Buzzzzz. Mnnnnn. Buzzzzz. Mnnnnnn.

I groggily opened my eyes.

I waited for the hazeyness to fade away and the black dots to float to the side of my vision so that I could see a blurry alarm clock vibrating on my desk.

"Urrrrgh." I moaned out loud and rolled back onto my pillows and buried my face into them.

It was still going off.

My mum didn't lie then, I was meaning to set an alarm myself because I didn't like the rush yesterday, but yesterday turned out unpredictably and the day's events distracted me.

I'm glad she set off an alarm but I was hoping that 99 more of them wouldn't start going off like she said they would.

I lay there trying to ignore it but I couldn't so I rolled over again and dragged myself up into a sitting position.

I opened my eyes again and blinked a few times to try and see the digits on the clock.

6:34am, she must have set it for half-past.

I edged myself to the end of the bed and lifted my self up. I let the sudden dizziness wash over me and staggered over to the clock. I whacked it on snooze and sighed in relief from the silence. I then turned it off until tomorrow morning so it doesn't keep going off this morning.

I was about to move it to my bedside table but I knew that I would just press snooze and fall back asleep, but having it on my desk makes me wake up and get up to turn it off. I left it where it was.

I realised that I had time for exercise and a shower so I planned my morning. I exercise until 6:55, jump in the shower and wash my hair, get changed, pack my bag, go downstairs and... Oh. I forgot, Louis' lift. And finally wait for Louis. Lets go!

I did double the amount of press ups than yesterday and I managed to do all of my sit-ups and pull-ups too. I was panting but I felt satisfied and proud of myself.


I then walked to the bathroom with my boxers and closed the door and lock it. I flicked the shower on so that it could warm up whilst I stripped down and climbed in.

I let the warm water drip down my aching body before I started soaping up. As I was washing my hair with shampoo I could hear a distant knocking.

"Harry are you up?! I set you an alarm clock!! Get up now, Harry! I am not having a repeat of yesterday!"

"I'm in here mum!!" I shouted loudly so that she could hear me through the rooms. I struggled with the soap suds as I had one eye squinted open and my head out of the running water so that I could hear my mum better.

"Oh well done Harry!" Her voice sounded much closer now like she was outside of the door.

"Will you be down in time for a brew if I stick the kettle on now?".

"Errrrm." I reply, knowing that I wouldn't be.

"It's ok if you aren't, I don't mind having two this morning." She chuckled.

"Thanks mum!".

"Take your time petal, you have more time than yesterday but keep an eye on your clock ok?"

"Ok mum!" I shout over the water and I didn't get a reply so I guessed that she went.

I washed the shampoo out and turned the shower off. Sliding the glass door open, I grabbed a towel and wrapped it around my waist. I then stood out onto the towel on the floor and reached for another which I wrapped into a turban for my hair.

I quickly brushes my teeth and then hand dried my hair with the towel and continued to dry my body. I changed into my boxers, hung the towels back up, unlocked he door and headed to my room. I reached my wardrobe but caught a glance of myself in the mirror.
