Chapter 28

"Dad!" Lavina said, jumping off of the couch, giving him a hug.

"Well hello there, daughter of mine." He said, hugging her back. "Where is your dear old mother?"

"Dad, she's only in her thirties." Oglm gave her a look.

"Man, I'm getting old." He put his hands onto his back.

"She's still at work."

"This late?"

"Hey Lavina?" Anghi said, coming into the living room. "Can you-" He paused. "Uh, sorry, I didn't know you had company."

"Oh, no, no, no! This is perfect!" Lavina waved him in. "Anghi, this is my father, Oglm."

"Oh, uh, hello, Mr. Ozedk." He said, extending his hand.

"Hello to you too, Mr. Anchod." Oglm shook his hand. "So this is your brother, hm? He's so nice and professional."

"Thank you sir."

"You can call me Oglm, Anghi, it's fine."

"So how's the Market, dad? Is it like you remember?"

"Eh, it's different in its ways." He walked over to the couch. "Have you two had dinner yet?"

"Dad, it's like four o'clock, we just got back from school."

"Yes, well you two shouldn't be hungry now, should you?"

They laughed.

"Now what was it you needed Anghi?"

"Hm? Oh, it can wait until later."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah."

"Well, why don't you two go out and have some fun. I'll call you in when it's done."

"Well, we were actually thinking about taking a walk down to mom's old school."

"And maybe you just might run into her on the way there?"

"Well, I mean, if she happens to be coming home from work..." He ruffled their heads.

"You cunning little children. Alright go surprise your mother, I'll send you a text."

"Thank you!" They both said together. They slipped on their shoes and went out the front door.

"Your dads really nice."

"I'm glad you like him." They crossed the street and then began to walk.

"So mom used to go to Axe Street High?"

"Mhm." They turned at the sign and then walked some more. They stopped in front of the school, looking at the words on top of it.

"Wow what a big school."

Lavina laughed. "Big? This isn't big."

"It isn't?"

"Uh uh, I've been to a bigger school."

"Really."

"Oh yeah."

"I suppose you're right, though I've never been to a public school before."

"You've only gone to private schools?"

"Yup."

"Oh wow, bravo. You must be very smart."

He laughed. "I am not, I failed two classes in middle school, had to retake them both."
