Star opened her tired, emerald eyes and looked at her digital clock on her night stand.
"8:00! Damn, I'm late again!!" She leaped out of bed, practically flinging the yellow stuffed animal across the room.
"Stop doing that!"It suddenly spoke and floated back over to the large bed.
"Kero! How come you didn't wake me up?!" She yelled, pulling on her blue, short sailor skirt and knee high socks.
"I didn't want to break your record of being late for school." He said simply, pulling out a bag of sweets from under a pillow. Inhaling it almost instantly.
"Thanks." She said sarcastically, buttoning up her matching sailor top. She grabbed her school brief case and slid everything (except the pink lap top and lamp) from the desk into it, then ran out of the room.
"Hurry up Star, you'll be late for-" Sakura yelled up to her, but stopped when she came rushing down the Stairs. Hastily putting her long hazel hair into her pig tails.
She tripped a little at the last step, but caught herself on the railing.
She ran past her mom and into the huge kitchen were her dad, Li, sat reading the newspaper.
As she ran in, he put his hand out holding out her lunch, not taking his eyes off the paper.
Star took it and quickly shoved it into her brief case. "Thanks dad." She kissed him on the cheek and then ran over to the now entering Sakura. "Bye mom." She kissed her on the cheek too, then ran to put her shoes in her now bulging bag, and strapped her roller skates on.
She was just about to leave when she remembered something. "Oh yah," she rolled into the kitchen,"can you two come to my martial arts competition after school? It starts at 3:30."
"Of course!" Sakura said happily.
"Alright, see you then!" She rode outside, jumping the front steps and glided down the long driveway.
