I wake up to the alarm sound at 8:00AM. Getting out of bed I do my usual morning routine, brush, quick shower, breakfast ect. I hear the school bus ring and roll up near my front door steps, I begin rushing towards the sound exiting my front door and entering the yellow school bus. Unrecognizing and ignoring the bus driver, I head for the back of the sheet. No other students were on the bus. The bus circled around different houses not picking up any students. We finally arrived at the school and I left the bus. Heading to my 9th grade first period classroom around the corner I noticed not a single person in the hallways. As I entered the room I did not find a single classmate or teacher in the room. Ignoring the intuition of where everyone was, I picked up the worksheet on the table and began working on the assignment. The bell rang and it was the second period, upon entering the room again no one was in sight. Since the second period was art I just drew a couple pictures of objects around me, the school, the bus, the classroom, the hallways. By the time I knew it the bell had rung I was off the third period. Walking off campus to the home-ec building I still didn't run into anyone. Walking into an empty building I spent my time cooking whatever was in the fridge, I saw some eggs, milk, veggies, and cookies on the counter. I took a skillet and made two omelets, poured me a cup of milk and cookies and tossed the omelets and cookies onto a plate from the top drawer. I ate what was on the plate and ate almost every crumb. While drinking my glass of milk the fourth bell rang, and I exited the building. Walking back to campus I started to get curious where everyone was. Walking into my history class I saw a projector with a film inside already hooked up to the wall. Sitting in the middle of the seat with no one beside me, it played the movie. I can feel myself dizzying away from reality watching the boring documentary about history, almost existing reality. The bell rang and it was lunch time. Walking into the cafeteria I noticed an entire row of chairs standing on top of the tables. Taking a chair out I noticed around the corner a lunch lady, I was surprised to see someone in school. wandering around the empty chairs, I approach the woman and she says “Wake Up!””WAKE UP!” I woke up from the dramatic exit scared but happy it was over as the alarm clock rings again, it's 8:00AM.
