Day 2
Lawrence walks into our bedroom and pokes us. "Wake up sleepy heads, time to get ready for school,"
"Ow but father its 6:30 we never wake up this early,"
"No, No we didn't, but we might as well ruin our sleeping pattern for the rest of the month if we aren't careful,"
"Hahahaha I suppose. Ow what's our school like? Is it full of good teachers? I know we saw the outside of it but still," Phineas says.
Phineas had a twinkle in his eye I couldn't smack out of him. No matter how many times, it still probably wouldn't come out.
We were nearing the school and I know we had to go to the office first but I was nervous about how the kids were like. Like were there retards, nerds, bullies, clicks, that sort of thing. I know there is no difference but I couldn't help myself.
We step into the school and the smell of Tim Horton's coffee on teachers desks made me crave. We walk to the office and tell the secretary our names.
"Ow hello Phineas, Ferb, we were expecting you,"
By this time the kids were pilling in and to their lockers.
"Come on into the office should be right with you,"
Before we could take a step the principal was already here. Tall, thin, perfectly prep, his suit took away from his face.
"Hello boys! On the behalf of this school we welcome you," We start walking down the halls to where the last of the kids were walking into class.
"Here are your lockers. I hope you don't mind being beside each other,"
153,154 we were around the end of the hall with 40 or so empty lockers.
"Here are your locks. Soon as you put your jackets in we will begin with proper procedure to choosing classes for brothers,"
"Excuse me a second but you mind if we are together? We don't exactly function separate," Phineas says with a firm yet settle voice.
"Ow! Well yes I suppose you could be together. Any reason?"
"Were step brothers and the best of friends,"
After a short pause the principal turns and takes a few steps before happily gesturing us to come. We walk down the hall turning right then left. Near the end of the hall we stop in front of a closed door.
"Here are your agendas, schedules, and textbooks for the week," he hands us the stuff he had been carrying.
Knock Knock
A male teacher, slim, brown hair and in gym attire he opens the door. Puzzled by his appearance I figure he taught Gym as well. He steps out of the classroom and welcomes us.
"Hello! I am Mr. Kennedy. Inside is the home room you will be following from subject to subject,"
He opens the door and leads us in.
"Class Here is two new students and treat them well. Now would you like to share something about yourselves? Like were your from and such," I slouch my shoulders and Phineas perks up. What a drag really, to have to stand up here.
Phineas starts "Hi I am Phineas and this is Ferb. Were brothers and we make oaff* I nudge him really hard in the leg hoping he doesn't say anything about our inventions*I mean we are Americans moved from Danville," Phineas turns around and looks for a desk, almost stumbling into it. Everyone breaks out laughing.
"Ughh and you Ferb?" Mr. k says quickly.
"Hi. I was born in Britain and moved to the USA were I met my step brother. I enjoy engineering and a bit of basketball in my free time," I move toward another empty desk.
Hours later at lunch…
"What was that all about Ferb?" Phineas sits down in the corner of the gym.
"Kids don't need to know about our inventions," I say.
A group of kids come towards us and sit down.
"Hey. I'm Franz. This is emmer, iris, and Femi. You two seam really cool. Well you know what happened this morning!"
3:00
"Hey Ferb, me and the gang are going to play some 3 on 3 you want to came play with your bro?"
By now the "gang" knows that I don't talk much around others accept my family so I give him a "yes" look and nod. We grab our stuff and walk outside to the hoops.
One, two, layup
"Wow what a move! Through the legs, around the back, and layup." Franz says as I chest pass him the ball.
"Yeah he's some player alright. You know he has been playing since he was six? What a kid for a sciencie person," Phineas says as he puts his arm around me.
A few more layups and 6 passes later everyone falls back exhausted.
"Thanks for the invite!" Phineas says with a smile.
"No problem. Don't get into trouble you two." Emmer says as he gives us this funny evil eye.
We get up, say our good-byes and head home. We walk into the house and to our shock we see mother crying on the floor in the living room. I look around and sign Phineas to be quiet. Closing the door quietly we sneak up stairs to our room.
"Woa what happened," Phineas says as he stumbled of the words.
"I don't know. Be right back," I say then sign him to keep quiet and stay.
