Resting

"Meow...meow" the purring sound of a cat resounded through the whole room, scratching the woman who's sleeping soundly. Inside the darkroom, where no sunlight can pass through, the poor pet tries to wake up his lazy master.

"Nghm" the woman murmured drowsily, turning onto the other side of the single bed and waving her right arm off the fat cat.

"Ngi-yawww!" replied the pet when the lady's thigh landed directly on his head.

The constant nagging of her cat, Tael, made Morgana wake up from her deep slumber. Her long raven hair falls unruly on her back as she gets up, stretching her arms on the process.

Another scratch mark is visible on her white thigh, she's indeed a heavy sleeper only when there's pain that she's able to wake up.

Her lashes flutter under her covered face, the pain from the Tael's nails did not even bother her.

Slowly fixing her unruly bangs by putting up one of her hair clips, her amber eyes are revealed.

Tying up her bangs has been her daily routine, a thing that she can do even with her eyes closed.

'What time is it?' She wondered while her mind is still in a daze, she's not really a morning person.

This is already the second month of her being in that academy. So far, she's on track of her mission.

"8:50" she mouthed absentmindedly as her eyes watch the clock continue turning.

Tick tock...

Her class is supposed to start at 7 but her body was too drained. The underground battle she joined yesterday was a tough one compared to the past. It seems like the Dark Cartel is really pushing her body into exhaustion these days...

She yawned once more before finally deciding to get up. Her feet touched the cold tiled floor as she continues walking out of her room.

Another dreary day of her life.

Putting food on Tael's bowl, the cat finally went silent as he munches his daily food.

Now, it's time to feed her growling stomach too.

"Same food again huh?" She said to herself even though she already knows what lies inside the minirefrigerator.

Growing too tired of complains, she grabs the paper plate inside, a complete regular meal with vegetables, fruits and a small portion of rice. This has been her diet ever since.

She lazily grabs the only set of spoon and fork she has, giving a silent prayer before devouring the flavorless delicacy.

It tasted good before...but after eating repeatedly, her taste buds started to grow numb. Still, she enjoyed the food as she was always thankful to have something to eat.

Her black and white condo looks larger than what it looks like, enclosing alone a woman's frail body.

After disposing the paper plate, she groggily grabs her white towel, for now, she'll have to settle for 40 minutes of a bath.

Coldwater started pouring down her curvaceous body, this thing that Morgana has been hiding in layers of clothing. She started shampooing her waist-length raven her, even the bangs that were covering her face were shoved upward, revealing her most hidden secret.

What should she do today after going to school?

Her mind wondered but in reality, she knows how the day will go by.

Cigarettes, booze, and fights, that's where her life constantly moves. Well, having these vices made her life a little happier.

Visible marks can be seen on her fair skin, good thing their school uniform has long sleeves, hiding the marks from the secret battle.

Forty minutes is a short time if spent on thinking, she went on to get her uniform. A short checkered skirt, in color black with maroon partnered with buttoned white long sleeves matched with a black blazer with maroon linings. A brooch that shows the empire's symbol on their right chest completed their attire. It shines every time the light hits it, making them known as the student from the prestigious school.

After tying her necktie and putting up her shoes, Morgana is now prepared to venture this day.

Letting her wet hair on loose and bangs slightly blocking her eyes, she started to walk towards Noblesse Academy.

Her place is very near the Academy, it will only take her 10 minutes to walk and 5 minutes when she runs.

"Good morning Miss" the guards greeted her upon arrival, thinking that she's a daughter from an elite family. Morgana just nods politely before going in.

Her eyes scanned the place she'll be staying for another 3 months and a half, this place is too sweet for her liking. The cherry blossoms on full bloom as she walks through the tiled corridor. There are no students in sight anymore, after all, classes already started hours ago.

Their school is divided into four buildings for learning, one for academic learning, another for laboratories and experiments, one for sports and the last for arts and music. Even though each building has 5 stories. Everyone has their own canteen, clinic, and library, making it accessible and convenient to everyone wherever they are.

However, for Morgana, these facilities looked boring no matter how good they were in sight.

Putting down her bag on one side of a cherry blossom tree, she started to lie down on the grassed part of their field, back in the garden where people rarely come. She completed her task, she ranked first among the second years, now, all she has to do is to wait for the school's go signal to let her approach the crown prince.

She inhaled a lot of air before grabbing a stick of cigarette, lighting it expertly.

Maybe, she's going to her math class later in the afternoon, maybe...

She closed her eyes while puffing the cigar off. She's really addicted to nicotine. At least, in times like this, she momentarily forgets all her problems.

"Damn mission" she murmured before looking upon the clear skies when a figure of a man blocked her vision.

"Cutting classes, cursing, smoking on school grounds, congrats Miss, you earned yourself 2 weeks of suspension" was what the man said before typing on his cellphone.

And at that moment, Morgana's stable heart began to went rampant, she cursed more before standing abruptly.

Of all the times she did this, this is the first time she has been caught.

But that is not the problem alone...

It was none other than Aiden Trevor Fergus who got her!

Big damn.
