The night was long and painful, usually he'd get to sleep by around 3:00 but the night was just against him. Alex spent the rest of the night reading and checking his page on a social media site, "oh.", Alex sighed, The phone beeped "6:00", time to start the term... and a new school year.
Alex showered for a short five minutes and got dressed in his everyday clothes, a dark hoodie, pants and laced plimsolls. He filled his small bag with the books for the day, placed his earphones in and walked out of the dorm towards the cafeteria, he thought he heard muffled insults but it was just his earphones. Alex arrived at the cafeteria hall and took a bowl from the stand, he didn't want anything too big so he just filled his bowl with the first cereal he saw, corn flakes, he picked up a spoon and traversed the side of the cafeteria to an empty table near the window, the sun shone through and made his table stand out, if anyone came he'd just leave and eat on the ground.
