Yashi woke up to the soothing music from her alarm clock. Looking over at her wall-mounted alarm clock reading 7:45, as it usually did when her alarm went off. She got up, went over, and shut off the music. She went over to her balcony and breathed the fresh air she had been breathing for 4 years now. The light blue sky and white puffy clouds reminded her of a planet she read about in a book called "If We Were Wrong", where instead of 4 planets that are habitable, only 1 was habitable. She thought it was something like Urth. It had been 7 years since she read it, but the ideas really gripped to her, as if they were real.
Just then, her roomate woke up. She was obviously in the middle of a weird dream, because she said "Puffy Chocolate clouds" in a half-asleep voice. Yashi still didn't know what her name was, but everyone, even the professors, called her "Ekno". "Why did you wake me," Ekno murmurred. "You woke up on your own today," Yashi said. "If I woke up on my own, I would have been asleed till noon," Ekno said in a groggy voice she sometimes switched to randomly. It was odd, it sounded like one of the cats that were enchantet to speak. She decided to dismiss this as she usually did and go take a bath. "He's not coming you know," Ekno shouted in her normal voice. "He's not going to be able to afford a ticket." Yashi had gotten a call 3 weeks ago that Yarotina was coming to Ricasia Major for her birthday. She wasn't home at the time and it saved to voicemail, so she kept the message to listen to daily. Ever since Ekno had heard this call, she taunted Yashi with it. "He is coming," Yashi shouted back. "I hope you're not asleep when he comes." Ekno didn't respond. The only thing she got affended by was her sleep disorder. Yashi silently laughed and put on her college uniform. Knowing she was probably going to be attacked by Ekno, she sneaked out a secrt door and knocked on their own front door. "Better hurry up!" Yashi said from outside, and skipped merrily to the school.
