Chapter 34

<<Chirp, chirp, chirp>>

“It’s so loud…”

I clumsily opened my eyes, once again. I felt too exhausted.

“Yawwwwnnn……” - I simply covered up my mouth with my hand. I was too exhausted to stretch my arms and touch the ceiling.

It's a stupid ritual, after all.

“Ugh…” - I grumbled.

I hate mornings.

As usual, I climbed down my bunk bed while still half asleep.

I turned around to my desk and saw the stuff properly organized there. I didn't bother to check what was missing and what was not. I simply felt too tired.

Not much time passed since I left the house.

As usual, the house was empty.

“Yawnn…” - I covered my mouth with my hand. For some reason, I can’t stop yawning today. I just feel so exhausted.

Maybe I didn’t want to wake up?

It would be nice if I didn't.

I just feel too exhausted.

//

<<Tap, tap>> - A long haired girl walks exhausted down the street.

<<Tap, tap>> - The girl yawns once again as she crosses by the small intersection.

Suddenly, she stops her tracks.

A bell chimes in the distance.

<<Clank>>

<<Clank>>

<<claNk>>

The girl frozes over.

The noise suddenly stopped.

Slowly, but surely, something is creaking behind her.

The girl seems to have noticed this, but alas, too bad, her body won’t respond to her mind.

<<Tap>>

<<Tap>>

<<taP>>

She heard one final step right behind her.

The girl felt cold sweat going down her neck. She knew what was about to happen. It had already happened way too many times.

She felt her heartbeat growing louder, and she felt her breath coming to a halt.

“…”

Suddenly, the girl turned around.

In front of her, she could look at her stalker.

It was just herself.

The girl in front of her had long hair and was wearing an uniform.

Without warning, the long-haired girl smiled and pushed the other girl.

<<Shreeeech>> - Some car tires echoed on the asphalt.

"Good night" - said the long-haired girl while giggling.

The other girl smiled as the car came close to her.
