Brady decided to go to school the next day and after his dad Hugo dropped him off, he headed to the campus where Renee was waiting for him.
Renee: Brady, I'm so happy you are here today. Are you feeling better?
Brady: Yes today I'm feeling better and I feel happy seeing you again, Renee.
Keeran and Isaiah arrived a few seconds later.
Keeran: Hey guys...What's up, Brady? He high fived with him to greet him.
Isaiah: Brady, what happened yesterday and why didn't you come?
Brady: I just wasn't feeling good. But now I'm alright. Sorry I got you both worrying over me.
The bell started to ring like every other school day and soon enough, they were in separate classes. In Brady's class, the teacher was starting a math lesson at first because she wanted everyone to go over their math homework from last night. Even though Brady was absent from class, he still finished it with no struggle.
Teacher: Would anyone like to answer the first question from our homework?
No one raised their hands, so the teacher decided to call on Ezekiel.
Teacher: How about you, Ezekiel?
He slowly stood up and walked to the board trying to answer the question up on a board using an expo marker. When he finished solving the problem, he turned around to look at the teacher.
Teacher: I'm afraid that isn't the correct answer, Ezekiel. But it's okay...Please have a seat.
Ezekiel did what he was told, while the teacher still stood near the board asking for more volunteers.
Teacher: Who else would like to answer?
Brady: I would like to go.
Teacher: Of course, Brady. Come up to the board.
It only took the genius Brady a few seconds to solve the problem effortlessly and he was confident he got it correct.
Teacher: That's the correct answer, Brady. Well done!
Brady: Thanks.
Ezekiel looked pissed.
Ezekiel: On the inside. How did this nerd solve the problem that easily? He wasn't even here in class yesterday.
During the rest of the time in class, everyone continued to work on their textbook problems in their notebook until it was time for music class. The kids gathered around to find someone to dance with.
Renee: Brady wanna dance together? I don't have anyone else to dance with.
Brady: He smiled. Sure, Renee.
Brady and Renee held each other's elbows and danced following the beat of the music. The other children were doing the same thing except some pairs had two girls or two boys. Some others were sitting in the background waiting for their group to dance.
Ezekiel: Eww, did you see how Brady was dancing with Renee?
Dylan: That's gross. They can't dance at all.
Ezekiel: That loser boy also made me take my loss during math time.
Ezekiel: I don't know how he knew what homework we had.
Carson: That's what I can't understand either. The teacher always prefers him more.
About 3 weeks later, it was Brady's birthday and he was seen at home with his parents, brother, and the servants in his house.
Brady: I'm so glad this is a special day for me.
Brady: Did you send out all the invitations, mom?
Christa: Of course did, Brady. Everyone should be there and happy birthday, honey!
She smiled and hugged Brady.
Brady: Thanks mom!
Christa: Your aunt and uncle will come as well.
Brady: That's great. Did you find a good restaurant for us to go to?
Christa: Of course. It's a fancy restaurant we have never been to, but I know you'll like it.
2 hours later, Brady and his family were already in the restaurant waiting for the other people to arrive. That included his friends Keeran and Isiaiah, Jackson from his class, Renee, his maternal uncle Ricky, and his paternal aunt Vasalisa.
Keeran was the first to arrive with his parents.
Keeran: Happy Birthday Brady and I brought you my gift!
Brady: He opened the present and was delighted about it. Thanks, Keeran!
Keeran's dad Derek smiled and spoke to Hugo.
Derek: It's good to see you, dude. Hope you're doing amazing in life.
Hugo: Haha I am...I'm glad your son is friends with Brady.
Keeran decided they should go out to play at the game arcade where they host video games for kids their age.
Brady: Didn't expect you to arrive here first haha.
Keeran: I couldn't miss this day. Come on, let's go out!
Brady: But let's wait for everyone first.
Unexpectedly, Isaiah showed up along with Jackson to Brady's surprise.
Isaiah: Well no need to wait anymore. Because we're already here for you Brady.
Jackson: Happy birthday, Brady! Here's my present for you!
Brady: He opened the present. Thanks Jake! I like this one as well!
Keeran: Now can we go out?
Brady: Let's go ask my dad.
Brady went to his dad and asked him if he can play with his friends for a bit before the food arrives.
Brady: Dad, can I go out and play with my friends? We'll be back before the food arrives.
Hector: Of course, you can. Don't take too long, ok?
Brady went off with his friends outside to play and then walked inside the mall where there were lots of cotton candy machines and video game stations. Keeran, Isaiah, and Jackson were playing against each other. However, Brady didn't feel like playing, because he wanted to tell his secret to Renee alone. But before he could do that, Keeran interrupted them.
Keeran: Hey aren't you and Renee gonna play with us? It's your day to do whatever you like.
Brady: Don't worry we'll be back after some minutes. Me and Renee need to use the restroom for a while.
Keeran: Oh okay...
Finally, Brady and Renee were alone in the bathroom while there was nobody around.
Brady: Hey Renee...there's something I wanna tell you
Renee: About what Brady?
