bzzz... bzz...

"mmfhm...?" i open my eyes slowly. dim light from the morning sky filling my room. i stretch and turn off the ringing alarm on my phone, then pull the covers over my shoulders. i look out the half-closed curtains of my room from my bed. it's raining today, huh? i thought, it seems to only ever rain nowadays. It's kinda strange though, May usually has pretty nice weather, doesn't it..? Sigh, i could really use a sunny day, right about now... i turn to my side and stare blankly at nothing. so many thoughts racing in my mind, yet i can't recall a single one.

it's 6:30 am and my eyelids start to feel heavy again. i have to get to school for my class in an hour, but i am not in any shape to go today.

in fact, i haven't attended classes for almost a month now. i can't bear to go back to that place... not like this... not alone...

i shake my head and try to think of something else. i turn around and search for a plushie in my blankets. within the mess of blankets i grab a little cat plush, it had soft white and blue fabric, with a cute little sewn face. i lay on my side and look at it. i smile. tears start filling my eyes without me realizing it. i close my eyes and shakingly sigh. i pull the covers over my head and hug the cat plush tightly. i slowly fall asleep again, hoping i don't have the same tormenting dream as all the previous nights.
