Long Lost Brother

Chapter 8 : Boredom

Chapter 8

Morning...

Jeff POV

I heard an annoying beeping. I opened my eyes, and saw Riker's phone was lit up, and his alarm was going off.

"Riker... Shut it off..." I groaned.

Riker's hand came slamming down on his phone, and it stopped beeping.

"Why'd you set an alarm?" I asked, turning over.

"I have school..."

Oh yeah... It's Monday...

"When am I going to go to school?"

"Mom's going to register you today, I think... And all the papers need to be like... cleared or something first... So you'll probably go to school later this week, or next week..."

"What am I going to do today?"

"Sleep."

"Riker..."

"I won't be here snoring. You were complaining yesterday about it."

"Yeah, but I'm not tired. You didn't snore last night. I think you were too tired."

"Yesterday wore me out..."

Someone knocked on our door.

"Come in!" Riker called, into his pillow.

It was Rocky.

"Riker, you're late. We're already having breakfast."

"What!? What time is it!?" Riker asked, sitting straight up.

"6:50. Bus will be here in 10 minutes."

"Crap!"

Rocky left, and Riker jumped out of bed. He opened the closet door, went inside, and closed it.

"Riker?"

"Ugh!"

The door came flying open.

"It's too small in there! I can't change! Just close your eyes for a minute."

I covered my eyes with my hands, and after about 30 seconds, I heard thumping.

"What in the world are you doing?"

I uncovered my eyes, watching Riker jump up and down, trying to pull his skinny jeans up. I laughed.

"Pink underwear..."

Riker shot me a glare. I just held my hands up in defense.

"I have to think of something to make fun of you for, now..."

I laughed.

Riker jammed a bunch of books into his backpack, all while trying to tie his shoes with one hand, which wasn't really working.

"Riker, it's 6:59."

"UGH!"

He threw on a hoodie, put on his backpack, and finished tying his shoes.

"Alright. See you later!" Riker said, running out the door.

I made my bed, slid on some socks, and then went downstairs. Only my mom was down there.

"Hey, Jeff."

"Hi."

"Do you want some breakfast? There are some pancakes in the fridge if you want."

"Sure. Thanks..."

Later...
