Kumiko awoke thinking about how shitty the night had been, if only for a few seconds. It was Monday. Today was the day that she'd find out how the auditions went. This was going to be a good day for her and no one was going to ruin it. Not Kojiro, not his idiot book-worm, or his freakish friend.
She did her face up and styled her hair as usual. Before she left for school she spent some time looking at a custom order website.
"Time to run." Kumiko left her room and ran to the school grounds. It was a wonder how she could do it in those heels.

As usual, Akinari rose before his alarm clock could yell at him. He was busy cooking. Today's lunch featured characters right out of his mother's stories. Hisu-Kichii the cat, Kottani-kun the rabbit, Pa-kuma the half panda, half bear, and Saruko-chan the monkey. Akinari took a picture of it all to show to his mother later. She'd be happy to see it.
"Oh, time to run." He took the bento down to Eber's room and knocked on the door. "Good morning, Eber-kun! I brought your lunch for today. Are you ready to go jog?"
