Gentle knocking on the wooden door woke her up from her deep sleep . She shifted under the warm blanket , blinking her eyes to adjust with the sunlight penetrating from the window.
A head popped up from behind the door , as the girl tried to clear her morning voice .
" Good morning , pops " She greeted , getting rid of the blanket enveloping her.
" I hope you slept well , princess " He chirped as he made his way towards her.
" I slept very well. How about you , pops ? "
" I slept wonderfully Miss . Excited for school ?"
" Not really , but what's for breakfast ? "
" God , when I was your age ...."
She didn't waste any time and grabbed him into a headlock.
" I know the whole history of your adventurous journey to school ... I'll get ready soon "
A kiss was placed on his cheeks , before she headed towards the washroom .
After her morning shower , she stared at herself in the mirror in her new uniform .
" Why the hell is this skirt too short ?" She mumbled trying to reach it down to her knee length.
" Atleast it's covering most of it and I look fabulous in it . But something's missing ?" She wondered .
" A smile " Her mother answered as she stared at her daughter with those sparkling eyes of hers .
" Right ...A smile " She forced herself to smile , sending her a wink to which her mother chuckled .
" Everyday is a new beginning " Her mother smiled at her , before placing a kiss on both her cheeks.
" I'll embrace it and make the best out of it "
" I'm feeling left out now " They turned their attention towards the figure watching them with a pout on his face.
" Come here , pops " She held her arms out to him , waiting for his hug.

" Waffles and melted chocolate "
She skipped towards the table , seated herself in the chair waiting for them. "Let's dig in , shall we ? " She eyed her father who winked back at her .
" Games on " He mumbled grabbing the waffles .
" I hope you both choke on it and dies " Her mother let out a snarky remark at them , before grabbing herself a plate of it .
" You ruined my mood , honey "
" So I win ... Great way to start " She chuckled winking at her mother.
" Take care , princess " She turned back to face her parents who was waving cheerfully at her .
" I will " She smiled at them , turning her heels towards her next destination. Her school.
