Late… Again...

...I get up quickly and start my normal routine of pulling on random bits of uniform;  this time around, a skirt (short enough to probably be from two years ago), and an old creased blouse with the school crest embroidered on it. I look at my distinctly dishevelled appearance in the mirror; a tall girl with honey blonde hair lying untidily just beyond her broad shoulders, and with an overgrown fringe sweeping across her  startlingly green almond eyes stared straight back. Suddenly remembering how late I am, I hunt around the dormitory for my school shoes, finally finding them under my hat.
