make her wait..

"Sorry Rikku for making you wait!" I say as I open the door and move out her way. "But you don't really wake up this early.." I question as I tit my head. "I am trying to wake up and not be late to homeroom!" She giggles.

"Oh, well I will get out you way-" I tried to say,  before I was interrupted by a coughing fit, a loud and painful cough, it even left me gasping for air. Of course out of courtesy I covered my mouth, it didn't help much to reduce the coughing, and it was start to get hard to breathe, I hope and pray I am not sick.

"Are you okay?" Rikku asked as her eyebrow raised and she tilted her head. "Umm.. Artemis?"

I wanted to give her an explanation for all the coughing, so I said the first thing that came to mind. "Sorry Rikku.. umm allergies?" "Allergies? From what?" Rikku asked as she had a confused expression on her face.

"Dust.. Yeah dust." I knew dust probably wouldn't be a good excuse for why I was coughing like I was dieing. Rikku's  face had a confused look on her face, it was clear as day she didn't believe me, if you couldn't tell I am a horrible liar.

None's POV ★彡~

Rikku just furrowed her eyebrows in concern of Artemis's pain, it was loud and sounded painful. Rikku knew none just coughs like that from nothing, and Artemis was mostly likely lying, Rikku couldn't help but feel like his hiding something..

Artemis's POV ☾~

This time I didn't have to run to school because I was early, well early but exhausted. As I was walking down to my homeroom, to finally be first in class. The moment I sat down everyone came pouring in, I mean at least they were not late, and there was one person in the crowd I was looking for.. Shino of course!
