Alex held open the fridge with a frown, tapping his fingers along the door before grabbing a can of coke and closing it again. His father was at his parent/teacher interview, and wasn't going to be too pleased with Alex by the time he got back. He was torn between enjoying the time he had the house to himself and getting a start on his homework so he had something to show by the time his dad got back. He settled on the couch and flipped on the television. He had a few hours, he could watch one show.
