1"Boys! Oh my god what's wrong with you!?!?" Carey didn't expect to see this as she walked into her sons' bedroom.
"What?" Cody replied, eyes half open.
"What about school!?!? Cody why aren't you already gone?"
"Mom, today is Friday, remember when I told you that there's no school today?" Cody dropped his head back onto the bed. Zack was stirring from the commotion caused by Carey's yelling.
"No, there's no school today? Isn't next week spring break?"
"Yeah mom, let us sleep. That'd be a good idea."
"Well...alright honey." Carey closed the door gently and walked over to the front door of the suite. She didn't remember Cody telling her about school being out, but oh well. The paper was already on the floor. She pucked it up and walked over to the couch. She plopped herself down, and recoiled by pulling her sore shoulder back up, wincing.
She began looking through the paper, pulling out the weather and sports sections: the two she never read. She set them aside and began to read about some new businesses coming to Boston. She was skimming over the obiituaries afterward, and ran across two names that shouldn't be there.
Zack finally woke, after Cody tapping him, and shoving him, and calling his name, and pulling his hair, and tickling his feet, and pinching his Achilles heel, and staring at him, and sitting on him, and finally after threatening to destroy his cell phone. He was weary and tired still, but Cody began talking.
"Mom believed it. She wasn't skeptical at all. Isn't that great!?" Cody was thrilled and wide awake. Zack was just smiling, he knew it would work.
"Alriiighhh" Zack ended the word with a yawn, "Alright. Did you get the paper yet? She doesn't need to be reading it."
"Why not, Zack?"
"Cody, she just shouldn't." Zack wanted to leave it like that, and Cody went with it, reluctantly.
"Ok I'll go out. But they're usually not here yet. I'll just watch for it. Are you gong to sleep some more?"
"I think I'll get up whenever I hear bacon frying, and the toaster, and the oranges screaming as they are being squeezed for me to drink." Cody smirked towards his brother and walked into the suite. Zack looked at him walk, away; his hair was a total mess. He never saw Cody's hair like that since he never was awake when Cody first gets up. He flopped back onto his side, and closed his eyes. Dreaming of a world without school.
All of a sudden, Cody bursted into the room, slammed the door and ran over to him. "Mom's already got the paper? What shouldn't she have read in it?"
Zack's day was turned upside down, "Damn it!" He slammed his head back into his pillow several times until Cody grabbed a hold of it.
"What was in it?" Cody demanded.
"Something that would have made our lives completely different, just by taking them away from certain people."
Zack was smirking, so it was a riddle, Cody thought. He thought for a few more seconds, his face turned into horror. "Were you sure we could have gotten away with it, if mom didn't read the paper."
"I had a plan that was surefire. Little brother, it is an awesome idea but it's too late now if she had already read the tobictionaries."
"Obituaries, Zack. I don't want to know how you did it, but let's not do anything about it yet. Let's go through the day, and maybe tomorrow too, seeing what mom would say about it, and then we can find out what to do with your plan; if it's salvageable."
Zack was thinking the same thing, and readily agreed.
