I decided that agreeing with her was the far easier course of action than attempting to convince her otherwise. I didn't particularly feel the inclination to get into a verbal battle right then, just a physical one was going to be difficult enough, and I had the sinking feeling that she was one of those people that tossed any explanations under "excuses" or "complaints". Absently I rubbed my eye, trying not to think about how absolutely messed up my sleep cycle would be right now, and resigned myself to getting knocked around for a bit.

Fortunately, any response that she might have been ready to deliver was interrupted by the arrival of two others. The first I recognized, the mathematics teacher, who I turned to greet. The second was the taller of the two, a younger student who looked about as thrilled to be up and out as bed as I did. Or maybe I was just projecting. Either way, I gave him a sleepy wave.
