I hate the sound of the alarm clock, BEEP! It's now Monday and I had the worst trouble getting up. Alvin was the first one out of bed to, he turned off the alarm and the lights came on. My eyes ached; my body wasn't ready for school. I felt Theodore shaking me,
"Wake up Simon!" He yelled. I managed to get up and get dressed. I was the last one downstairs for breakfast. Melody was reading the newspaper; yep she was actually reading the newspaper. The older she got, the more tomboyish she got. I always thought it was because she was the only girl in the house.
"What a bunch of bull crap!" Melody yelled.
"What?" Alvin said with a mouth full of cereal.
"Teen parents deny acceptance to Harvard to stay at home and raise the baby."
"What retards, who would deny an acceptance to Harvard just so they can take care of their baby? I mean at least get your parents to care for it."
"Some parents can't." Theodore said. "Parents have jobs and all sorts of things to do." I poured cereal in my bowl; I didn't want to take part in this conversation about teen parents.
When we got to school I rushed to my first class, Science. Jeanette was sitting as usual in her seat. I went and sat next to her. That whole time we were learning about the Swine Flu, or as we call it, H1N1. In Honors Geometry, I was pared up with Jeanette to do a bunch of math problems and we were the first ones done.
I packed up and headed to music class, I had forgotten that Melody was teaching our class for a whole week for an assignment. I played the baritone in regular band, Alvin played saxophone, Theodore played percussion, Brittany played the flute, Jeanette played the clarinet, and Eleanor was not in band. Eleanor plays the violin so she plays in the Orchestra. I know Melody is first chair trumpet in Senior Band, so I guess that's why she got to teach the band class.
"Good morning." Melody said. "My name is Melody, first chair trumpet player in the Senior Band." Alvin was already on it, he raised his hand. "Alvin, we already know who you are, PUT YOU'RE HAND DOWN!" Alvin put his hand down and said,
"Oh forbid me to ask a question."
"Shut up, Alvin." I whispered under my breathe, so of course he couldn't hear me so he continued,
"Yeah, um, Melody, since you're my sister, can I go sit next to Brittany?"
"Would that make you happy, Alvin?" Melody said sweetly.
"Ugh yeah."
"THEN YOU CAN JUST STAY WHERE YOU ARE!" I had to admit, Melody was good. Alvin had shut his mouth after that.
It was now lunch, the Chipettes and Melody had the same lunch period as Alvin, Theodore, and I. We sat at the table, Melody started,
"Why must you constantly ruin my life, Alvin?"
"Because it's fun." Alvin replied.
"Well, that wasn't funny what you did today, Alvin." Brittany said.
"What, why?" Alvin asked.
"Melody is getting graded for how the students behave."
"So what?"
"Could you at least show some respect for her?" I asked.
"No, not really." Alvin giggled.
"Aw, I wish I could have been there." Eleanor whined.
"You'd rather wish you hadn't." Jeanette said.
The rest of the whole day went smoothly, it felt short. When we got home Dave greeted us,
"How was your first day back?" He asked.
"It would have been fine if Alvin kept his mouth shut!" Melody complained.
"What did you do this time, Alvin?" Dave said facing Alvin.
"He embarrassed me while I was student teaching."
"I was livening things up." Alvin replied.
"Alvin, no more or you'll be punished." Dave said.
"But Dave?"
"No buts." Theodore began to laugh,
"What's so funny?" I asked. Theodore whispered in my ear,
"He said butt."
