Ahhhhh! I slept an hour late, and I can't find my books or my clothes. I obviously missed the bus, and I'm absolutely going bonkers. Oh no! I also forgot to study for my test. Mom said if I fail then I'll be grounded for two months, and I won't be able to go to my pool party. Oh my goodness. Now my hair dryer is broken and my hair is soaking wet. I better run to school.

What else can happen to me? Nothing, until now. Mrs. Jones, my science teacher, won't let me take the test. What could this world possibly be coming to? Well anyway, it doesn't seem good. What is that smell? Oh man, the smell is horrible. Ewww! That's my breath! Oops! I didn't brush my teeth! Now I am going to be known as a stinkbomb from Jupiter (certainly not Earth). This day is not going well. RING!! Thank goodness! School is finally over! I thought the time would never come. Oh no! My books have been pushed out of my hand. Ouch! I just got pushed on the ground as well. Just great! I have blood all over me, and I missed the bus again. I'm just in front of my ugly maroon house with yellow shutters as I trip over my own shoelace. Now it's broken! This has been a long, long day. Now it is time for swim team. I go to change into my bathing suit, but I've forgotten it! My coach just pushes me in the pool, and I don't have a change of clothes. My parents aren't home so I guess I am walking home. Two hours later I get home because I stopped at McDonald's on the way. Finally, I am home! I changed and then I sat on the lime green couch and turned on the television. There's nothing on that I like! My parents are home. My science teacher called and told my parents that she is giving me a zero because I didn't take the test at all. Great! Now I am grounded, and I also have to go to bed at eight thirty instead of nine thirty. That was so cheap! I can't believe they would actually do this to me. I am so mad, and I hat my parents. They are the worst; I wish I was dead! Ahhhhhh!

"Kristen, wake up!"

Oh my goodness! That whole thing was a dream! I am so glad that wasn't real. I am relieved that it was just a dream.

THE END.
