Chapter One: Regret or Something Else

A loud ringing noise interrupted Tony from his blissful sleep causing him to wake up. Tony let out a low, groggy voice as he struggled to turn off the alarm, not wanting to open his eyes to look for the button. He was able to stop the god awful beeping without opening his eyes first. Tony slowly opened his eyes letting them adjust and proceeded to look over at his tiny digital clock that sat beside his bed. It read 8:00AM, the time it was set to go off on weekends like always. Even though it was Saturday Tony kept an alarm set so he wouldn’t sleep through the whole day and was able to get things done at a reasonable time. Even though this was routine Tony still didn’t like waking up early. He was never

'
Probably from disgust with this body ' Tony thought to himself. Tony gets out of bed and walks into his kitchen, he’s going to make breakfast, for two again it seems. He doesn’t really want to make breakfast for Dax too but if he doesn’t Dax will pull this stupid pout on his stupid face. Tony makes himself some cereal, and took out a box of strawberry waffles; Dax’s favorite which is why the little shit made Tony buy some just for him for when he comes over. Like Tony caters to his every need or some shit. Tony pulled out two waffles and put them in the toaster and started it. He also left out the syrup, Tony is going to leave the waffles in the toaster and the syrup out for Dax to make it himself when he gets up. If the waffles get cold it’ll be Dax’s own fault for getting up so late.
Tony sat down at the couch with the bowl of cereal in one hand and the spoon on the other, he had turned the TV on and it was turned to some comedy channel. 'Dax must have put this on ' Tony thought. Dax loved stand-up comedy shows and anything else comedy related. He must’ve been watching this channel while Tony worked on papers or things of the like for his own job, Dax often hung around Tony’s apartment while he worked, which Tony …show more content…
' and that Tony was being 'no fun. ' but Tony just ignored him anyway. Tony didn’t bother to change the channel, he was too deep in thought to be paying attention anyway. What he thought about was how routine this was, how no matter what he says or how much he rejects Dax he still ends up in these situations. No matter how much he tells himself that he hates this, he never completely objectifies to anything. Consent is fairly given, so if anything it 's not Dax 's fault, it 's his own. Tony got that feeling in the pit of his stomach again. It wasn 't always like this in their relationship of course, Dax wasn 't just some stranger who came out of no where and constantly tried to bang Tony. No, they have quite a history together. Sometimes Tony wanted to think back on how this all started, but it was obvious, and Tony didn 't want to remember that certain part of their history. Although at some point he would have to sit down and actually think about it some day. That day is not today however, today, like every other day, Tony puts the reasoning for his actions to the back of his mind. Tony sat his cereal down on the coffee table that was in front of his couch. It still had bits of cereal floating around a bowl full of milk but at this point Tony

    Dawn broke to an explosion of bird songs, the cacophony starting Booker awake with a disgruntled groan. Unimpressed by the early morning alarm clock, he angrily pulled his pillow over his head and attempted to drown out the noise. However, the humorous fact that the sound easily penetrated through the downy feathers brought a good-natured smile to his lips, and with a resigned sigh, he threw the pillow onto the floor and sat up.

    Sometimes people allow simple distractions to take away their focus from their main objective. These distractions can lead to someone making a spur of the moment reaction in which the person regrets most of the time. By looking at the narrators argumentative words and the way the manager viewed the girl’s outfits we see a sense of disagreement yet respect between Sammy and the manager. This leads us to understand that Sammy quit his job because he was trying to impress the girls that came into the store.…

    Making Dreams Become Realities Just as the alarm clock rings and haults the tranquil dream of Yutan High School senior Allan Cramblitt, he leaps out of bed and gets ready to start his day. It’s 6:30 in the morning, and he quickly grabs a shower along with some breakfast before rushing to school. While this may seem to be a common way to start the day for any average high school student, Cramblitt is most definitely not average. From a young age, Cramblitt has had his mind set on what he wants to achieve in life: be valdictorian, go to an Ivy league school, and become a successful engineer.…

    The feeling of guilt can make it very difficult for people to think properly and enjoy their lives during their time of regret. The events that took place during The Crucible by Arthur Miller clearly illustrate guilt as the motivating factor in the many false convictions and deaths of twenty people. The acts of the people of Salem were influenced by the acts of a group of girls lead by Abigail Williams, who would act irrationally and accuse people for witchcraft. Many people were sold by the actions of these girls which ended up causing all of the hangings to occur. After some time people started to believe less and less of what the girls were saying; many of the girls felt guilty and left the town.…

    “Oh my god, what did you do, and how did you even do that?” Questioned Reilly, who was sitting right next to Carson and trying not to chuckle while asking him that! Infact, everyone who was sitting on that table was laughing, including me. It was just so funny. Me and the other people who were sitting on that table were weak, not because we were sick or out of energy, because our stomachs were hurting from laughing too much.…

    I awake to a narrow beam of sunlight that penetrates the closed shades of the window in my dorm room. It lets me know it is late in the morning if not already afternoon, but the time means little to me. I am still unable to vocalize this feeling I awake with so often. I know only that the prospect of getting out of bed feels insurmountable. I roll under my covers for a few more minutes of sleep, but when I look at the clock again, hours have passed.…

    It wouldn’t be too long until I could get out of bed and wake my parents, my four-year old self thought. I was always the first one up at the crack of dawn, but I ended up getting yelled at if I awoke their somber sleep. Once my stomach started growling and gurgling, I decide that it’s time to stampede my mom and dad’s room. The bright sun singed my eyes as it entered through all of the opened windows of my home.…

    Every morning my alarm goes off with it’s usual perky and uplifting beat. I can only assume that the person who created this arousing tune had the intention of waking one up feeling fresh, revitalized, and ready to take on the day. The reality is, it does the complete opposite, it makes me want to cover myself in enough blankets and pillows until I can finally drown out the horrendous noise. Instead I reluctantly force myself out of bed at an ungodly time and drive to Oak Grove elementary school, where I get the opportunity to tutor one of the coolest kids. Although the alarm and I hold a very hostile relationship, without it I would never be able to do all of the things and help all of the people I love.…
