Call me Zits. Everybody calls me Zits. That’s not my real name, of course. My real name isn’t important. This morning, I wake in a room I do not recognize. I often wake in strange rooms. It’s what I do. The alarm clock beeps at me. I know I didn’t set that thing. I always set alarm clocks to play wake-up music. Something good like the White Stripes or PJ Harvey or Yeah Yeah Yeahs or Kanye West. Something to start your brain, cook and guts, and get your favorite music, like Marvin Gaye or Blood, Sweat & Tears. Yes, there used to be a band called Blood, Sweat & Tears. I stand up when my mobile plays a wake up music, I put my clothes on, I go downstairs, I eat alone and I cycle to school alone. I do everything alone. I don’t know my …show more content…
Nobody talks to me, the only call me stupid Zits, dumb Zits or just Zits. While I’m sitting there, I see a man: dark clothes and sunglasses. A man across the street. A man who’s looking at me. The man walks towards me, looks at me again and he says quite friendly: “Come with me.”.
I looked up to the man and wondered why someone say something friendly to me.
“Come with me.” This time it doesn’t sound so friendly.
I whispered: “Who are you? What do you want?”
“It doesn’t matter who I am. It doesn’t matter what my name is.” He said a bit angry, but then he went on more friendly: “I’m going to help you out of this situation. You deserves better. I see you, I see who you are.” “You don’t know who I am. You know nothing about me! You’re just another person who hates me.” I screamed at him. “I know many about you. Your real name is James, but everybody calls you Zits. You’re fifteen years old and you hate everything here.” He said it like it’s normal to know this much about someone you don’t know.
“How d-do you k-know so much a-about me?”
“I observe people like you. That’s why I know so much. I even know you’re going to walk away from here. I’m going to help you with that. If you accept my offer I’ll see you Monday next week at four o’clock in the morning at the train
Set your alarm at least an hour before you really need to get out of the bed. If you set the alarm for an earlier hour you get to hit the snooze button few extra times. After the third hit, you should have awakened enough to actually rise out of the bed. Fix yourself a cup of coffee, sit on the sofa, and stare into space at least fifteen minutes, but no more than thirty. This gives you time to not think about all that you have to do today.

Anyways, I was just sleeping in my bed like any goddamn person and my roommate decides to wake me up. Oh man was I mad, what kind of person really wakes someone up when it’s a saturday and I obviously am sleeping in. Oh I really hate it, I remember when I was at my old school a couple years ago there was this kid, Gary, every damn day he woke me up way earlier than I wanted to be. Everyday. He was always turning the light on and walking around like a mad man, I mean who in their right mind does that every single day. Does he realize that there’s someone else in the damn room. Okay so yeah, when this kid, named Harry if you were wondering (even though you probably don’t) woke me up, it just brought back some bad

The word identity is one of those words that has various meaning based on the situation and who you are talking to. Identity can refer to who someone is, found by knowing their name and background, but can also refer to who they are based off their character and personality.

While most people define themselves by using their race, sexuality, or religion there are many other ways to define yourself the most popular way coming from how others define you.

Across from me, a bald, pudgy man with pedophile like glasses and a ginger handlebar mustache, is sitting in a rolling chair too small for him, and he stares at me intently. “Excuse me?

I will be telling you how I wake up in the morning. There are a few things that you will need to know. The night before you go to bed, you should set your alarm for the right time. You will also need to make sure that you have the coffee pot ready to go for the morning so that you will only need to turn it on when you get up. Another thing that you will need to be aware of is the snooze button; it can be a major pitfall in getting up on time. My alarm clock takes a battery so that, if the power goes out, it will still go off at the right time. The last big pitfall is not going to bed early enough to get enough sleep for the next day.
