Marion, Florida

Ali jolted awake suddenly looking around his bedroom in confusion, nothing was misplaced or out of order but something wasnt right then he looked down and sighed softly. He had fallen asleep at his desk again he had been doing that a lot lately not on purpose of course, looking at his watch 8:05 then looking up at his calendar it was Saturday so at least his dad wouldn't come up to wake him up. On weekdays it was a little more difficult to hide the fact he was not sleeping at night. If he didn't sleep the night before, he knew the time that he would be woken up so he would dive into bed a few minutes before and close his eyes.

He didnt know why he stopped sleeping, the boys at school were still making fun of him in class and the teasing had caused Ali to worry more about things he was doing so he would spend most of the night either working on his homework over and over again. Or even working on other projects like drawing or even sorting out his room to a new way then changing it over and over again.

He never felt tired strangely enough perhaps it was because Ali's mind was always working a hundred miles a minute that his body was just naturally slow. He did have moments where he would just fall asleep randomly but he would often make a good enough exscuse to be tired.

Adjusting his hair he stood up from his desk and turned the lamp off that had been illuminating his room most of the night standing up he got changed quickly and left his watch checking the time as he did so 8:07. Enough time to go to the kitchen and sort out his breakfast well try to decide what to have for breakfast first.
