Joe sauntered into his room and clenched his teeth. He slammed the door and began to wrestle with the sheets on his bed as he attempted to pull them up and straighten them out. Next, he got down on his hands and knees and started to grab the clothes, books, and shoes shoved under his bed. He let out a deep sigh when he saw the massive heap of items from under his bed and reached for his phone, wondering if they'd started the basketball game without him. Joe quickly stuffed his phone back in his pocket and began sorting laundry and placing books on his bookshelf. He raced into his sister's perfectly organized room and grabbed the duster and vacuum. Joe wasn't surprised to see that she was already done with them and on the phone with her friend; it usually took Joe twice as long to clean as his sister. He swiftly pushed the vacuum around his room as he dusted the top of his dresser and nightstand. Looking around, Joe felt pleased with what he'd accomplished. He opened his blinds, emptied the trash, and double-checked that everything was done before grabbing his jacket and basketball and darting out the front door towards the park.
