Josephine had wandered upstairs into Ezra's attic bedroom to climb into bed with him. Apparently, there were scary monsters under hers, and Ezra was the only one who could scare them away. It had been 3:09 AM when he was first woken up, but now, 6:15 AM was here and his alarm was going off. It was time to get up and go. Gently getting out of bed, he wandered around to the other side and scooped up his sister, quietly climbing down the stairs towards their mother's room. Ezra placed Josie under the covers next to mom and wandered off down the hall, making his way into the basement to wake his twin brother, James. To his surprise, halfway down the steps, he noticed a light was on in James' room, so Ezra turned back around and headed for the bathroom to begin preparing for the day. After reaching his destination, he locked the door once it was shut and got down to the bare minimum. He knew already this day was going to be a long one.

It always seemed to be a battle in the morning for the hot water. Luckily he didn't have Josie up and about during that time, or she'd have flushed the toilet on him. She loved doing that to him, but [i]just[/i] him. Seemed she enjoyed getting a reaction out of her brother. He tried to just leave it alone when it happened, but after a while, she did it almost every time he showered and I'm sure you could sympathize for the guy. Maybe yelling at her the way he had the last time she did it wasn't completely called for, but between the boys and their mom, he was the only one to really dish out punishments when it came to Josie. He was labeled 'the bad guy' of the bunch, only because he did the one thing no one else wanted to do. Sure, Ezra took it upon himself to be stern with her, but James still remains the only one who sets her down for timeouts and things of that nature. It was nice to finally have a morning where that little piece of [i]his[/i] time wasn't being ruined by his kid sister. He knew it was Ezra coming down the stairs because their mom had a day off today and Josie, as much as she loved terrorizing the house, knew mom would [b]not[/b] be happy if she was woken up to chaos on her day off. James sat there at the edge of his bed with his towel wrapped around his waist just staring at his closet. He'd originally picked out an outfit for school but was now second-guessing himself. A random thought blew through his mind as he thought about the school in the city just a few miles out that had a uniform dress code. James shook his head and remembered the time during his freshman year when his mom had threatened to transfer him to that very school, thanking whatever great 'being' above that he had dodged that bullet. Forcing himself up from his bed, he grabbed a pair of briefs, socks and a pair of pants from his drawers before wandering over to the closet to pick out a shirt. It was another 20 minutes before James' left the house to be a bit ahead of schedule so he could park in the Senior parking lot and [i]let loose[/i] before he had to face the first day in his 'last year of hell', as he liked to call it. Ezra stayed home long enough till Josie officially woke up and helped her make a bowl of cereal before dashing out the door at 7 o'clock on the dot. The drive to school was only a quick 5 minutes, but Ezra liked to be early rather than on-time. Although leaving now would put him at school roughly 15, almost 20 minutes early, it still seemed like it was cutting it close, in his eyes. He sent a quick text to James to see where he was and started up his Jeep to let it warm up a little before leaving the driveway. The drive to school wasn't the pain-in-the-ass Ezra originally thought it would be, it was finding parking. It took 3 circles of the parking lot before some Freshman's parent pulled out of the spot, waving to their kid as they drove out of the lot. Ezra just shook his head with a deep sigh and quickly claimed his space, shoving his car into park. 5 minutes before the first warning bell would ring. [i]This was it.[/i] [b]Senior Year.[/b] [color=#2C3E50][i]'Shit,'[/i][/color] he thought to himself.
