Thirteen

I wake up to the smell of bacon coming from downstairs.

I take my glasses off my table and put them on. I hop off the bed, making sure to grab my phone and slip it into my pocket.

I go into the bathroom, brush my teeth and then I go downstairs.

"Hey hey! Look who's up" David says.

I look into the kitchen to see David cooking on the stove, with a small towel thrown over his shoulder.

Max is sitting down, eating bacon off his plate while doing homework.

"Hey" I yawn "bacon?"

David looks at me while turning down the stove "yeah, thought I'd make breakfast since your mom is busy"

I bite the inside of my cheek as I sit next to max.

"I won't say anything, but just know she doesn't mean it," he says, turning the stove up again "max, how is it?"

"Good- could cook a little longer though" max suggests "dad used to make it crispy"

I make a gagging noise.

"What? You don't like crispy bacon?" David asks.

I shake my head "disgusting"

"He's picky," max says with a grin.

"I am not! Crispy bacon is just.. too crispy?"

"I agree, he's picky" David chuckles while throwing a bit of salt onto the bacon.

"Why are you doing homework?" I ask pointing to the sheet in front of max.

"It's fun?" He looks at me weirdly "why aren't you doing homework mr smarty pants"

"Said no kid ever- and I'm not doing homework because one it's Sunday, and two I don't have homework because unlike you I finish my work in class"

"But I like school," max says "I'm the smartest in my grade"

"Then why do you Max Davidson have homework?" I ask with a slight grin on my face.

His face reddens "because... I ask for extra"

I shake my head "god you're going to have it rough in high school"

"Why?" Max asks.

"Because you ask for extra work," I say "I'll tell you one thing, and that's nobody asks for extra work. In fact, you're going to ask for less"

"Sure I will" he rolls his eyes and continues writing numbers on the questions.

"Here George" David passes me the plate with bacon on it, placing it in front of me.

"Thanks," I say eating a piece.

Max looks at me, waiting for my opinion on the bacon.

"What? It's good it's not crispy" I smile.

"Eliza is at Leah's house," David says "so, max what do you wanna do today hm?"

Max shrugs and closes his duo-tang with homework inside.

"We could go fishing?" David suggests.

Max's eyes light up "you'll take me fishing?"

David furrows his eyebrows "yeah? What kinda question is that? Of course, I'll take you fishing"

"He's never been fishing, our dad didn't get the chance to take him," I say.

David looks at max "I'm taking you fishing"
