Average Joe

Name's Joe

I wake up to the sound of my alarm clock going off which is a very important detail about my life that I must tell you about or else my day will feel like it has lacked something. My alarm is a loud drumming noise that I downloaded onto my phone to.. well you know.. wake me up in the morning. I say morning but I mean 2 AM because let's be honest, what do you expect from a 17-year-old boy other than a bad sleep schedule?

I'm a very heavy sleeper so I set my alarm at 2 AM so that I can readjust my sleep schedule from now on. It's the first day of school in a few hours and I wouldn't wanna sleep through it. I wanna meet my cool friend Josh.

I roll out of bed, cursing the fact that we have to adjust to sleep schedules. I slowly walk towards my bathroom mirror where I take a good look at myself.

Ah yes. I have messy blond hair that pretty much cover my eyes but I'm fictional so this haircut is totally practical and doesn't interfere with my vision. I have blue eyes if you must know though as I said before, they aren't visible. I'm a skinny white boy if you must know though some girls from school do manage to make me sound more interesting. There's a rumor going around that I'm part vampire or part werewolf or whatever's in these days. My black clothing helps me fit into the "dark supernatural creature" stereotype too so I can't blame the girls.

If you're wondering, yes I like to occasionally look at myself in the mirror and describe myself because why not right? I also love narrating everything that happens in my life. It's because I'm a loner. But don't worry, I choose to be. The teenage girl writing my character thinks that adds to my personality.

Suddenly I hear thunder which distracts me from..my reflection. I look outside to see that it's a dark and stormy night. I grunt at this discovery because since this is teen fiction I must include as much unnecessary angst as possible. My character must appear displeased at all times.

I take one last glance at my blond hair in the mirror and curse them for being so messy. And now I wait for 7 AM to roll around.
