Months in the past.
It was already morning? I rubbed my eyes as the slit in the curtains nearly blinded me. Beside my bed, the alarm chirped irritatingly.
Why did I have to choose such an awful alarm? Why did I have to stay up so late last night?
The answers were rather simple, it had been scientifically proven, by me, that very few sounds were powerful enough to free me from the grasps of sleep. As for the reason for my late bedtime, I had just gotten a new video game and by the time I checked the alarm clock last night, it was already three am.
I lay back in bed, eyes barely open, the rest of my body still tucked into my warm bed sheets. That awful sound continued to wash over me and finally my body moved a little as I groaned heavily.
Maybe it was okay to skip school, just for one day.
It was a thought I had nearly every morning and I never acted on it. Besides I had a test today and I could not afford to miss it.
