76 A Typical Day 1 (1/2)

I followed Luke down the stairs as he opened our textbooks that likely came from his suitcase on the dining room table.

Even my parents didn't seem to be awake at this time since their shifts at work usually started at nine a.m.

It was six thirty and I usually ate breakfast before studying. I tugged on Luke's cardigan to tell him that I was too hungry to start studying.

I was glad that I ate dinner before coming to my parent's house as I was only able to eat half a plate of my mom's cooking before going to my room when I got upset.

Luke handed me the familiar chocolate bar. I refused it as I gave it to him back.

”My mom is going to cook us breakfast anyways, can't we start studying after we eat breakfast?” I started my usual whining to Luke in the morning.

It was unfortunate that mom came down the stairs at that moment.

She rubbed her eyes as if she was trying to confirm what she was seeing was real.

My mom didn't know that I normally dressed this way in the first district and in other districts when I went on missions.

I looked too polished to be just eating breakfast in the morning. My hair looked finely arranged and my outfit screamed that I should be eating at a luxurious restaurant for breakfast at this time.

I went up to my mom and complained, ”I'm hungry but Luke is making me study with a plain chocolate bar.”

My mom finally shifted her glance from me to Luke who looked equally dazzling in the morning.

My mom apologized to us as she hurried to set the table as she had her usual dishes for breakfast that were already made in the fridge.

Before I could tell Luke to put the textbooks away, they were already placed on the living room table instead.

We quickly began to eat breakfast while dad had yet to come down.

When dad finally came down, he was surprised to already see Luke and I to be fully dressed and ready to go.

”Luke woke me up at six a.m. even though we're not in school today,” I complained to my parents.

”What time does he usually wake you up?” My dad asked as my mom was quickly getting ready for work.

”Five-thirty. Since our classes usually start at seven a.m.,” I suddenly felt glad that I had a extra thirty minutes of sleep today.
