Michael awoke in a daze. He wasn't sure where he was. Ahead of him was a blurry, yet blinding light. He was still half-asleep, and was having trouble getting up. But, he was slowly regaining his wits. The blurry light came into focus. It was his TV. He'd fallen asleep watching it! Michael glanced over at the clock next to the television.

5.03am.

Relatively early. He lazily stood up and casually made his way upstairs, still half-blind. The morning daze was not over yet. It took him a good ten minutes to change into his schoolwear, and another five to brush his teeth. Michael was not a morning person. He despised them. Another school day, another day of goofing off in class or pretending he was working when he was actually staring out the window, wishing to be at home and playing DGO. But he couldn't do that today, because of what happened the day before. Michael wondered what had caused the crash. It must have had to be something big to bring down the entire game. Maybe it had something to do with the message he received a few minutes after it went down.

He hopped downstairs. Michael had fully woken up now, but still dreaded going to school. He made himself a bowl of cereal and ate it while watching television. He proceeded to head out the door, steeling his nerves, forcing himself to go to school and not skip and hang out somewhere else. Michael didn't bother saying goodbye to his family since they were all asleep, and wouldn't get up for about three more hours. He locked the door and headed towards Purple Crown Academy, debating whether or not to pay a visit to the Student Council President in regards to the message he heard yesterday.
