Joes POV:
I walked into my house from the chilly early December air. I stopped in my tracks when I saw my brothers sitting on the couch, looking rather nervous.
"W-Whats going on?" I carefully asked gradually sitting my bag down and unzipping my coat.
"Sit down Joe." Frankie whispered.
I noticed Sir coming in from the back door and scrambled for a seat on the couch next to Frankie.
Kevin heard footsteps and stood halfway up to see who it was.
"SIT!" a regular stern, nauseating voice snarled. "Guess what came today..." Sir held up three opened envelopes that had to be our mid term grades. "Guess whos busted? Guess whos not making straight As? Guess..." Sir barked inspecting our fear filled faces.
We all pointed to a different sibling. Sir laughed hard.
"Ah, it just amuses me that you all blame each other, arent sibling supposed to have each others back?" he squawked. "AnywayYoure all in big trouble." Sir gridded through his teeth. "Boys, What is the number one rule in this household?" Sir paced back and forth hold our mid terms behind his back.
"The Boys must obtain and sustain no lower than an A minus through their high school career." We all recited.
"Correct. And look what I found on all your cards. Kevin, a B plus. Joe a B and B minus! Frankie, TWO B MINUSES!!! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!!" Sir raged. "Any of you idiots care to explain?"
"Well Sir," Kevin softly spoke up.
"I Dont want to hear it!" Sir raised a hand for silence. "As a punishment, Kevin, give me your car keys!!!"
"Why?"
"Dont question me, give your keys! YOU TO JOSEPH!" Sir howled. Kevin and I held our keys in the air and Sir snatched them away and tucked them in his pocket. "Thats what you get for making bad grades! If you would like to drive, you will ask permission."
"How are we supposed to get to school? We arent on the bus pickup schedule." Frankie retorted.
"You Will WALK! You IMOBOSLS!"
"But Sir, Thats not fair, it is winter and the air is frigid!" Frankie moaned.
"TOO BAD! The children of the Holocaust had to walk over 10,000 miles in the snow barefoot! You should be just fine since you are lucky enough to have shoes and winter clothes! Is there any other complaints?" Sir growled.
"Well I was going to say that it is about a mile or so to school..." Frankie poked in. Sir slapped Frankie across the face. "SO?! You kids could use some good cardio everyday, keeps you healthy..." Sir laughed maniacally as he walked into the kitchen to grab a beer and then he left.
"So? How was your day?" I asked, trying to be funny.
Kevin didnt get it and tacked me in frustration and anger.
"OW! Kev get off of me! IT was just a joke!!!" I yelped.
Kevin heard my screams of terror and got up laughing.
I shook it off and dragged my bag up to my room.
We are messed up! I smiled.
