GASP.

"I'M GOING TO BE LATE!" I shouted as I rose from the dead.

The clock read 8:13AM. I ran to the bathroom to grab my toothbrush and toothpaste then rushed back to my room to find a change of clothes while brushing my teeth.

"AYA!"

Should I visit the convenience store on my way to practice or after practice?

I contemplated my options while carefully putting on my shirt, making sure I didn't get toothpaste on it.

"AYA!"

If I'm already late, I don't think I have time to drop by on my way to practice...

I pondered while putting on my skirt.

"AYA!"

I need to buy some snacks so I can munch on something while I study though...

I thought to myself while putting on my socks.

"AYASE!" Arata burst through my door.

"STOP! I'm changing!" I cried out, sputtering toothpaste all over my brother's face.

He looked at me unamused and wiping the spit off his face. I noticed that I had already finished changing and gave him an apologetic smile.

"Whoops."

"I'm going to a study group at noon so I need you to take over the shop." He said through gritted teeth, trying not to raise his voice at me.

My family owns a flower shop. My brother and I run the store from time to time. It's not often that we have to take care of the store due to our studies but both our parents were out of town tonight and Arata agreed to watch the store today.

"But archery practice doesn't end until noon! And you told mom and dad that you were going to watch the store today!" I protested.

"My career is more important than your dumb club." he retorted, clearly getting annoyed at me.

Arata was right. He's in medical school learning how to save people's lives while I'm in archery club just for fun.

"Fine," I said defeatedly, "but I'm not coming back any earlier than noon!"

"Thanks." He smiled after getting what he wanted then closed the door behind him.

I let out a small sigh. I study so much and get good grades but I don't really know what I want to be when I grow up. Mom and Dad think of Arata with such high regards because he's in the medical field. But that's not what I want to do....

I glanced at the clock. 8:30AM.

Shoot! I'm going to be late!

I finished brushing my teeth and ran out of the house.

"I'm leaving now! Bye!" I shouted out to my family.

"Ayase! Aren't you going to eat break-"

SLAM!

I cut my mom off with the slam of the door. No time for food, I told Hayashi that I wasn't going to be late today.

School was roughly 20 minutes away from home. Less if I sprinted to and from the train station.
