Chapter 1
3 days before ...
The alarm rang. Annoyed, I hit it and looked at the time. "3:15" flashed at me in red numbers. Of course, what did I expect? It was Saturday, so James’s favorite day. The day when he always made me glow with his pranks and jokes. He would pay for it for waking me up so early! Somehow you had to be able to bring your 13 year old brother to his senses. But it was way too early to worry about it. So I just turned back in bed and closed my eyes.
When I woke up the next time, to my delight, the day was a little further on. My mother stood in the doorway with her hands on her hips and looked down at me. “How can you sleep through the whole day? I called you to dinner 3 times and you are still not awake! ", She told me with an indignant expression on her face. You never had peace in this house! Before I could answer, she pulled the covers off me and started complaining again. “Yesterday I asked you to set the table and clean the bathroom. Before the guests arrive! You still know what day it is today, don't you? "
As if you could forget it. Nothing else has been discussed in our house for days. About two years ago my father died. It was a car accident. The police said at the time that he somehow lost control and hit a tree. Then last week I got a call from my father's former boss. He and 2 work colleagues want to pay us a visit, since my father's old documents had emerged which state that he had a patent on such a strange flashlight. What that had to do with me was still not fully understood, but my mother insisted that not only she, but also my little brother and I, enable the guests to have a pleasant evening with us.
“No, I haven't forgotten what day is today. Yes, I get up immediately and set the table. Yes, I'll clean the bathroom first, ”I answered her questions, rolling my eyes. She left my room, shaking her head and mumbling softly to herself. I was finally alone again. Still tired, I checked my watch. Shit, if I didn't get up now, I wouldn't be able to do any of this! So I slowly struggled out of my warm, comfortable bed and shuffled into the bathroom. Somehow I managed to get into the shower and was happy when the pleasant, hot water rained down on me. But suddenly it got freezing. I gave a startled scream and turned off the tap as quickly as I could. "James! Close the line, otherwise I'll kill you! "I roared. Of course he heard me. I could almost hear him laughing himself to death in the kitchen, knowing that if he turned on the tap below, only cold water would come up above.
