"Do your best at work mom!"

I gave her a thumbs-up as she kissed my forehead.

"You too, do your best at school!"

She grinned at me as I nodded eagerly.

Mom stepped inside her own car and waved goodbye to us as she drove her car.

I turned my head and got inside my dad's car.

"Don't forget your seatbelt."

"Yes!"

"Bring your bento?"

"Yes!"

"Phone?"

"Yes!"

"Do you forget anything else?"

"No, Sir!"

I cheered as he chuckled and started the machine.

"Alright then, let's go to your school!"

My dad's workplace is near to my school, which is why this time I ride with my dad instead of my mom.

The hospital mom worked in was near my middle school, so I used to ride with her the time I was still in middle school.

But now it feels like a whole different experience riding with my dad to school.

I couldn't help but grin along the way.

"Are you that excited?"
