The Pleasant Alternative

"Daniel, i'm heading off to work. The school bus should be here soon," yelled Mary-Sue to her husband, as she made her way out the door. Daniel rubbed his eyes, and climbed out of bed. Through the door-way, he could see his two daughters, Lilith and Angela, arguing over a hair clip.
"Girls will be girls..." muttered Dainel under his breath, walking toward the fridge. The doorbell rang, and Angela ran as fast as she could to answer it.
"DUSTIN! Come on in! I'll show you my room!" she yelled, pulling the blonde-haired boy by the arm, running up the many stairs.
"Your daughter is an idiot..." whispered Lilith, as she sat down at the table, throwing her school bag onto the floor. The two kids upstairs were now laughing loudly.
"Which daughter do you mean? The dumb one?" replied Daniel.
"Just because I don't have an A+ like 'little miss perfect' upstairs, doesn't mean i'm dumb."

"Are you sure you want to do this?" mumbled Dustin quietly.
"Uhm, I guess so. But a quicky! The bus should be here in 10 minutes!" replied Angela quietly. The two of them slid under the covers of Angela's bed, now grinning.

The school bus soon pulled up out front of the house, after minutes of silence between Daniel and Lilith. Drowsily, Lilith picked up her bag, and rushed out the door toward the bus. Lilith was at the door of the bus, and she swivelled around, half raising her arm up.




"ANGELA! THE BUS IS HERE! YOU DON'T WANT TO RUIN YOUR PERFECT ATTENDENCE RECORD, DO YOU?" yelled Lilith, smirking.
Angela gasped, and buttoned her shirt back up, and slipped on her shorts, and ran down the stairs, and jumped onto the bus. Dustin came waddling after, fixing his school tie.
