You were awoken by your alarm clock on a Monday morning, and groaned when the rays of sunlight hit your face.

"Ugh."

Pulling the covers more up and engulfing in the warmth, you turned and closed your eyes feeling drowsy and in need to go back to sleep-

"Manouk! Wake up! You don't want to be late for school now!"

Letting out another long groan, you yawned and squinted your eyes while taking your glasses off your nightstand and putting them on. After a lot of effort trying to stand up, because you were still quite sleepy, you went to the bathroom, did your job and went downstairs to go eat your breakfast.

"Good morning, dear." Your mother greeted you with a smile. You replied: "Morning, mum." and took a bite out of your sandwich.

"Did you sleep well?" Not really, you thought. You were up late again. But you of course didn't say that.

"Yeah." Taking the last sip of your drink, you stood up and went to put your shoes and jacket on.

"Oh, by the way mum, could you help me with taking out my bike?" But as you said that, you looked at the clock in horror. "Uh actually, no. I'd like to help you take out the car?" You grinned hopefully at your mom.

Your mother sighed. "You're lucky it's my day off. But you do know now what to expect when waking up late."

"Thank you! And yes, I do." You both hurried up to quickly get in the car to start it up.

The ride was surprisingly quiet. Normally there would've been someone to speak up, but you didn't mind it either way.
Looking out the window, you saw the people which you would usually cycle behind. You stuck your tongue out at them in what was supposed to be secret, but right that moment one of them looked at you. You immediately turned away and acted as if nothing ever happened

Suddenly, you heard a familiar beat play from the radio. You turned it up louder, and recognized the song in seconds.

"Young man! There's no need to feel down..."

Turning it up even louder, you said: "YASS, THIS IS MY JAM!"

You shamelessly began to dance and sing to the song, not giving a damn about the people that may have been staring at you from out of their cars.

"Manouk!" Your mother laughed at your silliness.

"It's fun to stay at the..."

"Y M C A!" You grabbed your mothers arm trying to make her dance with you.

"Oh- Manouk for god's sake, let me drive!" As you looked at her slightly annoyed expression, you got the idea of letting her go.

Shrugging your shoulders afterwards, you continued dancing and singing to the song.

"Now Manouk. If anyone is bothering you, all you have to do is walk away, but not before beating their a-"
