Sam pov:

I wake to my alarm blaring a cringy apple ringtone. Who is calling me at what? It's 5 am? Who is it, I think to myself as I grab my phone before it wakes my dad up. It's Leo! I answer. "Hey dude what's up?" I say in a very tired voice. "Bro I JUST found out we are going into online school, want to play Minecraft in class like in 2020 when Covid first hit?" They say they are very excited, Minecraft is our favorite game and my grades are good, dad wouldn't mind… "Of course! I'll make sure to not use a school laptop so I can play." I say but I hear tossing so I quickly hang up and text Leo.

Sammy pammy: 'Hey dude sorry dad is awake :/.'

Leo da cheeto: 'Nah it's all good as long as it's Hotchy poo bear πŸ˜πŸ˜˜βœ¨πŸ’…'

Sammy Pammy: 'oml you need to stop simping over my DAD :,p'

Leo da cheeto: 'bro I can't help he is a DILFFF'

I roll my eyes as I read the text and as soon as I am about to reply I hear my dad's footsteps by my door. I quickly turn off my phone and fake sleep. I hear my door creak open. "Sam what are you doing awake at this hour, I know damn well you are not sleeping." he says in a stern, dad tone. "I just woke up 10 minutes ago and my friend called me because they just got news of online school." I say hoping to get my dad off my ass. "Okay but I don't want to deal with a cranky Sam in the morning. "Okay it's my last day of break today so I'm going to sleep all day if that's okay, I don't get a lot of it during school." I say, wanting to sleep but knowing I'm going to be up later texting Leo. "Okay but please go to sleep, we both are tired and soon to be cranky." he says already ready to go back to bed. I hope he goes to sleep quickly so I can text Leo. They said something about a cute guy that I might like, a few weeks ago. "Okay dad, goodnight love you" I say ready to text Leo. "Night love you to Sam." he says, already closing the door going to his bedroom at the beginning of the hall. Once I am sure that he is at least in his room I pull out my phone.
