I rolled over to trying to cover my ears from the constant beeping from my alarm clock. But it was no help, I got up turned my alarm off. I looked at the clock it said 7:24am, I quickly got dressed. I was so exhausted I barley got any sleep last night. I unplugged my phone and went downstairs to make something to eat. I opened the fridge and grabbed a banana and walk to the Tv. I always like watching Tv before school.

"Sam, come on we're gonna be late" my mom called down stairs where I was eating. I turned off the Tv and ran upstairs. I grabbed my bag and ran to the car where my mom and older brother were. I sat in the back, I wanted to sleep on the way to school, but I know I couldn't. When we got to school I went to my locker and put my books in my bag, the hallway was packed. I started walking to my class when my friend Ben ran up to me "Hey how are you?" "I'm okay I haven't been sleeping lately I don't know why" I said "Oh well you know there pills online you can buy" he said. I didn't think taking pills to help me sleep was okay, but I haven't been sleeping for days. "I'll try them but they will take days to get here and I haven't been sleeping" I said "Here have mine there's 150 in a bottle, you take one before you go to bed" he handed me the bottle and went to class. "Thanks" I yelled. I was so excited to try the pills tonight.

After school I was waiting outside with my brother for our mom to pick us up. It was starting to rain, I could feel the ran drops on my head, I always loved it when it rains. I saw our mom pull up we quickly got in. "How was school?" She asked. I didn't want to tell her about the pills knowing it would get Ben in trouble.
"It was ok" I said as rolling down the window.

When we got home I ran up to my room and put the pills in my bedside table. I went back down stairs and put my bag by the door. I went back up to my room and jumped on the bed I grabbed my laptop and signed on. I opened up Google Chrome and googled Sleeping Pills. Apparently it's actually called Proticaltally it's means astro projection, which is willful out-of-body experience. After reading more I got excited. I looked over at my clock it read 7:53pm I knew my parents went to bed. I turned off my laptop and grabbed the pills and I went downstairs to the basement I saw my brother asleep by his computer, I didn't want to wake him.
I sat down on the couch in the basement and I took out the pills.

I put one in my mouth, and I got into a comfy spot. I closed my eyes. My body twitched. I opened my eyes I was on the floor beside the couch. I must've fallen off of it. The pills didn't work! I was so mad I turned around and I jumped. It was me, I saw myself on the couch. Then I realized the pills did work.
I was in a dream!
