It was a gloomy day at Cherryton Academy. Dark clouds hung low in the sky, and the atmosphere inside the school mirrored the weather outside. The final tests were fast approaching, looming over the students like an unavoidable storm. These exams would not only determine their standing at Cherryton but also play a critical role in shaping their college applications and, ultimately, their futures.

The tension was palpable in the air. Everyone was either frantically cramming facts into their heads or nervously flipping through notebooks. The library had been packed for days, and study groups had taken over every corner of the school. Even the usually laid-back students were burning the midnight oil, determined to give it their best shot.

Juno sat in her biology class, the day before the exams. She was one of the few students who still gave the teacher her full attention during lectures. While others were preoccupied with their own study materials or quietly chatting amongst themselves, Juno diligently took notes, her pen moving swiftly across her notebook.

But something—or rather, someone—caught her attention. Sitting next to her, you were completely disengaged. Head resting on your arms, you were fast asleep amid the chaos of last-minute preparation. Juno’s sharp blue eyes flicked to you, her expression tightening. She couldn’t believe it. With so much at stake, how could anyone be so careless?

Without hesitation, she kicked the leg of your desk with enough force to jolt you awake. The loud thud echoed in the room, drawing a few curious glances from nearby students before they returned to their distractions. You blinked groggily, barely processing what had just happened.

Juno: "Hey! Aren’t you going to study for our exams?"
