Beep! beep! beep! beep!

"Dammit! Won't that stupid alarm turn off!"

Fumbling to find the snooze button, my fingers finally brushed against the top of the small black alarm clock. But instead of delicately pushing the snooze button as a rational human being would do, my fingers curled into a tight fist, and smashed poor clock to sleep. Little did I know that would be a huge mistake.

About twenty minutes later, I felt myself floating off my comfy bed, slowly drifting out of my bedroom and into an unfamiliar place. My body stopped floating, and gently landed on a cold, wet surface. Wait.... cold and wet? The only place that's cold and wet is.....! Before I could finish my thought, freezing water splashed my face, and my eyes instantly tore open. Shaking my wet head side to side, I blindly reached out for the shower knob and turned off the cold water. Gasping for air, my eyes caught sight of my morning tormentor.

Howling away at me was none other than Stevie Reynolds, my best friend and next door neighbor. Before my anger got the best of me, I took in his features. His messy dark chocolate hair, his ocean blue eyes, and his angelic yet sinister smile... and then his body. My god the kid had it going for him! His tight black t-shirt couldn't hide his eight-pack, his biceps slightly ripped, but not too much, you know, like those guys pumped on steroids. I would continue but two things dawned on me: one being this is the same idiot who almost drowned me and two... was I just ogling over my best friend?!?

Finally, after what seemed like hours, I did the only sensible thing. I stomped on his new Jordan's and slammed the door in his face. Locking the bathroom door, I turned  the shower knob setting to a more pleasing temperature (steaming warm) and stripped out of my wet pajamas. Just as I was about to hop into the shower, the floor-length mirror caught my attention. Turning towards it, I looked closer to see a naked teenage girl staring at me. She had all the curves in all the right places, lovely dark chocolate hair that cascaded down from her head, stopping right under her breasts. Her face was a slight heart- shape, and still possessed some baby chubbiness. She had plump lips like a movie star's, calves that weren't too large, an adequate amount of "arm jiggle", and a beautiful but light six-pack. God she's gorgeous I thought. And I remembered the tragic truth: that girl is me. Most would think "TRAGEDY?!?! WHAT THE HELL IS SHE THINKING??" But do not worry, all will be explained in good time.

Moving on from the mirror moment, I slipped into the hot shower, washing away the night's grime and scrubbing on the day's newborn issues.

God I really hate the first day of school!!!
