He always hated Mondays... The worst day of the week for him. Never get to sleep in and school was not any better. And here it was: Monday...

alarm clock blaring

"Beh? What time is it anyway? ... 6:45? Psh, I have like an hour till school..." He thought to himself out loud and fell back asleep.

"LAZY ASS! GET UP!" A voice shouts as his face is doused with icy water.

"Ptoui! glub" As he gasps for air and wipe my face with his blanket. "What the heck! I'm not supposed to wake up yet! It's not fair!"

"Have you even looked at you clock, mister?" She points to the digital clock which has somehow mysteriously jumped to 7:2... something. He was to tired to look. That and he still have water in his eyes...

"Did you have to use the glass of water?" He moans as he again try to wipe the water from his eyes.

"Well, I called you around five minutes ago, but you didn't make a peep." She says in a not as harsh tone.

"Is there breakfast, Airi?" He says trying to change the subject.

She nods blissfully. "I made you waffles and I just bought some syrup too."

He looks worried and stops wiping his face for a few moments. "YOU made the waffles yourself?"

Her facial tone straightens and changes to that of slight disgust, "I didn't MAKE them, Kuruo... They're the packaged kind..."

He gives a slight smirk, "Then I won't die if I eat them?"

She tosses the rest of the glass of water on him and jokes, "Aw, just get dressed and get your breakfast before school ya lazy little moocher." Then she closes his door as she exits.

Kuruo then began to get dressed. First of all, he had to change out of his soaked t-shirt. His aunt Airi never was one to lose her temper at him, but like any person, she could only be pushed so far. But he didn't mind at all because she was good to him. He could always count on her having food for him and his sister and she always managed to pay the bills. No matter what happened, he felt like she'd always be there for him...
