BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

All I'm asking for is five more minutes of sleep, grant me that much. I fumble around for the snooze button on the side of my time-worn alarm clock, I'm surprised it's lasted 10 years already. Hard to believe how quickly time flies, last time I checked I was a twelve year old going to high school for the first time. Well then again, it was dark outside last time I checked, aaaand now it's not...
17 rip old years of age and they still expect me to get up this early to go to school. Kill me now.

The sun streams through the crack in my curtains, temporarily blinding me as I hoist myself out of bed. I felt a shiver shoot up my spine as my toes made contact with the cold wood floor, whatever happened to central heating? That's a bit above my price range I think.

Geez, I'm starting to sound like mom. Or... how she...

Used to sound.
