The next morning, Steve

overslept. He had barely enough time

to get dressed and grab a quick

breakfast before sprinting to his bus

stop.

At least his essay was finished, even if

it meant getting only three

hours of sleep that morning. It didn't

really matter though, he had

science first period and he could

sleep through it. That gave him a

whole four hours of sleep, which was

almost bordering on a bad

night's sleep instead of just a nap.
