"Catch me if you can~ hahaha" Little lia strides thru the cement path with the little girl tailing her.
                          
"Wait till i get you lia unnie!!" They ran and ran until lia abruptly stops on her place. The little girl catches up while panting and tags lia.
                          
"I-i-.....got ya..." She held her knees while catching her breath. The little girl finally looks up and sees lia looking somewhere. She glances to where her eyes are pointed and it led to a small...kitten?
                          
"Aww~you look so cute!!" Lia coos and approaches the adorable thing. Lia starts to pet it and surprisingly the cat didnt ran off, instead it purred. The little girl watches lia in amusement but soon joined in cooing. They glided their little palms on the kittens fur, a smile plastered on their faces.
                          
"You know..it kinda looks like you." Lia says. The little girl raises her brows in confusion.
                          
"How?" She said, still petting the kitten.
                          
"Well....when you smile...your dimples shows up and it looks like whiskers!!" Lia giggles. The little girl blushes.
                          
"And it reminds me of a kitten...." lia looks at the little girl with a soft smile.
                          
"......a beautiful kitten.."

Lia's POV

                          
I slumped myself on my chair and laid my head on the table. I closed my eyes and snored, desperately wanting to sleep on a comfy bed. I groaned and ruffled my hair. I hear the seats beside me move.
                          
"You okay lia unnie?" I look up to see both of my friends with worried expressions. I forced myself to smile and answered.
                          
"Yeah...im fine don't worry." I yawned.
                          
"What happened? You look tired." Chaeryeong asked. Yuna answered her for me.
                          
"Well..you see.. i asked her to help me with my homework..and i kinda slept.....leaving her with all the assignments." Yuna scratches her neck while explaining. Chaeryeong sighed deeply and scolded yuna.
                          
"Yuna...you could've helped her. Why would you let her do it all." Yuna looks down.
                          
"It's fine ryeongchae~ She looked genuinely tired, so i just did it myself. Its okay." I assured her. Chaeryeong slowly nods, worry can still be seen in her eyes.
                          
"Are you sure you okay? Can you make it til class ends?"I nodded and raised my thumbs up with a determined smile. At the same time ryujin and others came in with Ms. minatozaki. We all waved at each other.
                          
"Good Afternoon class!!" She greets us.
                          
"Good Afternoon maam!!" They said back.
                          
"g-good afternoon..maam." I groggily said a second late. The teacher smiles brightly, lighting up the whole classroom. Her smile was contagious. She's Ms.minatozaki after all.
                          
"Okay today. Were gonna learn about our abilities. Kindly take out your notebooks." She turns around the blackboard and wrote something. All of us pulled out our books from our bags to copy. I opened my notebook and sighed. 'Oh well..i guess i'll just have to endure it' I yawned once more and listened to Ms. Minatozaki as she discussed our lesson.

-Time skip-

                          
It was already halfway the lesson. I struggled to keep my eyes open. I didn't want to miss anything. 'Ah fuck im so sleepy' I slapped my cheeks a couple of times to wake myself up.
