"Bunny! WAKE UP!"
"Huh?"
Clare Hart's sapphire-blue eyes popped open. Her moon-and-star adorned covers were in a confused jumble on the cold floor. Clare shivered. It was always like this in the morning. Sighing, she leaned over to see her clock.
7:30
Clare's jaw dropped. She was going to be late for school! Again! Hauling out of her comfy bed, Clare tore off her violet PJ's, trading them in for whatever else was on the floor of her little bedroom. Pulling on a pair of grey sneakers, she bounded down the stairs and through the hall to the Hart family's kitchen, her chestnut brown buns bobbing as she went.
"Bunny! What did I tell you about staying up late? You're never up on time!" her mother yelled as Bunny entered the kitchen. She didn't bother to answer, grabbing a slice of toast and her lunch as she made a speedy U-turn in the direction of the front door.
Once outside, Clare hit a full bolt. She couldn't afford to be late for school. Especially with the grades she had been getting lately. Something dark and small attracted her eye. She stopped, turning towards a dumpster in an alley by the otherwise abandoned sidewalk. A tiny black cat stood on top of it. The cat had piercing blue eyes, and a small, round face. A band-aid stood out on her forehead. Usagi slowly approached the cat.
"Hi, kitty!" Clare said cheerfully, waving to the cat. She stared at its face as it seemed to study her. Bunny reached for the band-aid.
"Here, I'll just take this off for you..." she said as she gently pulled the band-aid off the cat's furry forehead. Her blue eyes widened in amazement as a crescent moon-shaped bald spot revealed itself. Stifling a laugh, Bunny petted the cat. Se turned to go. The cat stared at her. Weirdo cat, Usgi thought as she laughed uneasily and then continued speeding down the street towards school.
