Remember Yun's first day drabble? Here's the other side to it.

First Day: Limone

She rolled over sleepily in her bed, clutching at the stuffed caterpillar with the big grin on its face. It was her favorite thing to sleep with, and was much like a security blanket to her. The sunlight streamed through the windows. She felt the bed move, and a hand gently shake her.

"Come on Limone. It's time to get up. You're going to school today, remember? You were so smart that they let you start early."

Limone squeezed her eyes shut tightly, hoping that it would convince her mother that she was still asleep and hadn't heard her. Her tactic failed as she felt herself picked up and sat on her mother's lap.

"You can't fool me, Limone. You're too silly." Her mother's voice became more firm. "Let's get you dressed and ready for school. I don't want you being late."

It wasn't long before Limone found herself waiting at the front door, a bookbag on her back. Her mother had packed it with things she might need, such as paper, pencils, flashcards, and more. Limone had no idea why her mother acted this way. She was much too young to understand the complexities or how smart she truly was. However, she was craving something.

Her mother had gone off to retrieve some piece of paper. Limone took this as her chance to raid the kitchen. Quickly, she entered the room, seeking out the snack cabinet. One glance inside told her that the cabinet had recently been restocked. With practiced ease, she opened her bag and began putting treats inside- bags of chips, chocolate covered candy sticks, candy bars, and more. It was more than enough to get her through. She could hear her mother's footsteps in the distance so she quickly ended her operation. By the time her mother returned, she was once more waiting patiently by the door.

"Now we're all set, Limone," remarked her mother as she opened the front door. Limone only nodded.

All the way to school she wished that she could get one of her snacks out of her bag. If she did though, her mother might notice and then take away all the other snacks too. She fought the urge, gripping her mother's hand tightly.

"Don't grip so hard, dear. It's not very polite."

Limone loosened her grip, still trying to fight the craving. She could picture the bags of chips and the candy, savoring each bite of the precious snacks. They were almost to school. She could wait just a bit longer.

Once Limone's mother left, Limone went straight for her bag. She pulled out the snack on top, which happened to be a bag of potato chips. She made quick work of opening the bag, having learned long ago the correct trick to get at the snack inside. She popped a chip into her mouth, savoring the taste as she wandered into the classroom.

There weren't very many girls in the classroom just yet, but she did see the girl in the library center. She walked over to see what the girl was doing, standing off to the left. The girl appeared to be reading, and Limone just wanted to watch, so she very quietly ate the chips.

The girl eventually noticed her, and asked strange questions. She seemed to think it was weird that Limone was eating chips in the morning. Limone saw nothing wrong with this; she actually did it quite often at home. The other girl finally introduced herself as Yun, and Limone returned the gesture, nervous now.

Limone heard the teacher call for them to go sit on the rug. Yun began to walk away, but stopped when she saw that Limone didn't follow her. Limone wasn't sure she wanted to go join the rest of the class just yet. However, Yun came back and took her hand, wanting to go to the rug together. Limone followed her, smiling to herself. Yun was so nice. Maybe kindergarten wouldn't be so bad. Perhaps there would be more sweets to eat!
