taking over

chapter one. normal day

Its a normal day for Christopher and his sister Mabel.
Walking back the corner store. And laughing at some joke that Christopher made up.
They where heading back home. To talk to their parents to see about back to school shopping.

But the walk home was disrupted by the little genius of the town. Joseph. The boy is 4"5' and smart as hell. Like. He knew how to build a working rocket at the age of 4. He only 15 but still. Small and he makes up for his size in brains.

Christopher smiles at Joseph. And being the nice. He waved at him.
Mabel waved as well. Wanting to mimic her older brother. At being nice and kind to others.
Joseph scoffs. "You two got in the way. Move. Now."
Mabel gasps at how rude joseph is being to them.
"We are just trying to be nice. Sorry joe" she mumbles and moves out of the way.

Christopher smiles gently and moves out of the way as well. "Sorry man. Didn't know our walk got in the way. See you at school?"
Joseph mumbles and moves to start calculating something and goes to the corner store.

Mabel huffs. "He didn't need to be rude. We didn't know. As smart as he is. He's mean. "
Christopher smiles and wraps an arm around Mabel to give her a side hug. "Don't worry sis. He will come around one day. And that day will be a good day for all of us. "

Mable nods slowly and turns to continue walking back home.
Christopher smiles and glances back to where Joseph was and looks to see why he was so upset. There was a motherboard to some device right there. Broken.
The sun was right on it. Like he was working on it in the best lighting he can get.

Chris picks up the broken thing and pockets it. Following after his sister. To make it home together.

Joseph was watching them with hated eyes. Standing next to his mother behind the counter and crossing his arms.

He's mother sets an arm on his shoulder. "One day you can be freinds with them. Just need to be more polite. "

Joseph scoffs "not with someone that does not know how to fix the thing he broke. "

The mother sighs and takes her hand away from her sons shoulder. "Can you please go stock up the candy ieal." (You know the stores like... Rows)

Joseph stops away to go do that to help his mother get her job done. Thinking about his plans.
