I woke up and went to the kitchen and I saw mike and Pat in the kitchen
I walked over to Mike and messed up his hair
Hey. I said and went to the fridge and got some fruit
Hey. Pat said
How am I gonna deliver papers at Jellystone park? Mike asked
I already talked to Mr. Williams about it. Your buddy Jakeem-- he's gonna take over the paper route until we get back. Pat said
Back from where? Courtney asked when her and mom walked in
You didn't tell her? I asked mom as I ate my bowl of fruit
Not the details. Mom said
The details about what, exactly? Courtney asked
Dad's summer vacation. Mike said
2 weeks of rest, relaxation, family fun, no cosmic staff, no
S. T. R. I. P. E. Just some well deserved time off for everyone. Except Ash if he doesn't want to go. Pat saidYeah. Mom said
Two whole weeks? Courtney asked
Yeah. Pat said
Can we do a vote? Mike asked
Love that idea. And how does Ashton get to pick if he stays? Courtney asked
I'm a adult, and you two are not. I said
All in favor for ditching this vacay because we got like real work to do here? Mike asked and him and Courtney raised their hands
Hold it a second. All in favor of a family trip that'll live on in our memories and our scrapbooks forever say aye. Pat said
Aye! Mom said
Aye! Pat said
Aye! I said
Your vote doesn't count. Mike said
Yes it does, I want you guys out the house for the next two weeks, I don't get to invite any girls here because mom says that Mike is my little brother and shouldn't hear the noises. I said
What noises? Mike asked
Fighting. I said and slapped the back of his head softly
Anyway, that's two to two. Courtney said then the dog barked while on the side with Pat and Mom
Three to two. Pack your bags. Pat said
Yes! Mom said
Traitor. Courtney said to the dog
Good boy. I said and rubbed his belly
Go pack your bags so you can leave. I said
Today is the last day of school. Courtney said
I know, oh mom I sent the college applications in last month, but they didn't send anything back. I said
It's okay, if you don't get in you'll be able to stay longer. Mom said
Mom, this is important, if I don't get into college I don't meet girls and then I don't get a girlfriend. I said
Relax, you'll find someone like Cindy, well not like Cindy because she tried to kill your sister. Mom said
I can't find anyone like Cindy, she was one of a kind and I liked her that way. I said
I know, ash. She said and hugged me
I just miss her. I said
It's okay. Mom said
Drive your siblings to school. She said
Sure. I said
Skip
I am at lunch when I saw Courtney flip Artemis on the ground
Woah, what the Courtney? I asked and I helped Artemis up
I'll deal with her. I said and Artemis walked away
You need to loosen up. I said
Why have you been so protective of her lately? Courtney asked
Her parents called me from jail and told me to watch they're daughter for them. I said
You helping villain's? Courtney asked
Court, I'm 18,you can't boss me around like you do everyone else. I said and walked away
Skip
I am in the principal's office
So, you want to volunteer to help with summer school? The principal asked
Yeah, I also want to learn more stuff before I go to college next year. I said
Okay, then you can help with science. You were doing good in that. He said
Okay. I said
Skip
Wait, you guys aren't leaving now because of Courtney? I asked
Yes. Mom said
But I made plans to invite this girl over. I said
I know, I'm sorry. She said
Courtney, you ruined my summer plans, you asshole! I yelled the stairs and then a glass was thrown down at me
I caught it
Don't make me come up there. I said and walked back into the kitchen
