Alex: 

I spent the rest of the day paying a lot of attention in class, while during breaks I looked around the school again so that I would be able to remember it. After lunch I had Maths, which I don’t look forward to. Past teachers told me that I was smart, but the only subject that I hate is math. I would always go with English or Art since those were subjects I enjoyed.

My apartment was about twenty five minutes away so I had plenty of time to think. I realised that I had to pay rent in a month or so. That scares me a bit, I don’t actually have that much money yet. Maybe I could consider drawing a few things to make some money, I’m really not sure.

One of my few hobbies is that I love drawing. When I was fifteen I posted one of my artworks on social media and got a lot of likes and positive comments about my work. Someone said that I could make money with that, and that is exactly what I did. After a few months I figured that I could make money by selling it online. Which worked like a charm, so I have been doing it ever since.

But because of me being very busy, I haven’t been able to make anything for quite some time. I was already getting pressured by a lot of people in real life and on the internet, so I decided to take a break from social media until I was able to go on it again without getting too stressed out. I did prepare myself for anything that was going to happen anyways, so I guess I’m not as scared as I thought I would be.

In the distance, I noticed my apartment building and was glad that I was close. My feet were aching because of all the walking around today. While walking I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket and I froze in the spot. I slowly took out my phone and calmed down once I saw it was only a notification from a game.

After I put my phone away I realised that I was subconsciously holding my breath. At first I thought it was a message from someone, I’m not sure why though.

When I finally arrived at my apartment I was relieved, the minute I got into my room I went and fell face first onto my bed. I wanna change but I’m way too lazy. Maybe I should just stay like this and hope that I fall asleep. Of course I did, not really surprising at all.

I woke up about three hours later. I fell asleep in a really awkward position, and now my whole body is sore. Stupid me. I rubbed my eyes many times before checking my phone. When my eyes finally adjusted to the brightness and then I saw that it was almost 7pm. I immediately got up and went to my small desk. It's been so long since I’ve last drawn something, I don’t even know where my art supplies are. I packed them away such a long time ago.

I finally found all my supplies after five minutes of looking. But then I realised that I forgot one of the most obvious things, the page. I looked through my drawers and got one medium sized page. I needed to make money, and fast. I mean, getting an actual job would be a lot easier. But I don’t have enough time to work because of school.

I needed to do something though, so I definitely had to get drawing, the faster I am the better. I plan to finish at least two things today if not more. All I need is my supplies and my wonderful music, everything else is fine. It honestly just depends on how long I take. After thinking for a bit, I got an idea. I quickly started drawing a light sketch when I finalised it.

“This one might be a bit more interesting than the others.. It also might be too complicated as well.. Hm, whatever. What happens probably happens for a reason, I guess.” I said to myself.

I stayed up for a long time, but I changed and went to bed once I got tired. Proud of myself for finishing three artworks. I don’t usually get tired easily, but today was a really long day. All I want to do now is sleep.
