She stops and looks around the forest inspecting all the little details she can see. she closely looks some flowers and leans into them to smell them.

She stands tall on a top of a hill staring at the sun. the light shines on her and she relaxes while closing her eyes.

While closing her eyes she hears an alarm clock sound ringing and opens her eyes.

Alarm clocking buzzing

The girl quickly opens her eyes and sits up quickly looking at her surroundings.

The room is a typical teenagers room with posters ,lights and clutter on the floor.

She wears mismatched pyjamas , while her hair is on a small bun in the back.

she finds the where the alarm clock sound is coming from and shuts it off.

The sighs and then she drops back on the bed to stare at the ceiling.
