I reached over and switched off my alarm. I couldn’t believe it was morning already, it felt like I’d only been asleep for about an hour.

All I wanted to do was curl up and go back to sleep, but it was a school day, so there was no chance of me having a lie in.

I pushed the bedcovers off me and got out of bed, it was my own fault I was feeling so tired, I had stayed up late playing computer games with my friends.

I had a quick wash and went downstairs to the kitchen where my Mom and Dad were eating breakfast.

“Bye Mom, I’m off to school.”

“What about your breakfast, Tess?”

“I haven’t got time, I’ll just grab something on the way.”

I picked up my school bag and had almost got to the front door when I heard my Mom’s voice,

“Don’t forget to put your mask on!”

I sighed and rolled my eyes.

“Ok, Mom!”

I picked up my fake face mask and put it on.
