Chapter 3 - Chapter 2

Soon i headed downstairs. I despised these stairs. I called them the stairs of same. I wanted to flip off at every photo and certificate i passed, I passed certificate after certificate and photos of my siblings with awards and photos of them doing wht they do best. I saw one of my awards. It was something i won for a peice i wrote for my guitar. I play electric and i sing. I did i peice for a fair and performed it there it was a bit nerve-racking but i went through with it and i could not be more proud. It did take a long time to of course convince my parents to put it u there so i settled for at the end of the stairs. Next to my sisters violin certificates and my brothers triathlon photos. I could already hear the commotion of the first day going on downstairs. My sister (18) and my brother (13), were preparing for their first days. My brother was now in the first year and my sister starting the college. The table had a slice of plain buttered toast out for her, i knew if i went to eat it i would have a stern talking to. I could hear my dad in the next room arguing with a colleague and my mum typing away to her employees. My parents work hard but they can sometimes be a bit to caught up in their work. My dad has dark black hair slicked back. He always wears the same outfit or at least it seems the same a black blazer pants tie with a white shirt and sparkling silver cufflinks. He looks like your everyday businessman. My mom is working for the newspaper for Marylyn's cove. She started when we first moved here acquiring the position shes in now. Shes always tying away at her computer. I can tell if shes up late from the clicking around and scribbling downstairs. My dad entered the room at that moment i had started adding some milk to my cereal. He started moaning on about work then. I didnt like it when he did that. I could get a bit pressurising as my sister would dive in at that moment with something she had learnt on her law course or my brother would bring up a match he had coming up. I just sat there eating silently. I think sometimes they believe I'm mute. I like my music but i don't get straight a's or at least a couple b's usually it's c's and i don't like to bring it up. As my siblings went off to take their first day of a new school photos i said bye to my mum and left.
