Ways To Go

Way 6.0

Joe Evans

I grab my laptop and refresh the page. There's nothing.

I roll my eyes and say "Of course, they are not that punctual"

Group: "7PM!! 7PM!!" You, Mia Business Depart, Noah My Junior

You: Guys what's happening?

Mia Business Depart: We don't know yet

Mia Business Depart: I told Noah to call his friend but he is n't picking up

You: Try again, oh no

Noah My Junior: wait guys

Five minutes have passed now and Noah still didn't come back I pick up my phone again.

You: Noah?

Mia Business Depart: still waiting

Mia Business Depart: ......

I sigh as I hear the alarm's sound filling the silence that was here just seconds ago. What a surprise! Today I won the race against the sound that I despise the most, my alarm's sound. It's not that I was planning to be awake at 6 am but it just happened. To be honest, whatever ringtone I set I will hate whatever wakes me up. Even today, when I was already awake, I still hate it. Yeah why I was awake at this time of the morning? I have no clue. I haven't been sleeping well recently. I sigh again and pull myself out of bed. I don't have an early lecture today but it is Wednesday.

I can hear the sound of my feet as I am pulling them across the floor heading out of my room. I nock on Matt's door impatiently. I frown realizing how stupid that is; there's no way he will wake up. It never works like that. It's a family trait. I smile and roll my eyes at the thought. I head into his room or I would rather say break in to his room. I then start to shake him gently at first but I soon lose my cool and increase my pace.

"What?" He wakes up panicking, "What is going on?" He asks with a not so friendly tune.

"I am trying to wake you up!" I say nearly shouting.

"I almost got a heart attack." He says rubbing his eyes.

"It's Wednesday, mother has already left for her morning shift," I add rolling my eyes "You would have kept sleeping forever, but lucky you I don't have any early lectures."

"What a nice older brother I have!" Matt says shrugging his shoulders and gets out of bed.

"Go get ready, I will prepare breakfast." I say. I hear his laugh as soon as I finish my sentence.

"You mean, microwave the breakfast." I hit him playfully and push him out with me to the bathroom.

Then, I go down stairs to the kitchen. I start to prepare breakfast. Well, okay, to microwave breakfast. I take the food out from the fridge and smile. The sad thing is that my mother has already given up on us cooking something decent.

Álvaro always says how he can never understand how a person can be such a failure at cooking. "You can just watch videos online and follow them!" is what he says, but I can't risk burning the house anymore. I sigh at the thought of Álvaro, we didn't talk since last time.

I take the plate out of the microwave hearing the peep sound. I take some fruits out of the fridge. It is smoothie time. It's true that I am bad at cooking, no actually, dangerous, but I make the best smoothies and drinks.
