Gifted Academy: The Perfect Student

?On the way back from school, I got a text from Kanako.

just finished my exams, results are coming out on friday

Ah, it looks like it won't be much later before I am relieved of my duties.

I slowly made my way back to my dorm room.

There wasn't much I needed to do today. I hoped to just be able to sit on my bed and read through 1984. As I made my way back through the busy courtyard, I entered the dormitory and climbed the stairs to my level.

Many of the boarders were gathered in the communal room, playing with the various different games that were set up, from pool to table tennis. However, I opted to go straight to my room, I unlocked the door and walked into my quiet oasis. I placed my bag on the ground before taking a seat on my bed.

As I looked at the ground, I noticed that there was quite a bit of dust.

Ah, I haven't cleaned my floor in a while.

Putting the novel back down, I made my way toward the cleaning room. There was a specific room in the dorms where you could go at any time to borrow cleaning supplies. It was only a few rooms down from where I lived. As I walked through the hallway, I was suddenly greeted by Kinoshita, who had just opened her door.

"O-oh, hi, Mizuhara."

"Hey Kinoshita."

"So, what are you doing?"

"I'm just going to grab some cleaning supplies."

"Ah, same here!"

The two of us made our way to the cleaning room.

"Did you spill something?" she asked as I grabbed a mop from the corner.

"I just wanted to clean my floor."

"Oh, I'm here because there's some mould in my bathroom."

As I grabbed the equipment I needed, I began to leave the room.

"So, Mizuhara, are you doing anything this afternoon?"

"I have some homework."

I didn't, actually, but I wanted some alone time.

"Ah, that's all good then," she responded.

With that, we returned to our respective dorms, and I started to mop my floor. A few minutes later, I finished with the equipment and returned it to the storage room. 𝑓𝐫𝑒e𝒘𝚎𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝐞𝑙.co𝑚

After that, I took a seat on my bed once again and began reading the novel I borrowed.

'In the face of pain, there are no heroes.'

That was something that I remember from my time back in the Ideal Human Project.

After a few hours of reading, I decided to take a break and lay down on my bed.

It was starting to get pretty late at night.

I decided that it was about time to make some dinner. I made my way over to my fridge and looked through the contents.

I guess I'll make some salad with chicken.

I began preparing the ingredients and chopping up the vegetables.

A few moments later, I heard a knock at the door. I placed my knife down and walked over to the entrance to see who was there. As I opened the door, I saw Kinoshita with a bowl of food.

"Hey, I made some risotto, but my roommate is eating out, so I have a little bit extra. Would you like some?"

I looked at the risotto, and for the most part, it looked pretty well made. I wasn't really into risotto generally, but since she was here, I decided to accept it.

"Sure."

She passed the bowl over to me, and I brought it into my room.

When I looked back over, it seemed that she was still standing at my doorway.

"Um, do you want to come in?" I asked.

She took off her shoes and made her way into my room.

"I was making some salad and chicken just then, so the ingredients are still on the bench."

"Ah, I didn't realise you were also cooking." She responded.

"It's fine. I'll leave the ingredients for tomorrow."

I placed the risotto on my table and grabbed a spoon.

"So, what were you up to tonight?" she asked.

"I was just reading."

"Oh, what book are you reading?"'

"1948."

"I've heard of that. It's by George Orwell, isn't it?"

"Yeah."

"I was never really too interested in those types of books."

A few minutes later, I managed to finish all of the risotto.

"Are you done?" she asked.

"Yeah."

She took the bowl and began making her way out of my room. It was quite late anyways, and tomorrow was also a school night.

"I hope you liked the food~"

"It was good."

As she left, I lay down on my bed once again.
