*krrrrriiiiiiiiingggg* *krrrrriiiiiingggg*
I opened my eyes and quickly got out of my bed. I'm such a sleepyhead! Ugh. If it wasn't for the dozens of project I'm doing. I wouldn't be late for class. It's 7:45 am and class starts at 8!
I took a quick shower. I couldn't imagine myself preparing this fast. I went straight to the stairs and heard something. *krrriiiiinggg*.
What the heck! *facepalm*.
I forgot to turn off my alarm clock! Nevermind, I'll just tell mom to turn it off. I continued walking down the stairs.
Whoa.
Strange. It's already 7:50 am. Why is the living room so dark? Hmm. Maybe mom is still asleep. Pretty unusual. Mom wakes up at exactly 5:30 am and goes to the market. By now, she would've prepared breakfast already.
I walked straight to mom and dad's room. I suddenly noticed something. I went to look at the window.
Holy crap! It's dark!
I heard the door opening. I saw mom still in her pajamas. Yawning and looking at me curiously. "Honey, why are you dressed up already? It's just 4:00 am. Is your sched new? Oh. You look completely miserable. No offense!". She lifted her hands as If I'm arresting her. Wait, what? "It's just 4:00 am"
"It's just 4:00 am" "
It's just 4:00 am".
My jaw dropped.
"Are you serious mom? My alarm clock was set-" I didn't continue what I was saying. I ran to my room and saw my alarm clock set at 3:30 am.
I forgot to set my alarm clock! How silly of me. Now I have 3 more hours to prepare. Good thing I finished all my projects. But, I don't know what to do in 3 hours. Maybe I should Sleep? Eat? Stare at the ceiling? I'm so confused.
I ended up in the living room. Sitting patiently. I remembered my dream. I couldn't imagine mom and dad arguing. No. No. That's Impossible. They love each other. I can see it. Maybe my dream was just making fun of me. Making me overthink things.

I was walking my way to school while listening to some music. Music lights up my mood. It's the only way I could escape reality. I was dancing to the beat when someone just punched me in my shoulder. I quickly took off my earphones. "What's your problem?!" I said without looking to the person who punched me. "Hey, Azalea! It's me, Farah!". The voice was familiar to me. I quickly turned around. But I was too late, she hugged me tight.
"Uh. Can you let go now? I can't breathe".
"Oh. Haha! Sorry, I just missed you so much".
I studied her face. I looked at her from head to toe. Hmm. Farah. I can't remember her although she was familiar to me. "Farah Fawn" she said. Smiling at me.
After realizing who she was. I quickly hugged her. How I missed my childhood bestfriend! They moved out when we were 13 years old. I guess she requested to come back here instead of abroad. She was spoiled anyway. She was my partner-in-crime. She always looked beautiful. Long hair, pointed nose, tall, blue eyes. She looked more beautiful now that she's mature.
"Uhm. I guess now I'm the one who can't breathe now" she chuckled. "Azalea, you look gorgeous! You changed. A lot."
I think she's just referring to herself. "Oh come on farah! Don't fool me. We all know that you're the one who's the miss universe" I winked at her. I noticed she's wearing a uniform. Same as mine. "I guess, we're going to school together?" farah asked.
I nodded. "Yeah, and you have a lot of stories to tell."
