Elora realized that allowing Alonzo to sleep in would only set a negative precedent. If he became accustomed to being late, it could turn into a habit—one she was determined to prevent.
“Sis, I won’t be late. When I get to school, there are still many classmates who haven’t arrived yet. Just ask the driver to go faster,” Alonzo suggested, pouting.
Elora shook her head resolutely. “Absolutely not. Speeding isn’t safe. It doesn’t matter if your classmates are late; you can’t afford to be late. Now, get up. If you don’t, I’m going to get mad.”
Alonzo groaned but remained still.
With a playful smile, Elora gently pinched his cheeks. “Come on, buddy. It’s just two more days of school, and then it’s the weekend. You’ll have two days to relax and do whatever you want.”
“The holidays are always too short,” Alonzo grumbled, reluctantly sitting up. “It feels like winter break just started, and now school is already here. Summer vacation is so much better—it lasts so much longer.”
Elora chuckled. “Two months of summer vacation, and you still think it’s not long enough. No matter how much time you get, it’s never sufficient for you, is it?”
She paused, softening her tone. “You’re still young, Alonzo. Right now, I want you to enjoy your childhood. You have a couple more years to play and have fun before you need to focus more on your studies. However, next week, we’ll need to reschedule your enrichment classes. Compared to some of your classmates, you’re taking very few at the moment. I’m not enrolling you in too many because I want you to enjoy being a kid, but we can’t neglect them either.”
Alonzo sighed dramatically. “Sister, can I skip the enrichment classes for just one more week? Just one more?”
Elora lightly tapped his forehead with
her finger. “What do you think?” He groaned again, muttering under his breath, “Why do I have to learn so many things?” Elora crouched down to meet his gaze. “You enjoy spending time with Tatum, right? You think he’s amazing—how he knows everything and can do anything.” Alonzo’s face brightened at the mention of Tatum. “Brother Tatum is awesome! He knows everything and always has new games and ideas when he takes Angelo and me out to play. Sister, can you give Brother Tatum two days off? Let him take us to the playground! Please?” Elora couldn’t help but smile at his enthusiasm. She knew how much Alonzo and Angelo adored Tatum. Whenever Tatum was available, the boys eagerly clung to him, excited for new adventures. Unfortunately, Tatum spent most of his time helping Elora, which made his free time scarce. “Well,” Elora replied with a teasing smirk, “we’ll see. It depends.” Alonzo beamed, sensing hope. “Now, hurry up and get dressed. I’ll be waiting for you downstairs. Don’t keep me waiting too long,” she added, standing and smoothing out the blanket. As Alonzo hopped off the bed, he asked, “Is Angelo awake yet?” Elora glanced over her shoulder as she headed toward the door. “He’s probably up by now. He never sleeps in when Tatum makes breakfast. Angelo works hard to be the first one up so he can come over and eat.” Alonzo giggled. “He loves Tatum’s cooking more than anyone.” With that, Alonzo hurried to get ready. Elora left the room, confident he would join her soon. She thought Angelo was likely already on his way to the breakfast table, eager to enjoy Tatum’s creations as usual.
