She had finally convinced Kyle to set it up for her last night while Max put
her bed together.
She plopped back down on her bed covering her face with her pillow and
stretching out.
She didn’t know if she could take going to a new school. She had had a hard
time making new friends at her old school and she already missed them.
“Are you up yet Max?” She heard her mother call to Max’s room straight
across the hall.
“Working on it.” Was his tired reply.
Maria threw her pillow on the bed as she stood back up and went over to her
dresser and started rummaging through her clothes.
Liz felt someone poking her in her side. She slid one eye open to find her
sister’s tired face.
“You up?” Tess asked sitting down on the bed.
“Am now.” Liz replied grouchily.
“If you don’t get a move on we’re going to be late.” Tess said lying down
beside her sister and closing her eyes.
“What time is it?” Liz asked trying to see around Tess head to look at her
alarm clock.
“6:32,” Tess said opening her eyes, “We have exactly 28 minutes till Michael
gets up.”
“Come on.” Liz said sitting up and shoving on her sister.
“It’s time to go. I told you to get up earlier!” Max yelled into his
sister’s room.
“I’ve just got to put on my lipstick, and shoes. Chill out Mighty Mouse.”
She yelled back turning up her music; Metallica always helped her get
motivated.
Michael rolled over and hit the off button on his alarm clock.
He swung his feet off the bed onto the floor beneath him, and walked over to
his radio which, of course, was sitting on his dresser. He flipped it on and
turned the knob to CD.
Instantly ‘Fuel’ by Metallica filled his room as he started searching
through his clothes.
Tess shot Liz a panicked look and Liz started doing Tess hair for her. They
quickly switched places allowing Tess to o Liz hair.
As soon as Michael turned on Metallica it meant he was already getting
dressed.
