School Days

Chapter 3

The next morning, or the first day of the weekend, instead of waking up whenever I felt like, my brother Artemis ends up waking me up. "Cyrus!! Wake up bro!! Mother wants to speak with us!! NOW!!" he says, pulling the covers off of my bed using magic, He then yells into my ear, "CYRUS!!!! WAKE UP!!!!." My eyes fly open, turning a bit red from the result of me getting angery. "Really Artemis? Really?" I say sleepily. My eyes turn back to their normal blue as I rub my ear and hope I'll still be able to hear out of it after my brother just nearly broke my eardrum. "Cyrus! C'mon! Mother needs to talk to us, and if we keep her waiting any longer shes gunna kill us! You know how easily she gets impatient! C'mon!" says Artemis before teleporting out of my room. I stretch out my wings before folding them back to my sides and think to myself, So much for sleeping in..., before teleporting myself into the living room.

I get to the living room and grab a drink from the kitchen before actually going into it. I enter the living room and sit on the couch next to Artemis, while our mother Elisa sits in one of the two chairs across from us. As I sit down is when she begins to speak, "I'm pretty sure you both have noticed I have been at alot of different places lately. For example, today, tomorrow, and Monday I will be in Phillydelphia." she says, "I'm trusting you two to be home along for three days. Alright?" I nodwith Artemis who sends a "Don't do anything stupid while she's gone" glare, cause I have a habit of not listening to rules. Elisa gets up and says, "Good, Now I have to get going so I'll see you two on Tuesday. Don't do ANYTHING you WILL REGRET." she says before heading out, taking about four or five guards with her. "Well," I say, "I'm going back to sleep, don't wake me, don't need me, got it?" I finish looking at Artemis. "Aren't you forgeting something?" says Artemis pointing at my drink. "Oh Yeah." I say as I grab it, drink the rest of it, then throwing it backwards as it hits the wall and shatters. "Bye!" I say before teleporting to my room to find a note, Cyrus, don't even think about hitting you brother Artemis with ANY of your intruments or anything else. Got it? Good. ~Elisa. "AWWW C'MON!!!" I say disapointed, "Thats one of my favorite things to do to him..." before shrugging and falling face-first onto my bed and falling asleep.

I wake up after many hours of sleep and end up looking at my trophy case. It holds all of the instruments I used to play before father died. Their is a keyboard (or piano which ever works for you.), a flute, the viola, violin, cello, double bass, and the electric and acoustic guitars. I can't help but sigh as I think of my father, Cyrus Senior ( Cyrus I ). I was named after him, Cyrus Junior ( Cyrus II ), Why did you quit..., says a voice in my head, You were so good at every single one of those instruments. Especially the violin and viola. Not as good as two of Octavia's three sons, ( Another story I'm working on/ rewriting.), But you were still good at it. I pull  the curtains down over the trophy case using my magic to stop the memories of my now dead father from coming back. I stretch out again, while thinking about ways to annoy my brother while mother is in Philydelphia.

"Wait, so you and Artemis are going to be home for three days while your mother is in Phillydelphia!?!?!" says Drake as he tries to believe it. Artemis nods and says, "Yep," Drake just goes and sits in one of the chairs in the living room as I walk in. "Its about tim you woke up Cyrus. So you planning any thing today?" says Artemis as he notices me walk in. "Nope." I say as I sit down on our other couch since he and Sabre are on the other one. I can't help but notice that Sandra and Speed are missing, so I decide to ask, "Where's Sandra and Speed?" "Sandra got saturday school and Speed is probally sleeping in." answers Sabre. I nod as she stretches out her wings then levitating a gem off of the coffee table. "Yes Sabre its real." I say after reading her mind. "Cyrus, you're reading minds again aren't you." says Artemis, "Why yes. Yes I am." I answer while smirking, reiciving a glare from his girlfriend Sabre. Their was a long period of silence before Drake broke the silence, "Who were those two twins you alway hang out with? Are you dating one of them? Or both of them at once?" he asks me while levitating his drink to himself. "Their names are Kate and Kathrine, and no I'm not dating them. They're just friends and acctually I'm not dating anyone right now." I answer. Sabre does a spit-take before saying, "You're single? You of all boys are single? You're kidding right? HOW IN THE NAME OF CELESTIA IS SOMEONE AS HANDSOME AS YOU SINGLE!?!?!" Artemis looks at her and raises a brow, while my eyes widden from the sudden compliment. "What its true he is handsome. Not my words thats what most of the girls at school say." says Sabre, "I'm serious!"

After a long period of talking about things that aren't prior to now a guard walks of to me and Artemis and says, "Master Cyrus and Artemis. There is-" "HA!" I say, interupting, "He said my name first!!" Artemis rolls his eyes, "Continue." he says to the guard. "There is somepony named Speed who claims he to know you. Should he be let in?" Artemis nods and the guard walks away as I start an argument with Drake on what school subject is more boring, Social Studies or English class. Speed walks in as I say, "Fine then lets ask Speed!" I turn to him as he says nervously, "A-ask me what?" "Which is more boring, Social Studies or English?" He walks over and sits next to me, "Social Studies, Definately Social Studies. I fell asleep 10 times in that class in ONE day!" I smile and put my foreleg over Speed's shoulders, "Thats my boy! I told you Drake! IN. YOUR. FACE!" After a few seconds I remove my foreleg and say, "I'm gunna go take a shower alright?" as I walk towards the hall that holds my room, ma's room and Artemis's room. As I left the living room I didn't notice Speed, whos wings were stiff and sticking straight out.

I walk down the hall to the bathroom as I think to myself, Ha! Who would've thought that Sandra would've got a Saturday school! I walk down the hallway a few more steps when my eyes widen, Wait, HOW LONG HAS THIS SCHOOL HAD A SATURDAY SCHOOL!?!?!?! I think to myself as my slitted pupils widden, which only happens when I get nervous, sad, suprised or scared. They turn back to normal as I reach the bathroom and open the door using my my magic while making sure not to close the door on my tail. I've done it before and it hurt. Badly. I get into the shower and turn it on using magic again, cause I'm being lazy.
