Chapter 2

Then, Jeanette jumped on the kitchen counter, and she saw a flash of red and medium brown. Simon's glasses are much stronger than I would like. How does he see through these?, she thought.

In front of her, Alvin hung from the ceiling-attached pot rack, barely hanging on with his tail. He was wearing a maroon-coloured button-up pajama top with the same coloured pajama pants. He jumped down and looked guiltily at Jeanette. "I am sorry for taking your glasses," Alvin said calmly as he handed Jeanette her glasses, "Here are your glasses. Next time, I will try not to. Will you help me wake everybody up?"

"It is okay, Alvin, just try to do something else, like stealing a toothbrush. It's only 8:30 a.m., but banging on pots will only wake Eleanor up, which is almost ineffective because the objective is to wake up Brittany and Theodore also," Jeanette looked around the kitchen, "I need to give Simon his glasses back. I will come back later to set up breakfast. Okay Alvin?"

"I guess," replied Alvin, while smirking, "Come back in 30 minutes. I'll wake up Theodore."

As Jeanette approached her shared bedroom, she was a little calmer. She was still wearing Simon's glasses, which did not help her much. She climbed onto the staircase, which led to her and her sisters' triple-bunk bed.
