The noise of the alarm shattered through my few hours of sleep. Like clockwork, I switched it off and started my day.

Sleep was an experience I rarely got between school and practice. But I can't complain, it's all part of the high school life.

Whatever really. If waking up early for practice is what it takes for me to become the star I always wanted to be, then that's what I'll do. I'm not going to let some baggy eyes get in the way of what I want.

The name's Alex, Alex Leren, in case you were wondering. Call me what you want - attention seeker, jerk, brat, selfish. I don't care. This isn't a confession. This is my road to success. And I won't let ANYTHING bring me down.
