John stared out of his dormitory window, counting the minutes until he could finally leave Harvard for a well-earned holiday. He had just completed his GCSES and was looking forward to a holiday before he went to NASA.
A scream pulled him out of his thoughts. He immediately stood up and took off running in the direction that he thought the scream came from. He knew that it was his brother Virgil. Being the oldest of five brothers had some good points because he could recognise each of his brothers screams.
John reached Virgil in a matter of minutes and saw the reason why he screamed. John saw his best friend Catania unconscious on the floor. Catania, or Cat as everyone called her that, was in the same year as John and she was the head girl. John was the head boy.
A teacher had also come running after hearing Virgil's scream and instantly took charge of the situation.
"John, get Virgil out of here, will you," the teacher told John, completely oblivious to the fact that Virgil was John's brother and was clinging to John and would not let go.
Without saying anything, John stood up and carried Virgil out of the hall and onto the school grounds. John searched through the crowds until he found his remaining three brothers. He quickly walked over to them and sat down. His immediate younger brother, Scott, took Virgil off of John and Virgil relaxed a little bit. Scott then gave John a questioning look. John then told Scott the story as the youngest Tracy's came over to listen to the extraordinary tale.
As soon as John had finished speaking, everyone was stunned. Even Virgil had listened to what John had said but before anyone could respond, the headmaster walked over and heard John talking. He, and almost all the staff didn't know that John, Scott, Virgil, Gordon and Alan were brothers so when he saw them all huddled together; that was when he realised.
The headmaster took one last look at the five brothers and walked off to the staff room for an emergency meeting.
The headmaster had called Jeff Tracy and explained what had happened and Jeff said that he was going to pick up his five sons up.
When Jeff arrived, he wanted to know what was going on.
