Olivia the Truant, Part 2


Friday

"How can you wake her up to do this!"

"Alex," Charlie warned, quietly, but Alex's voice escalated.

"It's 7:00 in the morning!"

"You're going to wake her up yourself," Charlie said.  "Lower your voice."

"Come on, honey." Judah's voice now.

I rolled over, pulling a pillow over my head.  Stupid summer and it's stupid bright and early stupid sun.  

"Why do you all have to yell in my room?" I whined, blinking my eyes open just in time to see Judah leading a stomping and sputtering Alex out of the room.

"Hush," Charlie said.  He bent to pick a strand of hair off my face as I sat up.

"Am I still in trouble?" I asked, groggily.

Charlie laughed and sat down on the edge of the bed.  "Damn adorable in the morning, that’s what you are."
