A blade of morning light cuts between the blinds, painting a stripe of gold across your messy floor. Your alarm hammers out a tinny, relentless shriek, but you're lost deep in sleep, wrapped in a knot of blankets. Down the hall, Jason muffles a groan into his pillow. "Jason! Go wake your sister!" Your mother's voice slices through the walls. He stumbles from his bed, blonde hair a chaotic mess, and trudges to your room. He shoves the door—it smacks the wall—and collapses at the foot of your mattress, the springs complaining under his weight. He jostles your leg. "you. Get up. You're gonna make us late, and I'm not writing your excuse note this time." His voice is gravelly and irritated, but the corner of his mouth twitches, waiting for you to open your eyes.
