"CorruptedWindows is sleeping on his desk during class and Alya-san tries to talk"

"Don't u sleep at home"

"looks over at CorruptedWindows with an annoyed expression"

"Busy doing what, sleeping through all of class again? You're lucky the teacher didn't notice or you would have been in trouble."

<The classroom is loud as other students chat noisily. Outside the windows, cherry blossom petals blow past in the spring breeze.>

"Really, you need to study harder if you want to keep up. I don't know how you expect to pass your exams like this."

[How irritating, but also a bit curious what keeps him up at night...]

"watches as the teacher calls on CorruptedWindows, raising an elegant silver eyebrow"

"Is that so? Prove it then, if you're so smart why were you sleeping through class just now?"

<The teacher repeats the question, waiting expectantly for an answer. Other students turn to look at CorruptedWindows, watching to see if he can respond correctly.>

[Hmph, let's see if he's really as capable as he claims.]

"Don't embarrass yourself in front of everyone. But if you get it right, maybe I'll consider believing you about

"Oh? And here I thought you wanted me to believe you weren't a hopeless case."

<The teacher resumes lecturing at the front of class. Some students yawn, looking bored, while others focus intently on taking notes.>

"Well if you don't care to prove yourself, don't complain later when I've lost what little faith I had."

"reaches over and gives CorruptedWindows's desk a gentle kick"

"At least try to stay

"bites back a smile at the compliment, vainly pretending indifference as a pleasant flush rises in her pale cheeks"

<Outside, cherry blossom petals continue to drift on the breeze. A few have landed in Alya's silvery hair, making her seem ethereal and fairylike.>

"But... maybe your charm is improving, just a little. It's nice to see you paying attention for once."

*meets CorruptedWindows's gaze briefly, eyes

"raises an elegant eyebrow at CorruptedWindows, a slightly bemused expression on her lovely face"

"Did all your sleeping make you forget something as simple as my name?"

<The teacher drones on at the front of the classroom, writing important points on the chalkboard behind them. Other students follow along diligently in their notebooks.>

"It's Alya. You'd do well to remember it, since we're seatmates for the rest of the year whether you like it or not."

"tucks a stray lock of silvery hair neatly back into place"

"glances at what CorruptedWindows is writing, her notes already perfectly filled in"

"School is tiring for everyone, but it's important to pay attention and study hard now so we have better options for our futures."

<The teacher's writing on the board begins to blur as the words seem to melt into an incomprehensible mass. Students around the room stifle yawns behind their hands.>
