Fallen

2

We arrive in London after a couple of hours, I'm so tired I just want to sleep, will unpack tomorrow. "So... do you like it?" mom looked at me with a smile and asked. I stood there, looking at the huge apartment that apparently belonged to us, my new home. It looked more like a block if flats to me than a single apartment. "There must be so many rooms", I thought. I looked at my mom and gave her a nod before I walked in to the house.

I am so tired all I want to do is find a room that I  like and sleep. "You can choose any room you like honey" dad says with a smile. I walk up the stairs, looking at the wall and the art on it. It looked more creepy than nice. All painted in dark colors and with no meaning. "artists", I think and give a tired mental laugh.

I find this room that is just big enough for all of my things and more, maybe staying here won't be so bad. I look out of my window to see the city, it looks so beautiful.

I end up falling asleep with my clothes on.

"ring...." I heard a disturbing noise I hated hearing every morning. "God... who invented these things?" I moaned half asleep and half awake, irritated. I slowly drag my lazy body out of bed to turn off the clock that was on top of my side table, I know it's not that far but for someone like me it's all the way around the world.

Finally it's off. Now I can sleep five more minutes. "Wait... I've got school today" I jumped out of bed and quickly checked the time, "phew... 06:00" I was relieved to know that I was not late, in fact I was a bit early. I got ready, faster than usual... call it the fear of being late on your first day. I couldn't eat anything so I took an apple to make my mom happy and she quickly forgot the fact I ate nothing and let me leave.

I got into my car, it's an SUV, black. I love big cars. It used my mom's so when she got a new car she gave me her old car and I was only too happy to take it, I always loved that car. I left extra early because I was not exactly sure of where my school was.

I had a map and my GPS so it shouldn't be that hard to find. "At the next stop, turn right" my GPS kept saying and I followed it for about ten minutes till I realized I was back where I started, right at my house's gate. "urgh... you are not helping" I shouted to the machine which kept saying, "At the next stop, turn right". Took me a few seconds to realise that the stupid thing was broken.

"I'm not being late on my first day... no way" I thought to myself. I decided to use the map, much easier. I read out the street name, trying to find where I was. "Ooh found it" I chuckled as I saw my street in the map. "Now where is school?" I located my school on the map and decided to follow the road. I was so concentrated on the street names that I almost crashed into a jogger.
