Chapter 119: Midterm Exams - Part 3

With that, the next morning, Thursday, I woke up before my alarm even had the chance to ring. I scrubbed my eyes, trying to shake off the grogginess before reaching for my phone to cancel the alarm. My dorm mate, Kimura, was also stirring, groggily sitting up in bed before standing and shuffling over to me.

"Can you make breakfast?" He asked, his voice still thick with sleep.

I nodded and stood up from my bed, taking a quick shower before beginning to prepare breakfast. I decided to keep it simple and made a plate of scrambled eggs with bacon for both of us. Kimura sat at the table, shovelling the food into his mouth with relish.

"Mm, this is some pretty good stuff" he said, between bites of the eggs and bacon.

I ate my breakfast in silence, not feeling particularly inclined to engage in small talk. Once we were finished, we headed out at the same time but to different classes. As we walked through the halls of the school, Kimura started a small talk.
