THE LOVE OF A BROTHER
Cody was walking home from school when someone bumped into him. It was Zack.
"Zack! What are you doing, running to school or something?" Cody asked.
"No, I was waiting for you. I guess I couldn't wait and wanted to see where you were and bumped into you on your way out." Zack said, quickly standing up and smiling. Cody gave him a look.
"It's the truth!" He exclaimed.
"Why were you out of school before me?" Cody asked. Zack gulped. There was a silence.
"I am waiting for an answer." Cody said, smiling.
"I never even went to school today. I felt sick so I stayed home." Zack said, thinking of a quick excuse.
"If you are sick then how did you run all the way back to school and bump into me?" Cody asked with a triumphant smile.
"I feel a lot better." Zack said. Cody nodded his head, not believing anything Zack said.
"Now that you are out, let's walk home together. You know, since we are brothers." Zack said.
"Sure." They walked, but it was quiet. Suddenly Cody stopped.
"Cody? What is it?" Zack asked, rushing to him.
"I think I left my math homework back at my desk. I'm gonna go run back and get it." That was a lie. Cody never forgot his homework.
"I'll wait here for you." Zack said.
"I'll be right back!" Cody called from behind his shoulder. He went in the school and pretended he was getting his homework, when he went into the bathroom. No one was in there.
"Right then, I think I felt something. Something weird. Could it have been love? No. Brothers don't love brothers in that kind of way." Cody smiled uncertainly. He went back outside.
"Did you get it?" Zack asked when Cody caught up with him.
"Yea! So glad I didn't get a late assignment." Cody said, patting his backpack.
"That was a good thing to do." He said to himself.
When they got home Carey had a hard time believing Cody had forgotten his math homework.
"You never forget anything that relates to school." She said,
"I had a hard time believing it too," Zack said, eying Cody suspiciously.
"It's the truth, you have got to believe me!" Cody said, trying to make them trust him.
"We'll believe you for now, but later we will find out the truth!" Zack exclaimed.
