BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

 

Groggily Max opened his eyes and hit the off button on his alarm sitting up in the darkness of his room, gradually letting the fog lift from his brain as he tried his best to wake up

 

“Well at least tomorrows the weekend” he yawned once he had gained enough mental function to remember the right day of the week

 

Soon enough the fully dressed Max Owens came out from his room into the living room where his grandma waiting

 

“Morning Me-me (pronounced Meemee)” Max greeted passing the older woman on the sofa on his way into the kitchen

 

“Morning Max” she replied as cheerfully as she could “how was your sleep?” she managed

 

“EH.” Max called as he grabbed himself a pop tart and vertically inserted it into the toaster

 

“So-so”

 

“Aww, I’m sorry to hear that” Me-me replied

 

“Eh, don’t worry about it” Max responded cheerfully as he came out of the kitchen

 

Quickly he grabbed his backpack and headed to the door, turning around at the last second to say goodbye,

 

“See you later Me-me”

 

“Goodbye” she responded “And you be careful out there in the dark”

 

With a smile Max closed the door and started the tedious trek to the bus stop

 

“OW!” Max exclaimed sharply clutching his head

 

For a split second, there was a sharp pain in his head, like a sudden sting from inside,

 

Tenderly he felt the spot where it had hurt, now he had a headache, y’know that headache you get when you don’t drink enough water, well it was like that, just not quite as bad

 

“Well that was weird” Max commented as he continued walking “hope I’m all right.”
