2 Chapter 2 - The Carlson Household
The sun has risen, so has Lydia Carlson, as soon as she got up she started rubbing her eyes. She looked at the clock which was on top of a drawer and checked the time out.
"7:00 am..." She murmured to herself.
She kept her foot on the ground and got out of the bed and tiptoed to her parents bedroom door, she opened the door and took a peek inside and saw that they were still asleep.
I think it's better to not disturb them.
She went back to her bedroom and went to the bathroom which is attached to her bedroom, she goes in and takes a warm refreshing bath. She comes out of the shower and changes her clothes to her school uniform. A dark blue sweater vest and skirt and blue tie. She ties her black long hair into a pair of Braids.
She goes out of her room and goes to the kitchen and sits on the breakfast counter. she adds her cornflakes into the milk and starts munching on them. She looks at the Transistor and switches it on.
"Good morning Canada!" both the RJ's said together
"This is Matney and Ruben"
"The weather is really chilly this morning, maybe this year's Autumn is gonna be really cold"
"you are right Matney! Hope we won't freeze this year" Both of them laughed together.
"Anyway, lets begin with local News. Today the Welmer Academy is having their Annual School Exhibition"
"Yeah we do." Lydia says non nonchalantly as she still continues to munch her cornflakes. She looks at the clock which is hung on the wall.
"7:20 am...." she murmured to herself.
That's when her father, Lucas Carlson came to the kitchen rubbing his eyes.
"oh. My little pizza has woken up early today!"
Lydia looks at her father with judgmental anger and replies to his comment
"Can you come up with better nick names?"
"OK! OK! I will try to!" He replied as he took her phone and started going through her messages.
"Why the hell are you looking through my messages?"
"I just wanted to check if you had any secret boyfriend."
"If i did have a Boyfriend, you know that you would be the first one to know"
"Yeah, but still. The other day I was just watching a documentary and saw how they were talking about how teenagers have many secrets these days"
"You and your stupid Documentaries"
"HEY! DON'T SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT THE DOCUMENTARIES! Anyway, you got a message from Lara." Lucas said while he was checking the chat.
"What is it?"
"ᶜᵒᵐᵉ ᶠⁱᵛᵉ ᵐⁱⁿᵘᵗᵉˢ ᵉᵃʳˡʸ! ᴬⁿᵈ ᵈᵒⁿ'ᵗ ᶠᵒʳᵍᵉᵗ ᵃᵇᵒᵘᵗ ᵗʰᵉ ᵇᵃⁿⁿᵉʳ OK?"
"Hmm mm, banner? when were you asked to make a ban-" Lucas said but got cut off as he saw his daughter's shocked face. "Ummmm, Lydia?" He takes a look at her face "Little Pizza?"
''AAAAAAAAH!" she screamed "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH"
"Don't tell me that you-"
"I FORGOT TO MAKE THE BANNER!!"
From the bedroom, Lydia's mom, Emma Carlson showed up, She tied her long brown hair into a bun and kept her hand in her hips, the reason she got up was because of Lydia's screaming.
"I think it will be okay Honey" Her mom said with a sweet smile on her face.
"Thanks mom, at least you are better than dad in nicknames."
"HEY!" Lucas replies with a hurt inside of him.
Lydia Looks at the clock.
"7:30 am... School starts at 8 am and it takes 15 minutes to reach there. I think I can finish this within 15 minutes!"
"Weren't you supposed to reach there five minutes earlier?" Lucas asks.
"That means i only have ten minutes left... I think I can still finish it!" Lydia says nervously. She runs back to her room and grabs the fabric sheet and comes back to the living room, she holds the one end of the sheet and flaps it out.
"It looks... more than 2 meters" Lucas says looking down on the sheet.
"Lara told me something like 2.50, at first i did not understand anything, but now I see what she actually meant"
"Honey, only seven minutes is left..." Emma says pointing at the clock.
"I KNOW MOM!"
Lydia takes out the paints and brushes and starts painting really quickly, her parents looks at her breakneck speed and gets terrified.

"TA - DA!!"
The Banner looked really bad
"Ummmm.....nice honey....." Emma says with nervousness.
"If you use the word Honey all the time i bet she feel a bit suspicious, you know that our daughter is not that dumb right?" Lucas whispers to Emma's Ears.
Lydia was about to roll the sheet, but then she realized that the paint hasn't dried up yet, her parents also realized it, then her mom came and stepped up,
"Well, we are your parents for a reason, we will help you to take this to your school because that's what we Carlson do!"
"Why are you making up so many stupid mottoes?" Lucas said but Emma ignores it.
"Really?" Lydia asks.
"Yeah!" Emma replies.
"That is sweet and all, but you do know that i have to go to my Job right" Lucas says.
"Oh please, Your Job starts at 9 am, Now let's go!"
The Carlsons picked the 250 cm long fabric sheet and got out of the house, they went down the stairs and went down the street and started walking on the pathway. Many people started noticing them. But the only thing that Lydia thought was
I hope nobody from school notices this.
But they already did. They reached the school and Lydia saw that the paint has already dried up so she rolled it and hold it in her arms, it was heavy but she could carry it.
"Thank you!"
"Your welcome" Emma replies.
"See you guys after the School!"
"Bye Lydia!" Lucas says and they go off.
