I get off my bus and walk up my driveway like normal. Every day was the same with how my mom was. It's always do the dishes, clean the house, pick up your brother from school, go to the store. Always the same. I grab the mail as I walk up the stairs to the porch then walk in the door. "Mama im home" i say while taking off my shoes. "Hey Heather are you gonna pick up your brother up from the bus stop today?" She says. "Ya i am. And i have a question. Can i go to Daria's house later and sleep over?" I say trying not to act nervous. "I ain't got gas moneys kid" she says. "Daria said she will pick me up though." I say. "Ya ya sure whatever." She says blowing smoke into the air.

I go to grab the phone to call Daria. I dial in her numbs and it rings for a couple seconds. "Hey Dars! My mom said ya to coming over" i say. "That's great! I'll come pick you up around 7" Daria says before hanging up.

I walk outside and grab my bike and start riding down the road to my brother's bus stop. I stand there for what feels like 20 minutes waiting. Soon the bus pulls up and my brother is the first one to get out. "Hey Niki! How was school?" I say getting back on the bike and helping Niki onto the handle bars. "It was great!! I made mom a drawing in art!" He says smiling. "That's awesome. Hey im gonna go to my friends to sleep over later do you need anything before i go? Like food or anything?" I say pedaling the bike. "Yes i want noodles." Niki says. "Okay well we're home I don't know how much mom will be home tonight but call if you need anything. You know Daria's number right?" I say putting the bike away. "Ya I do." Niki says walking into the house. "Hey mom! I made you a drawing" he says running to hand it to her. "That's awesome Nickel" She says putting the picture on the fridge. "Ma im going in a hour so im gonna make Niki some noodles" I say grabbing a pot out of the cupboard. "Okay? Im going to get more beer I'll be back later Heater" She says leaving.

"Are you gonna be okay alone for a bit?" I say worried. "Ya im 11 now.. I'll be fine." He says eating his noodles. "Do you think mom would let my friend Trevor come over? He has an older brother your age. Anthony?" Niki says. "Im not sure. Wait Anthony Jared? I used to like him. A long time ago tho.." I say. "Ya him!" Niki says. "You should just ask mom if she says yes make his brother come." I say. "Okay deal!" Niki says "I think Daria's gonna be here soon buddy. You sure you'll be okay?" I ask "yes Heather I will be fine" Niki says. "Okay bye" I say before walking out the door.
