"Get out of bed sweetheart, you'll be late for school.." Ryan's mother whispered as she untucked Ryan and kissed her forehead.
Ryan smiled, then sat up and hopped out of bed. Everyone had their morning routine but it was hard for Ryan to ever do that routine. She didn't follow it.. See, the routine is:
8:00 am-get up and get dressed.
8:12 am-you should not feel tired, if you do splash your face with water to awaken yourself.
8:15 am-eat something.
8:20 am-be at the bus stop so the local bus and school bus can pick you up. The local bus and school bus came together. Students went on the bright yellowish orange bus while Adults went on the Local Public Bus for work.
8:23 am-buses pick you up.
8:30 am-buses drop you off at school/work.
8:40 am-be in your classroom and get ready to learn. If you are an Adult be in your office or assigned place.
8:40--9 am-get school work done. Or get your job homework done for adults.
9:00 am-school and work starts.
9:00 am--2:00 pm-school and work are in session.
School times: 9am-2pm
Work hours: 9am-2pm, 10am-3pm, 11am-4pm
And that was just the morning.
After school or work at 2:00, students went to the family land.
Here's the schedule for the afternoon
2:00-2:25pm-bus ride home.
2:25pm-snack time.
2:45pm-relaxation NO NAPS.

6:30pm-go up to your in closure and grab your weekly book given to you by the Council. This weeks book is ____
7:00pm-set your book down and go to bed.
Then it was the same thing over and over again.
Ryan didn't know how everyone did it. There was no change. Ryan has been doing this routine for 15 years now.
She has been getting bored of it.
Her family, her mother, her father, her older brother, Drew, and her baby sister, Autumn, didn't seem to care.
She doesn't know why.
Anyways, Ryan slide out of bed and changed clothing. She went to the washing station and splashed her face with water. Still feeling tired, she started the morning routine.
Ryan put her hair up in a bun, then poured grains into a bowl full of milk and started eating.
A few minutes after Ryan had started eating she passed out. Her head fell into her bowl which caused the result of milk spilling all over the floor.
The clatter of the bowl and spoon hitting the ground still didn't wake Ryan up.
Looks like she's gonna be late to school again today.
