"Wakey-wakey!"
The call of my older sister's voice accompanied by a heavy-handed shaking stirs me awake much quicker and forcefully than I'm used to. Especially given I have always been the one to wake her up. One valiant struggle to peel my eyes open later though, reveals that she is not only up but also fully dressed and lively.
"Finally!" She exclaims with her hands on her sides and a self-satisfied grin on her face. "Sleeping in your sister's bed must feel like heaven, huh? I've seen trolls sleep more lightly than you!"
Gee, this early and she's already like that. But what can I do, except keep pretending I wasn't doing it to comfort HER, rather than the other way around? It really is annoying how she's treating me like a baby, but maybe that's just how she handles being sad?
"Not that Sister minds, of course! Don't take this the wrong way, but you really have been looking like you needed some sleep since I came back home. Sleeping late once in a while can be good for you, especially after lying awake at night worrying when Sister would come home, you know!"
Everyone is used to you being out and about most of time by now, stupid! Wait, did she just say... "Late?"
"Oh yeah!" She explains with a nod towards the window. "It's almost noon! Don't you usually wake at dawn? Guess dad thought you could use the sleep too!"
...
"I'M LATE!" I scream, jumping out of the bed and setting about looking for my backpack. I should really wash my face and braid my hair too but there's no time! I should have been at Mistress' house hours ago and where is that stupid pack?
"Uhh, looking for something?" Sis asks in a bewildered voice while scratching her head. But why is she even in my...
"ARGH! WRONG ROOM!"
