Late Morning - Early Beginning

Elsteba was running late, as usual. Early morning classes never seemed her type, and it always puzzled her as to why the High School desided to make the schedual start a whole hour earlier. If they were stressing the importance of attendance, shouldn't they be doing their part to make such an unreasonable goal come true? 6:00 is far to early for anyone to be up. Even the birds and insects knew when it was too early to wake and sing for the world.
Outside the horn on the hovercar was blasting sonic booms into her room. Such a noise could easily be heard for miles around, if it weren't for modern technological acheivements, such as the audiobeam. Why? Why does technology seem to be convinient for everyone but me? Elsteba quickly switched the clothes-former switch and was immediatly dressed in the new hottest styles to date. This outfit would be expencive, but so was the house, when it came down to it. The future is a place of boring monotony. Nothing ever changes here.
Looking in the walk-in mirror, Elsteba realized that her face still had the black markings of a self-washed mascara job, which was against school codes. Her futile efforts to be at least somewhat able to work had backfired many times. Once she had tried to dress herself and couldn't find where to wear the watch! It seemed obvious after the computer had done it, but that little clasp was not as easy as it seemed. Quickly, she walked through the mirror and out the other side. Her face was perfect instantaneously. Heaving a depressed sigh, she jumped on her hoverboard and flew out the door.
Outside she noticed that her hovercar, which had so 'conviniently' been programmed to drive off at exactly 5:50 to make the portal in time, had left. As usual. Putting her board on full speed, she eventually caught up with her car as it swerved crazily down the spacetime tunnels. So the reason school starts so early is because the careless programed cars can avoid accidents.
