BEEP BEEP, BEEP BEEP!
"Ugh," I moan as I reach over and smack the alarm clock off my nightstand, giving it a rude awakening of its own. I sit up lazily, rub my eyes and glance at the calendar hanging on the wall. Monday.
"Well damn it," I mutter. I get out of bed, grab my orange robe and put it on as I sluggishly drag my feet to the bathroom.
Upon seeing the mirror, I am met with the horrible scene that is me in the mornings. Short yellow hair sticking up at odd angles, eyes crusted over with sleep and a thin line of drool at the corner of my mouth. Beautiful. I turn on the water and begin washing my face when my brother walks in from the opposite door.
"Morning Rin!" he chirps as he grabs a towel and heads for the shower in the back of the bathroom. My brother, Len, and I have our own rooms that are connected by a bathroom in the middle. This makes it so I have to see his cheery face every single morning. Don't get me wrong, I love my brother and all, but I am in no way a 'morning person' and seeing him all super peppy in the mornings just makes me more grumpy.
I mumble a good morning back to him and finish up my routine; face, teeth, hair, clothes then make-up. I give myself a quick once-over and decide I'm presentable enough to go downstairs for breakfast.
I say hello to my mother and pour myself a bowl of cereal. Just as I finish up and start packing my lunch, Len comes down, smiling like always. He greets our mother, makes his own lunch and grabs a banana to eat on his way to school. He turns to me,
"Let's get going!" he says brightly and I nod to acknowledge him as I grab my bag and follow him out the door.
A light, warm breeze greets us as we start our walk to school. Len smiles as he breathes in the early summer air. "Isn't it nice?" he asks dreamily. "Sure," I answer casually, not really knowing what could be so good about another Monday morning.
So, what do you think? I know it's short but I'm really excited for this story. I hope you guys enjoyed it!
