The Next Day:
Sunlight streamed through the curtains, painting the hotel suite in a warm glow. The golden rays stretched across the luxurious bed, where Sera still lay, barely stirring. She was half-asleep when she felt movement beside her, and with a drowsy groan, she swatted at the air like a child refusing to wake up. Her voice was soft and weak as she mumbled, "What time is it?"
Alex's voice, calm and teasing, came from beside her. "Almost eleven. Do all college students sleep in late these days? Too Lazy… You do know that you're a Lazy gir."
Sera scrunched up her nose, still refusing to lift her head from the pillow. "L-lazy? Who are you calling lazy?" she grumbled before groaning in frustration. "You bastard… You kept me up half the night! I can barely move, and now you're blaming me for oversleeping?"
