Let Me Understand You

Understanding You Better

I heard my alarm blaring throughout my room, I groaned tiredly as I reached my hand over towards my night stand and cut the alarm off.

I leaned up and stretched while yawning, I then placed both of my feet on my bedroom floor, and I stood up making my way to the bathroom. I quickly brushed my teeth and washed my face. Once I was done I went back into my bedroom, and I put on my school uniform, and brushed through my hair. I grabbed my school bag and made my way down stairs where my family was already waiting to eat breakfast. I took my usual seat at the table and yawned again. 

"Rough night?" Yosano asked me before sipping on her coffee again. 

"Just was restless." I said laying my head on the table. 

"You've been keeping up with taking your medicine to help you sleep right Chuuya?" 

"Yes. I just couldn't sleep." 

"Hm..." I could hear the doubt in my mother's voice. "Alright... If something was wrong you'd come to me or Yosano right?" 

"Yes." 

“Relax, honey. Give it time. I’m sure it’s just because it’s a new place, and he isn’t use to it yet.” Yosano said smiling as she reassured my mother. 

With that my mother went back to finishing breakfast and she didn't press the issue further with me. I leaned up as I watched my mother start to set out breakfast for us. Today’s breakfast was a Japanese recipe my mother was trying out. Tamagoyaki, squid shaped sausage, and rice. It was an odd breakfast definitely more different than we were use to. But it looked good none the less. I watched as my little sister bit into her squid shaped sausage. I watched as her eyes light up with happiness. 

“This is so good Mama!” Henrietta chirped excitedly. 

“You think so? I’ll have to try things like this out more often.” 

“Chuuya what do you think?” I looked at my food and then bit into the sausage and egg at the same time. I sat down my fork and lifted both hands giving my mother a thumbs up.
