*riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing*

Waking up is never fun unless there is a woman at your side...I guess...I never woke up like that, but it must be nice.

Well, it's 6 AM, I've got only 6 hours of sleep, I guess if I really wanted to, I could have more, but those light novels can't read themselves can they?

Brushing my teeth, eating, showering and brushing again my teeth took only 20 minutes.

I know, this is one special routine but this is how I was raised: For most of my childhood, it was hard for me to finish a breakfast without dirtying myself, and as for why I brush my teeth twice, it's just that I can't accept this smell.

10 more min passed by while looking around doing nothing.

Yep, time well spent, but any more and I will be late.

Looking at the two rooms that I rent, I sigh.

It's small, there is no furniture except a Tv, a bed and a fridge.

Yep if I want to make myself something to eat, I need leave my home. It's sad, but the rent is cheap.

After closing the door and descending the stair, I start to jog.

With my headphone on my head, nobody will bother me.

Running from home to the Uni takes 30 minutes, I guess it would only take 5 min or something by bus, but I don't have enough money to spend it every day on transport.

Well, I have a little over 10k dollars and I didn't take any loan to pay the school, but those 10k are the only thing I have.

I have no more parent to depend on, both died in a plane crash, and no family that I know of that will help me.

Thinking about how pitiful my life is, the 30-minute run passed by in a flash (AN: thx Dacraun).

Not even breaking a sweat, I arrive at the university, I guess all of this running did give me some stamina.

Finding a chair, I directly closed my eyes to try to sleep, the course starts at 9 AM.

As for why I am here so early it's only because you can't find a chair if you come any later.

Why would a history course have so many people coming?

Two words: Mika H.

That's the one teaching, a black haired woman with curves that would shame a top-model.

It's said that she is working here to keep her sister alive or something or that she has a big background.

Whatever it is, call me cold or call me an asshole, but I don't care.

I just took this course, hoping for a quiet time, with few people, so that I would get a degree without any problem.

Now, looking around me, at the room that is now fully packed, that it'll be hard to get what I wanted.

I'm pretty sure that the one beside me should be major in maths, well again, not that I care.

I didn't even notice when Mika entered, but she did and started talking.

I don't want to work at home so I have to be focused here, which is hard with all the antics of all the men around me.

***

3 hours passed by and it was time to go home.

The course finished one hour ago but I choose to stay to work a little on what we just saw.

Leaving the room, I saw Mika talking to a man I never saw.

"---time's almost up" "payment" "get it" " please" "time"

-were some words I could understand.

Before hearing more, I was spotted by Mika, who looked surprised to see me here.

"Dio, what are you doing here? You should have already left." M

yeah, Dio is my name, this is what happens when you let a manga fan (my father) choose the name of a baby.

I should probably hate the manga where my name comes from, but I can't.

I mean, this Dio is awesome, even while thinking about all the trolls I've come across all my life I can't hate him.

"Don't worry, I'm leaving"

Without even looking at them, I started running, men that were around me in class would kill to have this woman talk to them, but I didn't care.

Well, that's wrong, I would appreciate if that didn't make me the public enemy.

I guess something special happened for once in this as usual boring day.

****

30 min of running later

"I'm home"

Of course, no answer.

Thinking about the morning, it was better than usual, I guess that one sentence of Mika did make me happy, I mean in the hundred we are in the course, she knows my name.

"What can I say? I' m special" I said arrogantly.

"More than you think" unknown
