lazy days.

A tangle of soft black hair lay sprawled across her cream-coloured pillow. Lyra would've remained in deep slumber hadn't it been for the familiar drone of her bedside alarm clock. Obviously stirred by it, with all reluctance to wake, Her hand reached out from under the covers and felt for the snooze button, then returned to sleep.

5 minutes later, the alarm sounded as it should.

"Ugrrrhhhh, five more minutes.." she groaned.

Finally, giving in to the persistent alarm clock, Lyra sat up slowly trying to shake off her morning blues. She then drops her palm on top of the clock to stop the annoying beep of the alarm.
Still groggy, Lyra dragged herself to the washroom to freshen up and get ready for school.

Whilst brushing her teeth, she ran her fingers through her hair and ruffled her locks, in an absent-minded attempt to untangle it.
After freshening up and feeling more awake, Lyra quickly rumages through her closet for her uniform, being well aware of the time she has left to get to school. She slips on her uniform skillfully and pulls back her soft black curls into a neat, slick ponytail. Satisfied, she slung on her backpack and picked up her breakfast on the way out the door.

Lyra put on her shoes and took a glance at her watch to keep check of time.
6am sharp.
She makes a mental note.
That leaves 15 minutes, grace time. Taking advantage of that immediately, Lyra locks the door behind her and saunters down the corridor.

As she does, Only then, did the dread of a new school year begin to sink in.
