Solo Role Play: New Year Morning
The alarm clock want off at 5 in the morning, waking me up from my four hours of sleep. The night before was fun. Mom and dad had a party for all the families, friends, and students of own dance studio. We dance, talk, ate, and just had a good time. When midnight hit, we all hug, kiss, and wish each other a happy new year. It was very nice. But for my family and it, it was just the start. You see, back in Japan we have a traditions called
Hatsuhinode. On Hatsuhinode, we wait for the sun to rise and make a wish. My mom did it with her family before their falling out and now, she want to stay it up again with us. I wasn't very happy with the idea of waking up so early after being up so long but I wanting to make my mom happy and agree to it. I moaned and pouted, turning over to hit the stop button. I wanted to fall back to sleep but then, I heard a knock on my bedroom door before it open slowly. My mom's head pop in, a big smile over her lips. She said not a word before disappear back behind the door. I just fake cry to myself, removing the covers from my body and got up.
After I put on some warmer clothes on and my thickest jacket, I join my mom and dad up at my root top garden since we couldn't really drive to the close by beach or mountains. Mom was sitting on dad's lap on the steps of the Gazebo, warped in a warm blanket. Both turn to look at me when they heard my feet-steps and smile. Dad then unwrap the blanket for me to join them which it. But then it was just a little pass 5:30. It would be another 10 to 15 minutes before we be able to see the brightest of the sun over the tall buildings of downtown. We just chat and talk about what we hope the new year will began. My mom was the one the notice the sunlight first. She shh us then point up to the now rising sun. As I stare up at it, I starting to make my wish. What I wish for...? Well, you just have to wait and see. I got closes to my dad and he warp his arm around my shoulder, using his other arm to hold my mom in place on his lap. Then we just sat there and was the first day of the new year.
