Chapter 11: Couldn't sleep
As Dante entered Azalea's room the in the morning to call her for breakfast, his expression shifted from a cheerful greeting to one of shock and concern. There, sitting on the edge of her bed, was Azalea, her usually bright eyes dulled by dark circles beneath them, a clear indication of her sleepless night.

๐๐ป๐ข๐ญ๐ฆ๐ข ๐๐ฅ๐ถ๐ข๐ณ๐ฅ๐ฐ(๐๐๐๐๐)

๐๐ข๐ฏ๐ต๐ฆ ๐๐ฅ๐ถ๐ข๐ณ๐ฅ๐ฐ
Well, you look like you could use some rest. Maybe you should take it easy today. *pat her head*
๐๐ป๐ข๐ญ๐ฆ๐ข ๐๐ฅ๐ถ๐ข๐ณ๐ฅ๐ฐ(๐๐๐๐๐)
*hummed with a slight smile*
After a refreshing shower and a hearty breakfast, Azalea felt slightly more energized despite the lingering fatigue from her sleepless night.
Azalea bid her family a goodbye before setting off determined to push through the day, she grabbed her backpack and headed out of the house, her bicycle waiting for her just outside.
With a slight twinge of body pain, she mounted her bicycle and set off towards school. The gentle rhythm of pedaling helped to soothe her muscles, and the cool morning breeze lifted her spirits as she navigated the familiar streets of her neighborhood.
As she rode, Azalea couldn't help but feel a sense of independence and freedom wash over her. Despite the challenges she faced, she knew that she was capable of facing them head-on, one pedal at a time.
Arriving at school, Azalea parked her bicycle and made her way to her first class, determined to tackle the day with determination and resilience. Though the road ahead might be filled with obstacles, she knew that with her unwavering determination and the support of her loved ones, she would overcome them all.
After parking her bicycle, Azalea made her way into the bustling school premises, greeted by the familiar sights and sounds of students chatting and laughing in the morning sun. With a smile, she walked towards her group of friends, feeling a sense of camaraderie wash over her as she joined them.

As the bell rang, signaling the start of classes, the pupils made their way to their respective classrooms. The warm weather outside seemed to have a soporific effect on the students, making it difficult for them to stay focused during the lectures.
๐๐ป๐ข๐ญ๐ฆ๐ข ๐๐ฅ๐ถ๐ข๐ณ๐ฅ๐ฐ(๐๐๐๐๐)

*Takes the bottle*
Azalea took a slow, cautious sip of the tea, savoring its refreshing flavor as it danced across her tongue. With a contented sigh, she passed the bottle over to Ophelia, who eagerly accepted it with a grateful smile.
๐๐โ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ก๐๐๐๐โ

๐๐โ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ก๐๐๐๐โ
*Closes her eyes as a satisfied sigh left her lips*
๐๐โ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ก๐๐๐๐โ

As the boring lectures dragged on, the warm, drowsy weather seemed to intensify, making it even harder for the students to fight the urge to nod off. Despite their best efforts, some students found themselves struggling to stay awake, their eyelids growing heavier with each passing minutes.
As the minutes ticked by agonizingly slow, the students in the classroom found themselves eagerly anticipating the sound of the bell that would signal the end of their tedious lectures. Each passing second felt like an eternity as they shifted restlessly in their seats, their minds wandering to thoughts of freedom and relief.
Ophelia glanced at the clock, willing the hands to move faster as she counted down the moments until the bell would finally ring. Beside her, her classmates exchanged tired glances and stifled yawns, their collective anticipation palpable in the stifling air of the classroom.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the long-awaited sound of the bell echoed through the corridors, signaling the end of the period. With a collective sigh of relief, the students sprang to their feet, eager to escape the confines of the classroom and enjoy the fleeting moments of freedom before the next lecture began.
