"Vinnie!" I ignored the sound and turned over in bed, "Vinnie!!!!" I put my pillow over my head, ignoring the sound of my name again. "VINNIE!!!! GET UP!!" I put the covers over my head trying to drown out the sound.
I heard footsteps outside my door and I snuggled down more into my covers, then I heard the door open.
The covers got thrown off of me and before I knew it, dad was tickling me.
"H-hey..!! S-stop th-that!! Hahah!" I tried to get his hands off of me, but he tickled harder. "S-sto-stop.!!" I pushed his hands away as he laughed and stood back, a childish grin on his face. "Are you up now?"
He laughed, "Y-yep..! Heh" I replied, trying to get the feeling off. He grinned and nodded towards my door, "Better hurry up and get downstairs to eat, you don't wanna be late for school."
I groaned, thinking about 6 hours of listening to a teacher drone on about Literature, or Alchemy, or something boring. "But whyyyy...!" I complained, looking at him with the saddest expression I could make.
He laughed and picked me up, then grinned evilly at me and walked downstairs. "Put me down!" I demanded, wondering what he was gonna do. He finally set me down at the kitchen table and got some milk out of the fridge.
I sleepily rubbed my eyes and tried to smooth my bed head down a bit, I looked over and saw him looking at me, then he turned and made something on the counter.
I could tell he was trying not to laugh, just then I heard my brother come down from his room and sit beside me. He looked up and his eyes went wide, then grinning he asked. "What happened to your hair?? Looks like you got sucked into a tornado!"
I glared at him and heard a snicker from dad, they both busted out laughing. They eventually stopped but then exchanged glances and started up again. I rolled my eyes at them "Guys shut up." I mumbled trying to fix my hair.
My brother kept on laughing till it got old, then we sat in an awkward silence. Then dad brought us breakfast, eggs and biscuits for my bro, and toast for me and dad. I don't know what the deal is with my bro and toast, he hates the stuff. Me and dad tease him for it, but usually bro plays along.
We ate our breakfast as we talked about summer coming up, and how we've been having a lot of rain these past few weeks, and the new president being elected, you know stuff like that.
Then dad got up, took our plates, and told us to go get ready for school, we both nodded and headed upstairs. I looked through my closet and found a cute purple striped shirt with some ripped jeans, and I heard dad yelling at me to hurry. I brushed my hair out and put it in a ponytail, then washed my face and looked at myself in the mirror.
"VINNIE! TIME TO GO! CMON!" I heard my dad yell, I shouted back an "OK" and ran to get my backpack from beside my bed, then I ran downstairs just to be tripped by my brother.
I face planted into the carpet and he started laughing like it was all some hilarious joke I just made, I glared up at him and got up, brushing myself off. Then I grinned and whispered "I'm telling dad" He made a face and tried to grab me, but I was already out the door running after dad.
"Daaadddddd. Oh daaadddddd..!" I shouted after him, my brother right on my tail. Then I felt him yank my ponytail and I gave a slight yelp as he grabbed me, he looked me in the eyes,
"I swear if you tell dad I'll-" He got cut off by dad yelling for us to get in the car. We both finally got in and we drove to my school, I knew it was going to be another long day...
