"Hey, get up!"
Ugh, why....
Alexandru's eyes fluttered open. He groaned. Getting up early was not his thing.
"Do I really have to?"
Seira put her hands on her hips. "You were bored here yesterday, weren't you?"
Alexandru pulled the blanket over his head and grumbled.
"Weren't you?"
"Ugh, fine."
He reluctantly pushed the blankets off of himself and slumped out of bed. He closed his eyes and stretched.
Whack!
He jumped. When he looked down, he saw a new set of clothes sitting on the floor partially unfolded. A uniform.
Did she just throw that at me?
"Put that on. That was my brother's old uniform. It should fit."
So she did....
"Fine. I'll be ready in a bit."

A few minutes later, Alexandru shuffled into the kitchen. Seira looked up from her breakfast and laughed.
"What's with that face?" She giggled.
"It's...so...light..." he said.
She shook her head. "I bet you'd like it better if it were black."
"Well...I...I mean...."
"Wouldn't you?" she said, putting her hands on her hips, smirking.
He sighed. "Y-yeah...."
"Knew it."
Alexandru rolled his eyes. "Whatever. Shouldn't we be...going?"
Seira turned to the clock. Her eyes widened and she jumped up.
"What, what is it?"
"We were supposed to leave five minutes ago," she said, frantically gathering her things. She threw her bag over her shoulder and ran out the door.
"Hey...hey, wait! Seira!"
