Kaime groaned as the phone rang in her room, the usual wake up call.
Thoroughly regretting having to go to school, she got out from her warm
covers, staggered until her eyes focused again, then picked up the phone.
"Hello. I'll be down soon. Bye," She said, hanging up the phone again. She didn't even bother to listen to her mother anymore. She stretched her arms above her and yawned widely. She hated the color of the carpet in her room. What a disgusting color. What was it? Forest green. For a car sure but a carpet?! She shook the thoughts from her head, reminding herself it wasn't her that picked out the color, and headed downstairs.
Homework. Bah Humbug! Kaime rubbed her eyes and glaced at the clock. 6:05. Drat. She made her way to the dining room and plopped heavily into one of the chairs, pulling her math book toward her and opening it, sighing. As she started to work, Lilli, the pretty much mother figure of the home, walked into the kitchen. It wasn't unusual for Lilli to be up earlier. She always was. Even on vacation. She was slightly plump with thick rimmed glasses and short curly black grey hair. Lilli leaned on the counter of the kitchen, studying Kaime for a moment.
"What would you like for breakfast? We have cinnamon rolls and cresants," asked Lilli.
"Umm....I'm in the mood for...cinnamon rolls. And an orange soda if you would be so kind," Kaime replied in a monotone voice stating she didn't really care.
Lilli nodded and wandered away as Kaime returned to her work. It was awhile before Kaime finished, but that was fine. She set her math book aside and left her soda and half eaten cinnamon roll where they were and went up stairs to dress, picking out her favorite outfit to wear. For the next half hour or so she widled away her time in front of the TV,watching those stupid addicting morning cartoons. She picked up the phone as it rung again.
"Time to come downstairs!" Said her mothers voice.
"K. I'll be there in a sec," and with that she grabbed her shoes, peeked at the clock, and ran downstairs.
It was 8:00 when she had finally made it into the car and she was still tying her shoes. School started at 8:10 and it took 5 minutes until she her mom could get at a place where she could be let off. Kaime ran into the school's breezeway, messenger backpack swinging from her shoulder, as she shifted through the mass of other students. Right on time.
