Chapter 56: A New Day (1/2)

(Author's Note: Hehehehehehe)

One might always wonder how they should start their day.

Should they start with a lazy mind?

Or should they go in hot?

How does one treat every new day?

With the same positivity or with an indifferent attitude?

While the author doesn't know the answer to that, he would give you a reference.

...…..

A new day for Nico is like the start of a season.

It needed to begin great, and that's exactly what Nico did.

Following the daily rise of the sun, his bodily alarm woke him up as he felt the first ray of sunshine.

”What a wonderful day,” he yawned separating himself from his bed.

Yesterday, he was knocked out by the King's aura, and quite frankly, he still felt sore from that, but….the show must go on!

Standing up from his bed, he yanked off his cover, leaving himself his underwear as he walked to the window side.

With a great smile on his face, Nico inhaled the fresh air of a new day.

After five minutes of gazing at his surrounding, he went to the bathroom to take his bath.

*Whoosh!*

Ten minutes, the door of the bathroom opened along with hazy steam and a fully dressed Nico.

”I feel refreshed,” he commented as he combed his hair, which was cut short by his evident amateur hand, backward.

After making sure he was fully prepared, he walked out of the room with his leather backpack containing the resources he had prepared for the day.

*Knock!* *Knock!*

It didn't take long for Jake to arrive at the doorstep of the room opposite his. He knocked at the door with a special rhythm that could only be recognized by the person opposite the door.

The door opened and a tired voice was heard, ”Is that you, Nico?”

”Yes. Were you expecting someone else?” teased Nico.

Nico entered the room and smiled at the messiest person he had ever known, his sister.

”No, I just didn't expect for you to come this early,” replied Lola.

Despite her usual quiet nature, she was very lazy, especially when alone.

This could be seen from her appearance.

Sitting on a small chair near her bed, she hung her sleepy head on the top of the chair as she closed her eyes.

”Didn't we agree to meet up here in the morning?” smiled Nico.

”Idiot, our agreed time is an hour from now!” grunted the cranky Lola, as she scratched her untidy hair.

”Well, there's no time like the present,” gingerly smiled Nico, in an attempt to appease his sister, who was clearly not a morning person.

”Don't worry about me. I will comfortably wait for you here. After all, this is not the first time seeing you in your nightgown,” coaxed Nico.

He saw there was a candy bar sitting on a nearby stand. So, he stretched his hands to grab a sweet.

*Pa!*

A shoe thrown with an astounding force hit his face before Nico could even take the sweet.

”Hands off. It's mine!” a female voice, other than Lola, shouted at Nico.

Feeling wrong, Nico cried out, ”You could have told me that before you attacked me!”

The owner of the voice was Jaya, the childhood friends of the twins. She was also the roommate of Lola.

Jaya sat comfortably on the shared king-size bed, covered in a long blanket, except that her roommate was not on the bed.

In fact, Nico knew that Jaya had banned Lola from sleeping on the bed, due to her weird sleeping habit.

It was cruel, but Nico dared not seek justice for his sister. Among the three of them, Jaya was the undisputed boss.

And this boss was currently reading a book!

”Hey, Jaya,” greeted Nico.

He was replied by a nod from Jaya, who was too busy engrossed in her book.

Such behavior was not unfamiliar to Nico.

Having been with her almost all his life, he practically knew her from head to toe.

Jaya was a stubborn young lady, who doesn't talk when immersed in her books.

She was also disciplined which could be seen from her appearance. She had woken up early in the morning to take her bath and tidy herself.

From this, she was quite different from his weird sister.

”Hey!” shouted Lola, in an attempt to grab her brother's attention.

”What is it?” asked Nico with a perplexed face.

He thought, 'dealing with my sister is sure tiring. I prefer when she's as meek as a lamb.'

”Since we cannot waste time, how about I take my bath and we start our meeting?” offered Lola.

”Yes,” begged Nico

Jaya interjected, ”Please, go.”

”Why are you rushing me?” pouted Lola.

”Because you look unsightly,” sneered Jaya as shut down her roommate.
