I woke to the sound of my alarm blaring mercilessly. Groggily, I violently slammed the alarm and it tumbled to the floor, turning it off. With slow, weary steps, I grabbed some clothes and went to the bathroom.

Closing the door behind me, I studied my features in the mirror. A pair of honey eyes with dark circles stared back at me. My auburn tangles were a mess and my skin was in dire need of a tan, too pale for its own good.
