Maia yawned. It was the first schoolday and yet she wished it was weekend again.
Her free time hadn't been exactly relaxing for her since she spent half of it in a small supermarket. Mr. White, her employer, was glad that she wouldn't go on a holiday trip like the rest of his workers. Maia wasn't.
Her back was still aching from carrying crates, as she dawdled on the way to her class room. At least she would work on the cash register again today... She only got a glimpse of the teacher, and barely recognised Alex as he ran past her. [i] Should have bought a coffee[/i], she thought while opening the classroom door.
