"Anu, we're going to be late!" I woke up to my little sister hitting me with a pillow, sometimes I forget how annoying she is. "Good morning to you too Ishika." I groggily sat up, clumsily looking for my phone, I vaguely remembered throwing it at the foot of my bed the night before. Maybe it would still be there.

Before I could check, Ishi handed it to me "Mom wants you downstairs in ten or you're walking". That snapped me into motion, I scrambled off the bed, running to the bathroom, and getting dressed in record time. 

"ANANYA, YOU HAVE TWO MINS LEFT BEFORE WE LEAVE." "Aa gayi,  ek second I called, jamming my shoes on in a hurry.  I ran down the stairs, running straight into "Chotu, I'm late. I'll play with you later." I pet the beagle on his head before walking towards my mum. 

"Took you long enough." Ishi rolled her eyes. "It's too early to be bitter about life child." I yawned, grabbing the pancakes that were perched on the counter.

"早上好" Dad kissed the top of my head, making me smile.  I usually missed him in the morning, unlike him, I don't wake up at the asscrack of dawn.

"早上好爸爸,多少公里"  Dad loves running, guess I got that from him." Ten. Now hurry up, or your mother will make you walk."He gave me a fond smile before taking a swig from his bottle. "Jaldi khao, humko late ho raha hai." Mum called from the hall as if to prove his point. I shoveled the food into my mouth before grabbing my bag. 

I hugged my dad and ran off, "Chalo, already late ho gayi ho." My mom rolled her eyes and got in the car. I got into the passenger seat as my sister took the back seat.

"Chalo, have fun chotu."Mom pulled over in front of my school "Bye ma"  I waved at her, hiking my bag up higher"Arre haan, Ishi ko aaj tumko pick up karna padega. Chalo, jao." Before I could retaliate, she drove away. 

"Ughhhhhh." "What is it?" Jesse asked, amusement lining their voice. "I'm the one picking up the demon that is my sister." "I thought you got along with your sister?" "I do but not when I'm running on four hours of sleep and she's the one who woke me up." "You're running on what?" Jesse's eyes widened, the amusement had been replaced with serious concern. 

They're kind of big on "healthy sleep schedules", so running on barely any sleep was basically the equivalent of committing murder for them. 

"Babe, you need to go to bed" Jesse instructed, almost trembling "I'll be fine jess." I yawned, yeah I wasn't very convincing. " Ananya,Jesse" Mrs. Sawyer saved me before I had to listen to my best friend rant about the importance of sleep schedules. 

"Yes ma'am?" I whirled around, a smile plastered onto my face. "Would you two mind helping me out?" She asked, beside her was the school's golden boy; Anthony Rossi

"Sure, what do you need our help in?" "Well there's an interschool competition and our school's organizing it, so I have a few odd jobs that I want the students' help in. I'll excuse you from the rest of the day if you help me out." She explained, a pleading note to her voice

I thought about it, it would be much better than having to listen to Mr. Fowler drone on about the second world war plus Jesse would be so busy, they would forget how angry they were with my sleeping habits!

"I would love to!"
