"Rise and shine, sleepy head." Miss Stella's voice, accompanied by the bed being raised, causing Alice to roll down, woke Alice up right away.
She grabbed the edge of the bed and looked up with her suddenly tattered hair and groggy expression. She found Miss Stella grinning at her and she said,
"This method seems to be the most efficient."
"What? What's going on? Is the world in danger? Are there red gates breaking somewhere? Tell me, do I have to stuff my belly beforehand?" She frantically asked and Miss Stella tittered.
That wide grin on Miss Stella's face looked like the expression of victory, as she had conquered an impossible mission of waking a sleeping Alice.
"Well, there are no gates but you will face danger if you don't hurry and take your bath. It's your first day of school, remember?"
Alice looked at her oddly and her lips cracked up in dismay.
"Huh?"
