“ CHIRP . CHIRP . “

The sound of a bird was heard directly at the right side of a students ‘ ear . The sunlight ‘ s rays strike at the window , where the animal stood , revealing the floating , yet soothing , dust scattered over the light .

“CHIRP . CHIRP . “

“ Can you be any more loud ? “ Exasperated , a young girl swayed her right hand side to side , which made the bird fly away to a nearby birdcage . The girl , now woken up by both the chirping and the warm sun hitting her face , sat upright with a drowsy face .

“ What time is it . . . ? It normally doesn ‘ t shine this bri— “ The girl would say with a hoarse and tired voice , rubbing her eye with her left hand in a careful motion . While brushing her reflective , long , white hair that expanded to the floor of her dorm room , as she normally doesn ‘ t tie her hair while asleep and would leave it out to make the lily scent of her room stay , she slowly opened her eyes and suddenly widened them due to a realization — she is late for her next class ! 

“ Oh why didn ‘ t you get out of your cage sooner ?! I leave it out open for you to scream at my face or peck it , and out of all times to do so , you did it midday ! You already know who will be my teacher for my first period today . “ While lashing out on her pet , she immediately got out of her bed , wore her student ‘ s uniform and quickly , yet patiently , tied her cape across her shoulders , placed the student ‘ s cap on the upper right side of her hair , and finally , got out of her room whilst braiding her hair . 

Although each strand would stand out and slide across the floor , not one student would be in the dormitory halls to accidentally or purposefully step on it . The girl wouldn ‘ t run , but walk with haste to keep appropriate composure .

Only 10 minutes left until the first bell rings , signaling that the school ‘ s gate would close , making latecomers unable to enter , and the classes would begin . Fortunately , the girl was able to enter the gates , as well as other lucky students who were in the same situation as her . As she scanned through the school ‘ s hallways looking for her locker , she twisted the last group of hair on her braid and made a knot that would ensure it wouldn ‘ t fall off , adding on a small pin that was on the left side of her fringes .

6 minutes left , and the girl finally reached her locker . She fiddled her hands on the passcode and , without minding her pace , she dropped the passcode on the floor . Opening the locker ‘ s door , she would pick out of her books that were once organized perfectly , would be in a minor mess after removing them one by one to check the left side of the book ‘ s cover , as she would always leave them showing on the right so no one would be able to take her books in a quick manner . 

“ I should ‘ ve turned them on the other side . . . “ The girl whispered to herself with a hint of regret in her voice . She then closed the locker door and left , forgetting about the passcode that was supposed to lock the door .

5 minutes left , and now our girl walks through the halls . What made her worry is that it takes that same exact amount of time to get to her classroom , and she just couldn ‘ t help but run , without any care of the other students that were there to see such an unusual thing for a girl like her .

30 seconds left until the bell rings . All of her classmates would be on their seats , her teacher quietly waiting for the bell to ring , and she should ‘ ve been there by now . Her classmates would quietly mutter under their breaths if the girl wouldn ‘ t come to class today , and discussed what could ‘ ve been the reason . On the other hand , the girl was still far ahead . Finally , she saw the door of her classroom , where she slowed down and began to walk . She didn ‘ t want any of her classmates to see her as improper and wanted to keep her mysterious , yet punctual aura .
