Hannah's POV

I rolled over to the piercing beeping noise of my alarm, hitting the top of it to turn it off. It was Friday, thankgod I can have a lie in tomorrow!! I pulled myself out of bed and went over to my window, opening the curtains and looking out. I dont know why, theres not a nice view, a few run down shops across the road, a group of boys already hanging about outside it, waiting for someone old enough to come along to ask them to buy them fags or alcohol, and alot of people do it, because theyre scared of them. Well Im never going to do it, ever. Everything just looks so grey where I live, one day id love to move to a nicer part of London, but like Ive said before this for now, will have to do!

I moved away from the window and went to have a shower and get washed, after this I got changed into my work clothes which consisted of a black skater skirt, tights, a smart blouse and a black turn up blazer, with some black brogues. I hated what I had to wear, Id much rather wear my converse, but I love my job so I deal with it! Once I was washed, dressed, hair and makeup done, I grabbed my bag checking I had my purse and travel card in it. I went out, double locking the door and walked to the nearest bus stop to get to the nearest train station. I do have a car, but its a very long way to go in my car, and I wouldnt have a clue where I was going, its easier and cheaper to get the train, so I do!

The school I work at is a small school near central London, I work from half eight till half twelve. The children there are really lovely, but then again, theyre only little and I think that about all little children (without sounding like some sort of perv!) After work, I usually go into central London, look at the shops, looking at stuff I could never afford (just like my dad told me.) But I always told myself one day, Id be able to afford this stuff and to never give up.

As the bus arrives, I go on, showing the driver my travel card. I sit right at the back in the corner and plug my headphones into my ipod and put them in my ears, and ive magically transported to my own little world and im happy.
