I couldn't sleep tonight.
Now I can only wait for morning to come.
Ah, that's right.
Right now I didn't know what time it was, so I opened my phone and looked at it.
It turned out that the morning arrived in 2 hours, I thought it would be a long time if I just stayed still.
For that reason, I decided to move around and try my hand at activities inside my dorm room.
The room felt quite cramped, so I only did some warm-up movements such as push ups, sit ups, pull ups, and also star jumps.
I did push ups and sit ups 100 times by the bed where I slept, while for pull ups I did 50 times by the door.
The last part was star jumping, I did it as many times as possible until my body felt tired.
One jump, two jumps...
I kept counting.
In the end I was able to do the star jump 538 times, after which my body felt tired.
I hope I can do more than that this time.
429 jumps, ..., 500 jumps, ..., 561 jumps.
Agh!
My stomach was hurting, so I stopped it at 561 jumps.
It was an improvement because I did more than before.
Compared to the other warm-up moves, I chose to do a lot of star jumps.
The reason?
I'll mention them one by one as proof that star jumping is the best form of warm-up before athletic activities.
The first is of course to improve cardiovascular health, then it can also relieve stress, improve coordination, strengthen bones, increase flexibility, and lastly, lose weight.
Finished with this in-room activity, I decided to stay quiet while wiping the sweat off my body.
I also took off the casual clothes that I had bought yesterday afternoon because they were soaked with my sweat.
When I came home that afternoon after shopping, I immediately opened my closet and sure enough, all the casual clothes my father had given me were suddenly gone.
Instead, I found two pieces of compulsory school uniform displayed in my closet.
So in total, I had three pieces of compulsory school uniform now.
Then I went to the bathroom and as expected everything disappeared without a trace, one of which was the towel my father gave me.
Well, what can I do.
I can't protest and go against the school rules, so I can only follow them.
I thought my body had no more sweat now, so I decided to take a shower so my body wouldn't smell.
After all, what student doesn't take a shower when going to school.
Before taking a shower, I opened my cell phone to check the time and found that I had 30 minutes left before the guy woke me up.
After about 10 minutes in the bathroom, I finally finished showering and came out using the towel I had just bought yesterday afternoon.
No, actually Fisa and I got it for free.
Then, I took the mandatory school uniform and put it on.
After being completely ready, I went to school even though it was still too early.
Even though it was still early, there were some of my classmates already in the classroom, probably around seven people.
One of them was Fisa, it turned out that she came early, probably since she was punished by the person who woke her up.
She was busy talking to the others while showing her distinct smile.
I didn't understand.
The smile Fisa showed me was different from the others.
I could have asked her directly, but somehow deep inside me said that I should be able to understand it myself.
Because I was staring at Fisa for too long, our eyes met and she did the same thing as before, which was to turn her face away.
I've had that happen to me a few times since attending school here, so I was curious as to why she did it.
I'm usually very quick in thinking and analyzing things, but since when did I become this slow?
Well, I only have one last way to understand her.
I'm going to eavesdrop a bit on the conversation going on between Fisa and the others.
I'm pretty confident in my ear skills, so I hope I can hear their conversation.
"I heard there's a discount for couples. I wanted to buy it, but I don't have a boyfriend."
Oh, I thought they were talking about the store that had a couples' discount yesterday.
"Why complain? Aren't we going to be given 1,000 points every month?"
"Uh, really? I didn't know."
"Yeah, I heard it was like that."
"Wow, this school is the best! I don't have to worry about the returned items anymore."
1,000 points every month?
Is that true?
I seem to have heard something interesting.
I wasn't sure if it was the truth, because Rose would definitely tell me about such an important thing.
Even if it is true, then I think this school spoils its students too much.
Just imagining that the students are given 1,000 points that are equally worth 1,000 US dollars, with the goal of becoming a genius, I'm not sure if that's the right choice.
Well, for now I still doubt it.
"What's wrong with you, Fisa?"
This time the topic shifted and they involved Fisa.
"N-nothing!"
"Suspicious, did something happen yesterday?"
"Really, nothing!"
"But you're so predictable, Fisa. Just be honest with your own friend!"
So predictable?
Am I too stupid for not understanding it until now?
I feel like I'm going through a defeat right now.
Ah, that's right.
Fisa used to reprimand me at times like this, but now she doesn't do it anymore.
Did I do something wrong?
Oh, did kissing her that time go too far?
I guess I'll have to apologize to her properly later.
"Everyone, Mr. Smith can't make it today! So we'll be learning on our own until it's time to go home. But even so, Mr. Smith told us not to make any noise."
As I was eavesdropping on their conversation, Lina suddenly spoke to everyone in the class that Mr. Smith wasn't teaching today.
"Yoshaa!!!"
"Yeahhh!"
"Isn't this great?!"
"Very good!"
Before I knew it, everyone was already present in this class, so I could witness the bustling atmosphere of the class.
Everything was switched to independent learning.
They looked very happy that Mr. Smith couldn't come and teach for today.
That was different from me, for some reason I thought that Mr. Smith just felt lazy to teach class 1-E.
Moreover, he once said that class 1-E was a low class.
Or did Mr. Smith deliberately not teach today for a specific purpose?
For now I still don't know, but in the next few hours I'm sure that I'll find out.
Well, put that aside.
I want to talk to Fisa now while there's a free hour.
How can I get her to talk to me?
Do I have to get close to her like she did to me?
That was my only option.
I got up from my chair, then I walked over to Fisa.
"Hey, Fisa."
I called out to her.
"Eh?! Satomi? What's wrong?"
I was sure that I didn't startle her.
But she looked panicked, which made me even more clueless.
"Satomi, it's unusual for you to call Fisa. Usually you're always alone."
This girl, what's her name?
I didn't recognize them properly because I didn't pay attention to the introduction session back then.
Come to think of it, I only know 7 people in this school.
Mr. Smith, Ms. Laurent, Danna, Lina, Rose, Harry, and finally Fisa.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
"Huh?! You seriously don't know my name?"
This girl looked surprised.
"Well, I don't care, anyway. I only have business with Fisa."
"What are you saying?! I'm not going to hand Fisa over to someone like you!"
Now she looks angry.
I don't understand.
Well, this is just how I am.
I deserve to be scolded by her.
"Stop it already, Cika!"
So this girl's name is Cika.
I think I know eight people now.
"And also, Satomi. What's up all of a sudden? You don't usually come to me."
"Well, I wanted to apologize."
"S-stupid, don't talk about it here!"
"Why?"
"Just don't! Sorry, I'm going to the toilet first!"
"Oh, Fisa!"
She left the classroom just like that.
Really, I still don't understand this girl named Fisa Campbell.
I don't know how long it will take for me to understand her.
I don't know either, but I hope to understand it as soon as possible.
