The Eye-Patch Teen

A Common Dawn

Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep  slam. "OK I'm up I'm up," I groaned. I yawned accepting I was up back in my dreaded reality aka anything that's not my daydream/sleep life. I  dragged myself to the second-floor bathroom. I began knocking lightly telling whoever was in there to hurry up. My sister Kara yelled, "A little busy here." I growled getting irritated. Why does she take so damn long in the fucking bathroom? 

That's Kara Linx, she's 17 and turning 18 on May 8th. Which is a ways away. It is currently November 2nd, 2009. She's 5'5, has green eyes, she's white, and she has red hair. On my 14th birthday, she dyed my hair for me. I can actually tolerate my sisters, it's Miko that's a problem. She also has a boyfriend named Johnny, who my family fucking hates. She's commonly out with him or at cheer practice or in her bedroom blasting music, homework, or uh, make-up.

 I started going down my long dark oak steps nicknamed, "the stairs to hell." The stairs were given this name by my oldest sister Linda who no longer lives with us but is visiting. Shit, I forget what she does for a job now but I don't really care. I was making my way down but then I fell. I slipped up landed on my ass then slid down the rest of the tall stairs. I yelled in pain and embarssement, "OH FUCK SHIT DAMMIT AHHH GODDAMMIT!" This is gonna be a shitty day. My younger brother Miko laughed at me. 

Allow me to introduce you to Miko Sullivan Linx the brat of the family, He's an unnatural blonde he copied me when I turned 14 in eighth grade when I first dyed my hair green which was about a year ago But I just recently dyed my hair red. So, Miko, he's not exactly light skin his tone is a bit more pastel than mine. He has green eyes with straight hair. He's 5'8 I'm 5'10 right now. My doctor says I might push to 6'2 By 17. Miko is 13 years old. With a group of nerds aka "His goons" As I call them. He's my mother's favorite or "Pride of Joy" Do you guys think my attitude is bad? Well, his is times worse at least I can stop talking.

My mother ran over to me yelling "Mike Mike are you ok?" "Dammit yeah, mom I'm fine." I heard my father laughing in the garage. I yelled at him in frustration, "Yeah yeah Ok! I love you too you douche." I paused and smiled then laughed loudly I was in pain but I found it hysterical. I went and used the bathroom and then brushed my teeth. I needed a new toothbrush and mouthwash and a razor. Miko used it again. "Miko stop using my fucking razor you Bitch!" I wrote a note on my phone to go shopping for my stuff. Miko then yelled, "Do you ever stop complaining!?" My mom called me shouting "Mikey come on for breakfast!" I left the bathroom and walked over to the table and sat next to my father. "Okay, family today made Eggs, and bacon with a side of OJ and for my special boys (Me and My Dad) apple juice." Thanks, mom." "Thanks, hon."  My sister Linda whose college asked, "how's school going for you guys?" 

Miko was the first to reply "Why doesn't anyone see we don't need school." I responded to Miko saying "We need school for some things in life like college."  He snarkily responded saying, "Of course, Michael you wouldn't see, a matter of fact I bet you have a lot of trouble seeing many things these days." I snapped back, "Did you know Miko my middle fingers find you hella attractive." I flipped him off. Kara got up and went to go get ready stating "It's way too damn early for this." My mom yelled "That's enough both of you I'm sick of you bickering Michael it was an accident get over it! I know it's hard it's been like 7 years!" I got even angrier and yelled at my mother saying. "This is such bullshit why are you yelling at me? Are you a retard he's the one giving all these disrespectful subliminal insults! This is such favoritism!" My father screamed at me shouting, "MICHAEL LINX DONT EVER TALK TO YOUR MOTHER LIKE THAT, APOLOGIZE NOW." "Fine. Mom, Dad I'm sorry...... THAT I'M NOT FUCKING PRISSY PERFECT BITCH LIKE HE IS! THE REASON I'M LIKE THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE, HE DID THIS TO ME!

"Michael don't blame him. He's apologized a million times." I ignored her and stormed upstairs. My sleeping puppy now awake began following me. I made it to my room my puppy Ice followed. I wanted to punch the wall or my mirror but I kept myself composed. I can't afford another broken mirror I've broken one already." My sister Linda knocked on my door I didn't want to open it but she opened it anyway. "How did you get in?" She responded snarkily "Well this was my room and I still have the key. Look I know Miko can be annoying and I'm sorry. But dad wanted me to get you, ill get your stuff ready kk? So go see dad." I got up still mad but thanked her and said, "Linda... Your alright." She gladly accepted my compliment and smiled.

 I walked past Miko and kara and went into the cold dimly lit garage "RAWR!" My father jumped out from that dreaded dark corner that traumatized me as a child since my siblings scared me. I fell backward terrified, "DAD, WHAT THE HELL?" "I'm sorry I couldn't resist. Look but in all seriousness, I know your brother can be annoying and I know your mom can seem biased I mean he is the youngest. But then what you said to your mom was a lot." I paused and thought then asked, "Dad has there ever been a time when you wanted to slap one of us for arguing?" "HELL YEAH!" We both laughed. "Well, why didn't you?" I puzzled. "Wellllll when you guys were younger if I were to even lay a finger with bad intent your mother would kill me no question. No more garage dad."

 "Ohh ok, makes sense." I chuckled. "But I trust you out of most of your siblings so I need you to go to the" I chimed in cutting him off saying "Go to the store and buy more toothpaste and mouthwash." "Uhh yeah, here $40 go crazy." "Thanks, Dad." Out of nowhere, Kara yelled, "Family bus is here!" 

"Alright, dad I'm going to hell... Love you." We both laughed I left the cold garage hearing him say, "Love you to son." I walked into the warmer living room "Time to go!" My mom shouted. Linda came quickly down the stairs with my bag. "That sounded like a herd of animals coming down the stairs. You that excited to get rid of me?" She paused then said "Um yes." Then she shoved all 4 of us out then slammed the door. We began depressingly walking on the school bus. Great I predict another shitty day of School.
