Ayame's Home
Ms. Ayame: Haruka, get out of bed now. Breakfast is ready.
(Ayame wakes up)
Ayame: Coming Mom (in a tiring voice)
(Ayame goes downstairs with her eyes barely open)
Ms. Ayame: What's wrong Haruka? Still sleepy?
(Ayame nods her head softly)
Ms. Ayame: *Sigh* Well, try taking a shower, that should make you feel energized after this.
Ayame: Got it.
(Ayame finishes her meal and goes to take a shower)
Ayame: Looks like even the shower couldn't keep me awake.
(Ayame changes to her school uniform)
Ayame's mom: Haruka, you're about to be late to school.
Ayame: Really, what time is it?
(Ayame checks the time)
Ayame: 7:30!? I must go now.
(Ayame rushes downstairs)
Ayame: Bye Mom. I love you so much. (she quickly spoke)
Ayame: Bye, dear.
Sidewalk
Ayame: I'm about to be late...as the school year started.
(Ayame slips on something)
Ayame: OW! What was that—. Huh?
(She noticed a white gem in front of her)
Ayame: What is this? It looks like some gem that appears in superpower movies.
Ayame: It does look pretty.
(Her phone starts beeping which shocks her)
Ayame: That beeping. Is it already 7:40?
Ayame: I need to go now. I have no time.
(Ayame stores the crystal without her even knowing)
School
Prof. Asuka: Late on the first day of school.
Ayame: *Pants* Sorry, professor.
Prof. Asuka: I hope you don't make a habit out of this.
Ayame: So, am I free to go?
Prof. Asuka: Do you want to be in trouble?
Ayame: No.
Prof. Asuka: Then get to class!
Ayame: OK (in a scared tone)
Prof. Asuka: What a troublesome child.
Ayame: Phew, I sure was lucky I didn't get in trouble. Although I wonder, what was that gem?
(Ayame suddenly remembers what she did)
Ayame: Oh yeah, I took the gem in my bag. Where was it?
(Ayame holds the gem and is dazzled by it)
Ayame: This sure looks magical. I wonder if it will give me some superpowers or something.
Hayashi: What's that?
Ayame: Hayashi! I felt scared there for a second.
Hayashi: Yeah whatever, so what's that thing you're holding?
