BEEP. BEEP. BEEEEEP.

Nekuya groaned and shifted her face out of the pillow to glance at the deafening alarm clock in distaste. The clock read "7:09" in bright-red letters. "Time to wake up...." she told herself, pulling the leaf-patterned blanket off of her legs and jumping out of bed. Shuffling her feet towards the mirror sitting atop the dresser, she grasped a brush that was sitting nearby. As usual, she didn't spend much time on her hair- just a quick combing and a dab of leave-in conditioner, and out the door she went.

She held her sketchbook in her hand as she walked down the corridors, hoping to run into the kitchen......or a vending machine. Pulling a small, blue pencil from behind her ears, she pushed the lead against the clean paper and began to draw. Of course, she wasn't looking where she was going, so she ran straight into a young boy in the hall, listening to music. Snapping her head up, finally paying attention, she gasped and said "Oh, I'm so sorry!"
