*BEEP* *BEEP*

I woke up in a bit of a daze and a bit confused. I looked out the window, and I couldn't see any sunlight. My alarm was still going on so I shut it off, and that's when I realized it was only 3am.

"Ah! What the hell! It's only three. I don't wake up until six." I whined into my pillow.

I lied back down on my side, and attempted to go back to sleep. I lied in bed for a couple more minutes, but I couldn't go back to sleep. So, I got back up, and decided that I should probably go get ready for school. It was the first day of school, and I need to look my best. School is a place of escape for me. Unlike most people, where they would rather escape school. I wasn't particularly a nerd, but I do well in school.

I went to my bathroom to turn on my straightener, and then I went back to my bedroom to pick out my outfit. Should I choose the blue and white V-neck with the white skirt, or my red long shirt with my jeans. I couldn't make-up my mind so I decided to mix them, my blue and white v-neck with my jeans. I put on my clothes, then I returned to my bathroom to do my hair. I looked in the mirror at my long brown hair, and my grey eyes. Then, I decided to curl my hair. It took me 30 minutes to do my hair, but I had plenty of time to waste. When I finished I looked at my clock. It read 3:56am. Ugh, I still have another four hours till I actually leave for school. I decided to kill some time watching T.V. I walked to my parents to see if they were in. I poked my head into their room, but like usual, they weren't home. They usually don't even come home at night. I sighed and went to out entertainment room, and put in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2.

I watched the entire move, and when I finished it was 6:10am. I went into my kitchen to make breakfast for me, and my parents. My parents usually come back home till after I leave. I took out eggs and bacon out for my parents, and cooked them. When I finished I covered it, and wrote a little note on it saying that it was for them. I took out a Breakfast Hot Pocket for me, and heated it up. I watched some Spongebob for the rest of my time.

The next time I looked at the clock it was 7:45am. I decided that it was early enough to leave. It would be good to get to school before it gets crazy, because the first day and the last day of school are always the most hectic. I went and got my phone and keys and I left to school. I turned on my radio and channeled it to a station showing a song I like. I stopped when I got to a station showing, "You Make Me Feel". I only lived ten minutes away from my school.

When I got to school the student parking lot was still pretty empty. Thank god! The kids at my school are really stupid. One time a kid tried learning to drive a standard car in our school parking lot, and he ended up running over a kid and ramming into another car. The kid lived, but he was paralyzed. Too bad, because he was in our schools Cross Country team.

I got out of my car and entered my school. I went to our gym to go pick up my schedule.

Class Teacher Room Number

1. AP Calculus AB Andi, Sherrie F211

2. Honors English 11 Silva, Ping D112

3. Play Productions Christmas, Caren E114

4. AP Sociology Sheets, William J203

Yes, I got every class I wanted! I was so excited, but I won't have any of my friends in my classes. They all wanted to take easy classes. They also aren't here today. They have a thing where they skip the first day of school. They tried to convince me to do it, but my morals are just too high to do such a thing.

So, I walked to my first period. It was upstairs, and was in the very first hall. When I went into the classroom it was just me, and the teacher. She didn't greet me, so I just took a seat. One by one kids started to fill up the seats, most of the kids being Seniors. The day was just like any other first day of school. We introduced ourselves, and did little games to get to know each other. I was in the middle of my second period when I thought of it. Why did my Alarm go off so early? I remember clearly setting it to 6am. Is somebody messing with me? No, nobody could be. Nobody was in the house except for me. Unless . . . no, that's too creepy to think about. Maybe I'm just over thinking this. It was probably just an electrical problem, and my alarm clock just went off by accident. I just need to get this out of my head.

You'd think such a small thing would be pretty easy to forget about. Well, it wasn't. I kept on thinking about it all day. I thought about it everyday, everyday until Sunday. When I got some of the worst news of my life . . .
