Invisible day

Day 22.  What would you do if you woke up one morning to find yourself invisible? 

- Jiff, wake up. - says my mother - Jiff, wake up, it's time for school! - she shouts and barges into my room. - How many times do I have to tell you, young man, that being late for school is a bad thing! - says my mother and grabs the blanket that I'm covering myself with. She pulls it and looks in my direction but her eyes don't focus on anything.
- Hmm, maybe he's already up and gone for school. What a good surprise. - she says and leaves the room. 

Wait, what? What just happened? Didn't she notice me? Hmm. I guess that's just a my brother and my brother setting a prank for me. Is it April Fool's Day? No, it's not. I guess it's really time to get up. Time to find my glasses... where's my hand? Where's my body? I can't see myself! Am I a ghost? Can I touch things? Yes, I can pick up my glasses. Let's try to see myself in the mirror. I can't see myself. And, yes, I do have my glasses on. I don't see a reflection in the mirror. Hmm. What should I do? Well, I obviously don't have to go to school and I can do whatever I want. But what do I want to do? Let's eat first. Then I can walk around town. Now that I'm invisible I don't really need to wear clothes and because it's a wonderful summer day outside, I can walk freely walk bare naked. I make myself a sandwich and I leave the house. I catch the bus and I get off at the city center. So many people hurrying for somewhere. I don't want to stay here. It's boring. I go back to my house, grab some clothes warm clothes and catch the bus again for the bus stop. I'm going to the mountains.
