I sigh, rolling over in my bed, the sun shining in my eyes. "Go back dowwwn. I'm trying to sleep. You shiny ball of light." I mutter. After a couple moments of trying to ignore the bright thing, I give up and roll out of bed. When my body thumps on the ground, I groan and just roll across the floor to my dresser. When I reach it, I just lay on my stomach, my muscles limp and my face smashed into the floor.

After a bit, I sigh and stand up, the sudden change of stance giving me a head rush, black spots splotching across my vision until I get used to it. I open my drawers, taking out some random clothes and changing in to them. I just leave my hair as is and put on a hoodie before heading out of my room. I go to the kitchen to start on breakfast, the sun making the room bright and welcoming.

I take some eggs from the fridge and some sausage. I put out a pan and leave it on the burner so it can warm up. Then, I crack some eggs into a bowl, add some cinnamon, vanilla, milk, and some brown sugar. I take a piece of bread, dip it in the mix, and plop it in the pan. I get another pan that I use to cook the bacon in and once I'm done cooking multiple pieces of french toast, I cook some eggs in that pan.

When I divide the food on two plates, I head into the living room to see Sensei sleeping on the couch, buried under blankets. I walk to the front of the couch, grab the warm covers, and yank them off of him.

"Goodmorning, Sensei! It's the day after my birthday and the weekend! Yayyyy." I do the jazz hands when he cracks open an eye.

The man sighs and closes his eyes again. "It's the weekend. Let me sleep."

I put my hands on my hips. "I made you breakfast. It's already 11 o'clock. Get up. Or, I could always invite Ms. Joke over. I know her number because whe gave it to me to give to you."

I groan before sitting up. "Whatever. Are you going somewhere today?"

I chuckle. "What? Why do you think that?"

He raises an eyebrow at me. "You cooked me breakfast, woke me up in a polite manner besides ripping off the blankets, and you're even up right now. And I know for a fact that you sleep in every weekend. Just like your mother. So... What do you want?"

I pause, blinking at him. "Wow, Sensei, you could be a detective."

He stands up and heads to the kitchen. "Whatever. What do you want, Natsumi?"

I chuckle and follow after him. "Well, I sorta made plans with someone, and we just wanna go to the mall. I promise that's the only place I'm gonna go."

"No." He says.

"What? Whyyyy?" I ask.

"You're grounded. Being grounded means no leaving the house unless you have to." He replies.

I groan as I sit down. "But I made you breakfast. And if I leave, you can take as much naps as you want. Plus, I'll bring you back a cake."

He sighs and looks at me. "Make sure it has some strawberries on it."

I smile. "Yay! Thanks, Sensei!" He doesn't reply and just begins eating instead.

"Yeah, I know, Sensei." I reply, slipping on my shoes.

"And, you have to be back by 9 o'clock." He adds.

I roll my eye. "Okay."

"No sex ple-"

"SENSEI I GET IT, I'M LEAVING NOW, BYE!!!" I exclaim, slamming the door. I sigh when I'm outside. "Why would he tell me that? Sex is something I won't do for a wh-"
