• THE SURROUNDING

    Matt woke up in the morning, and saw it was 6:00, and thought why he woke up so early during the holidays. Then he saw a huge shadow coming down on top of him and it banged him on his head. Just for sometime he thought he was paralyzed, he saw the thing coming to bang his head again, but this time he caught the thing and pulled it down. He got very angry because it was his younger brother, Max, hitting him with a pillow.

    “Who told you to come & wake me up!” he yelled at Max who was busy laughing at his funny hairdo.
    “Mom did, she said we are going to shift to another house tomorrow, today is the pack up day. Now ‘Mister Matt’ could you get up and go and eat your breakfast, then pack your stuff”. max replied smirking like a weasel.

    Matt hated sharing a room with his little brother. He is the most annoying brother you could find. Matt is thirteen years old. His younger brother Max is eleven and they both have brown hair like their dad. They were moving to a new house in the country because of their family doctors advice. he said that their family was more likely to get lung cancer in the city and this made their mother all worried about it so she decided that hey should move to the country with all it's 'natural air' and 'greenery'. matt hated the idea of moving to another place because of a bald old mans advice. why doesn't he go and stay in the country?

    “I knew we were moving” he muttered. “You can leave now”

    Then he went downstairs and did whatever his mom told him to do, he then a got a bag & started stuffing all his things into it. After that he went upstairs and removed the bedsheets off the bed. His younger brother said that he had to pack up his 'toys'; so he had to remove Max’s bedsheets too. He was folding the bed sheet, when suddenly his eye caught a sight of something bright red under max's mattress. He took it out; it was his comic he lost last week.
    He rushed downstairs, were his brother was watching the television.

    He said with a edge to his voice “Max could you come upstairs with me”.
    “Yeah sure”, Max answered grimly because his mother was there. she told him to obey and respect his older brother. whoever made that rule?
    Matt went upstairs, with Max following him sulkily. he was watching his all time favorite program, Power Rangers:Mystic Force.

    "make this quick, Nick the red ranger just found out that his father is the bad guy and that his real name is Bowen and his mother is Uddona. what kind of names are those?" max said getting excited, "and lily pimvare the vampire's daughter, bacame one of the good guys."
    “Max, give me a good reason for me not to beat you up for taking my comic”, matt asked angrily ingnoring max.
    “You too give me a good reason for taking my ball; I found it under your bed” said Max
    “No I did not, you kept it yourself, so that I don’t get to play out and have to do all your work, I will call mum” screamed Matt “MOOOOOOOOOOM”
    “Useless mum’s not here, i think she went buy snacks for the car.” Max said trying not to laugh, “This disgust me, you are older than me but you act just like a baby, and guess what, the tape recorder, (which he got for Christmas) was recording. I am going to show it to Chris (who lived next door). Bye”
    "what was he doing with the tape recorder?" matt thought.
    “Now Max give me that right now!” screamed Matt.
    “No, I won’t, any probs” said Max cooly.

    Matt chased Max the whole afternoon then he got tired and took a nap. he was dreaming, he saw a big dark shape, it was shaped like a house. it was looming over him and it gave him the creeps. then something was disrupted the dream like a bad satellite dish during a interesting movie.
    Then he woke up and saw his brother was asleep on the couch with his thumb inside the mouth. So he took his digital camera (which he got for getting good grades) and he switched the light on and took a video of his brother sleeping.

    He tried searching for the tape recorder but gave trying because he knew it was well hidden.

    Next morning, he saw Max had already eaten his breakfast, and was heading to Chris's house. Matt quickly ran towards him.

    “Hey Max were you going?”
    “I was just going to the next door neighbor to show the, last thing, which might make this a memorable day for them to remember us.”
    “Before doing it come to me I will show ya something, wanna see.”
    “Sure why not.”

    Max walked cautiously towards him.

    “What is it ‘mister little kid”, asked Max curiously.
    “You stay away from me, check this cool thing out”, Matt replied trying to stay as far away from max as possible.

    Max saw the video and he started screaming, and that moment Jamie, Chris's younger bother (who is Max’s best friend) came in and started laughing. Max went red.

    “HA HA HA HA” Matt started laughing along with Jamie who gave him a high five. “Do that girly scream again Max it was so cool”, said Jamie laughing.

    At that moment Max got angry and switched the tape recorder on. Then a loud voice screamed which sounded like 'MOOOOOM!'

    “Who was ‘that’ girl?” said Jamie surprisingly turning around and looking at Max.
    “Come on Matt tell who is it” said Max with a grin on his face.
    Matt was quiet for a moment then Max screamed out, “don't you know your own voice”

    Then there was squeal laughter from both of the kids.

    Chris entered and said “what’s goin’ on guys?”

    Matt thought Max was going to say something but surprisingly he didn't.

    “Fine what’s happened has happened, whas' the big deal” Chris said interrupting the silence. He usually act like a grown up (even though he was two months younger than Matt).
    “We are going to leave after half an hour” said Max quickly to start a new conversation.
    “Ah knew that” answered Chris. He always knows everything.
    “Have you finished packing kids” said my mom from upstairs.
    “YES WE HAVE” they screamed together.
    "Guess we guys better leave, i ma gonna miss ya both. see ya wheneva i meet ya, man.” said jack
    “Bye guys” said Jamie, “keep in touch and ya both should start a girly voice shop or something, hehe” he chuckled.
    "ok we will and we'll make you the lead girly voice person!" max yelled roaring with laughter.
    "OI, you two should shuddup for today, ma head's gonna blow." Chris yelled on the top of his voice.
    "alright alright, you dont have to be grown up for today." matt interrupted.
    "okay then watch me being a kid." Chris said as he tackled matt to the ground.
    "Ok boys no more fighting today and matt you just dirtied your clothes." their mom came hovering over all of them.
    "Sorry mom." matt said sarcastically.
    "ya sorry mrs brockman i told him to stop acting like a kid but he wouldn listen to me." Chris said chuckling.
    "OK i am going back inside but i am watching you." she said pointing two fingers to them back and forth between herself and them.
    "ya sure I'll try to keep matt under control." Chris said trying to keep his laughter down.

    Just as she left the two boys started to wrestle again, but this time more silently.
