"Another day another dollar..." Tom mumbled, this being his usual phrase in the mornings, as he turned the alarm clock off. Standing up, Tom would then go into the bathroom, combing his hair, brushing his teeth, shaving, and finally jumping in the shower. After getting out about ten minutes later, Tom dries himself up then gets into his usual outfit: a green sweater, slacks, and sneakers. Heading down stairs, he would make sure that he had enough money to buy lunch and some extra stuff, and then went into the kitchen to make some cereal.
After making his bowl, Tom turns the TV on, eating his cereal and watching a rerun of 'Married... With Children' that was almost fifty or so years old. He was watching it just to see how different life was in the 1980s compared to how it is now, and occasionally a joke made him laugh. After he finishes his cereal, he stands up, turns the TV off, then puts his bowl into the sink, before heading to the door and grabbing his backpack. Tom then leaves to the bus stop, where Alex was already sitting, and sat down a bit away from him.
