Jordan's POV

It's the one week holiday we get every October in England and I'm meant to be studying but instead I'm surfing on the Internet. No surprise there.
I'm always in my room, unless I'm hungry I go downstairs to get food, otherwise I'm in my room listening to music whether that's k-pop, hip pop, R&B, or Bollywood music. That was the kind of person I was and all day I would be on the Internet going on Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat, like a normal teenager. However my life was hard to deal with. So many problems came my way and my fears got in the way of many opportunities that I got offered. Now that sucked because I was a shy person and I was scared to talk in public.
Everytime I had to deliver a presentation, I would shut down and then there was personal issues like problems at home. There's so many things to deal with and handle at the same time but somehow I cope with it. I don't know how I do it but I manage.
I see myself as a strong individual but put myself away from the public. That may be weird but sometimes I like to not be associated with the world and the people in it.

Suddenly I hear my mother calling me to come downstairs for lunch which stops my thoughts. I sign and get off my bed and make my way to the kitchen. I make my way down wearing a top and grey joggers with my hair in a bun.
"I don't want to eat" I say walking up to my mum.
"No, you have to eat" my mother replied and I knew I had no way off getting away with this. So she handed my food and I accepted and made my way to the living room. My two sisters and brothers were already eating their lunch. My littler brother who's 9 is sitting on the dinning table that is placed in the living room, whilst the others are sitting on the sofa. I hold my plate in my hand and make my way to the sofa and sit down on the spare seat. My tiredness overcomes me and when I'm tired, I don't feel the need to eat so I kinda struggled eating my lunch. I eat half of it and throw the rest in the bin. I wash my plate and hands and make my way back to my without talking to anyone. I shut the door and get back to my bed and pick up my iPad and continue scrolling through my social media accounts.
Now this was mostly my day to day routine unless if I have homework I do it the night before (which isn't really good) but I do it anyway.

I should be studying for my upcoming exams as I'm in year 11 now, which is my final years of high school. I tell myself that I want to smash my exams but then I question myself because I never get myself to revise. I've always been a lazy person and that's one thing I've hated about myself. So to prevent myself from being lazy (only a bit) I sometimes stay after school and revise because I know there's no chance of me revising at home.

So during the holidays, most teenagers go on holidays, whether that's with friends or family. Or they may go out to hang out with their friends. Well that's not me. I'm the kind of person to stay at home and chill, watch movies and eat all day. Sometimes I think I have a really boring life not going to lie. But that's life.

The sun starts to go down and that's a sign of a autumn. The day gets shorter and it gets darker sooner. Autumn has always been my favourite season with the leaves changing colours and the cold days and nights. It's 6pm and it's relevantly dark and I think about my future. This may be weird to some people but I wonder if I will ever succeed in life and reach my goals. I've always wanted to help people so I want to work in the medical field and along that, hopefully I can work with refugees. I strongly believe that doing good will also mean good comes your way. Also, purely because I try to put myself in other people's shoes (which gives me a sense of how they're feeling) which encourages me to be what I want to be. So this is why I want to do something in life that gives me the opportunity to help people. But hey, fingers crossed I'll reach my goals and become the person I've always wanted to be.

The clock ticks and dinner is due. I make my way down the carpeted brown stairs and see some Chinese takeaway on the table. I grab a plate and fill it with food and the good think about me is that I can eat so much and not gain weight because of my low metabolism. I finish after a while and put the tv on to watch my programmes. I only watch one or two soaps on the tv, other than that, I don't really turn the tv on. However I do go on Netflix and watch my favourite shows which include, The Walking Dead and Prison Break. I use to watch The Vampire Diaries but stopped after Elena died and I use to watch Teen Wolf but I stopped watching that as well for some odd reason.

Tonight, The Walking Dead comes on and I couldn't be more excited. I finally get to find out who dies but I'm a bit scared to find out because hopefully it's not one of my favourite characters. Fingers crossed. There's only two more hours till it airs in Britain and the excitement is unreal.

A/N - hope you guys enjoyed! Watch out for part two!
