—Josh

My eyes were really heavy. I'm still very sleepy. But my mom's freaking out so I took a quick shower and dressed up for school. I took my bag and went downstairs.

“Breakfast is ready, Josh.”, mom humbly said.

Our breakfast for today was egg, ham, bread, jam and some sausages. We don't usually drink milk every morning.

“Yeah. I see.”, I replied obviously.

Mickey and Miles arrived running around the table. These two were really insane.

“Mickey! Miles! Sit down!”, mom yelled at them.

These two always do this every morning and mother's getting stress everyday.

The two stopped running and took their seats. Mom served us our breakfast and all of us ate quietly.

“Where's dad?”, I asked to mom.

She faced me with a wondering face. I know she's shocked. I never asked where dad is.

“Uhm. He went early to his office. You know, paper works.”

I just nodded.

“I'll drive Mickey and Miles to school, mom.”

She smiled and nodded.

We were making our way to Mickey and Miles's school. We're still very early so I decided to bought them some bread.

“Where are we going?”, Miles asked.

“It's still early, Miles. I'm taking you to Robert's”

“Really?!!”, Miles and Mickey yelped.

I just smiled and they cheered.

When we arrived at Robert's, I parked my car and the two went inside the store running, again.

“Hey, Harris!”, Mr. George greeted me.

He was the oldest baker here in the store. I wonder how he came up on that.

“Nice to see you, Mr. George.”, then I smiled.

“Me too!”, Mickey said.

“Me three!”, Miles said.

Mr. George chuckled as he packed the the usual breads these two really like.

“Here you go, you two.”, Mr. George said as he gave the breads to Mickey and Miles.

The two went running outside and got inside the car.

“Those two never changed.”, Mr. George chuckled.

“Yeah. They're getting me pissed.”

“Just, go with the flow, dear.”

“Maybe next time. Thank you, Mr. George.”, then I paid him.

“See you again, Josh!”

Then, I waived goodbye.

“Here. Don't make a mess again, huh?”

We arrived at their school five minutes before the flag ceremony.

“Of course, Josh.”, said Miley.

“I promise.”, said Mickey.

“I'll ride you home later, okay?”
