The next day greeted me with an unusual feeling of exhaustion.
Unlike the previous days where I had woken up In excitement for the Exchange, this one in particular, made me feel like staying in bed for the whole day.
I had worked really hard the previous night, mixing lots of chemicals and trying out their various effects. Wasn't I allowed one day off, just to rest and collect my thoughts?
'I think… I do…'
Suddenly, an image flashes through my mind!
It was an image of a particular golden-haired boy, who wore a casual smile and had an air of ease around him. Once this image appeared in my head, I sprang out of bed!
"What do you think you're doing, Jared! It's time to hustle!"
In a flash, I made my way across the room and did all I had to do. I brushed, bathed, and got dressed!
I was done in a jiffy, and the moment I was properly clothed, my legs carried me beyond my room as I raced away from the Dorm.
Fortunately, the hallway was abandoned and I met no one on the premises.
