Time for school

‘‘Time to get up, Caleb.’’ The dad knocks at the door while he said that. Caleb turn over to his back and rubbed his eyes. He got off the bed, got out of his room, he saw his dad waking two of his brothers up. He walked up to the restroom door, tried to open it. Caleb knocked at the door, saying, ‘‘Give me my toothbrush.’’ His brother knocked at the door, repeating what Caleb said. Caleb said,

‘‘Seriously, Troy. Give me my toothbrush.’’ Troy said,

‘‘What? Don’t give you your toothbrush? Ok I won’t.’’ Caleb grabbed the doorknob, shook the door, then hit the door. Troy did the samething as Caleb. A few seconds later, a deep manly voice said, ‘‘Give, him, his toothbrush, NOW.’’ Troy knew it meant business, Troy slightly open the door, he gave him the toothbrush, and closed the door. The dad said,

‘‘We are going to talk after school, boy.’’ Caleb went to another restroom, watch his face, and got ready.

Meanwhile in another house, a woman went to her only daughter’s bedroom, and whispered,

‘‘Honey, time for school.’’ Moving her daughter softly. The girl didn’t move an inch, the mom moved her softly again, whispering, ‘‘Honey, time for school.’’ The girl slowly opened her eyes, the mom said,

‘‘Time to get up Sharon.’’ Sharon got up, walked to the restroom, she stumbled to the walls. Her mom guided her to the restroom, Sharon washed her face, brushed her teeth, got dressed, and ate breakfast. The mom asked, ‘‘Excited for school?’’

Sharon said, ‘‘Not really. I don’t like school.’’

The mom said, ‘‘You sound like your mother.’’ She walked over to Sharon, saying, ‘‘I didn’t like school either, but like how one of my old friends used to say, ‘‘It concocts you for the real world.’’

Sharon asked, ‘‘What does that mean?’’

The mom said, ‘‘To get you ready, y’know.’’

Sharon asked, ‘‘Where’s your friend?’’ The mom said, ‘‘I don’t know, we haven’t talked for a while.’’

Sharon asked, ‘‘Why?’’ Her mom said, ‘‘Grown up stuff. Now go get ready, and stop asking questions, missy.’’ In a playful voice. Sharon went to her room and got dress.

Back in Caleb’s house, he walked out the door, got into the car, and drove to school. After fifteen minutes, they arrived at school. Caleb open the door, got down the car, close the door, and started walking. His dad rolled down the window,

‘‘Caleb!’’ Caleb turned with an annoyed face.

His dad said, ‘‘Remember, put GOD first!’’

Caleb mouth the words, ‘‘Yeah, I know.’’ He said, ‘‘Bye, boy!’’ His dad drove off, then after a few seconds, another car drove up into pickup/drop off area. Sharon’s mom said,

‘‘Ok, Sharon. We’re here.’’ Sharon said,

‘‘Ok mom. Bye. They hugged each other, ‘‘You behave, ok?’’

Sharon said, ‘‘Ok, I will.’’ Her mom kissed her, then Sharon got off of the car, and she walked to class. She arrived in her assigned class, while Caleb got to his assigned class.
