\u201cLUI SCARLET GET YOUR LAZY BUTT OUTTA THAT BED RIGHT NOW\u201d, \u00a0screamed my sister, Poppy, \u00a0right into my left ear. It\u2019s the first day back to school, so Poppy being Poppy expects us to be ready to leave like an hour before school. It means more free time, but it also means getting up way earlier than necessary. \u201c go away Poppy, no one likes the morning\u201d. \u201cI think that by \u2018 everyone\u2019, you mean everyone except you. Everyone else is ready, so just get up already\u201d. \u201cFine\u201d.<\/p>\n
My parents died in a house fire when I was 5, so ever since Poppy has been taking care of us. That is me, Lucas and susie. Lucas and me have been like best friends since ever since we could talk. We\u2019re twins. Susie, the youngest, is still learning how to talk, but I have a feeling her and Poppy will get in just fine.
\nOnce I\u2019m ready to leave, I put on my headphones and the newest album of my favourite band, The Mayhem, and head off for school. First thing I have is music, the only thing I enjoy about school. I\u2019m currently learning the trumpet. Once I sit down, the teacher announces that there are gonna be a few changes in how the class is gonna work. For one, we are getting a new teacher, and I\u2019m not even sure if they are human. His name is Dave, and he looks like the teacher from assassination classroom but with horns and a party hat thing on. Also quite a lot more humanoid and also wearing a navy blue suit. Most of the other kids are complaining at this, but I don\u2019t mind so long as we get the same work as before.\u201dyou will also have to attend assembly third period today, as Dave has some things to discuss to you\u201d, the teacher says. Everyone starts asking questions immediately and I fined the noise quite overwhelming, so in go the headphones.<\/p>\n
We practice our instruments for the rest of the period, and then Dave comes in right before the bell. The first thought I have is how short he is. He\u2019s gotta be at most 4.6. \u201cHello class. As you know, my name is Dave, and it is lovely to see you all\u201d. \u201cBit nice for the first day\u201d, I whisper to Lucas. He giggled a bit but I can tell he\u2019s worried. Dave seems to give off weird vibes. I tell him it\u2019s gonna be fine and he gives me a light smile. But he still looks worried. Honestly so do I.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
