"I don't think I can make it!" Hugo whined from his sprawled out position on the maroon colored couch.
"Hm?" Rose replied, etching more words onto the parchment in front of her with her quill.
"I'm done with school!" Hugo exclaimed even louder when he realized he wasn't getting enough attention.
"Hugo, stop! I'm trying to work," Rose snapped as she turned around to glare at her insufferable, loud brother.
Hugo rolled over and smirked to himself, enjoying the fact that he was succeeding in annoying his sister. Rose's hair was a frizzy, tangled mess that fell in front of her face as she leaned over her essay. There was a light ink smudge on the side of her nose that she took no notice too. She must have been working on her homework for hours now and Hugo was amazed she able to focus on anything with the upcoming Christmas break in a few days.
"The two most joyous times of the year are Christmas morning and the end of school," Hugo said. "Pretty soon it'll be Christmas and we'll have a break from school. I don't think I can make it!"
Me neither, Rose thought. Although her need for a break from school had less to do with the actual school part and more of a need to be away from a certain persistent, blond menace.
