The school day went by like a hot breeze on a summer day. I had all but ran out the front doors to escape the hellhole when the bell rang. I jumped onto my hover board and raced home to finish my homework.
I drove through the traffic with ease and found myself home in twenty minutes flat. Mom still wasn't home, so I grabbed an apple and made my way up to my bedroom. I flopped down on my bed and did what little homework I had before I moved on to my new hovercraft.
It didn't take long for me to instal the camera at the front, now all I had left to do was wire in the camouflage setting.
As I began to set in the wiring for the camouflage, I heard the front door open and shut gently. Mom must be home.
But, she never called for me, which was curious. Worried, I leaned back and cocked my head to listen for any noise downstairs. I heard muted footsteps lead into Mom's office. I stood as the Not Mom began typing on the computer. I made my way downstairs, making sure to make no sound.
I leaned against the wall beside the open doorway of Mom's home office and peeked around the corner. There sitting at the desk scanning the screen of some document was my little bother.
"Dominic Bruce Wayne-Kyle, what the hell are you doing?" I grumbled agitated as my older brother swiveled the office chair around grinning like the stray cat that ate your canary bird.
"Mitchell Alexander Wayne-Kyle, I just so happen to be stopping by. Aren't you supposed to be in high school, or something?" He asked, totally at ease. Though, I knew he could kick my skinny but into next month and get away with it.
"For your information, school was released an hour and a half ago, genius." I remarked sarcastically as I rolled my eyes ate him. "Really, what are you doing here? I thought you 'didn't want to be held back from all your potential.'" I quoted him.
"Well, Alley Cat, I came by for a slice of your loot. I'm in a bit of a stump." He shrugged. He did look a little rugged, his jaw outlined with black stubble, his hair unkempt and longer than his usual cut. But, that was just an excuse he was going to use on Mom, who knew nothing of our night lives.
"Well, maybe I might, Stray Cat, if you tell me why you're really here for." Dom grinned again.
"Can't keep nothing from you, Cub, can I?" He said as he leaned forward. "I... might have...upset a couple of people." He shrugged nonchalantly. I glared at him in disbelief. I opened my mouth to reprimand him when the front door opened.
"Mitch, I'm home." Mom called as her heels clicked against the wood floors of the entry hallway. She was heading straight for the office. Dom didn't miss a beat as he swiveled around and deleted his page on the computer then shut it off before leaping out of the computer chair, making sure it was in its rightful place. All in a moment before Helena Wayne-Kyle entered the room. She stopped when she saw Dominic, her first born son.
"Dominic?" She asked softly. He grinned sheepishly and shrugged.
"Surprise!" He said cheekily before throwing an arm around my shoulders. This was going to be a long night.
Sooooo sorry for not updating in a long time. I know, I haven't updated since the beginning of summer, but first I was exhausted from swim team practice, then in early July a close friend of mine was killed in a car accident. She was just a year older than me, and was an amazing person. I'm honored to have even been associated with her. If you've been on my profile you probably noticed the tribute to her.
But, other than that, I hope you enjoyed, I am sorry that it took me this long to get out of my funk, but, now you have a new chapter!
