The eldest son, jumped up from his bed at the noise. His eyes widened, a hand to his chest to keep himself from hyperventilating. "Mom…" He hissed and forced himself up from the floor before he ran to his private bathroom to take a shower.

The third eldest child, already used to the banging, rolled around on his bed. He frowned at his mother's abrupt interruption to his dream and rubbed his eyes before purposely falling off the bed. "It's too early…" he yawned as he crawled to his private bathroom slowly.

The youngest daughter sighed at the morning call, as used to it as her older brother, but not as tired. She kicked her blanket off of her then hopped off her bed with a yawn. "When can we ever sleep in…" she rubbed her eyes as she carefully got her towel and headed to her own private bathroom.

Only the second eldest boy still slept soundly in his bed, snoring away despite the shrill voice of their mother and the sound of his siblings in their showers. His glasses were on his pillow, while the bags under his eyes indicated well enough that he had stayed up all night.

And the flashing light of his computer and the tablet on his bed made it obvious what he had stayed up all night doing.

"Jackran?" There was soon a knock at the door, and the eldest son looked inside the room. He frowned when he saw his brother still snoring away. "Are you serious?" He went to his brother's bed and snatched a pillow.

Jackran groaned and opened his eyes tiredly. "Kertan, just five more minutes…"

"No, we don't have 'five more minutes', Jackran." Kertan shook his head. "Tristan and Shawran are already eating with Mom, and you know how she gets when we're late." He grabbed his brother by the legs and pulled him off the bed. "Come on. Up and at em."

"Nooo… No school…" Jackran whined. "Let me stay and play my games…"

"Jackran, you've been playing all night!" Kertan huffed. "You need to get over these silly little video games and start focusing on important things."

"What could be more important than gaming?" Jackran questioned.

"School? Your health? Literally anything than games?" Kertan crossed his arms. "I can go on, Jackran, and you know that I'll end up right,"

"Ugh, whatever," Jackran forced himself up. "Tell Mom I'll be done in a second."

"You better," Kertan glared before sighing and exiting the room.

Jackran watched him leave. When the door shut, he scoffed. "Oh, 'stop playing silly video games, Jackran. Blah blah blah! Not good for your health!' Yeah right…" He dusted himself off.

Like he'd listen.

He was a gamer, after all. A pro gamer, as what his classmates say about him and his skills. He was usually found gaming with some gaming friends he met in the Gamers Club rather than studying for school.

Lucky enough, he was good in Math and bits of Science, so he could still pass school. It was a small loophole that he used against his mother's argument that the video games would distract him from important school work and such.
