The alarm blares, jolting me from my restless doze. With a weary huff, I sit up and rub the sleep from my eyes. The room is dim, but a faint light filtering in through the curtains illuminates the cramped space.

I stretched, wincing as my back pops in several places. Grumbling a soft curse, I clamber out of the narrow bed and stumble towards the bathroom.

The bathroom is cramped but clean. As I flick on the light, blinking as the brightness assaults my eyes. Looking in the mirror, I grimaced at my tousled hair and puffy eyes. Time to freshen up.

I wet a washcloth and run it over my face, groaning at the coolness on my skin. After a quick tooth-brushing, I run a few fingers through my hair, and it is good enough.

With the necessities taken care of, I shuffled out to the tiny kitchenette. The room is small but neat, with a microwave and mini-fridge taking up most of the counter space.

I opened the fridge and grabbed a carton of orange juice, drinking directly from the box. There's no time for pleasantries like a cup or a straw.As i finished the juice , I tossed the carton in the recycling bin before snatching my phone off the counter.

I glance at the time and tell me I'm  running late.

I muttered, curse under my breath as I grabbed my backpack from the floor next to the bed.

Shoes on, bag slung over mu shoulder, and I'm out the door, locking it behind me with a soft click.

As i take the stairs down to the ground floor, skipping every other step in their hurry. As I exited the building, i took a deep breath of the fresh morning air.

With the sun still low in the sky, the pavement is cool under my feet as I jog down the street. The school is just down the block, and I see my  friends up ahead.

I waved at them as I approached, calling out a greeting.

"Hey guys," I said, slightly out of breath.

They turned and makoto said with a laugh.

"There you are, sleepyhead."

I rolled my eyes at the nickname.

"Yeah, yeah, I overslept, alright? Give me a break. At least i wasn't watching porn all night, unlike you."

The group falls into step together, chatting and laughing as they walk towards the school.

We walked  towards the bustling school entrance. Other students are gathering around, some chatting with each other while others make a beeline for the building.

We continue our conversation, laughter, and friendly banter, filling the air. My head is still a bit fuzzy from sleep, but the energy of the morning is slowly waking me up.


And we reached the doors of the school, we bid our goodbyes. As we part ways, and i took  one last deep breath, mentally preparing myself for another day.

With the school bell echoing in the distance, I  push open the doors and steps into the whirlwind of the school day.
