Reading

I’m having a seriously hard time getting used to the fact that summer is over and I have to get out of bed every morning to go to school. My summer did not exactly get off to a great start, thanks to my older brother Rodrick.

A couple of days into summer vacation, Rodrick woke me up in the middle of the night. He told me I slept through the whole summer, but that luckily I woke up just in time for the first day of school.

You might think I was pretty dumb for falling for that one, but Rodrick was dressed in his school clothes and he set my alarm clock ahead to make it look like it was the morning. Plus he closed my curtains so I couldn’t see that it was still dark out.

After Rodrick woke me up. I just got dressed and went downstairs to make myself some breakfast, like I do every morning on a school day. But I guess I must have made a pretty big racket because the next thing I know, dad was downstairs, yelling at me for eating cheerios at 3 o’clock in the morning.
