The next day as he was sitting outside waiting for the bus, he thought to himself
Lake:💭one more day,if I just do nothing my brother can't get me in trouble and strikes reset each week💭
Lucas:hello dear brother
The expression on lakes face changed from hopeful to anger real quick
Lake:how could you?
Lucas:how could I what?
Lake:LIE! You knew I played by the fence everyday yet you told the teacher I was climbing it!
Lucas:how was I supposed to know?
Lucas put on his fake sorry face before giving that same sinister grin he did yesterday on the playground
Lucas:maybe be careful where you play next time
Lake growled
Lake:you are a-
Mom:LAKE! NOT ONLY DID YOU FORGET YOUR HOMEWORK BUT NOW YOUR INSULTING YOUR BROTHER!?
Lake:w-wait mom it's not what it-
Lucas:he was mad at me for telling miss.j about his rule breaking
He says with a defenseless face which only lake knew was fake
Mom:whatever,lake if I have to get you from detention then I will take away your toy car
Lake:what you can't! It was the last thing grandpa made for me!
Mom:well then start being nicer to your brother
Lake:okay
Lakes grandpa and grandma raised him until he was 8, his grandma sued most of his stuffed toys and clothing since she was a retired custom items maker for 50 years while his grandpa carved his toy cars, made his phone and his bed frame as he was once a engineer 29 years worked as a electrocution,coder and iPhone maker for 5 years each and did carpentry as a hobby since he was 14,but that was 4 years ago at the age of 62 now lake was alone and his brother didn't help

Lucas now looked mad too but before he could say anything the bus driver came and opened the door so Lucas had to continue his friendly facade

Lucas:hello mr.bus driver
Driver:hello Lucas have a great day
When the bus driver looks at lake his expression turns Grimm
Driver:try not to eat on my bus again and good luck
Lake:alright...
