"Shut up. It's to early to get up." A voice mumbled from beneath the blue quilted blanket.

The alarm clocked went off again, as if ignoring her comment. Reluctantly, a hand emerged from the blanket and reached for the alarm clock. She brought it beneath the cover to check the time. It was 7:30. Time for her to get up and get ready for the day. She placed the alarm clock back to its original position, and threw open the blanket.
She sat up sleepily and stretched out both her arms, yawning. Slowly, she slipped one leg over the bed, and placed them in the warm, white bunny slippers beside her bed. She grabbed her school uniform and brought it with her into the bathroom. She placed it beside the door on the counter with her towels, and pilled off her sleeping clothes.
She slides open the door to the shower and turned the water on warm. She stood there for awhile simply letting the warm water splashed against her soft skin. She then unbraided long silky raven hair that fell past her waist. It was relaxing just to stand there, but then she knew that if she didn't hurry up she would be late. After washing her hair and the soap off her body she stepped out of the shower. She took a towel lying on the counter, and wrapped around her small body. Quickly, drying herself off, she put on her school uniform, brushed her hair, and braided her hair into a low braid in the back. She didn't even bother to look in the mirror to check to see if everything was in place, but she simple closed the bathroom door behind as she stepped out.
She was never the type of girl that spends countless hours making herself look good. She has never worn make-up or wore heavy scented perfume like the other girls at her school. Her mother died before she was old enough to learn any of that stuff, but frankly she doesn't mind. She was never bother about the way she looks not that she is extremely beautiful or anything, but she never seems to care. To here there be more important things she has to do other then make herself look pretty for other people.
Gathering her belongs and books; she stepped out of her room. Walked down the hall and into the old Japanese traditional style mixed with modern style living room. Sitting on the couch was her grandfather.
"Jiya, I'm going to school to now. I'll stop by the restaurant to help out later." Misao informed him.
"Ah! My angle Misao!" Her grandfather greeted as he crossed the room to give her a tight bear hug. Misao gasped as the air was crushed out of her body. Jiya's hug was cutting off her air circulation.
"Jiiiyaaa!" Misao breathed. Jiya let go of Misao looked down at her with a wide smile.
"Have a good day Misao." Jiya said as he walked to the door. Misao putted on her shoes and headed for the bus stop. Just as she was about five feet away from the house she shouted.
"Oh yeah! Jiya I better not see you chasing after girls at the restaurant! You're going to scared away all our customers!"
"Oh I would never Misao-chan!" Jiya replied with his fingers crossed behind his back.
Misao knew too well that he had his fingers crossed behind his back. She let out a small smile as she reached the bus stopped and boarded the bus. Her family has for generation owned the restaurant called The Aoiya, and Misao helped out there whenever she can. That is if she doesn't have work or school to deal with. She's been helping out at the restaurant daily now for the last two years because business wasn't doing so well, and they need all the help they could get. Misao's job was originally for her to save money for college, but since they need the money to pay the bills, she ended up saving only a small amount of money for college. The rest of the money went to the restaurant and Jiya.
It was pretty hard to keep up with school, her job, and helping out at the Aoiya, but she managed it to do. She knew that the restaurant meant a lot to her grandfather that's why she's doing everything she can to help him out. After her parents passed away she went and lived with her grandfather. It has been the two of them for the longest time that she could remember.

The bus came to a stop, and Misao got off. She was near to her school now, and she would make it in time if she ran fast enough. She took a look at her watch and saw that she got 10 more minutes before school actually started.
"All right! Let's do this." Misao said and took off running towards her distention.
"Shut up. It's to early to get up." A voice mumbled from beneath the blue quilted blanket.