Going all ninja stealth I creep downstairs and look into the living room making sure she doesn't see me. Quietly but surly I fail to see the problem of this. "Mom," I walk towards her and sit down beside her.
"What's going on?"
Quickly and to no surprise he mauls me in hugs.
"Ow Ferb you wouldn't understand how wonderful this house is,"
Immediately I know she's lying .
"Yeah. Me and Phineas played 3 on 3 with our new friends after school," Linda lets go and wipes her eyes.
"Good for you honey. See I told you this move was worth it,"
"Not for you?"
"No, not for me. I can't stand being away Danville, my freeform jazz band etc…"
"Well if I get through it then you should be able to too!"
Father opens the door and sees us sitting on the carpet.
"Love. What's wrong?"
Father walks over and Phineas runs downstairs. I get up and signal Phineas to go back upstairs. Father put his keys on the counter and kneels down and hugs her from behind. I sense this is the moment Linda has been waiting for.
We practically ran upstairs almost tripping over Perry.
"What's wrong?" Phineas says as we enter our bedroom.
"Come with me," I usually am the one Linda talk to about her problems. Yeah, yeah I know usually it should be the husband but father hasn't been there for her when she needs him most. He's either at work or is all strung up in the garage. So she talks to me. Well, I force her to talk so she doesn't become depressed.
We walk to my closet and I open it. I shuffle some things and a door is revealed. Opening the door I step in and tell Phineas to close it. We take a sharp turn to the right, walk down a couple steps, and a turn to the left to reveal a large chest and a window.
"Wow I didn't know this little room was possible,"
I sit down and look out the window.
"Open the box,"
Phineas opens it and finds a skateboard, few magazines, and a how to understand body language book. Phineas picks the book up.
"Ow I see. Yeah I get it,"
"Do you?" I say a little stern.
"Well yeah um yeah no, not at all,"
"Haven't you ever been there to see mother with an upset face and an uncomfortable position. She's having a hard time with the thought of the move. Even the week we were packing. She was practically forcing her band to play jazz with her," I say a little stern before calming my voice.
"Ow really? I haven't noticed. * We go silent for minute or two*How's about we talk to the gang now?"
We head out making sure the chest was closed. I open a few boxes and dump a few till I find the one with the projector and such.
I set up it all in a record breaking 3 minutes. I flip open the computer and click the video chat button. To our surprise we see everyone was on.
"Um I guess you don't have to text them now. Put the phone away!" I snap in a whisper.
"PHINEAS! FERB!" everyone screams.
"Hey everyone," Phineas says with delight.
"How's Ehhh Canada? Are there any nerds there, because I hear Americans recruit people from Canada?" Buford says in his oafish tone.
"Hahaha none so far. We played a little basketball today with some friends though," I say excitedly.
"Ooeeee Phineas hope you aren't going to replace us?" Isabella says.
"Don't worry Issy we won't replace you even in our dreams!"
"Huuhhh he said dreams. I'm in his dreams,"
"Huh?" everyone says.
"Nothing, nothing,"
"So Ferb, are the tests more challenging?"
"Well we haven't had one yet but I suppose,"
"Oww I'm so jealous of you. Send me every test you take ok?"
"Um sure Baljeet," I roll my eyes.
Day3
We come home from another great day. Schools great, our house is great, the cities great I don't think I would trade this for the world. Accept a Popsicle then maybe. Nah I'm kidding you.
We walk over to the couch and flop on it. Sitting there we turn the TV on for a moment before screaming occurs. We whip our heads around to see Candace screaming at her phone. I think she's gone crazy that girl.
"OMG, Jeremy's going out with Jessica!"
"And, this is shocking why?" Phineas says with a smart aleck face.
"Because Jeremy's my crush. MYN MYN MYN!"
"You do realize this is completely idiotic,"
"Ahuh and I care why?"
"Because you're making a complete fool of yourself. And anyway isn't there any cute guys at your school?" I say.
"NO! Eww why would you think that? Well yeah no. Ok, ok maybe. FINE!"
"There we go! You will see Jeremy soon," Phineas says a little delighted.
We turn off the TV and go outside into the back yard. Well this yard is much nicer. There's like 3 full grown trees a nice garden and a small stream on the other side of the fence.
Skip ahead
