An Unforgettable Day

It was a beautiful  autumn morning. The sound of rain gently woke me up.

I glanced over to my phone, only to find out that it was turned off, probably due to my phone charger not being plugged in properly. Once I looked at the clock, I realized I was an hour late for school. I quickly put on some clothes and rushed to the bathroom. On my way to the bathroom, I hit my pinky toe on the open door of my sisters' room. It hurt very much. I even felt dizzy for a second there. Once I recuperated from that, I made my way to the bathroom. I was out of the tooth paste so I had to go to my parents' washroom and borrow theirs. I started getting pretty frustrated at this point. I was pretty hungry, but I had no time to eat. I decided to go to school right away and grab a snack in-between classes. I rushed out of the house and into the car, only to find out that my gas tank was almost empty, courtesy of my younger sister. I made my way to the closest gas station. Once I got there, I realized I've left my wallet at home. Luckily, I had some cash in the car. I poured only $20 worth of gas, trying to save as much time as possible. I ran inside the 7-Eleven as fast as I could only to see a huge line of people. I then realized that a nearby high school had a lunch break at that very hour. The next five minutes of my life felt like an eternity. Once I paid for the gas, I started heading towards the university. It was about 12pm so the traffic was pretty light. Since I was in a rush, I was speeding a little, perhaps ten to fifteen km/h over the limit. About two kilometers away from university, I noticed some flashing lights in my rearview mirror. It was the police, of course. They indicated for me to pull over and so I did. The cop approached my vehicle and asked for my license and registration papers. This is when I started freaking out because I remembered leaving my wallet at home. I felt so anxious that I ended up fainting.

At that very moment,  I opened my eyes. I was laying in my bed. I could hear the sound of the rain drops tapping against my window and my phone happened to be turned off. I decided to stay at home for the rest of that day.
