"Hhhhaaaamnnnn" I slowly pried my eyes open and rolled onto my side.
"whaa-aa what tiime is it?"

I forced my hand out from under the covers where it was ravaged by an unforgiving heat. Forced back into the safety of my den I slowly regained my composure.

After a moment I got a glimpse of the outside world.. "It's much too bright" ... Wait? If it's bright outside then.. No school today!

I did normally get myself up for school but when I didn't my mom did. If she didn't, than I was probably bunking which I was okay with because I normally only missed two or three days a term. All of this flew through my head in record time.

"eye"

And you hotel honey, I need you to cover bravo bacon.

"yes sir!"

When the bread was finally done in the pan I put it onto a plate. I then layed down the bacon on top of the bread, leisurely drizzled the honey, and sprinkled the cinnamon on top of the soft, warm toast. It was the absolute best breakfast I have ever had. And then my mom walked in.
