I look around the bathroom and my heartbeat is getting louder and louder, already making me feel anxious because of it. I turn off the bathroom light and walk out, then go to my room. Sitting back down at my desk and looking at my laptop I saw that the time was 1:21am.

- It would be time for bed.

I close my laptop and get up from my chair, turning off the lamp light I get into bed and look at my phone for a moment when an idea hits me. I open Lynk and text Sakura to meet me around 12pm today because it's Saturday.

After sending the message I turn off my phone and go to sleep, or at least that's what I was trying to do, I still couldn't sleep. The quietness of my room was giving me the creeps, I didn't feel confident, my breathing was the only thing audible in my room.

I turn to face the ceiling with a neutral face, I feel nothing, just my heartbeat and that's about it, I turn on my phone and decide to read in the hope that sleep will take me but I check the clock afterwards and see the time is 05:12 am.

- At least I don't have to go to school today and tomorrow so I'm somewhat glad.

I keep reading until 7am when I get a message from Sakura that she'd be happy to come see us. With no feeling I told her I was excited too and we agreed to meet in Shibuya for a cafe.

After that I put my phone on my bed and stared at the ceiling again, completely bored and without any activity I could do. Sunlight was streaming into my room so I got up and pulled the curtains to keep the light out.

I stretched and rubbed my head and then went into the bathroom to wash my eyes and teeth and then take a shower. Stepping into the shower I turned on the water, the cold water hitting me directly on the head. The feeling I got was one of peace.

Even so, I still had an uneasy feeling, feeling this water even when I was little but my body was not at all used to this temperature, it was torture for me then, but now I feel good taking a bath with ice cold water.

- At least I'm not tortured with this procedure anymore.

After the shower I wiped myself with a towel and put on new clothes, looking in the mirror I felt a slight relief on my back but I ignored this feeling too and got out of the bathroom, going to the kitchen I open the fridge and get myself a yogurt and some oatmeal and make myself breakfast.

While I'm eating I look out the kitchen window and see a bird sitting at the window looking at the sun. I take my eyes off it and randomly look around the kitchen because I am terribly bored.

After I eat I take a piece of bread and open the window giving the bird the piece of bread and the bird flies away with it.

Closing the window I see my reflection in it, my face still neutral but with little attempt at a smile. I take my eyes from the window and pick up my bowl and wash it thoroughly, putting it back I take a towel and wipe my hands.

I take a deep breath and exhale slowly, managing to calm down a little after my meal. I turn off the tap water and sit down. Looking at the walls I hear my phone ringing, I wanted to ignore it initially but the sound was too annoying and painful to listen to.

So I walk out of the kitchen and down the hall to my room, the sound becoming more painful to listen to so I rush to answer it, looking for 2 seconds I see Sakura calling me.

Answering Sakura's voice was raised, it sounded like she was yelling at me so I throw the phone out of my hand due to my hearing pain from her.

" Ishikawa-kun are you alright? What happened to you? ".

Picking up my phone from the floor without making too much noise I look at my watch and see that it's 8:35 am. " Is something wrong? " I asked Sakura in a calm but clearly annoyed tone.

" Nothing happened but I just wanted to see how you were doing "

I look with a neutral face at the phone and then start talking again.

" I'm doing fine, however now tell me the real reason why you called me " I said in a slightly raised tone.

She stays a little quiet but then continues to make her voice annoyingly calm but painfully loud.

"Sorry if I bothered you with anything, I just wanted to see how you were doing".

I take a deep breath and exhale quickly.

- It's already annoying talking to her.

" Sorry for raising my voice, I'm doing fine at the moment, I was sitting up in bed when I suddenly got a call from you and please stop talking so loudly if you can ".

"Yes, sorry".

Sakura's voice gets softer so my hearing doesn't hurt so bad because of her. She goes on to tell me about Friday's test and how all the students took that test.

- All the students? That means that test was pretty important for everyone.

"Thanks for telling me Sakura-san"

I could somewhat feel the smile on her face but I didn't say anything else, I stayed silent until she continued talking.

" Alright Ishikawa-kun, I'll see you soon! "

Her laughter destroying my hearing almost but I hang up the phone quickly. i lay down on the bed and lay in it. looking at the ceiling i don't feel so much, just boredom.

- All the students have had this test, I wonder why.

Boredom was high but I was waiting for it to be 9:30 in the morning at the latest to leave for Shibuya.
