Chapter 1: A weird start of a usual day

Andy Brown was downstairs making breakfast, running late for work and getting irritated 'cause Ephram and Delia weren't out of their beds already.

"Ephram, Delia, it's past eight and the both of you are running late for school!" Andy jelled from downstairs.

"I'm coming Dad..." Ephram mumbled

With that Ephram got out of his bed and started walking towards the bathroom, where he splashed some water into his face.



"Rise and shine" he thought to himself while walking back to his room and putting on some clothes. He didn't want to be late for school again, besides he had come to the conclusion that having some education could be usefull, sometimes at least.

"Ephram, I see you have managed to get yourself out of your bed and preparing for school for once" Andy said with some sarcasm, "shall I make you some extra tasty breakfast then today?"

"Don't bother Dad, even if you wanted to make something that was actually good, it would taste awful anyway" Ephram said with a grin.

Andy looked at him and smiled, "I'll keep trying of you don't mind, then maybe if i'm old and grey I can cook something decent". Ephram started laughing and sat down at the table.

"What's taking Delia so long anyway?" Andy asked

"I don't know" Ephram said "I didn't saw her while I was upstairs,so she's probably still in her bed"

"I'll better go and wake her then" Andy said, and he walked to Delia's room..

"Delia", Andy said while knocking on her door, "are you already awake, you need to got to school..."

There was no answer so Andy opened the door and walked over to Delia's bedside, and stood there for a minute. He thought that Delia looked very cute when she was asleep and that it was a shame he needed to wake her up.

"Delia" he called softly and Delia started waking up...

"Daddy I don't want to go to school" Delia mumbled, "I'm still tired"

"I wanna sleep some more" Delia said, "and school sucks anyway".

Andy looked at her, "I don't think so young lady,get up, you're going to school!"

Delia sighed and got out of her bed, feeling dizzy when standing up..

"Now get some clothes on and then come downstairs" Andy said while turning around and walking back to the kitchen, where his pancakes became a little bit too brown.

Delia walked to her closet to find some clothes to put on, she was still feeling tired. "I hate getting up in the morning" she thought to herself.



A few minutes later they were all sitting at the table eating breakfast.

"I'm not hungry Dad" Delia softly said, her eyes fixated at the table.

"Don't be this difficult, please" Andy said irritated, "eat your breakfast and hurry up, Nina will be here to pick you up in a few minutes".

Delia looked down at her plate and decided to start eating, she was too tired to make an argument about it. Andy looked over Delia, feeling sorry about his outburst and wondering why his daughter was acting so weird today.

"Is everything alright Delia?" Andy asked her.

"Yeah I'm feeling fine" Delia said, still being mad of her fathers outburst.

That's when the doorbell rang, It was Nina to pick up Delia.

"Bye Dad, I'm going to school" Delia said, happy to have an excuse to not eat her breakfast

Andy looked at her and shook his head. "Do you know what's up with Delia, Ephram?"

"Nope" Ephram said "besides, your her father, it's your job to be up to date with her feelings and stuff" he said with a small laugh.

"Well you're being a big help, Ephram" Andy said with a smile

"I'm going Dad, hope you have a nice day at work, bye" Ephram shouted while running out of the door.

Andy cleaned the table and sighed, "raising kids is not an easy task", he thought to himself.
