Chapter 1(continued)
Ionia uncovered her head and sat up, a look of discontent and anger crossed her face. She sighed and her head dropped down, “Only a dream! Ohhhhh!” she grunted and clutched the blankets. “Well, I better hurry or I’ll be late!” she said and crawled out of bed. Ionia stood up and stretched, her bright yellow shirt had Neko ( a small and cute kitten, similar to Hello Kitty) with an umbrella and a matching set of blue, cloud printed shorts. She opened her curtains and the sun’s rays pierced through, lighting and illuminating the room. A smile played on her lips and she ran across her room, and opened her door; it flew open and bounced off of her wall. “Let’s get it moving!” she said and ran into the bathroom. A mixture of noises could be heard from the bathroom and a frequent sound of ‘Uphm’s’ and ‘Ouch’s’ could be acknowledged.
Suddenly Ionia fell out of the bathroom, one leg in the air with a sock half way up her calf. “Ow, that hurt. Why today?” she wined as she rubbed her head. She finished pulling up the sock and got back up. Ionia straightened her clothes and ran down stairs. Ionia went to a public school, and as such she could wear anything she wanted, within limits, and today she was in her ’I-may-be back- at-school-but-I-look-like-I’m-still-enjoying-my-break’ mode. Her raven black hair was put into a messy bun, and a few rebel strands had managed to find their way to her face. The strands fell to curve and accent her face but she only found them annoying. She was wearing her new turquoise top and black pleated skirt. Her white knee highs were accents to the white waist tie on her shirt.
Ionia ran into the kitchen and frantically opened the fridge, ‘I’m gonna be late!’ she thought. She grabbed a bottle of juice and scrambled to a nearby cabinet and opened it. She grabbed a packet of ‘Breakfast Pax, Breakfast Fast!’’; which consisted of a granola bar, dried fruit chew and a yogurt honey cluster mix. Ionia place the Pax and juice on the counter and ran out of the doorway, into the entrace. She reappeared with her bag and set it on the table. She stuffed the juice into the front pocket and zipped it up. It was now 6:50, she only had 10 minutes to get to school and prepare for first day horrors. She glanced at a nearby clock and screamed, “OH NO!!!”. Ionia grabbed her bag and ran into the entrance, she slipped on her black shoes and grabbed her cellphone from the entry way table.
