Living The Dream

Chapter 3: "First Day of School"

Erin woke the twins up early that morning, they had their first day of school. It wasn't a good start, Lainey flipped out by throwing her blanket. Easton moaned but he got up.

"Elaine Taylor Halstead, get up!" Erin yelled. Lainey moaned and got up.

Erin got them dressed, and handed them their school bags.

Ethan sat at the table and laughed. "Have fun you two. To the next 12 years of hell." Easton smacked him. Ethan grabbed his ear and pulled it.

"Mommy!" Easton yelled. Jay gave Ethan a mean face look. Ethan stopped and wiped the smile off his face.

"Sorry bud." Ethan got up and hugged the twins then he went into the kitchen and grabbed a granola bar.

"Mommy, when do we go home?" Lainey asked

"Baby girl you are here all day." Erin kissed her then let go.

"Mommy, I don't want to go." Easton and Elaine yelled.

"You have to go. I can't keep you home."

Ethan sat in his desk staring at Caroline, he was admiring her new haircut. She got it cut a little shorter and he loved it on her.

"Caroline, you look really pretty today." He said smiling. She turned around and smirked at him, then turned back so she wouldn't get in trouble.

A girl Elaina's age walked up to her. "Hi my name is Taylor."

"I'm Lainey! Wanna be friends?" Taylor smiled and they both ran off and played with the baby dolls. Easton sat on the ground watching Elaina play when a boy came up behind her and pulled her little braid. Elaina turned around and punched him..

She walked away but the teacher walked over when it happened..

"But Miss Katie, he pulled my hair.. I had too. My big brother told me when someone touches me I should hurt them.. They shouldn't touch me."

Ethan and Caroline on their lunch break walked to the elementary school and signed in. Everyday Monday they would go and help the classes.

Caroline noticed Easton and Elaina sitting the principal's office.
"I wonder what happened with your siblings Ethan."

"Oh shit.. That's never good when it's both of them." He chuckled.

"Hey Mrs. Ryan's, what happened with the twins?" Ethan asked

"Some kid pulled Lainey's hair, she punched him then Easton he decided it was okay to punch him then he sassed the teacher."

Ethan held back his laugh.. "Oh and she talked about you.. Lainey said you told her if anyone touches her it was okay to punch them.." Ethan shook his head Caroline lightly punched him.

"Yeah I did say that.. That's how I was taught and that's how I'm teaching my little brother and sister.. You don't let someone push you down, take a stand and get it over with." Ethan said proudly..

Elaina caught a glimpse of him and went running towards him. "Ethan!" She yelled. She hugged his legs

"Hey little sister.. Go back I don't want you getting in trouble." She crossed her arms and grunted.

"You can go to Miss Katie's room.. You know where it is." Mr. Patrick's called Erin and Jay.

"Hello? Who is this?" Erin asked, Jay looked at her weirdly as she did

"Mr. Patrick's, Elaina and Easton Halstead got in trouble.." Erin scoffed

"Alright I'll be right there.." Erin hung up the phone and chuckled
