*Esmerelda*
I hadn't expected to be able to sleep when I got back from night school. I also hadn't expected it to be such an eventful experience. I knew that there would be an adjustment period as I got used to being up in the middle of the night.
What I hadn’t been counting on was the near-death experiences and bullies.
I ended up falling asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. I barely had enough energy to brush my teeth and slip into my nightgown.
I slept like the dead for the next few hours.
I woke up to the sounds and smells of breakfast being made. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. It was only seven in the morning, but I didn’t think I would be able to sleep anymore. I had only gotten four hours of sleep, but I was suddenly very wide awake.
I slipped out of bed and wandered out to the living room. I thought about going back and getting dressed, but I would have to try and go back to bed before my class later that night.
