「起きてる？」うなずきながら時計を見ると、いつもよりもやや遅かった。
“Oki teru?” Unazukinagara tokeiwomiru to, itsumo yori mo yaya osokatta.
I looked at the watch while nodding “Am I awake?”, it was a bit later than usual.
ヤバいと思いながらも、着替えの制服をぼんやりと見つめ、二度時計を見た。
Yabai to omoinagara mo, kigae no seifuku wo bonyari to mitsume, nido tokei o mita.
Although I thought I was in trouble, I stared blankly at the uniform and looked at the watch again.
もう八時だった。
Mou hachi-ji datta.
It was already 8 o’clock.
Body
急いで一階に行くと、母は妹を小学校に送るために、いなかった。
Isoide ikkai ni iku to, haha wa imouto wo shougakkou ni okuru tame ni, inakatta.
When I went hurriedly to the first floor, my mother wasn’t there because she sent my younger sister to the elementary school.
急いで朝ごはんのお餅を食べ、ESOLの宿題の本読みを済ませ、歯磨きをしに二階へ戻った。
Isoide asa gohan no o mochi wo tabe, ESOL no shukudai no honyomi wo sumase, hamigaki wo shi ni ni-kai e modotta.
I ate rice cakes for breakfast quickly, finished reading ESOL’s homework and returned to the second floor to brush my teeth.
学校は始まる時刻が遅いから、家は八時四十五分に出る。
Gakkou wa hajimaru jikoku ga osoikara, ie wa hachiji yonjuugo fun ni deru.
Because the school starts late, I leave home at 8:45.
コミュニティーセンターでバスが来るのを待ち、押し合いながらも何とか席に付くと、とても危ないアメリカ人の運転で学校まで行く。
Komyunitiisentaa de basu ga kuru no wo machi, oshi ainagara mo nantoka seki ni tsuku to, totemo abunai amerikahito no unten de gakkou made iku.
I wait for the bus at the community center, I get to the seat while jostling, then I go to school with the very dangerous driving of an American driver.
ドライバーの人に「ありがとう。」と言いながらバスを下りると、友達が集まって話している。

This group is called ESOL and it includes people who can’t speak English yet.
キューバやブラジル、コロンビアなどから来ている人が多く、逆にアジア人は私一人だけだ。
Kyuuba ya Burajiru, Koronbia nado kara kite iru hito ga ooku, gyaku ni Ajia hito wa watashihitori dakeda.
There are many people from Cuba, Brazil, Colombia and so on. Conversely, I am the only Asian.
だけど、世間話をするのは、学校の中で一番楽しい事だから、いつも楽しみにしている。

Jugyou ga owaru to isoide jibun no basu ga doko ni tomatte iru no ka wo sagasanakereba naranai.
When the class is over, I must find where my bus stops hurriedly.
何故早くしなくてはならないのかというと、最後の授業の先生は意地悪で、なかなか私達を解放してくれないからだ。
Naze hayaku shinakute wa naranai no ka to iu to, saigo no jugyou no sensei wa ijiwaru de, nakanaka watashitachi wo kaihou shite kurenaikarada.
The reason why I must do it quickly is that the teacher in the class is unkind, he won’t release us easily.
無事、コミュニティーセンターに帰ってくると、いつもは迎えに来てくれない母が、珍しく「暑いから。」という理由で来ていた。
