The Hard Choices of Life

(19) Sea Troubles (part 1)

I shifted in my bed as the sun rays hit my face, coming through the window. I open one of my eyes and I extend my hand to close the window but can't reach it. Ughh, I'm too lazy to actually get up and close it. Do you know how many muscles and bones I have to use to do that?! I rolled my eyes and wrapped myself in the blankets and walked slowly to the window. I closed and started walking back to the bed, until someone barged in.

"Maa! Wakey, wake--" Steven stared at me with his eyes wide.

"Wut" I said blankly.

"Haha you look like a polar monster" Steven giggled.

"Haha very funny" I replied as I threw myself on the bed and closed my eyes.

Then Daniel's head popped up peeking through the door looking tired.

"May" whispered Dani.

I groaned. "Waaat"

He stepped in, dressed in a tank top, shorts, blue flip flops and his hair messy looking like he hadn't slept in ages. "We are going to the beach today."

"But it's winter" I argued.

"May where we live is hot as--" I looked at him and then pointed to Steven. "Hot as potatoes"

"Hot POTATOES!? HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" Burst Steven laughing.

"We are leaving in an hour so...get up and get ready" said Dani as he left the room.

"Haha potatoes. Dani can be such a little boy sometimes, right May?" Said Steven still laughing.

I chuckled. "He's such a big boy for other things tho" I nodded as my eyes started to close again.

"MAY" shouted Steven.

"Mhmm?"

"Get up and come downstairs cuz we going to beach!! NOW"

I groaned. "Ugh...fine"  I said As I got up from the bed.

"Yay beach!" Cheered Steven as he ran out of the room.

Yep this is exactly what I wanted. Stay home and sleep. Great.

"Ooh look at the cows!" Exclaimed Steven as he looked out the window.

We had been driving for two hours and Steven started to get bored so we told him to point out everything that he sees out the window. Dad, Dani, Steven and I went in the car, while mom and Matt went in the van.

"Oh yes, what color are the cows Steven?" Asked Dani.

"There's one that is completely black. Oh then there this other one..." I continue to hear Steven as his voice became a faint whisper as I kicked my sandals off and my eyes closed shut.

"May wake up!" Said Dani as he shook me awake.

I opened my eyes and looked around. Dad and Steven weren't here. The door was open, so I could smell the salty beach scent.
