Journey to the center of the cube

The other siblings

Lars walked out of the apartment and went down the lift, once he got out, he passed through reception and went outside the door with his card. He soon walked up to a black car with a number plate of GEYER 1. 

He unlocked the car and got in, sighing once he sat down and closed the car door. Lars started humming the same soft melody Alva hummed as he started the engine and began driving towards a school, not far from the apartment.

Once he made it, he was greeted by two faces, both looked equally the same, they are the one and only, Eamon and Quinn Geyer, both were 17 years old and both had messy, shaggy brown hair. The only difference they had was that one was frowning and the other was smiling. 

The twins straightened their backs and got into the car, the smell of sweat and grass was strong. 

"How was the match?" Lars asked as he started driving through the streets.

"Great. We won. Like always." Quinn said, still frowning and taking out his iPhone 7 and started texting his friends from school.

"Okay." Eamon answered as he took out a book from his bag and started reading. The book had a picture of a Golden Retriever for a cover and on top it said, A Dog's Purpose. 

Lars said nothing but sighed and leaned back towards his seat as he drove on. 

Once he stopped the car, they had arrived to a very colourful kindergarten, everything was decorated with children's works and achievements, nothing was left undecorated, sometimes it made Lars puke.

"Stay here." Lars ordered the twins who just absentmindedly nodded their heads as Lars got out of the car. 

He walked into the kindergarten and smiled politely even if he hated the place. Walking to the reception, he noticed some 30 year old woman looking at him as if confused.

"I'm here to pick up Rhys and Aveline Geyer?" Lars said to the receptionist who just nodded and motioned him to wait with the other moms who were waiting for their kids. Lars, not wanting to complain, awkwardly took a seat between two moms, who looked at him weirdly.

"Can I help you?" Lars asked the women who just kept staring.

"Are you married?" One of them asked

"No." Lars said uncomfortably

"Did you make love and ended up having a baby?" The other asked as Lars started clenching his right fist slowly.

"No." He muttered 

"Then why are you here?" The mom asked as Lars started clenching and unclenching his fist.

"To pick up my little brother and sister." Lars answered simply and just like that, the women stopped conversing with him, which made him glad.

"Guardian of Rhys and Aveline Geyer?" The receptionist asked as two kids came out, holding each other's hands. One was 4 year old girl while the other was 5 and a boy, the girl, also known as Aveline, had medium blonde hair that was tied to a ponytail while the boy, also known as Rhys had brown shaggy hair like the twins but he wore glasses.

"Big brother!" Adeline cheered as she let go of her brother's hand and ran towards Lars who knelt down to let her hug him.

"Hey there buttercup, how was your day?" Lars asked her as Aveline put lifted her right hand and put her index finger on her chin in a thinking manner before answering him.

"Boring." She answered as Lars chuckled and smiled at her. He then looked at Rhys who slowly but steadily walked towards Lars who opened his left arm for him.
