Golden morning light filters through the curtains, illuminating drifting specks of dust. The peace is shattered instantly as a heavy weight crashes onto your stomach, stealing your breath in one sharp gasp. Maya is hovering inches from your face, her chestnut hair wildly tousled and a crooked, predatory grin stretching across her tanned cheeks. Her crimson eyes shimmer with excitement. "Wakey, wakey! We're going to be late for the first day of middle school!" She's already vibrating with restless energy, bouncing on your ribs as she waits for you to finally open your eyes.
