January

Chapter II

August 16 50 S.I. Solemnor State 8:17

January is still asleep on her bed. The time is 8:20 and her LED-alarm goes off. She groans and slaps the snooze button. She opens her eyes and everything is blurry. She rubs her eyes then her head.

"Oh crap! I need to get dressed!" January jumps out of bed and dashes to her closet.

She grabs a light blue blouse and a pair of white jean shorts. Her feet get cold and realizes that ice is forming at her heels. The ice spreads to the floor and half way across the room. January holds her hand out and the ice thaws. She faces her wall size mirror and fixes her blue hair.

"Control it. Its gonna be okay, January." she talks to herself in the mirror.

She takes off her sweats and puts on new clothes. After struggling to put on jean shorts, she grabs silver flats and rushes out her closet and bedroom.

"Bye, room." she sets the security alarm to her room and runs down the stairs.

She stops to the kitchen and grabs a couple pieces of bread. She puts them in the toaster and waits. Her mom comes down the stairs with messy hair and a robe on.

"You okay mom? You seem nauseous." January sits at the dining table.

"Oh, no I'm fine. Just that today is school for you." her mom yawns a bit.

"Well, you might as well have a piece of toast with bananas on it with me."

"Oh, dear that sounds good. Afterwards I will get cleaned up."

Her mom sits across the table from January and yawns again. January sighs and looks at the clock.

Already 8:31. Well school starts at 9:25 so I'll be fine.

January thought for a second. The toast is done and she runs to it. She grabs two plates and places a piece of toast on each of them. Her mom walks up the stairs and scratches her forehead.

"No, mom! Come back! Breakfast!" January yells.

"I just need to use the restroom and I'll be right back, okay?" her mom rubs her eyes.

"Promise?"

"Promise."

January blows kisses to her mom and continues to make breakfast. She grabs a banana and a cutting knife. She peels the yellow fruit and throws the skins away. She cuts the banana and sets them on top of the toast.

"There, easy breakfast." January talks to herself.

Her mom walks down the stairs, all dressed and clean. Her silver hair all swooped up and stylish.

"Wow, you look great!" January smiles.

"Thank you, it was my special creation." her mom giggles.

"Here, I made breakfast."

"Oh why thank you."

Her mom sits down at the table and grabs a napkin. She sets it on her lap and straightens her posture. January sets a plate down in front of her mom and sets the other one at January's spot. She sits down and cuts a piece of toast with a slice of banana on it.

Time passes on and January grabs her jacket. She runs to the front door and grabs the hover car keys.

"Mom! I'm leaving!" January waves.

"Bye dear! Drive safe!" her mom waves back.

January locks the door and runs to the hover. She unlocks it and sets her bags and jacket in the passenger seat. She locks the door and walks to the driver's door.
