I woke up to the sound of Paige's alarm. Why does she have to set it for so early? The sun was rising and the golden rays were shining through the curtains.
"Paige. Alarm." I warned. She grumbled and stood up from her bed. She pressed the button and went to the bathroom leaving me alone. I lay in my bed for another ten minutes.
Paige takes hours to get ready for school, as were I take mere minutes. I finally stood up and walked to the mirror. My hair was tangled and I had bags under my eyes. I sighed and got ready for another day of torture.
~Later that day~
After dinner that day I went to my room and finished Paige's and my homework. The sooner I'm done here, the sooner I can call my parents. I was going to call my parents to hear if I can stay there the summer.I have been missing them terribly.
Suddenly door flew open revealing the brown haired, green eyed girl.
"Elise, almost done with my homework?" Paige asked leaning over my bed looking at books.
"There you go," I said throwing the books on the floor.
She scoffed. "Thanks," she said in a sarcastic tone.
I ignored her the rest of the night. "Just this week", I kept repeating to myself in my head.
Finally Paige went to sleep giving me time to call my parents, without her eavesdropping. I got my phone out and began dialing my parent's number. Thank goodness Paige sleeps like a rock otherwise she would spoil all my plans. She looks less like a brat sleeping. A click made me turn my attention back to the phone. Someone picked the phone up really fast.
"Hello, Edna Walker speaking." My mom picked up.
"Hello, Ma, it's Elise," I said nervous. Wait, why am I nervous? It's just my mom.
"Elise! How is it going dear? *Ed, get your butt over here Elise is calling!*" I gave a light chuckle. My parents didn't change much.
"Good, and there?" I asked.
"Fine, dear. Why are you calling? Are you in trouble?" She sounded concerned.
"No, Ma, I'm just calling to hear if I can stay over the summer, all of my friends are busy and I'm not in the mood to stay in the dorm for three months." I told.
"Of course you can visit here for the summer! There's just one problem your father and I are visiting an old friend for 2 weeks and we won't be able to come get you," she said with a hint of disappointment. Oh no, looks like I will have to move on to plan B. "Ooh, I know, why don't you call your brother and ask him if you can stay with him and his friends?" she asked. She read my mind!
"Thanks, Ma, I was just thinking that."
"No problem, honey, and if your brother has a problem with that, call me. I'll sort him out for you," my mom said completely convinced.
"I will, bye Ma, tell Dad I love him," I said happy.
"Love you, sweetie. Bye!" she hung up.
I sighed. Let's hope this works. I dialed my brother's number and waited patiently.
"Um, hello, who's calling?" he sounds asleep.
"Hi, Jay, it's Elise," I tried to sound calm.
"Elise! Why are you calling so late? Is something wrong?" he sounded like mom.
"No, Jay, you sound just like mom," I smiled at myself.
"Sorry, but really why are you calling so late?" he asked.
"Jay, shut up I'm trying to sleep!" another voice in the background screamed.
"Man, I'm trying to talk to my sister!" Jay screamed back.
"Sister?" a few voices said together.
I could hear Jay moving and then I heard a door close.
"Sorry, Elise, the guys are real pains sometimes!" Jay apologized
"It's okay. I was just calling to hear if I could stay the summer with you, mom and dad are visiting a friend and I have no other place to stay," I said.
"Sure you can come stay here. I'm sure Sensei won't mind," he said.
"Great!" I said a little too loud. Paige stirred but soon settled down again. I sighed with relieve.
"Well, I'll call you tomorrow to hear where I should get you."
"I'll be sure to keep my phone with me, bye Jay."
"Bye, Elise!" he hung up.
I sighed again and fell down on my bed. Perfect, now I get to spend time with my brother and meet his friends.
I tried to fall asleep but I was too excited to even sleep a little. How can I sleep when I'm so giddy? I sat up in my bed looking around. Paige was still asleep and the hallway light was off. That means no one is awake. Okay, you have two choices. Start counting sheep or go for some late night crime fighting.
I stood up and pulled on my gear. I opened the window silently and started climbing out. I opened the panel and grabbed my bo staff as I done many times.
I made it down the street and started taking the route I planned out for myself. It was so I could stay out of the open but still can see what was going on around me. I walked for about an hour and was starting to think that nothing was going to happen.
I was walking back to the dorm when someone grabbed my shoulders. It was the snakes I defeated every time. I pulled out of his grip. I swung my bo staff at them and kicked one in the stomach. The snake wheezed for a moment but returned to his former posture.
"Ssstop fighting girl!" he hissed.
"You're only going to make it worse for yourself!" the other one said and tried to grab me again. I punched him and shook my hand hoping the pain would go away. I took my bo staff in both hands and started hitting the snakes with it. I landed a blow to one's shoulder and hip. The other one I hit on the head and legs. Both of them fell back. I gave them both a wide grin as I was about to run. I turned around and realized there were five snakes more behind me. I stared at them in shock. Where did they come from? I backed away completely forgetting the other two were behind me and bumped into one. He grabbed me again and I hit him with my elbow in the stomach. He let go and I was free to run. Suddenly some figures came out and started hitting the snakes. They began to spin making tornados in different colors. Oh no it's them! I got to get out of here! I can't let them see me. Especially the blue one. I began to run in the opposite direction of the dorm.
"Lloyd, get the one that is running away!" somebody screamed.
I began running faster. I was almost far away from them… Something grabbed me by the waist and dragged me back to the others.
"No, let me go!" I screamed and tried struggling against the strong arms to get away.
"It's a girl," my captivator screamed and turned me to face the others that were staring at me.
"Elise!" the one in blue looked at me shocked.
