Disclaimer: Yeah, pretty self explanatory. I don't own anything but the story...
A/N: I actually have today and tomorrow like a free combination day. To study, that is. So this is my break, here's to two midterms left!
taynzpink: I will, it bothers me when I keep putting it to the side. So at least this is later for a reason, not just becuase I procrastinate.
Insane and Logical: Thanks! I needed some evil plan of some sort...
Chapter 6: Fights
Jake:
Mornings. In a house of fourteen, it's hectic. Even when school is out. We get up a little later, but still have a time to be up, dressed, and at the breakfast table.
Sarah and I are normally the first ones up; it's a habit I guess. But it's also to get the bathroom before anyone. We get up at least 45 minutes earlier. But we're walking towards the bathroom, half asleep, when we notice that someone is in there.
"Lorraine..." we growled.
I started banging on the door while Sarah yelled. "Hey! Princess! Do you mind?! Other people have to get ready!"
"You snooze, you lose. And I have to get this beautiful on weekends in case we go out somewhere," Lorraine squeaked. We rolled our eyes.
I shook my head. "I don't care! I have to go to the bathroom!"
"Well, hold it or use Mom and Dad's bathroom."
"We tried. They're in there! And it's our turn, it's on the chart," Sarah crossed her arms. So, I looked across to the bathroom chart. The weekend one. "It states: 'As long as Sarah and Jake are up and in the bathroom by 9:15, they are entitled to use it until 9:40.'" Sure enough, it was 9:16 already, we were early.
"I don't care!" the voice behind the door yelled.
So we waited, and waited, and waited. And she stayed there until 10:30. There was a line behind us.
"This is so wrong!" Jessica yelled.
Mike's eyes shifted from side to side.
"What is going through your head?" I asked with a glare.
"Well, let's just say this. Lorraine likes to do her hair with the door shut for privacy. Without a door, she can't do anything," Mike laughed evilly.
Sarah nodded, and so did I. "It's perfect," Sarah grinned. "Mike, get what you need. Um, Henry, stepstools. Kim, Jessica, Nigel, and Kyle, pillows. Mark, lookout." Everyone nodded and got up to do the jobs.
I stared, "So what do we do?"
"Wait. Wait for everyone to come back."
So, 15 minutes later, everyone did come back. Mike handed Sarah a screwdriver, and then gave one to me. Mike worked on the last hinge, Sarah worked on the middle, and I worked on top.
"Got it!" I whispered and got down with my hand against the door, then let go. We made a run for it.
A few seconds later, we heard a very faint crash (thanks to all the pillows, it landed even softer than we considered. Minutes after, a blow dryer and loud music shut off, and then we heard a high pitched scream.
"Mooooooooom!" Lorraine yelled. We heard her 'story' from the living room downstairs. Then, Dad came to us.
"Which one of you...unhooked the door from its hinges?" He stared. "Ok, if you turn yourselves in now, you won't get in trouble. So. Who did this?"
We all raised our hands (except for Charlie and Nora, who were working).
"Alright. Who were the masterminds?"
All hands dropped, except for Mike's.
"Interesting. Only one this time. Who unlatched the door?"
Mike, Sarah, and I raised our hands.
"Hm. Team work. Who participated?"
Everyone raised their hands again.
"Can someone explain to me why you did this? And by someone, I do mean one." He scanned for someone to talk. "Jacob, my boy, explain what got into your heads."
I sighed, "Well it all started when Lorraine took up our shower time, and then Henry's, then Kim and Jessica's, then Mark's, then Mike's, then Nigel and Kyle's. So, we decided to get her out..."
"Wait. She took up everyone's time?" Everyone nodded. "Alright. I'm letting you off this time. But if you make a habit out of unhooking doors, then you'll be in trouble." Everyone nodded once again.
"And, after you put the door back on the hinges, you will take turns to get ready for lunch."
Dang. A plan well though out. But apparently not enough.
We missed breakfast!
A/N: R&R everyone!
