I kept running through it, but every second it felt more and more strange and awkward. How will I keep going? I woke up at 6:15; i showered, ate breakfast, brushed my teeth and every morning I always hear my mom say “Alex you need to put your dirty clothes in the hamper.” When I left for school I saw many cool things on my walk to school. I saw a dog and a cat having a ferocious fight and I also saw an infinitesimal blue salamander when I got to school, I sat down in the gym and waited to be dismissed to first hour. the ambiance of the gym was loud and energetic.
