IT WAS A MONDAY and my alarm went off this time. I slowly opened my eyes, only resulting in closing them again due to the bright sunlight beaming against my face.

After a few minutes, I finally rolled out of bed and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth. Two-bit was in the shower but we never really cared who was in the bathroom as long as we didn't see each other naked.

He was obnoxiously singing as I cleaned my toothbrush. "Keep singing and the whole neighborhood will tell you to shut up."

His head popped out of the shower curtain. "Oh please, I have a voice of an angel."

"You wish," I replied. I went back to my room and got ready for school. I headed downstairs and ate a bowl of cereal since Mom wasn't here this time. Two-bit was taking his sweet time, so I plopped down on the couch and turned on the TV which happened to be his favourite show, Mickey Mouse.

We made it just in time before the bell rang, and we went our separate ways. It's funny how Two-bit is 18 yet he's still a junior and so am I. I managed to walk through the sea of people in the hallways and get to biology class on time.

Mr. Harris walked in and greeted the class a "Hello" and proceeded to write "Biology Anatomy of a Swamp Frog"

The plump man turned to face the class. "As you can tell on the board, we are dissecting frogs today. You will be assigned with a partner."

Groans filled the room. I'm just hoping that I wouldn't be paired up with a Soc.

Mr. Harris started calling out students' names along with their assigned partner. "James Purell and Wendy Lynn, Harold Arome and William Dexter, Nina Mathews and Zachary Ross..."
