A combination of Comedy and reality

By: Alexa Harrell

Scene 1

In Alexa’s House on a Monday morning

Alarm goes off singing “Manic Monday”

Alexa groans and pushed her brother back onto his side of the bed. slowly rising into a sitting position,
she grabs her phone off of her nightstand and turns off the alarm, and sees that it is 6:00. She gets out of bed,
somehow managing to stub her toe in the process, and slowly trudges to the bathroom. She looks in the mirror
and sees the snarly, ratted hair that usually greets her in the mornings. She brushes out the snarly mess, and tries
to do her hair in a bun that ends up looking like a demented ponytail. She leaves the bathroom and sees that her
brother is playing fortnite.

“Jake, get ready for school” she says as she walks to the kitchen to make her lunch.

“Hold on, I just want to finish this last match” He says, staring intensely at the screen.

“Okay, just hurry please” she says as she puts a granola bar in her backpack.

She walks back to her room and gets dressed. Then she sits on her bed and starts reading. After she reads a
couple chapters she checks the time, and realizes that it's 7:21. She hurries and stuffs her book in her backpack
and puts it on. As she makes her way to the door she sees that her brother is still on the tv. She rolls her eyes,
and walks out the back door to where her bike is. She puts on her helmet, and gets on her bike, and rides to school.

Scene 2

At School

Bell rings, and the announcements come on

“Just in time” Alexa mumbles under her breath.

She sits down next to her best friend, Lilly. As she's digging through her backpack for her book, Lilly taps her on
the shoulder. She looks up at Lilly, who looks amused.

“Your helmet is still on.” She whispers, trying not laugh.

Alexa starts to turn red from embarrassment, she takes the helmet off and sets it in her lap. After wondering about
what to do with it for awhile, she finally just attaches it to her backpack. She grabs her book and opens it-

The bell rings

“What the heck!” Alexa thinks.

She realizes that it’s a short day.

Scene 3

After School

Alexa opens the back door to her house, and gets a drink of water. She looks at the clock and sees  that it’s 12:00.
She walks into her room and drops her backpack on her bed and starts doing her homework. She thinks to herself,
“I really want to read my book though.” She stares at her backpack, half open at the end of her bed. She decides to
read for a little bit. After what feels like 10 minutes, she grabs her phone and sees that it’s 1:00 already, and she needs
to pick up her brother from school. She starts walking to get her brother when she realizes, her brother was on a
camping trip with her parents, and she was supposed to be staying with Lilly for the next couple of days. When she
gets there she rings the doorbell.

“What took you so long?!” Lilly says, when she opens the door to let me in.

“Sorry, I forgot!” Alexa says apologetically.

Lilly rolls her eyes as she closes the door behind them.

“So what do you want to do?” Lilly says

“I don’t know” Alexa says, shrugging.

Lilly smiles mischievously, “I know what we should do”
