The heatwave that was forecast certainly lived up to its name. On Monday morning it was already 115 degrees Fahrenheit, with the mercury only expecting to rise, and not drop. Jasper groaned and rolled over fitfully in bed. He hated hot weather. He always found it impossible to sleep in hot weather. He rolled over and got out of bed. Maaan he felt dizzy. He got up and stumbled over to the bathroom to brush his teeth. He parked himself in front of the sink and reached down for his toothbrush and toothpaste. He lathered up his mouth and started scrubbing.
Was the top of the mirror always this close to his forehead? He didn't remember it being that close. Perhaps the heat was warping his mind or something. Yeah, that was it. Just the heat. He finished brushing his teeth and went back into his room to change. His clothes felt a little tight. Perhaps he was working out a bit too much. Hehehe. He tugged them on anyway, and then went into the kitchen, where his mother was making cereal for breakfast.
"Hey sweetie!" she said, and she hopped up on her tip-toes to give him a kiss, "Hungry?"
"Mmmm..." Jasper mumbled, and sat down.
"Hey champ!" said Jasper's dad, "Honey".
"Sweetie," said Mrs. Davian.
"I'll see you folks this evening," said David. He gave his son a ruffle of his brown hair and his wife a kiss, "You be good now, Jasp".
"Yeah pa," said Jasper. He started eating his cereal. He was really hungry. He ate one. Two. Three. Four. Five bowls. By the time he was done, the box of Frosty Flakes was completely empty. He got up and wondered what to do today. Nothing too exertive. It was waaay to hot for that. He'd watch a movie or something. He went back to his room, turned on his computer and put a DVD into the disc-drive. He'd sit back and watch a few movies, yeah, that sounded like a good idea. He turned off the lights and turned on the air-conditioning, and went to find something to eat.
"Back again?" his mother asked, "You ARE hungry!"
"So?" Jasper asked.
"Nothing," she said, "Just nice to see you eating".
"Thanks," said Jasper. He took an entire tub of ice-cream and a spoon back to his room. He had serious munchies. He had no idea why he was so hungry, but he was. So he took a bottle of lemonade and a glass back to his room, too.
