"Holy son of a Christmas bear party, I'm late!!" I yelled, falling out of my bed. I got up, tripping over my blankets. I got up again and quickly changed into my school uniform, not even bothering to brush my hair. It was neat enough anyway. Kinda. My brown hair was just waaayyyy too curly anyway.

All in all, i got ready in about ten minutes, of course after making breakfast, which was only toast. I took the toast and put on my shoes, holding the toast in my mouth. I walked out the house, locked the door and grabbed my skateboard.

I quickly ate the toast before riding my skateboard to school. 'I REFUSE TO BE A CLICHE ANIME GIRL!!' As i skated along the path i sighed. 'If i knew i was going to be late to school i would've had a shower yesterday...'

The ride wasn't that long as i only live a few streets away from school. Half way i had to cross a rather busy road, i quickly crossed it at the right time and walked the rest of the way to school with my skateboard under my arm.

I ended up being half an hour late.

When i walked into school, the principal gave me a BIG scolding before letting me go. "Stupid old man.." i muttered as i knocked on my class door. The teacher opened the door and immediately gave me a hard glare, one i didn't miss.

"You're half an hour late, Miss Brown" She spoke rather calmly. Though the glare she held said otherwise.

"S-sorry miss" i cursed myself for stuttering as i stepped back a little, though it wasn't noticeable. The teacher sighed and let me go into class.

"Alice!" A boy called, waving at me. He has dark brown hair and matching eyes, his skin was pale. He's a good friend of mine, his name is Alex. He may be a month older than me, but he was shorter than me by two inches.
I sat next to him, "hey Alex, sorry I'm late" I said to him once i had all my stuff out.

"I was getting worried you know! What were you doing?" He asked, tapping his fingers on the table - something he did often when he was either worried or nervous.

"i just slept in. That's all" i said. I waved it off as nothing and turned to the teacher, so did alex.

It was finally the end of school. I was the first to pack up, i was about to walk out the door when i felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around to see my teacher with an annoyed scowl on her face.

"Yes miss?" I asked innocently.

"You are to stay back half an hour." She said in a tone that said 'no objections'. I gulped and nodded, to be honest i was kinda scared. My teacher is known for her punishments. Alex gave me a sympathetic look as he walked out the class. Annoyed, i poked my tongue out at him.

With a huff i sat back at my seat, chucking my bag and skateboard down next to me.

The teacher cleared her throat and gave me three pieces of paper. "Write 'i will not be late to class' as many times as you can during the time you have to stay back." She said as she walked to her desk and sat down. I sighed and started to write down my lines.

'Whatever you say Umbridge~!'

After i had written about two pages, the teacher came over and snatched the papers from my hand and shooed me away. Gladly, i took my stuff and rushed out the class, out of school.

I rode my skateboard after i got out the school. Once again i had to pass the busy road, 'honestly this road is way too busy for a road near the school...' i thought as i looked both ways.
When i looked to my right i saw a little boy playing with his ball, he was so close to the road. I hopped off my skateboard, held it under my arm and stomped over to the kid. He seemed to be at least five? Maybe six? I looked around and couldn't see anyone that seemed close to looking like his parents. "Where's his parents..?" I muttered, then something hit my leg. I looked down to see it was the boys ball, i picked it up as the kid came over to me.

"C-can i pwease have my ball?" He asked.

I crouched to his level and scowled. "Listen here kid, it's dangerous playing ball so close to the road!" I yelled angrily. After a few seconds the boy started to cry. "S-sorry kid. It's just I'm worried for your safety." I said calmly while patting his head. The boy wiped his eyes dry and nodded. I smiled and gave him his ball back, "if you want to play ball, go to the park" i said, getting up and walking away without listening to his response.

I crossed the road and looked back to look at the kid. He had dropped his ball, the ball rolled onto the road. The kid stupidly ran on the road to get his ball.

That was it... just like my dream.
A car came out of nowhere. I ran over to him, however i wasn't going to make it. So i jumped, pushing the kid out the way.

I blacked out...
