Brrrrr....brr... I quickly switch off the alarm. Every single day I wake to this alarm and somewhat afraid to look at it and see if I have travelled back in time, "Not today, huh?" I rub my head while saying that. If I had told my parents about the whole 'restart' thing and what I've been doing the past couple of days, then I would have had my head examined by this time around. That's right, I didn't tell them. Well the conclusion that people might draw or typical thing to do might be to tell them but I believe it isn't. I'll explain but let me freshen up first.

I tidy up the bed, and go to the bathroom to brush my teeth, a lot of things going through my mind but I've got used to it and carry on brushing my teeth. I take a bath and go to the closet to get the uniform. I put on the uniform and I look myself in the mirror, I haven't combed, I grab my comb and do my hair. All done, "Honey, are you awake?"  Mom calls me to see if I'm awake,
"Yeah mom, I'm up."
"Then come down, breakfast is ready."
And as usual she's I'm the kitchen. If the time was gonna back again then I'd be repeating the same thing over and over again, which would mean I'd have to shower, do my hair and run to school a lot of times, which is a hassle. I go down the stairs and take a seat in the dining hall. After I've eaten, I grab my bag and take off to school. This is the schedule I follow mostly everyday and I'm not going to change it, for now.

There are about five days left till the day of Mr.Tobi's class on the new lesson or the 'restart'. I'm going to be extra careful these days because I want to observe the things that happen just before the occurrence. As I'm running to school, let me explain why I haven't told anyone about this, it's boring but essential. Think about it, it would be considered as you want others to know what you are going through but it's quite embarrassing and it affects the timeline. If I were to tell my parents, they might try to believe me but it's a chance I'd rather not take, if me saying about this to them affected their actions in any way, things would turn out different. My parents are there with me most of the time I'm home, so a small change might have a chance of ending up as a big change. Another reason is that, if I say about the whole thing to them and it doesn't 'restart', then they will have that memory with them forever. It might be hard to process, but what I'm saying is that I'm not taking that chance of telling others.

I slow down as I reach the point where we meet and I see TP standing there. His response is same as that of last time and we all walk to school together. The response of others is same and how they do things is the same, which means that they are experiencing this for the first time and I know this since I've been keeping the journal and unless I do anything different they don't react differently, so I ruled out the possibility of them being a victim of the 'restart'. We enter our respective classes and I take my seat. I stretch my arms, I stayed up late last night thinking about all the theories that I came up with and how only 5 days remain till the day of 'restart'.
