Saxon rolled over to face the alarm clock ringing by the side of his bed. He violently grabbed at it, the noise pounding through his head his ears still ringing even after it had stopped. He lay on his back, hands to his head as he shielded the morning light from his eyes. Never had he woken up with such a headache before. Maybe his prank yesterday had just been to much.

He lay there silently for a minute or so, but the pain didn't seem to dim and so he all but dragged himself from his bed and crawled across the carpet towards his bedroom door. He opened it a crack, recoiling at the brightness but slowly adjusting. He contemplated shouting his mum to grab some paracetamol, but shouting seemed worse than crawling right now. He was only thankful he was on the ground floor.

He made his way to he kitchen, painfully raiding the cupboards and popping open the first packet of paracetamol he could find, shoving them into his mouth and swallowing them without a drink. He glanced to the clock - he was running late! To make it worse he felt like the walking dead.

Saxon was able to shove on the first pair of clothes he could find before heading out the door, it seemed his mum was already at work but at least some of his older siblings were still in to look over the house. He was about to climb into his car, before deciding that maybe walking would be best and safest. It was a nice morning but still he wore sunglasses and a hoodie to shield himself - feeling ridiculous but at this point in time not particularly caring.

He had shoved his pockets full with medicine along with all his school books he could find into his bag, slowly marching to school not really bothered that he would most likely be late - it was a usual occupancy for him.

When he did indeed arrive at school the quiet chatter from classrooms was still overwhelming, but becoming more bearable despite his still pounding headache. He slipped into his English class and sat at the back, doing his best to avoid the windows and merely rest his head on the desk. Maybe he could pass it off as a hangover, most people left him alone then.
