"Megan!" called Darry "Megan! Get your ass out of bed and get ready for school!" I groaned and rolled over. I hate Mondays. I hate waking up all week but I especially hate waking up on Mondays.
"Megan" called Darry again.
"I'm coming" I yelled back. Then I grabbed my pillow and help it over my head trying to block out as much light as possible. My door opened.
"Darry is going to have a cow if you don't get downstairs and get ready for school." said Soda. I pulled the pillow off my head as Soda left so I could get dressed. I went downstairs groaning as I sat down at the table.
"Morning sunshine" said Dally. We had always been good friends and he was the only one which I let tease me in the morning. Or at least he was the only one who dared to. I smirked at Dally and Darry walked over giving me eggs saying
"You need to start waking up earlier the last thing you need is to be late for another day of school." I was late a lot at school. What can I say I love to sleep, and school and just something I don't enjoy waking up for. It was so much easier to roll over, curl up in a ball, and fall back asleep.
"And you had better not cut any classes today" said Darry starting on the dishes. I just remained silent and kept eating. Usually I would have a smart reply but once again it was too early.
"We have to leave in half hour" said Ponyboy sticking his head into the kitchen. "You'd better be ready"
"Ya don't worry about me" I said bringing my plate to the counter.
"I'm not worrying" he said "But I ain't waiting for you when its time to leave"
"and not being able to walk with my twin just may break my heart" I said smirking. He rolled his eyes and sat down on the couch to review for some test he had that day. Yes, Ponyboy and I were twins. We looked alike but we sure didn't act it. He was more dreamy and had goals in school and life. Not saying I don't have goals. I do, they just aren't anywhere near his. He wants to good to college and live a good life. Where as I would like to make it through high school in the next ten years and make it through the next thirty years of my life.
I got ready quickly, even fast enough that Ponyboy hadn't left yet so we walked together. Soda and Darry were getting ready for work. Dally had already left when we did. The sun was starting to rise and the sky turned orange and pink. Ponyboy pointed that out. I don't really pay attention to colours and all that stuff. I just go and go and never stop to look around.
We got to school just as the bell rang. It was late for Ponyboy but still early to me. I stopped to talk to Two-Bit and Steve as Ponyboy headed to classes. I had math. Two-Bit was luckily in my class. Thank god or else I'd probably die of boredom. Luckily he sat right in front of me. Two-Bit and I walked into math just as the announcements finished.
"Late as usual" said . I shrugged and sat down.
"Be happy were here" I said. She gave me a warning look and started to come around and check homework.
"So you were late and you didn't finish your homework." She exclaimed as she check mine.
"Did you think I was late because I was doing my homework?" I asked. She ignored me and kept on walking. After homework check she started to teach the lesson. We were learning how to calculate the slope of a line.
"Ms." I asked mid way through the lesson. "When will we ever need this in life?"
"Well the example said if you were to become an engineer…"
"Sorry let me rephrase the question, when will an average American need this?"
"This is very useful" she started.
"This is bullshit" I said. Two-bit and a few other kids chuckled.
"I think its time you went and saw Mr. Taylor." said . Mr. Taylor was the vice-principal and the one you went to saw if you got in trouble. I got to see him so often we knew each other on a first name basis. What a great way to start the day. I thought as I walked down the hallway. I got to sleep in and now I get to meet up with a friend that I hadn't seen since Wednesday. I think that's a record. Two full school days of not being sent to the office.
"Hello Henry." I said walking into his office and sitting down. He didn't like that I called him Henry but there were always more important things to talk about.
"What a surprise." He said. "What did you do this time?"
"I don't know" I said but to bad had already paged down to tell him I was coming. He told me to wait in the office while he decides my consequences. Hell more like masturbate.
"Megan" said Mr. Taylor calling me back into his office.
"Henry." I said.
He sighed and said "I have called your brother Darryl." I went wide-eyed.
"At work" I asked
"Yes" he said "he told me the next time you were to get in trouble I was to contact him immediately. He will be here shortly."
"He's coming here" I stuttered.
"yes." said Mr. Taylor. "You can wait in the office until he arrives." My life is over. I thought sitting down. Darry getting called from work to come here. He was going to kill me or I'll wish I was dead. I've done a lot of awesome things in life. I thought. At least I have a great group of friends and we beat the socs in a rumble once. Then Darry walked in. His face showed one thing. Death. My death. He pointed to Mr. Taylor's office without saying a word. I got up and dragged myself over and sat down.
