My alarm clock is so annoying. It wakes me up at all the wrong times. 1:00 in the morning is too early. Oh well. I can hear dad stomping upstairs to yell at me for my alarm clack that he said was, " 'perfect for boys your age.' "Ethan Holt why is your alarm clock always going off at 1:00!?" he roared.

I shrugged.

"Fix it or I will shave that bush of a head you have!" he screamed. I heard mom yawning in the other room downstairs.

I forgot to mention, I have super long hair that is down to my nose.

Dad seemed to get really worried like every morning when mom wakes up, because when she isn't very awake, she is very cranky.

"Gavner who are you talking to?" my mom yelled from downstairs. My dad's name is Gavner. Its pretty cool I guess.

"Nothing sweetheart just turning off Ethan's alarm clock," dad called back, trying to sweet talk mom.

Dad turned off my alarm clock and walked downstairs, cursing to himself softly.

I got out of bed and brushed my hair. There was no need for getting dressed, I always sleep in my clothes. I brush my teeth get my stuff together and put on my shoes.

Time for school. As I'm walking out the door my dog trips me. Bloody dog! It fails to notice I am leaving.

Finally Sam comes to walk to school with me. She is wearing her beanie, like always.

"How are you?" she asks once I say hi.

"Great," I say sartasticly

Sam laughs. "What happened today?"

"Well, dad is mad because my alarm clock went off, then I tripped over a very annoying dog."

"This is gonna be a great day for you, aye?"

"Aye, I'm sure it is."
