Chapter 1 -- Last Day Of School

A Chapter by EH Marcs

First Chapter. And so we meet, Autumn.

�I don�t want to go to school today Mom� It was the last day of school and strangely, I was not looking forward to it. I sighed and crawled under my sheets to the floor.

�C�mon Autumn, we don�t have all day! You already overslept..� I lifted up the cover softly to see her glaring at me cross. I smiled sweetly but that didn�t soften her face. �Sometimes I wonder about you Autumn� She walked away and I heard the clicks of her heels fade. I rolled my eyes and quickly got out of bed.

Another day of school. How dull. It�s not like I don�t like school it's just the same old thing. I fell out of bed and shuffled my feet to the bathroom. Only to find it occupied by the one and only...

�Greg!!! GET OUT!! I�m late� I yelled. I didn't have time for this.

�Who�s fault is that?� he replied nonchalant

�It�s gonna be part of your fault if you don�t get out!� I banged on the door furiously.

�Autumn, I�m ashamed. Is that any way to talk to your older, wiser, and perfectly handsome brother? Hmm?�

�Please Greg, I gotta go� I slumped pleading through the door.

Greg was an okay guy, but half the time he wasn't and that�s what annoyed me the most. The craziest thing is that, many girls mistake him to be some kind of football player because of his shape, when in reality Greg�s a big softy who plays chess and puzzles all the time.

�Greg, C�MON!! PLEASE!!� I let out one last yell.

�I�m sorry, what was that last word, the water is overshadowing your voice� I could just feel Greg�s playfully evil smile on the other side. I had no time for his jokes. And like the speed of light I had a little joke of my own.

I ran in my room and there I found Henry. Henry�s my pet rat. No one in my family seems to like him. I bought him at the Pet Store last year and since then he�s been my best friend. I really liked him because he was the chocolate black that makes him look like a black rat when in the right light. And it scares everyone out of their mind when he runs across the floor. Ha HA!! This was all I needed. Only problem was how was I going to get him in the bathroom. I flopped back on my bed. I needed a plan.

I smiled large.
