Soon the sleeping bags for each were given to us. After what happened today I really felt like I needed rest, although I did sleep or lose unconsciousness it didn't feel like taking rest more like I was forced, and I don't want that. I want a natural way of resting.
And taking that mindset I prepared to sleep.
Look this should have been done quietly but apparently few have some disturbing opinions that lead to a quarrel between a certain few.
"Hey you," it was the first time Alica has called me ever since I have been here.
"Me…?" just confirming.
"Yes you," she said, "Give me that sleeping bag."
Isn't her tone for asking something on the wrong track?
"Come again?"
"I want to see if that one is more comfortable," she said.
Wait, is that the only reason? Who cares about something like this? Just take whichever gets in your hand, it's not like you have to spend multiple days here in these bags. It's just one night.
"It's the same," I replied.
"Just give me that. I will make sure of myself," she ordered.
"Here," I handed it over since I am not looking to get into trouble over something like this.
"Yes, this one is more comfortable. Here take this one," she threw hers in my direction.
I don't care which one I get but she didn't even check it from inside to check whether it's more comfortable. Isn't that a bit odd?
"Alright lights off," the Principal came and switched down the lights.
With no objections, everyone quietly put themselves onto the sleeping bags.
I did the same and occupied the corner place, the same place I was sitting on earlier.
"At last," I muttered to myself.
"Hey, are we really going to sleep?" Roy asked.
And there goes my peaceful sleep.
No matter what, whenever Roy opened up his mouth nothing good ever came from it.
"Why? Do you want something you would like to do?" Peter asked.
"Not exactly but shouldn't we at least do something."
For a minute silence spread across the room but soon everyone agreed to do something fun.
Well of course I wasn't. I just wanted to sleep.
"So that one day~~"
While disturbing my sleep they continued their conversation and I couldn't wink because of that.
I turned around thinking the voice might decrease.
"Huh?"
As I turned around I felt a little breeze around my lower region.
What was that?
I stretched out my leg and saw a hole right next to my knee region.
That's why she exchanged it.
"Hey, Alice, did you know about this…?" I asked her while showing the hole.
"W-What are you talking about? It wasn't there earlier. You must have done it," she blamed it on me.
And if that wasn't enough, "Yes he must have done that. Wait for the Principal. It's going to be fun," he added in his comment.
"Are you sure you want to do it like this? Just admit it you did and that's the reason you exchanged it from me," I politely said.
"Huh? Aren't you blaming Alice for your mistake? You are the worst," Emma came up to support Alice.
"H-Hey guys, I don't think Allen would lie like this," Lily intervened in between.
"So, is Alice lying?" Emma seems enraged, "Lily, we have known each other for more than two years and you are taking his side?"
"W-What? I wasn't taking anyone's side," Lily said desperately trying to tell them the truth.
I guess nothing good ever comes out of getting involved with these people. Ever.
"Alright, I will talk to the Principal about this right now," I said as I stood up.
"It's not my fault so do whatever you want," Alice said haughtily.
"I didn't even ask you why are you replying?" I said and left the room.

I returned to the room after talking with the Principal.
"What happened? Did you get scolded for tearing it?" Alice was the first one to speak.
"What happened Allen?" Lily asked.
I looked around the room and saw Selene's worried look, Peter's confused look, and Roy's delighted look.
"Apparently the Principal asked me to face consequences for what I did," I said.
"Really?!" Lily was taken aback.
"Yeah, good to hear that." Roy seemed pretty delighted after hearing that, "You should have just kept quiet."
"What are the consequences?" Alice asked me.
Unlike Roy, she was hiding her delighted face but she didn't hide it in her eyes. In her eyes, I could see clearly how funny it was for her. But don't worry I will drown you in that happiness soon enough.
"Well…" I built a moment.
"So… what is it? Tell us," Emma asked me as she placed her hand on Alice.
"A-Allen…" Lily and Selene both asked me with concern.
I walked up to my belongings and pulled them, every eyeball in the room was aimed at me.
"I will be going to sleep in the room beside this," I said.
"Please tell me, is it a storage room," Roy asked in excitement.
I wonder how comfortable saying all that after what happened that day? Has he already forgotten about that?
"Alice, I feel sorry for you to be honest," I said.
"Huh? What are you saying?" she asked me with confusion clearly showing on her face.
Her delighted feeling up till now seems to be drowning, as I thought.
"Yeah, what do you mean by that?" Roy asked.
"Alice should have used this sleeping bag," I said, "I will be moving in the room beside this which is apparently a bedroom," I said while everyone's reaction was like-
'W-W-W-W-Whaaaatttt!'
I showed them a key, the key shining across the room.
With no further time wasted I left the room and didn't look back.

Soon I tried searching for the Principal and saw her in the kitchen sitting all alone under the dim lamp glowing.
"What do you want?" she asked me even before I entered the school.
"It's tearing up," I said.
"Oh, so you got this one?" she said with a slight smile at the corner of her lips.
"What do you mean?" I asked in confusion.
What does she mean by 'got this one'?
"Well, I did say that one of you will get to sleep on the bed-"
"But you said that no one gets to sleep in bed now?" I asked.
"I don't go back on my words and while doing that I changed the process a little," she said, "Well I handed this specific sleeping bag to Alice because she scored the highest marks and in order to keep my word I handed her this bag. So, she would come to me and complain about this and I will give her the bed as a way to solve the problem."
That was something I wasn't expecting in the least bit.
"Anyway, now that you have the bag I will have to give it to you. But to make sure, you didn't steal this, right?"
Steal?
"Are you kidding me? She was the one who gave me this in the first place and blamed me for tearing it up," I said.
"Oh, I guess she tried to be over smart in the process. Alright then, bring up your belongings and I take the room next to theirs. Everything is prepared there," she said as she handed me the keys to the room.
"Alright," I said.
…
I stepped into the room and collided with objects that seemed vaguely like a box or that's what I assumed. Eventually, my eyes settled down a bit and I discovered the lights.
*Bright*
Ow…
A sudden bright blinding light fell upon my eyes. I rubbed them for a couple of minutes and soon I realized I was standing just below the light bulb.
"Mention it earlier," I mumbled to myself.
"What's this…?"
{Light Bulb up Ahead. It might surprise you.}
Is this supposed to be a prank? If I can't see what's right in front of me how am I supposed to read it before lighting on the lights?
Anyway, I was too exhausted so I threw my bag at one corner of the bed and the other corner for myself.
I didn't even care to look around the room and before I realized I fell asleep.
And that's how I got a full bed for myself.
…
"Allen it's morning you need to get up," I heard a soft voice near my ear and I felt something warm blowing on my other ear.
And something soft, plump pressing against me from both sides. What is it? It was soft just for a pillow.
"Wake up or I might do something naughty," while my upper body felt warmer than usual I heard some chuckling near me.
*Eyes Open*
"Oh, you woke up~~" the first thing I saw was two ladies lying next to me with an evil smile on their faces.
Who are they?
"Hm?" I moved a little and I felt the blanket rubbing against my bare skin.
To see what it was, I looked under and saw myself without clothes.
Wait, why am I naked? When did I strip?
