A/N: This drabble-thingy is dedicated to me not wanting to wake up early and for the start of school that I don't want to happen...that will, inevitably, happen tomorrow *dies*
…But anyway. Read and review, please!
Italics in quotation marks = thoughts. ...Just thought you might like to know that :)
With a low grown, he forced himself upright, resting his arms across his legs. He stared bleary-eyed at the bookshelf in front of him, not really seeing it. The tick of a clock registered dully in his senses before, a second later, the alarm went off.
The incessant ringing forced its way into his senses. Somewhere in the back of his mind, he figured he should probably get up…but that would actually take some effort. What a pain.
He felt the vague sense of being annoyed at the relentless ringing, but was really too tired to think much about it. Instead he continued staring at nothing, his mouth hanging slightly open, wondering why something so horrible could possibly be happening to him. And why it had to be happening so early.
He sat, still unmoving, as he tried to hold on to the sweet feeling of being asleep for as long as he possibly could. Unfortunately for him, it didn't happen to be very long. He mentally cursed that stupid alarm clock. And the worst part was: it hadn't even woken him up. He groaned internally, venting out his muted frustration.
"Great. What's the point of setting the alarm if I'm going to wake up before it goes off?"
He thought of all the effort he had needlessly expounded while setting the alarm clock last night. Why had he gone through all that work for nothing? And, of course, all his hard work just had to lead to more work.
"What a total waste. Now I've got to shut it off."
He thought of having to go transverse the entire foot between his bed and the alarm clock just to make it shut up. The mere thought of it was too much for his tired body. He drowsily began going over all his options, looking for an easy way out of his predicament. Despite his sharp mind, he could only come up with two possible courses of action. Neither one looked promising.
One: he could turn it off. "…But I don't feel like moving."
Well, there went one option down the drain.
Two: he could stay here. "…But if I don't shut it off, it'll just keep ringing and ringing."
He groaned internally. This was an impossible situation.
"It makes me tired just thinking about the whole thing."
Life was just so full of hard decisions.
The alarm rang on.
"Some mornings are such a drag."
A/N: This scene is in the beginning of episode 33 of Shippuden, if anyone's wondering :) …The anime is probably funnier than this, but…at least I tried…
…I really wanted to write this scene, though, because it made me laugh so hard XD I love Shikamaru… :)
If you review, you will make me happy. So please review! *puppy dog eyes*
