Untitled Part 1

I woke up to the threatening sound of the alarm clock. Hunting me with every beat.

I turned it off as I sat down contemplating the ceiling. Not wanting to get up I pushed the bed

sheets to a side. I stood up a few inches from my bed and sat back down with my hand on my

face. I hated Monday mores than anything, it always found a way to get under my skin. I sighed

and stretched one last time.

Finally, I got up to take a shower. When I walked out of the bathroom I found my brothers

running from side to side.

"What are you doing?"

"Looking for my shoes." answered Fernando followed by ann "Mm-hmm".

Fernando was eleven. The type of kid who rather be stuck in front of a video game all day.

He tried to survive middle school but his laziness was making it getting in the way.

I felt a tug on my shirt, I looked down. Carlos was trying to get my attention. "Isa have you seen

my shoe" he hold up a black shoe. I laughed "I sure have."

"Where?"

"On your foot silly" he looked down and we both laughed.

We finish getting dressed and we walked down stairs. Sat down at the counter waiting

for breakfast. Mom was making pancakes and Dad was looking for his tie.

We all ate breakfast. "Okay so this nexts few months I'll be coming home late around 9. I have

a lot of work to do before the Holidays. I hate leaving you alone all day." My mom voice quivered

as she spoke.

"Fernando's and Carlos's Godparent called last night they asked if they could stay over for two

months because of the holliday's. That their children came out of school yesterday and they

wanted to Fernando and Carlos to go for vacation to Florida. What do you think" my dad

suggested.

"That's great. But what about Isabella?"

"I have to got to New York Honey, I don't know. You're going to start coming home late. And I'm

not going to be here for a couple of weeks. You know what! She could take care of the house?"

I sat straight up "Yeah mom don't worry. I got this. Go easy mom I'll be fine."

"Are you sure? You know what okay no parties and no boys. I'll pick you boys by lunch so you

can go with you godparents. Isa take care, come straight home after school. You hear me!"

"Yeah mom don't worry." I got up and hugged everyone. I woke up to the threatening

sound of the alarm clock. Hunting me with every beat.

Fernando was eleven. The type of kid who rather be stuck in front of a video game all day.

He tried to survive middle school but his laziness was making it getting in the way.

I felt a tug on my shirt, I looked down. Carlos, my smallest brother was trying to get my

attention. "Isa have you seen my shoe" he hold up a black shoe. I laughed "I sure have."

"Where?"

"On your foot silly."he looked down and we both laughed.

I got this. Go easy Mom. I'll be fine."

"Are you sure?"

"Well Mom, it not the first or last time something like this happens. so yes i'll be fine."

Truth is this happened every year I stay'd home alone most of the time while my Father worked

away and my Mother works late hours.

"You know what! Okay, no parties and no boys. I'll pick you boys by lunch time so be

ready.Take your suitcase. We'll go straight to your godparents. Isa take care, come

straight home after school. You hear me!"

"Yeah mom don't worry. I'll be fine..."
