Axel was studying in his room. Well…he was supposed to be.
Axel was sixteen and facing the pressures of end of year exams and pressurising parents. Revising for his exams was so hard and boring that he could spend hours procrastinating in some way or another.
He was mindlessly staring into space when his little sister Jasmine burst in on him. Axel seized his pencil and hovered it over his paper, pretending to be writing.
"Axel you'll never guess what!" Jasmine cried.
"What have Mum and Dad told you about interrupting me while I'm revising?" Axel snapped. "Do you know what six times seven is?"
"And what have Mum and Dad told you about asking me for answers?" Jasmine retorted. "It's forty-two."
Axel scribbled this down.
"But you'll never guess what!" Jasmine repeated. "There's this cat and I think he's joining the Muppets!"
"So?" said her brother.
"So? Have you seen him?"
"No, I haven't."
"Well you have to! He's sooooo hot!"
Axel sighed.
"What should I do, Axel?" Jasmine asked. "Should I ask him out?"
"If you want to."
"I couldn't possibly! I'd be waaaaay to shy!"
"Jasmine, I don't have time to hear about your damn romance problems, love is stupid, I've got to focus on my exams. Now if you can't tell me about Pythagoras' Theory, then could you please go away!"
"Oh, Pythagoras' Theory is easy-"
"GO AWAY!"
Sorry it's so short, not much inspiration.
