Story of the Week

Story of the Week.:


No school.

“Get up it’s time for school.” called my brother.

It was 6:00 on my clock and today was my first day of school.

“I’ll be ready, Martin just let me change.” I grab the shirt on my bed and quickly change. Martin has said the first day was clown day. I grab my tacky socks and go downstairs. Martin has made my cereal. He said the milk was warmed so it tasted really bad like powder and water mixed it even smelled like it too. The cereal was crunched and nasty. I ate it anyway because I was really hungry. I ponder why Martin was being so nice because he was never nice. He told me to get in his car and he drove to school. As we passed, the neighborhood lights were out. No one was getting ready for school, but some kids were up watching cartoons I could see it through their windows. We drove to Grovedale Middle School and he dumped me out. He snickered. “Have a fun time alone.”

I knew it. I had been tricked. Obvious case of my brother, Martin. I checked my phone. August 18th. No school.
