Shelby rolled out of bed around 5:30, which was typical on a week day. She lumbered into the bathroom and started her personal morning routine: took a shower, threw on some
clothes, put on a little bit of eyeliner, and pulled her hair back into a
messy bun. By the time she was finished it was only 6:00, so she decided to start making breakfast. First she made scrambled eggs, then a few chocolate chip pancakes, and then some toast. When she was finished with
that it was around 7:00. Shelby made her way to her brother's rooms and sighed. Getting her brothers up for the day was no easy feat.
First she entered Nick's room (The youngest boy. Now 9)
"Nick. It's time to get up. I made breakfast" she said softly but sternly. She pulled his curtains up and turned on his bedroom light. The boy rolled over and made a whining sound.
"Nick, just get up. I know you hate getting up but everyone's gotta get out of bed sometime" the boy groaned again but didn't get out of bed.
"Fine. I'll go wake up Evan, but when I come back you better be up and getting dressed" she commanded. She walked the short distance to Evan's room and pushed the door open (Evan is now 11). The routine was the same for him. Pull his curtains and turn on his lights.
"Evan. Get up" she said loudly. The boy didn't stir.
"EVAN! Get uuuuuuup" she said in a singsongy voice. The boy moved slightly and opened his eyes.
"Can't we just skip school today" he groaned.
"Do we ever skip school?" Shelby laughed. It wasn't as if she had let them skip school before.
"I'll be back Evan. Get up and get dressed please" Then she walked back to Nick's room. He was still laying in his bed and she rolled her eyes. Very quietly she jumped onto his bed and started bouncing. His whole bed shook and she could tell it startled him, but that was her point. To startle him awake so he'd have no chance of falling back asleep. It worked. Nick got up and started getting dressed.
"Come eat breakfast when you're done and i'll take you to school" she said with a smile. She was about to head back to Evan's room but she peeked into his doorway and found that he was already getting dressed so she wasn't going to disturb him.
They ate breakfast pretty quickly and piled into Shelby's car. Shelby dropped them off at their elementary school and got out to give both of them a hug.
"Pick you up after school" she said. They nodded and headed into the building. When she arrived at her school there was a black limo outside it. She rolled her eyes but kept a smile on her face.
'Probably Ivan Kendall' she thought. Everyone knew Ivan and all the girls swooned over him....except Shelby. Shelby walked up to the school, pushed past all of the girls and walked in through the double doors.
