Homework

Finally home! 

(mom) "welcome back! How was it?"

Tells the tale of the last two chapters. She shares her own struggles. (looks at ground) I can't help but not pay attention. Something about..? Bah time to relax. (goes to room and turns on computer) oh yeah! there were those papers for homework. 

-looks at papers-

(alien language) reads directions again (more confusing than the first time) BAH! When I say it's time to relax then IT. IS. TIME. TO. RELAX!! (plays games until 9:00 PM) 

Gee I think I should finish those papers.. I'm getting sleepy..

(sits on ground) (takes out pencil) (reads directions) (mumble mumble mu-)(faints)

"Maya" (GASP)

"I AM awake I am awake." (mom walks away)

huh, somehow this sentence finally makes sense! Must be because I read it so many times. Maybe even slept on it. (solves first problem) (starts on the second one)

"..."

I think I should start guessing on this stuff. Problem is, I don't know what I'm guessing about!!!

(Brain fries) (faint)

"Maya" (lifts head and looks around in confusion)

"Did you really sleep on your homework the *whole* night?"

"..." seems so. Not like I could've done it anyway. (puts random whatever on the rest)

"I'm done! Let's go, I'm ready"

(mom makes a concerned look) "okay"

Already the second day. I don't think I'm ready to do this again.

(gets up off the ground) 

bah! (feels sore all over) *sigh* here we go
