BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! Zac squeezed the bridge of his nose and sat up in the darkness and glanced at the clock. 4:30. He climbed out of bed, and walked through the dark towards the stairs. About halfway down, he saw the light emanating from his mothers room.

"Good morning, mother." He said with a slightly sarcastic tone in his voice. She glanced up from doing her make-up. Zac kept on walking, in the kitchen, the dull glow of the computer monitor bounced off the walls, he turned just in time to avoid stepping on his Old English Sheep Dog, Bentley, who usually has a lot of hair, but now he was shaven. He stepped over the dog, and into the bathroom. The light always blinds him, by now he should be expecting it in the morning, but he exhaled slowly in annoyance anyway. He stopped to look in the mirror, looking at his features. He was a brown-haired, brown-eyed kid. Not tall but not really short, 5'5" was his height. He took his glasses off and set them on the bathroom sink. He then grabbed his towel and turned to get in the shower.

Zac sat in the darkness of his bedroom, staring at the blank T.V. screen. He glanced at the clock. 4:45. He grabbed the black remote and turned the television on. The show Inuyasha was playing. He stared unbelievingly at the screen as Naraku, the demon, was brought back to life yet again with a new body! He reached up and touched his hair, still wet from the shower. He flattened it out. The second episode was uneventful, Inuyasha and the gang were trying to find Naraku. He sat back in his chair and sighed. 5:30. He got up and turned on the light.

"Josh, get up now!" he called to his brother. "Mom's gonna get pissed if ya don't hurry!" he heard his brothers tired sighs as he sat up in bed. Zac ran downstairs and sat in the darkness of the living room. 6:00. His eyes began get heavy, and droop. They became harder to hold open. Zac passed out on the living room chair.

"Zac! Don't you have to leave?" his brother stood in the door frame. Zac snapped awake. He had a dream that he was in the Feudal area, with Inuyasha and the gang. He got up and got his shoes, jacket and backpack on, and stepped through the door. The sky was a dark tinge of purple, warm, and humid weather that day.

He began his walk down the road, taking a left at the end of the street, right after another three blocks, cross the road, walk four blocks to the high school. He opened the door and said hello to Mr.Bonetti, the principal.

"Hey there Johns! Don't get into any trouble today, got that?"

"Oh, absolutely sir!" he responded. He walked around the corner, into the commons, or cafeteria for all you literal people out there. He sat at the bright orange table that him and his friends always do in the morning, all the while reminiscing on the sarcastic answer to Mr.Bonetti. He never calls anyone sir. He sat alone at the table for awhile, thinking about random things. He looked up as his friend Olivia, Ia for short, walked in. She stood about 5'4", dark brown hair, nearly black, cut short. Se wore a teal short sleeve shirt, and jeans. She sat at the table, put her face in her hands and exhaled deeply.

"Tired?" Zac asked

"No, I just don't wanna be at school today." She replied.

"Yeah, I know what your saying, it's going to be another dull day."
