Brotherly Love

Chapter 3: First day of school

DJ's POV:

After talking to Mum and Dad, I headed for the couch, but Dad stopped me. "Wouldnt you like a bed?" He asked in a soothing tone. I nodded. He then led me upstairs, them smiling the whole time. We stopped at Dawkins' door. "Isn't this Dawkins' room?" I asked as they opened the door. The room was pretty big. The left side of the room was full of gadgets and tech. The other side had my musical instruments and a bean bag. I gasped in surprise. Dawkins was on his bed, glaring at me.

I whimpered silently and climbed onto my bed. I jumped happily on it. "Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!" I shouted joyfully. Mum chuckled. "Settle down now. You have a big day tomorrow. It's your first day of school." I nodded. As I tucked myself in, they walked out the room and closed the door. I heard Dawkins sigh. "What's wrong?" I asked. He looked over at me.

"Nothing. Just hope your enjoying my parents' love," he said annoyed. I knew we were different, but I never thought he would not like me. I suddenly had an idea. "Well, how about we hang out tomorrow? Y'know, at like Regent's Park? Or give me a tour around the neighborhood?" I offered, wanting to bond with him. He looked out the window and nodded his head. 

"Guess it's the least I could do. But I'm not wanting to hang out with you. Okay?" He said, and I looked down. "Sure." He nodded, satisfied. "Now rest up, tomorrow is your first day at my school." He said that last part angrily. "Okay, good night."

The Next Morning...

"BREAKFAST!" Dolly screamed. I jumped up surprised from her yell. I looked over at Dawkins' bed. He wasn't there. I slowly walked out the room, and headed downstairs. Everyone, including Dawkins, was eating. Dolly waved at me. "Come join us, little bro!" I smiled at the warm welcome. DaVinci patted the seat next to her. "I saved you a spot," she said with a smile. I smiled back. I somewhat liked her. I didn't really think it was wrong since we weren't blood related. I sat next to her. 

"Thanks," I said, and started eating.

"No problem, DJ. I hope you love it here so far."

"Yeah, I do." I replied as I closely looked at Dawkins who was glaring at me, shaking his head.

One hour later - Camden Middle School

I walked into the school, with Dawkins by my side. He gave me a paper. "Here's your schedule and where you need to be. I'll see you after school. Bye." He said and walked away without saying ' love ya' or 'good luck'. Eh. I looked at the paper and where my locker was. I walked to it and put in the code. But it wouldn't budge. Suddenly, a German Shepherd came out of a room. "You having trouble? Here let me help" he offered as he punched it hard. My locker swung open. 

I was stunned. "Thanks, Mr..." I looked at his dog tag. "Charlie."

"Whoa, I ain't a teacher. I'm a student. Please, just call me Charlie." He stuck his paw out. I shook it. "I'm DJ Dalmatian. I'm a new kid." His eyes went wide.

"Your a Dalmatian? I know them! I'm best friends with them! And you are, what, adopted?"

I nodded my head. "Yep, I'm adopted," I sighed. Charlie smiled. "Well, you should be happy. They're a great family. Well, see ya later. I gotta go. Bye!" He waved. I put some books in my locker and before I closed it, someone else slammed it shut. It was Dimitri 1.

"What are you doing here?" Dimitri 3 said from behind.

"We said stay out of our way. Now your gonna get it." Dimitri 2 swung his fist to my chest. I looked around, and a huge crowd had formed. I started breathing faster and faster, before I blacked out.

Dawkins POV:

I washed my paws and walked out the bathroom. I noticed everyone had circled a few pups. I shoved my way through the crowd, and gasped. DJ was bleeding from his nose and mouth, had a purple eye, and was knocked out. A memory came to my mind. Protect him. I couldn't control myself. Don't ask why I did what I did. But before I knew it, The Dimitri Trio was on the ground, groaning. "What the hell, Dawkins?!" Dimitri 1 yelled. "Leave DJ alone, okay?" I asked him calmly, helping them up. They scoffed before punching my snout and walking away. I glanced over at DJ and helped him up. "Alright, let's get you to the nurse." He looked like he was fighting back tears. 

"Is there a bathroom or closet?" He asked.

I nodded. He went inside the closet and I heard sobbing. Suddenly, I spotted a familiar German Shepherd. "Charlie!" I yelled happily before hugging him.

"Who's crying?" He asked, putting his ear to the closed closet door. "You probably don't know him, but--" He opened the closet door. "DJ, you alright?" He asked him. DJ answered with sniffing.

"I just got beat up by my brothers." He answered. Charlie didn't look surprised. "It was the Dimitri Trio, wasn't it?" He asked smiling. "I'll take care of them." He finished before walking off to find them. DJ continued to sob. I actually felt sorry for him. I gently tapped his shoulder. He jumped. "Why are you crying? Don't cry. Look, tomorrow is Dizzy and Dee Dee's birthday and maybe you and me could go get them something. What do you say?" 

He nodded. "Sure. Oh, and thanks for protecting me. You are a great brother."

Finally finished. This is probably the longest chapter I have ever made. Sometimes my things will have italics and bold letters and other times it won't. Also for you 101 Dalmatian street fans...
