"Garfield!! Garfield, get dressed and get down here right now!"

Garfield Winters groaned, stretched and thrust his duvet on to the floor. He lay still for a moment, staring at the plain white ceiling above. Blurry. Garfield rubbed his eyes and craned his neck towards the bright LED lights of his digital alarm clock. 07:47, and he was supposed to catch the bus at 08:00. "Fuck".

Sitting bolt upright, he scanned the room from side to side for the various pieces of his uniform that he had so idly scattered yesterday. Like a well programmed robot from the future, Garfield had everything spotted and placed together in under a minute. Everything except socks. Why did his socks always disappear? Where did they go? How did he manage to consistently lose pair after pair? Usually he would have an extra ten minutes to forage, but with the school science fair meaning an extra early start to the day, extra time was a luxury he could not afford.
