Some called it morning. Some called it sunrise. Some called it the most wonderful time of day.

To you it was hell.

A groan escaped you as your eyes fluttered open to the shining dawn of the early sun. A slight dizziness from last had turned into a full blown headache, leaving you groggy and tired, even though you had just slept eight hours.

You rubbed your eyes, practically feeling the bags underneath them, and yawned loudly before sitting up. Movement simply made your head hurt more, so you sat there for a moment, rubbing your skull to ease the pain. It didn't help much.

With another groan you stood up, and sat back down again. A wave of vertigo hit you like a freight train, and you nearly puked. With a sigh, you laid back and stared up at the ceiling.

Thank God you didn't have work today.

As you shut your eyes once more, you try to sleep off whatever is wrong with your body right now, but the attempt is unsuccessful, as you toss and turn for about an hour before deciding that sleep is useless, so you might as well get up.

Passing through the hall of your apartment, you come upon the main area of your small abode. As a student in college, you didn't have much to your name, but you were proud to own the small apartment and everything within. You quickly enter the kitchen before starting up your coffee machine and popping an aspirin. Perhaps some painkillers will get rid of these trying headache.

To say your morning was bland would be an insult to bland. Unfortunately, most of your mornings were like this. You didn't have classes, you didn't have many friends, and the ones you did have tended to have classes on the days you didn't. Today being one of them. And so your day passed by in what felt like a matter of hours.

Over the course of that Sunday, you tried to entertain yourself. First, you did actually text everyone to see if one of your friends decided to ditch class and wanted to hang out. Unfortunately, everyone decided to be a good student today, and show up for their classes, so that plan was shot. And so you did the only other thing you could do. Play video games.

You were a bit of a nerd. Not enough to be considered amongst any of the stereotypes, but you did enjoy video games and a good anime every once in awhile, and that was how your day was spent. You were super relaxed on this “me day” of yours, but just as soon as it seemed to begin, night fell, and it was time to turn in.

As you return to your room to retire for the night, you take note that, while it has lessened, you still have that headache. Deciding to ignore it, you get into bed, close your eyes, and fall asleep, the wish for more excitement in your life being the only thing to accompany your dreams.

Author's Note

Just a bit of a before scene so I have enough words to post the first chapter.
