The music teacher (a MIKA fanfic)

1

The sun shone into my room and lit up the wall next to my face.

It was 6:33 in the morning and my alarm was going mad and playing music at an extreme volume into my ear.

I groaned as I stretched and then turned off my alarm to get comfortable in the bed again. The usual routine.

Today was the first day of school after the summer and I was ready to sleep again but I knew that I had to force myself to get going so I pried myself off of the bed in an attempt to start my day.

I threw my clothes on sloppily, trying my hardest to keep my eyes open for more than 3 seconds at a time but I soon found myself splashing my face with water.

I was awake.

I spent a few minutes in the bathroom to at least make myself look presentable for my new teachers.

Yay. New teachers. My favourite.

I hated having to get to know so many new teachers and having to learn things their way. It sucked.

Once I was completely ready to go, I put my music on and put my headphones in as I shouted "BYE" up to my still sleeping mum and closes the door.

Siting at the bus stop, I watched all the people go by in their smart clothes and snazzy cars. That would be me one day, off to the recording studios to record my new album.

"Where have all the gay guys gone?" Asked MIKA through my earphones.

'I don't know' I thought in response.

I remembered this happening the previous year when my friends would sit at the bus stop next to me and talk while I sat and listened to MIKA, oblivious to their conversation because I was purposefully blocking out the world.

The bus came and I got on. I sat on my own. The friends that would have sat with me have all moved to other schools so they could walk rather then get multiple busses and left me to fend for myself.

Thinking about how I would probably stay in the music rooms the whole year, I nearly missed my stop but looked up in time to trudge off down the road to school.

Great start this has been.
