6:00 AM

A young boy opened his eyes when the alarm clock rang. Because of its loud noise, he just turned it off immediately and covered his face with his pillow. His name was Oner Ardonawa, 17 years old, turning second year in the current year.

"What a good dream back there?" he said, moving his entire body to the left side.

In the kitchen, Mrs. Danica Ardonawa, his mother, had a beautiful face and skin. Her appearance looked ten years younger than her actual age as forty-two years old. She wore headband around her hair and blue-green apron in her body. She had finished cooking their breakfast and steadily served it in the table.

"Oner! Get up now! I know you're awake so just get down here. Oh, take a bath, brush your teeth and before you wear your uniform make sure to fix your things first and then eat your meal in the table. I'd prepare our breakfast," Mrs. Ardonawa said, one by one putting the tablespoon and fork in the table.

"I got it, Mom!" Oner rose from my bed. Stretching his body from her to toe.

He then proceed to his bathroom. He checked his face in the mirror to check if their was something odd in his face. After few minutes, he finished all the basic hygiene such brushing his teeth, taking a bath and wore his uniform.

"There, I'm good," he said, fixing up the necktie to his collar. He grabbed his bag and proceed to go down to the kitchen.

His mother was confused when she saw him wearing a different uniform. "What are you wearing? I thought that you must wear a blue uniform on your first day?"

"Mom, I'm Second year now. Indeed, you're correct about that though. But didn't I forget to tell you that second year students must wear blue suits because yellow ones was supposedly signed of freshmen, did I?"

"Ooh, that's a great one then. Oh my," she covered her mouth, "I forgot that my son is now a second year high school student. You're father will be proud of you." She wiped her tears.

"Mom, you sound the old man is dead. Well I do hope he could be able to go home and see his son doing his best for his parents." Oner sat down to his chair and started to grab the food.

"Oner, it's already 6:30 am. The train will start to move to Yokio at exactly 6:45. You will miss the trip. I think you knew that right?" Mrs. Ardonawa said, started to panic when she saw the time in their clock.

"Wha- Mmm mmm," Oner swallowed the food in his plate, "Thanks for the food. Bye Mom."

Oh shit, got to move now!

He then stood up and leave his chair. He grabbed and put his sandwich in his mouth and held his bag tightly. He went outside the house and ran faster as he could.

"Oner, what about the kiss in your mother? My my my, well I hope my child won't be late in his first day." Mrs. Ardonawa said, starting to clean up the mess in the table.

He reached the station at exact time of 6:28 AM. He bought the ticket quickly and ran to the train. However, he saw the conductor signaling the driver to close the door.

"Wait!" he panted. "Please don't leave without me."

Crap, I have no other choice.

One of the passenger saw him and opened the door for him when the train started to move. He threw his bag to the old man who opened it. The old man caught his bag in the exact time he ran over the door and quickly slid through. The door automatically closed when it done.
