" Can I poke him? " Zeke asks as we look down at Tobias's sleeping form.
" Do not poke him" I command. Zekes finger darts out and strikes Tobias in the side, causing him to groan " Damn you Zeke"
" Shut up" Tobias groans, massaging his temples. I toss him an Advil, setting a cup of water beside him.
My parents returned last night. In their sleepy stupor, they missed Tobias laying on the couch, though I told them he was here this morning. But, sadly, today is Monday, meaning that Zeke, Uriah and I have to return to school. The brothers have been hanging around here since yesterday, helping me keep an eye on Tobias, assuring that he doesn't do anything stupid. Always a challenge with him.
" What the hell are you doing up this early?" He moans
" It's only like, what? Seven?" Zeke muses.
" Exactly"
" School" I say
" Why didn't you wake me sooner?" He asks, shifting so he can rise.
" Ah ah ah. Stay" I command with a hand on his shoulder, pushing him back onto his stomach " You aren't going that's why."
" I am to" he says, indignant
" You am not" I mock " you are staying right here"
" Tris" he whines " guys come on tell her to let me go"
" Dude did you see your back?" Tobias shoots Zeke a look "No. Okay. But dude that was some gross stuff. I'm with Trissy"
After kicking Zeke in the shins, I turn back to Tobias.
" You will stay here and relax" I demand "understand?"
" Yes mother" he says, sighing
" I'll call you at lunch" I promise, turning and leading Zeke and Uriah to the door.
We hop in our respective vehicles and drive the sort distance to school, watching the trees flash in blurred blotches of color outside my window.
The parking lot is mostly empty as we pull up, sloping into some close spots.
" Hey you three" Chris greets, rushing over.
"Hey Chrissy" I reply
" Wheres your beautiful boyfriend?" She asks, just as Will walks up.
"Hey" he protests
" Honey. Just because I can't order off the menu doesn't mean I can't look"
" He's at home" I say, shutting them up
" Why?" Asks Shauana, pecking Zeke on the lips.
" Uhhhhhhhhh" Zeke stutters " he got-"
" Sick. He got sick over the weekend. I made him stay home" I say, shooting a glance at Zeke.
"Oh. Alright. Let's head in." Lynn says, appearing behind Marlene, who kisses Uriah.

Let it be lunch already. Please. Classes are so boring. History is the most pointless thing. When I'm looking for a job who is going to be like,' To work here you must know when the Spanish conquistadors concurred the Aztecs'. Why not teach us something useful? Like how to do taxes or at least something useful.
The clocks annoyingly small hands tick around the face, exceptionally slow. The teacher babbles on and on about some obscure subject, not caring, or not knowing, that no one is listening.
