Max
Now that spirit week is over the guys and I have not has a chance to relax for even see each other. Exams are coming up and every day after school I go to work at the car wash and every Saturday I go work at my dad's company. This is not how I vision how my senior year would go down. I bearly get enough sleep these days because I came home late every day. Sunday it the only day I have to myself, but it doesn't mean anything since I spend those days to study for my exams. At work, Alexander and I do our own thing since we both work at different stations. I have now become used to working and cleaning cars and it doesn't take me an hour to wash cars anymore. I also have gotten close to some of my coworkers. After work, they sometimes go out to eat. Although I would love to join them I have school the next day so I can't stay.
I am almost done paying my dad pack for the fin. And my season will be done at the end of December. With work, school, and family drama. I have little time for anything. After Thanksgiving, condition season start for baseball and as the team captain, I have to prepare for that.
Since the field day, those men in black haven't come back. Alexander and I haven't said anything either about it. I wonder if I should tell my dad what's been going on, but something tells me he may already know. I mean why else would he not let me drive anymore?
Also when we went to visit mom. Dad was acting really weird. He suddenly got up and walked away somewhere. And when he came back Frank and Matt showed up telling us we have to go home. Even Grandfather was freaking out. I don't know what happened after that nor did I ask. Part of me thinks maybe the men in black have to do with him acting strangely. I have been going to my father's company for three times now and I still get gasps everything. Every time we go Josh who is my father's right-hand man quizzes us on what we have learned and each time I fail. Alexander and Micky are always ahead of me. When I see Micky and Alexander work together I see they could make a good team. They are always coming up with ideas and seem to be on the same page with each other. I am not a technology nerd like my father is. I don't get numbers like he does nor do I like them. In spite of Alexander, I try my best to study hard and make it seem like I care so that way my dad will favor me and Alexander won't try to steal the company away.
Today is Sunday I have no homework to do and I don't have to go to work. Jackie, Tiffany and my grandfather went out for the day. I am not sure if my dad is home or if he went out. Since I have nothing do today I slept in. I woke up around 11 AM and came downstairs. I made myself s bowl of cereal. I went to the living room to watch some cartoons. A few minutes later I hear footsteps coming downstairs to see Alexander. I don't pay him any mind and keep watching t.v. Soon my dad comes downstairs.
"Good morning." He says.
"Hey," I say.
"Morning," Alexander says. No one says anything after that and continues minding their own business.
