My Brother, The Dentist

Chapter 42-

The next morning, I jumped in Sam's car with him and he gave me a lift to school. He was heading there too, so it was no hassle at all. Sam parked in the staff carpark. I had a feeling today wasn't going to be particularly fun for me.

"You head into school Billy, I need to sign in at the office" Sam said, unplugging his seatbelt and going to head out the car.

"Wait, Sam" I said, stopping him. "You need to sign my consent form, you forgot to do it last night" I informed him, pulling the scrunched piece of paper out of my blazer pocket.

"Oh yeah" Sam said, as he flattened out the paper and scribbled his signiture in the box provided.

We both got out the car; I grabbed my backpack and Sam seized a big bag from the backseat of his car, presumably filled with equipment.

"Alright, see you later then Billy" Sam smiled, waving as he walked off. I waved back, slightly unwillingly. I didn't want anyone seeing me with him!

I walked into school, and found Kyle at the lockers, talking to our good friend, Charlie.

"Hey guys" I smiled, "got your consent forms?" I asked, rolling my eyes to show my dissatisfaction.

"Unfortunately" Kyle groaned.
"Yep" Charlie replied.

"Hey Billy, your chipped tooth is fixed!" Kyle mentioned, pointing to my tooth.

"Yeah, Sam fixed it last night. I can't believe he's coming in today, it's kind of embarrassing."

"I guess you don't even need him to check yours?" Charlie asked.

"I guess you're right" I answered. I hadn't thought of that actually! Maybe today wouldn't be so bad after all!

We headed into the classroom together and took our seats at the back of the class. Shortly after, the teacher entered with Sam following close behind her, wearing his doctors coat and smiling enthusiastically.

"Goodmorning everyone!" miss Galeski beamed. "Now, i'll pass you straight over to Doctor Chespin here, so be polite and listen carefully."

"Thank you miss Galeski" Sam smiled. "Hi everyone, as you already know, I'm Doctor Samuel Chespin, and I'll be giving you all checkups today. Now firstly, i'm going to come round and check you all have your parental consent forms and collect them in. I'll also write your names on my list to call you out. You can either come out in partners or on your own, so decide amongst yourselves"

Sam began going around to everyone's desks;

"Hey Billy" Kyle muttered to me.

"Yeah?" I replied quietly.

"I'm gonna ask Sam if I can have braces soon."

"Are you being serious?" I asked, in shock. "You've gotta be joking, right?"

"I'm being serious Billy, I'd really like straight teeth you know" Kyle said, not joking about- for a change.

"Well, if that's what you want then go for it. But you're crazy in my opinion" I admitted, giggling slightly.

Sam finally approached mine and Kyle's desk, collecting in our forms.

"You two look like little troublemakers back here" he said in a questioning tone. "What are you whispering about?"

"Braces" I admitted proudly.

"Ah, well, fair enough" Sam replied, not having a snidy comeback like per usual. "Are you two getting your checkups as a pair or on your own?"

Kyle and I looked at each other briefly, but we both new the obvious answer. I gave Kyle a little nudge with my elbow and he informed Sam we'd go together.
After Sam had made it back to the front of the classroom, he cleared his throat and began to speak loud and clearly again;
"It's excellent that you all have your forms completed. Well done for that. Now, we're going to get started straight away." Sam said, rubbing his hands together. "Whilst you're waiting for your checkup, you'll be completing maths sums, is that right miss Galeski?" Sam explained, looking over at miss Galeski for clarification.
