CHAPTER 1
"What the hell did you do that for? Turn it back!!" Shane was surprised that his 10-year old sister Stephanie just switched the television to Nickelodeon, while he was in the middle of watching the final minutes of what was perhaps the best game of the season. But he was not only surprised, he was mad!
"No, you've been watching that stupid basketball show for 3 hours already! It's now my turn!"
"Whatever, your turn, your turn, you're just gonna go watch that freakin' cartoon show that you're even too old to watch! Bring it back!!"
"Nooo!!!"
"I said bring it back!" Grabbing the remote on top of the table, Shane switched it back to the game.
"Hey!"
Then a fight for the remote went on.
Linda McMahon came out from the kitchen upon hearing commotion. "Kids! Hey, stop it! What's going on?"
"Mom, I was in the middle of watching a game and she suddenly came and switched the channel! It was down to the last 3 minutes!"
"Stephanie, that was not nice…"
"But mom, he has been watching that stupid game since 4! It's 7 now! My turn!"
"Yes Stephanie, but don't you think that it's better if you asked first before switching the television to another channel?"
"But he won't allow me to anyway!" whined Steph. She had a point though; Shane would definitely not share the t.v.
"Shane…" Linda warned as she saw Shane making faces from where he sat.
Emerging from the staircase, Vince made his presence known. "What's all this commotion I keep hearing? I'm upstairs working and I can hear screaming…"
"Well, your kids are fighting about the television, AGAIN." Linda was sure to emphasize on the word 'again'. It seems that fighting was what Shane and Steph have been doing lately, and she was starting to lose her patience already.
"What are you fighting about again?" Vince, too, was already tired of this situation.
"I was watching a close match between the Celtics and the Lakers when suddenly, there's this someone who comes in and, out of the blue, switches the t.v. to the stupid Nickelodeon channel." Shane explained in an irritated tone.
Before Vince had the chance to speak, Stephanie already explained herself. "But he has been watching for 3 hours already!"
And that was it. That explanation was enough for Vince to make his decision. "Shane, you have been watching for 3 hours already. And yeah, when I came in, I already saw you watching. It's 7 already, and you're still there? Why not share the t.v. with your sister? Don't be selfish…"
Surprised by that comment, Shane tried to reason out, "But da-…"
"No but's, young man… well, seeing that it's dinner time already, why don't you two wash up and get ready for dinner."
When he saw Shane's mouth open and was about to speak, Vince, in a much sterner voice said, "NOW!"
Deciding to obey, as he seemed to have nothing else to do, Shane stomped upstairs, into his room where he banged his door shut. "Sh!"
