Soon after the first cookie was finished, Suki took another one and went upstairs to her bedroom so she could change out of her uniform. When Suki opened the door, a pair of yellow eyes stared at her intently.
"Hello, Hoshiko." Suki said, walking over to the black cat on her bed. Suki sat on the bed next to Hoshiko and scratched the star shaped spot on the back of her ear. Hoshiko purred with delight. Suki then broke a piece of the cookie and gave it to Hoshiko.
"Don't tell mom." Suki said jokingly as she walked to her closet. While Suki found something to wear, Hoshiko leapt off of the bed and onto the floor, causing the bell on her collar to jingle. Suki, hearing Hoshiko's collar, peered out of the closet.
"Hoshi?" Suki said, calling out for Hoshiko. She looked around her room to see that Hoshiko was no longer in her room.
"Oh, no." Suki said out loud. Hoshiko tended to get into all kinds of trouble whenever she was able to escape from Suki's room. Suki quickly threw a pair of sweatpants, left the school's shirt on, and ran down the stairs in hopes of stopping Hosiko before she got into anything. Suki heard Hoshiko's collar jingle in the kitchen. Suki entered the kitchen and saw Hoshiko on cookie plate with cookie crumbs and chocolate chips in her fur.
"Hoshiko!" Suki shouted as she lifted Hoshiko off the plate, "those cookies were mine! What do you have to say for yourself?" Suki held Hoshiko up to her face and glared at the cat. Hoshiko replied by burping. Her breath smelt like cookies. Suki scowled at Hoshiko before carrying the cat up to her room. Suki threw Hoshiko into her room and slammed the door behind her so Hoshiko could not escape.
As Suki walked away, she heard Hoshiko clawing and mewing at the door.
"That's what you get for eating my cookies." Suki said.
Suki was walking down the steps when she heard her mother's voice.
"Suki? Where are you? I hope you're not waiting for me at the school!" her mother yelled as she walked around the house.
"I'm right here, mom." Suki said when she reached the bottom of the stairs. Her mother ran over to her and gave her a big hug.
"Suki! I missed you so much today," her mother said, squeezing Suki tighter, "how was your day? Good? Bad? Tell me everything!"
"Today was…good." Suki said, breaking away from the hug. Suki's mother did not believe her.
"It doesn't sound like it was good." Her mother said, crossing her arms.
"Okay, it wasn't good, but it was…interesting."
"Interesting? How?" Her mother asked, now very interested in Suki's first day at Konoha Academy.
"Well," Suki started, "the school is pretty crazy. I mean, some of the things that happened today made me think I was in a ridiculous story!" (herp a derp =w=). Suki then walked off to the kitchen to find something else to eat.
"That's too bad." her mother said as she followed Suki to the kitchen. Suki's mother paused as she thought of something else to say.
"Did you meet any cute boys?" Her mother asked curiously. Suki spun around immediately after her mother said that.
"Mom! Don't say that!" Suki shouted.
"Is it me, or are you turning red?" her mother said. Suki looked away, embarrassed. Suki's mother walked up to her and patted her on the shoulder.
"I'll leave you alone," her mother said, amused by her daughter's response, "I'm going to change out of my gym clothes and then I need to get to work at my new project. I'll probably be in my room for the rest of the night. Can you make dinner?"
"I can cook. Don't worry about me." Suki said.
"Okay. If you need anything, just knock." Her mother said before retreating to her room. Suki watched her mother skip happily up the stairs.
"Maybe I'll make cookies for her tomorrow." Suki said before going to start her homework.
When Suki finished her homework, she rummaged around for something that could pass off as dinner. After searching through the whole kitchen, she finally found some vegetables in the refrigerator.
"I guess we're having stir-fry tonight." Suki said while looking for a wok to put the vegetables in. Suki defrosted the vegetables and tossed them into the wok. She poured some teriyaki over it and mixed it all together. While the vegetables sat in the wok, she cooked some rice for it.
When it was all done, she put the vegetables over the rice in two separate bowls and went upstairs to her mother's room. She went to her mother's room and knocked on the door.
"Come in." her mother said from behind the door. Suki came into the room and presented the meal.
"Dinner is served." Suki said as she placed a bowl next to her mother. Suki sat next to her mother on the bed and looked at the display on her mother's laptop. There were numerous pictures displayed, showing the options for this fall's fashion show.
"Hey, mom," Suki asked, taking a bite of the stir fry, "when will they put your designs down the runway?" Her mother sighed and stared at the screen.
"Never," she said, "my job is to decide what runway looks make it into the magazines."
"But you're an amazing designer!" Suki said. Her mother sighed again and smiled.
"Ever since your loser of a father left, I've had to stop designing for fun and keep a steady job that provides enough money for the both of us, and that's what I'm doing." Her mother said. Suki pouted.
"Who knows," her mother said, trying to cheer Suki up, "maybe if I stay in this business long enough, I'll be able to put my clothes in the magazine!"
"That would be really cool," Suki said, "to think my mom could be a world renowned fashion designer!"
"That does sound pretty nice," her mother said, "Hey, how about this? I design and you could take the pictures! We could make our own business!"
They both smiled and talked on and on about their dream fashion line until Suki's mother's cell phone rang. She picked it up to see that the name 'slave driver' was displayed on the screen.
"Looks like my boss wants to have a word with me." She said. Her tone was far from enthusiastic. Suki nodded and left the room.
"Good night." Suki said as she went to shut the door. Her mother mouthed out 'good night' to her before she answered the phone. Suki went to her room and sat on her bed. She looked at her clock. The digital numbers said that it was 9:40. Although it was early, Suki went to bed anyway. She decided that she would need as much sleep as possible to survive another day at the Konoha Academy.
