Chihara Yoru and Morishita Sora

I, Chihara Yoru, am an eighteen-year old college student who begins studying political science today. After finishing high school, I now just want to study whilst being able to sit back and lead an easy life. If you asked any other student what their ambitions were, nine out of ten of them would probably say the same thing I just did. The remaining fraction would just not include the studying part.
'To live an easy life' is such a generic and simple concept, yet it can mean so many different things as the word 'easy' is subjective to each individual person. To clarify my standpoint on the matter, an easy life means to be free and absolutely loaded with cash, preferably with no fame attached of course. However, an easy life to somebody else could mean to have a nice family with a smooth-running job. To somebody else, it could even just be something most people usually take for granted, like three meals per day.
Asking about someone's ideal life for the future can really tell you the type of person they are and what that person wishes to achieve. Albeit, there is one contradiction that arises with this question, that being nobody ever answers by saying their life is already easy or satisfactory enough. Humans get comfortable too quick with what they are given on a regular basis and treat this as a norm, meaning they feel there is always a better version of what they have, which allows them to abandon the thought of having a privileged life with the intention of dwelling for even more. In simpler terms, we are all greedy. No matter how much we're given, we strive for more. Sometimes with pride, sometimes with shame.
The point of my inner monologue here was to say that even though we have our dreams and idealistic views, in a lot of cases, our current lives are fine the way they are. In some cases, when a human gets to greedy, instead of gaining what they want, they can end up losing everything, so its best to hold on tight to what you have.
Did I mention that I'm studying political science? Even if I didn't, you probably figured it out by how much I ramble on. The entrance ceremony starts soon, so I better get moving otherwise I will be late. I definitely want to show a good impression on my first day.

"Yo, Yoru" greeted my one-and-only good friend from high school, Morishita Sora, "how you feeling on your first day?"
Sora is a very casual-laid back guy. He has blonde-dyed hair which is slightly long with pierced ears. He is very chatty and is liked by just about everyone he speaks to. The only people who don't like him are the reclusive type who don't like people in general. I would probably be invisible to everyone else if it wasn't for his massive presence by my side.
"Definitely a bit nervous, but I'm ready to go." I replied, "We definitely should not have stayed up until two in the morning last night playing games though"
"Hahaha, tell me about it bro. I don't know if I'll survive the whole day" Sora agreed.
"Maybe we should get a coffee from the vending machine before we head inside?" I proposed, trying to give us an easy solution to keep our eyes awake for the rest of our first day.
"Good idea as always from you, Yoru. What would I do without you?" Sora accepted my proposal whilst gleefully smiling at me.
As mutually agreed, we made our way to the vending machine closest to the main hall so we would be ready for the entrance ceremony due to start in the next few minutes. We vaguely remembers the location from our tour around the campus before we enrolled at the university. Whilst on our walk to the antidote for our tiredness, Sora and I spoke about usual boy things: videogames and what girls we find cute. Every time we walked past a girl on campus, Sora would nudge me, signalling I should make my move. Of course I did not, I am not as social and courageous as he is. You could say my charisma stats are definitely hanging in the negatives. Thinking about it more deeply, I think this is why me and Sora have such a deep bond and amazing friendship. Whilst I am quite academically gifted, Sora fills in my social void by being emotionally intelligent with people and social situations. Then in reverse, I fill his academic void. He will introduce me to new people so I can grow socially, and I will help him study and learn so he can excel in exams. We boost each other up by covering the other's weakness. I won't comment on his behalf, but I really don't know what I would do without him.

After a short walk and internal monologue, we made it to our lord and saviour, the vending machine. We put in our money, and he blessed us with two cans of coffee. We can live to see another day! The can clicked as I desperately opened it to start guzzling the caffeine. 
"You've always been so impatient, haha" Sora laughed, trying to mock me.
"You can't blame me when I am running on very little sleep because you would not let me go to bed last night" I protested back to him.
We laughed with each other as we very quickly drank from our cans. You would think we haven't slept in weeks the way we were impatiently chugging them down. After about twenty seconds though, I started to feel a little light-headed.
"I definitely drank too much too fast" I thought to myself as my light-headedness started turning into a sharp migraine. My ears started ringing and my vision started going blurry. It was hard to focus and tell what was happening around me, but I think I fell to the ground and Sora tried catching me. There was too much going on for me to try and diagnose the sudden problems my body was facing. A few moments later, a bright, white light flashed in front of me. It was so bright, it was like a completely different world was facing me in the eyes, trying to invite me to the other side. My body was struggling, but eventually, it felt like that light had consumed me and I lost consciousness.

It seemed I would be late for my first day after all.
