Chapter 9

The sound of the alarm filled the room with posters of international basketball players.  A boy who was fast asleep was disturbed and covered his ears with a pillow.  Feeling that he could still hear the sound of the alarm, he turned it off and went back to sleep with the blanket covering his entire body.

 'Knock-Tock'

 "Henry, wake up!  You have to go to school,” said a woman from outside.

 The boy who was called Henry just stared at his body without intending to get up.

 'Brak-Brak-Brak'

 Now it wasn't a knock, it was a buzz.

 "HENRY!  WAKE UP!"

 "I'm awake," he said lazily.

 Henry sat on the bed with a big yawn.  Deeply wishing it was Sunday.  Unfortunately, it's Wednesday.  There were still three more days to pass before the day of independence from school came for him.

 He got out of bed and took the towel behind the door.
