"It's 5:30am."

My alarm rang continuously reminding me to get out of bed but I was just too lazy to get up from the bed. It wasn't until I realized that I've got a job waiting for me, did I managed to summon a little strength to get up and everything about sleep jumped out the window. Finally getting the strength I needed, I slouched to the bathroom, took a bath and dressed up before heading to the kitchen to make breakfast. Only then did it dawn on me that I was the only one awake in the house.

"This ain't right." I shook my head, clicking my tongue. "Not at all." I left what I had started doing and strode purposely to Krystal's room only for me to see her still sleeping like a baby when she had a school to attend.

Dad was the early bird of the family and if he was at home, every other person would be awake but due to the nature of his job and the fact that he works in shift, he was often absent.

"Krystal, get your ass off that bed. Don't you have a school to attend?" I sat at the edge of her bed trying to push her awake.

"Ohhh." She groaned and turn the other way. "Get lost."

"Such insolence." I huffed, tapping her shoulders rapidly. When she didn't respond, I began to blow air into her ear. At that, she brought her pillow over her ear and I knew she was wide awake.

"Krystal, get up." I shouted.

"Leave me alone." She grumbled, slipping under the comforter. "Why are you being such a bitch?" I scoffed and pulled the comforter from her body.

"Kiara, just let me sleep a little more. Besides, what's the time that you're already waking me up." Krystal coaxed.

"It's 7:20am, you sure are late sweetheart." I smirked.

"What?!!!!" She sat up instantly to check the time. Exactly what I needed.

"Now that you're awake go take your bath." I told her and strode towards the door having accomplished my mission.

"Kiara, did I ever tell you that you're evil. Why would you disturb my sleep?" She grumbled, slouching against the headboard.

I smiled at her. "My dear little sis, it's love." I retorted, walking out of her room. "Now, get out of that bed and go take your bath. You can come assist me after you're done."

"That's what you would have said in beginning. Some much for having an elder sister." Krystal grumbled, trailing behind me into the living room. "You're starting work today?" She asked, stretching her body.

"No, I'm starting next week. Can't you see I'm still in bed?" I replied sarcastically, searching through the cabinet for milk.

"No need to be sarcastic sis, I asked to show that I care unlike some people." She sprawled on the couch, going through her phone. "What are you looking for?" She glanced at me before returning back to her phone.

"Milk." She looked at me confused and then blinked upon realization. "Do you know where it is?" I asked and dropped the flour on the kitchen table.

"It's in the cabinet on your right." She replied, typing furiously on her phone.

I muttered a thank you and started preparing pancakes. "But how could you of all people ask me that? I told you last night, don't you remember?"

"K, I was dozing off during that conversation last night but I did hear you say something about a new job." She yawned, putting her phone away.

I threw her a dirty look and she responded with a shrug and a toothy smile.

"So, what's this new job about?"
