[center][h2][color=gold]Ayasa Koutetsu[/color][/h2][b]-- April 9th, xxxx || Morning || Koutetsu Residence --[/b][/center] Unlike most of her peers, Ayasa found herself awake before the trolling of her alarm clock had a chance to stir her from her sleep. Ayasa was instead lost in the throes of studying some material for the year ahead. It didn’t do well to rest on one's laurel's after all. Much to her displeasure, her morning study session was interrupted by the call of her alarm clock to indicate it was time to start preparing for school. A sigh left Ayasa as she got up from her desk and began her morning routine. A shower, applying some makeup, tying up her hair in a ponytail and eating some breakfast. Both of Ayasa’s parents worked in the nearby city for some large companies that she was never particularly interested in hearing about, and so they had gotten up and departed before even Ayasa was awake. Being the dutiful and well-mannered daughter that she was she made sure to clean up the kitchen and ensure that the preparation for this evenings meal was ready before heading out to school herself. Packing her schoolbag with the essential school supplies; all of the reading material required, some additional books, her lunch and some snacks. Ayasa had little time for distractions but she couldn’t help but notice a strange feeling the air. Was it excitement? Maybe sickness? She couldn’t quite place her finger on it but she knew she felt different somehow. Still, it was hardly enough to keep her away from school. Ayasa headed out of the door and made her way to school.

[color=IndianRed][b]“Aya! Wait up! Don’t walk so fast.”[/b][/color] [color=gold][b]“I’m not walking fast Mio, maybe you shouldn’t be so slow.”[/b][/color] [color=IndianRed][b]“Hey, no fair!”[/b][/color] [color=lightblue][b]“It’s true Mio, you’re always the one trailing behind.”[/b][/color] [color=IndianRed][b]“Boooo, you guys are the worst! I’m not walking to school with you two anymore.”[/b][/color] The three girls giggled as they made their way to school. Walking down the river bank on the way to school; many other students making their way hurriedly. Some students walked with friends, some made their way to school on their own. The girl continued to gossip about idle unimportant things before they eventually reached the school gates.

She saw the bodies of various students file into the building. She could see students bumping into each other and catching up with classmates as they all made their way into the building. Making her own way in Ayasa quickly said goodbye to her friends and made her way to her classroom. Nothing overwhelmingly interesting happened during the morning class. Like most diligent students Ayasa spent the morning focusing intently on the lectures of her teachers and on her studies. She worked hard to maintain her exceptional grades after all. Thankfully she was familiar with most of the material that was being worked over and the morning phased past rather quickly.

The girls had a habit of enjoying their lunch together often as Mio asked Ai and Ayasa to explain what actually happened during their morning class. It wasn’t that Mio was stupid per say, but she certainly lent herself more to creative pursuits and her poor memory certainly wasn’t doing her cause any favours. However, today’s lunchtime was instead populated by the talk of Mio’s latest crush; a handsome boy in the year below. All the talking quickly left Ayasa thirsty and she realised she’d forgot to bring a drink to wash her lunch down with, excusing herself, Ayasa made her way out of her classroom and towards one of the vending machines in the hallway. She paused in front of it as she mulled the selection of drinks.
