~7:30 am~

The sun was shining brightly, casting golden rays across the town. The pleasant sounds of birds chirping in the early morning were a soothing melody to the ear, until the sudden and jarring sound of the alarm went off, causing me to have a mini heart attack. I quickly opened my eyes, swatted at the alarm clock's devilish sound, and threw it somewhere onto my bed before drifting back into sleep.

~10 minutes later~

The sound of the alarm went off once again making me groan in my sleep. I took the blanket off my head in an attempt to look for the phone so that I could switch it off. However, by the time I had turned the alarm off, I heard the scream of my mother telling me to wake up. Finally admitting defeat I got out of bed and made my way to the bathroom to get myself ready for the day ahead. After taking a shower and following my usual routine, I decided to wear high-waisted flare pants with a cropped top. I layered it with a cardigan, put my hair in a messy bun, and applied light makeup. To complete the look, I paired the outfit with a pair of Air Forces. Once I had gotten myself ready I started making my way downstairs. As I was walking down the stairs I heard my mum shout.

"Amaya are you awake!!!" Screamed my mother from the kitchen.

Let me introduce you guys to Amaya's mum, Maya Hart. She is not only a mother and wife, but also a very famous chef. Maya is a chef and owns her restaurant. She has always loved cooking and had a passion for food and different cuisines growing up, so she decided to pursue a career in culinary. She has created a great name for herself. That's all for now.

"Yes, I am right behind you mum," I said as I walked into the kitchen. She turned around and smiled at me before telling me to sit down and have my breakfast. I usually skip breakfast because I'm not a morning eater. However, when my mum prepares breakfast in advance, I don't have much of a choice but to eat it. Otherwise, I would have to endure a lecture first thing in the morning. I always look forward to enjoying my mother's cooking. Her food is simply divine.

I continued eating breakfast as my dad entered the kitchen, holding a cup of tea and his phone. As he came in front of the table he placed his tea and phone down and walked towards me. "Good morning sweetheart," he said as he placed a kiss on my forehead, he went on to do the same to my mum. I watched in awe as I replied to his good morning with a good morning back.

Let me introduce Amaya's dad to you now. Jacob hart. He is a construction manager. He frequently brought Amaya to construction sites, which she eagerly anticipated and relished. The workers there eagerly awaited Amaya's visits.

"What are your plans for today?" asked my dad, while sipping on his tea.

"Not much. I have classes from 9 to 4, but I am free afterwards. Did you need me to do something?" I asked.

"Yeah, if you can, could you stop by the hardware store downtown and pick up my order?" My dad asked.

"Sure, Dad, I'll stop by after I finish with my classes. Anything else?" I asked.

"Thank you, sweetheart. No, that's all, unless your mum needs something. Take my card with you and buy yourself something too," my dad said. I smiled and nodded before turning my attention to my mum in case she needed me to run an errand as well.

"Do you need me to run any errands for you, Mum?" I asked after finishing my meal.

"No, sweetheart," she replied, giving me a sweet smile.
