Of finals and sleep deprivation

Just 5 minutes

"The formula for x is..."  I was cut off by my eyelids drooping.

"Gahhh!" I groaned and banged my head against my pillow.

I rubbed my hands over my face in stress and I choked a sob.

I need to sleep but I can't! Not with the test I have tomorrow! I stare at my room as a feeling of numbness spread all over me.

I felt my entire body relaxing and I- NO!
I shot up from my bed.

I need to study!

Maybe a walk would help me wake up? 

I paced around the room, my book in my hands. I passed my mirror and saw myself.

I had a frown on my face, huge dark circles, and pimples all over me. I groaned and threw a towel on my face then proceeded to faceplant myself onto my bed.

I haven't been doing any skincare or care of any sort since the finals started.

I frankly don't care if I'm ugly as long as I pass this cursed test.

I groaned, my pillow muffling it. I felt my eyes water slightly. What am I going to do?

Harvard has been my dream school ever since I was little, I knew there'd be obstacles on my way there but I didn't expect it to be this hard!

I'm still in middle school!

I looked at the time. It said 4 am.

I sighed once more knowing my school starts at 7. Should I pull an all-nighter? I thought.

I looked at my bed and I have never seen anything so appetizing and comfortable.

I just need 5 minutes.

I hopped on the bed and snuggled myself with a thick white blanket, the temperature was freezing so the blanket immediately gave me the warmth I longed for.

I rested my head on the pillow as my eyelids began getting heavier and heavier.

'5 minutes' I muttered before promptly falling into a deep slumber.
