You have been working all night, you’re so concentrated on what you’re doing you’ve lost track of time. As you warp up work you see the time on your phone...
“Wow, it’s 3 am already? I was working for that long? Damn, it’s pretty late and I should probably head to sleep so that I’m rested for tomorrow’s filming day.”

You get in bed and set 4 alarms for 6 am. Your call time that very same morning is 7:30am, you must be at your school which is 15m away.
-BLACKOUT-

Knock! knock! “Luis”
-AWAKE-
You’re confused. You know exactly who that voice is, that’s your best friend’s voice. But he’s not in your room, is he? No, you don’t recall that. So how is it possi….
“Luis!”
There it is again! It’s coming from your window.
That's exactly what happened today, a combination of events that happen even before I open my eyes led to Jake knocking outside my window on a Sunday morning the day we were supposed to film the last scene.
--------------------------------------
You see, I didn't go to sleep at 3 AM, I went to sleep at 2 AM, which I thought was 3 AM because my phone was in daylight savings time. So not only did I mess up putting my alarm, but I still slept through them, possibly because my body thought it actually worked till 3 AM. Earlier that morning, our group chat has been blowing up as our actors struggled to determine whether we were going to film because neither of us had responded. There was quite a divided on whether they should go through with showing up or stay in, finally, Dani (Isabella) said no one should go anywhere unless they heard from either of us. That was the right move, as no text from either of us would come in for the next hour.
Jake is the only person I know that still uses a digital alarm clock, I trusted and noble way of setting up an alarm to wake up; trusted if you remember to change to the proper time zone. Unfortunately, Jake had forgotten to do that, which meant his alarm was one hour late; thankfully, he said his alarm two hours before he was supposed to wake up. So he answered the group chat, cancel the filming session, picked up (no, I don't know why he picked him up if the session was canceled; It wasn’t the most important thing going through my mind then, but in retrospect, it's a good question.), and headed to my house.
Jake has been to my house so many times that it was very easy for him to find the weather like that to my room. I'm a pretty heavy sleeper, but I'm also extremely attentive in my sleep, the moment Jake said my name my eyes went wide awake. I walked over to my window to find Jake knocking and saying hi, I took one look at him and close my blinds back up. Jakoob then said at knocking, and I realized that he was here he meant I was late.
After they explain the whole situation to me in my living room with my family so asleep, we decided to go out for breakfast! I feel pretty bad about messing up the day, so I decided to treat Jake and Jakoob to our breakfast. And that's the story of how daylight savings got the best of us, we had to cancel what we thought would be our last day of filming, but we got a pretty nice breakfast out of it! This is one pretty funny morning, definitely a story for the history books!
