(FIRST PERSON POV)

6:00AM

The blaring sound or my alarm hit my ears. The sound I hate, the sound I dread to hear that wakes me from my dreams. My dreams I wish were real.

I sigh and hit the snooze button, shoving my head into the pillow. I don't wanna get up. Not now. I don't wanna go to school. I Just want to lay here, right now.  After what only seemed like a few seconds, my 10 minutes is up and my alarm blares once again. I softly groan and finally rip myself from my comfy bed, rubbing my eyes. The first thing I do is shut off my alarm for good, I don't wanna listen to it anymore. 

I drag my way to my bathroom, it's connected to my bathroom. I force myself to look and the mirror and my eyes attention are immediately drawn to my bedhead. I sigh, once again, and pick up my brush, that seems so heavy. I don't wanna live like this anymore. I brush out the knots in my hair, slowly turning my hair into the straight, long brunette hair it usually looks like, Instead of a hot mess. I make my way back into my room to get dressed.

I check my phone first, my eyes first notice a good morning text from my best friend, Yeju. I smile as I unlock my phone and answer her. I put down my phone and walk to my closet, slowly sliding the door open and glancing at my clothes, searching for my uniform that consists of a black skirt, white blouse, a black tie, and a darker, beige jacket. Once I lay my eyes on it, I pull it off the hanger and get dressed, finally starting to wake up. I go back to the bathroom, putting my hair into a braid with loose strands in the front.

Once I'm ready, I put on very light school makeup, concealer, puppy eyeliner, blush, mascara, lipgloss. Our school allows us to do some, as long as it isn't too much, or distracting to others. I grab my phone, and my bag, and make my way downstairs. I don't bother eating much, I'm trying to lose weight. I lay my bag and phone down on the counter and start to chop up a few strawberries and a banana, and snack on them fior my breakfast. I pack a small lunch, as well. A little of meat and rice, pretty simple. 

After I cut them up, I can tell by the lack of cigarette stench that my dad is still sleeping. I'm glad, though. I don't want to deal with him, anyway. He'll only yell at me for the most obnoxious and unreasonable things. I grab my phone,  I know it hasn't been long. My lockscreen reads, "6:32". After being confused for a moment, I rmember I snoozed my alarm, making me 10 minutes later than usual. I shove a peice of strawberry in my mouth as I scroll online for a few minutes, but not long.

Once it hits 6:40, I shove the last few peices of fruit into my mouth and  put my fish into the sink. I grab my bag and phone, and head for the door. I slip on my bdark brown shoes over my shear, white knee high stockings, A part of my uniform, of course. I put my phone in my jacket pocket as I open the door, locking it before I shut it. I know my dad forgets that sometimes. I slowly walk to the bus stop, still slightly tired.

As I approach, My eyes lock on Yeju, sitting on her phone as she waits for me. I smile big and sneak up behind her, yelling "BOO!" Behind her. She jumps and whispers a swear under her breath. It makes me giggle. She's only a few months older than me. I just turned 14, my birthday is December 23rd, hers is August 7th. And we just got back from Christmas break. I smile at My success of scaring her and Stand beside her.

"Whatcha' doing after school?" Yeju questions me, in reality, I don't want to tell her, but I know I can't lie, she'll know if I do. And then she'll beat me up for it. Aish.... 

"Dancing." I reply. I'm not looking at her, but I know that she rolled her eyes. She just thinks that I dance as a hobby. She doesn't know the real reason, the reason I'm in chorus and am so dedicated to my dancing and singing skills,  like I have been for almost 2 years. She sighs, I know she wants to hang out, but I can't today.
