Four I's & a Z, Bethany Farner [the reading strategies book txt] 📗

IF YOUR A PERSON WITH GLASSES THEN I'M SURE YOU'VE HEARD OF THE NICK NAME "FOUR EYES" RIGHT. BUT WHAT IF THAT WAS AN ACTUAL NICK NAME FOR SOMEONE. BEFORE YOU ASK NO I'M NOT A PERSON WITH FOUR EYES BUT, WHEN YOU'RE BORN IN A FAMILY LIKE MINE YOU GET USED TO BEING CALLED FOUR EYES SINCE THE DAY YOU WERE BORN.

IN MY FAMILY THEIR ARE SIX OF US INCLUDING MOM AND DAD. MY MOTHER'S NAME IS IRENE AND MY FATHERS NAME IS ISAIAH. THEN THEIR IS ME AND MY THREE BROTHERS. YES, HAVING THREE BROTHERS IS TORTURE BUT JUST WAIT IT GETS BETTER. ME AND MY BROTHERS ARE QUADRUPLETS. AHH YES QUADS! FOUR BABIES BORN ON THE SAME DAY. ALL OUR NAMES START WITH THE LETTER I. MY ELDEST BROTHER OR THE ONE WHO WAS BORN FIRST IS IAN. THE SECOND BORN ONE IS IKE. THIRD IS ISAAC.

THEN THEIRS ME, MY NAME IS IRA. ME AND MY BROTHERS ARE IDENTICAL QUADRUPLETS, EXCEPT THE PART THAT I'M A GRIL AND THE OTHER THREE ARE BOYS. OTHER WISE WE ALL LOOK THE SAME. WE ALL HAVE LONG NICE BLONDE HAIR AND DARK BLUE EYES. TO TOP IT ALL OFF WE ALL HAVE GLASSES. SO ME AND MY BROTHERS ARE USED TO BE GETTING CALLED FOUR EYES.

"IRA GET YOUR BUTT UP!" IAN YELLED AT ME. FOR SOME REASON HE WAKES ME UP FIRST WHEN I'M THE LAST BED IN THE ROOM. YEAH I FORGOT TO MENTION, WE ALL SHARE A ROOM. WE LIVE IN A TWO BEDROOM HOUSE, AND ONE BATHROOM. DOESN'T THAT SOUND LIKE SO MUCH FUN. I KNOW YOU WISH YOU WERE ME RIGHT? YEAH THAT WAS SARCASM. WE HAVE THE BIGGEST ROOM IN THE HOUSE, WHILE MOM AND DAD HAVE A SMALL LITTLE ROOM. "IRA GET UP!" HE SHOUTED AT ME. I MOANED AND ROLLED OVER.

THAT'S WHEN I FELT MYSLEF BEING BEAT WITH A PILLOW. I ROLLED BACK OVER TO SEE IAN HITTING ME. I RIPPED THE PILLOW AWAY FROM HIM AND PUT IT OVER MY OTHER PILLOW TO LAY BACK DOWN. LIKE I SAID IAN WAKES ME UP FIRST WHEN THE TWO OTHER BOYS WHO ARE OVER THERE STILL SLEEPING PEACEFULLY. I THINKS IT'S JUST BECAUSE I MAKE THE AWESOMEST COFFEE. "WHY DO YOU WAKE ME UP FIRST WHEN IKE AND ISAAC ARE RIGHT THERE HAVING SWEET DREAMS." I SHOUTED AT HIM. HE JUST GLARED AT ME BEFORE STOPMING BACK OVER TO HIS BED ON THE OTHERSIDE OF THE ROOM TO GO BACK TO BED.

WELL NO POINT IN GOING BACK TO BED WHEN THEIR JUST GONNA GET ME BACK UP. I THREW MY LEGS OVER THE BED AND SLIPPED ON MY SLIPPERS. I WALKED OVER TO MY DRESSER GRABBED SOME COLTHES AND WENT TO THE BATHROOM ACROSS THE HALL. I STARTED THE SHOWER AND STRIPPED OFF MY PJS AND STEPPED IN. "IRA GET OUT OF THE SHOWER I HAVE TO GET READY!" ISAAC SHOUTED THROUGH THE DOOR. I MOANED. SO NOW HE DECIDED TO GET UP. "I'LL BE OUT IN A MINUTE!" I SAID TURNING OFF THE SHOWER. I WITHDREW THE CURTAIN AND WRAPPED THE TOWEL AROUND MY BODY. I PUT ON MY BRA AND MY PANTIES GOT DRESSED AND THREW MY TOWEL IN THE HAMPER.
