I wake up more tired than I was when I fell asleep. Even though I haven't eaten anything since yesterday's lunch, I am not hungry at all. I want to go back to sleep. What good is it being awake right now?
But not even a second after I close my eyes again, my alarm rings. For a moment, I think about just staying in bed. Who cares if I miss a day of school?
However, I soon remember that the only thing I've been looking forward to at school will happen today; someone who has lived through World War II is visiting our class during history. Besides, we would make plans with our band today for the end of the schoolyear, and I doubt Caden can handle the idiots on his own, no matter how good he is at it.
I decide to reset my alarm, making it go off in half an hour, and get as much rest as I can. My mind keeps wandering, refusing to simply let me think about happy things, calm things, normal things.
