The next day, I was up at two in the afternoon, just like I did when I didn't have work or school. And now that we have this break, I'm not gonna waste time and let this chance slip, I'm still a lazy teenager after all.
We were watching cartoons as usual in the living room, my little brother beside me.
Mom was preparing herself for work, saying that she had a night shift starting today and for the following days. Looking at the clock, she said in a hurry, "I should get going now.
"Be a good boy, Nathan. And take good care of him, Snow." She kissed us both on the cheeks. Nathan and I nodded our heads simultaneously like an obedient dog.
My eyes trailed in space and once mom pulled from the garage, she sped off the road and vanished insight. Turning around, my lips turned upward, beaming at my little brother.
