I Woke up at 7:30. It was so bright in my room. I must have forgot to close the blinds last night.

I was up last night studying. And I didn't want to get up. I wanted to lie in bed and dream. Dream about what life would be like if I was popular.

I got out of bed and looked at myself in the mirror. My brown hair was messy. My eyes were blue, like they are every morning.

I walked into the bathroom and cooled off in the cold shower. I was all sweaty. I loved showers. They were my thinking place.

I dressed myself in denim shorts, a casual white T-shirt and my black Vans.

I made myself a cup of coffee, and walked out to my balcony. Every morning I'd see a boat or two sailing around. Everyday it'd be a different one. Today it was a white speed boat with the word Benny on it in pink join writing.

I only just got this apartment last year, after I joined college. I absolutely hated the girl I shared my dorm room with. She'd bring a new guy home every night so I ended up sleeping on my friends floor, instead of hearing off putting noises all night.

I got into my cheap little car. I drove with the windows down. Summer in Australia was hot.

I'm originally English but my family moved here when my dad was employed overseas.

I parked outside my college in the parking lot and pulled my mirror down and did my makeup.

I grabbed my backpack and swung it over my shoulder. I walked to my first class. Ecology.

It was a long hour of the professor talking. Professor Hamilton purposely changed his tone a lot to gain people's attention. He'd go from loud to soft to angry to quiet.

He was messed up in his head and I would be lying if I said I didn't jump more than once.

When that lecture finally finished, I decided to grab some lunch. I decided to take a different rout around the college and see if there were any other restaurants apart from fast food joints.

As I was walking I stopped at a cheap looking joint. "Margaret's". It was a little place. The walls were made of brick.

An older lady walked up to me. "Just yourself?" She asked. I nodded, looking around at everyone. The place smelt like cigarettes and alcohol and I straight away regretted coming here.

"This table okay?" She placed an old damaged menu down on the table. In response I sat down. I believe she understood what that meant because she soon left me alone.

I looked at everyone here. They looked like the motorbike, trouble maker type of people. They were mostly all young and most boys wore leather jackets.

I recognised a group of boys from school.

The popular boys. The man-whores. The try-hard girls. At this point I was ready to get up and go but that old waitress came back.

"Can I get you anything." She attempted to ask but came out like more of a I-don't-give-a-crap-what-you-want-to-get tone.

"Uh yeah." I looked at the menu and got the first thing that popped up. "The tofu salad." I told her without realising what it was. She gave me a knowing look.

"Look darl' that stuff tastes nasty. What about something like this?" She pointed to a porterhouse stake. I laughed and shook my head.

"Your right about the salad. But wrong about the stake." I Laughed again. I looked at the menu again. "How about this. Chicken schnitzel with ham and cheese?" I asked.

She nodded and put it down on the piece of paper.

"Shouldn't be long." The lady said then walked away.

I looked at the group of boys people again. Some girl with bleached blonde hair was sitting on a boy's lap while making out with him.

"Niall!" I heard someone call from the door. I looked in the direction of the voice. A pretty girl stood in the door way. She was wearing a black net belly-top with a black singlet underneath. Black leather mini shorts and flat knee-high boots. Her makeup was minimal although you could see her bright red lipstick.

She ran over to a tall masculine man with blonde hair. I watched as they exchanged hugs. I bet they're together. But then I saw her run over to a boy with curly hair and kiss him.
