The bell for home time rung and I met Kyle outside the school gates.
"I just wanna go to the shop first, Sam gave me some money this morning and I never spent it!" I declared.
"Alright then" Kyle responded, with a nervous tone.
"Don't be nervous Kyle, my brother's fine, really." I state, questioning whether I had just lied or not.
"I'm not nervous" Kyle said confidently. "Well, maybe just a little" he admitted causing me to giggle slightly.
We arrived at the corner shop, I bought a can of Coca-Cola and two sherbet tubes, Kyle however didn't want anything, even after I'd insisted many times. After a steady walk of chatting and joking, Kyle and I finally reached my brother's office and plonked ourselves down on chairs in the waiting room."We'll just wait for Sam to come out and see if he's free, if not I'm sure we can book you an appointment!" I said to Kyle enthusiastically, glad I wasn't the one getting my teeth looked at today. Kyle just nodded his head, seeming really nervous.
After waiting about 10 minutes, Sam came round the corner with a young girl and her mother. He waved them off then came up to me and Kyle.
"Good to see you Billy, and who's this you have with you?" he asked happily.
"This is Kyle..." I reply to Sam.
"Ah Kyle, it's good to meet you!" Sam smiled, shaking Kyle's hand. "So you boys just chilling then?"
"Well, we were wondering if you had time to give Kyle a checkup, his teeth have been hurting" I said on Kyle's behalf, which he looked thankful for.
"I can have a look at the end of my shift, which will be in about an hour, if you're willing to wait around that long?" Sam answered, looking at Kyle with understanding eyes.
I looked at Kyle myself and he nodded his head at me. I'd never seen him this shy before!
"Alright cool! Just make sure you text someone at home to let them know where you are Kyle. You two can go chill in one of my spare dental rooms if you want, you know, do homework or play on your phones. The wi-fi code is in my office if you want it!" Sam said seeming excitable.
"Thanks Sam" I smiled, sipping my drink.
"Thank you Dr. Chespin" Kyle said, blushing.
"You're welcome Kyle, but just call me Sam" he smiled. "And Billy, I'm definitely giving your teeth a good brush later!" he stated, now turning deadly serious.
"Ugh, seriously?!" I groaned, rolling my eyes at him.
"Seriously! See you boys later" he called, walking off down the corridor.
After sam was out of sight, Kyle turned to me not seeming so shy anymore...
"Your brother seems really nice!" he smiled at me, suddenly looking a lot happier.
"Well, to you he is!" I rolled my eyes. "Come on, let's go." I led Kyle into one of the check up rooms and shut the door behind us. We both spent 45 minutes helping each other with homework and listening to music blasting from my phone. Fall Out Boy to be exact. After '20 Dollar Nose Bleed' had finished playing, I shut down the music app and to my surprise, Sam was walking into the room. Kyle suddenly stopped spinning round on a stool and I slowly raised the dentalchair I was laying on back to it's normal state.
