Hiding Behind a Mask

Chapter 2- Rivalary

Lance woke up early that day and see his siblings running around playing and not getting ready for school. Sam was watching TV while stuffing his face with "Fruit Loops", Rebecca was talking on her phone and not getting ready for work. Sarah was playing with Rico on the floor. Their Mom was upset that they were not ready yet. He ignores them and walks to the kitchen and takes his medication out.

" ¡Dejar de correr y prepárate! " Their Mom yells at her kids. They didn't listen to her and continued to do whatever.

"Mamá, you okay?" Lance asks while popping a pill in his mouth.

"Lance, get your lazy brother off his butt and get him ready for school." She said. "Sarah, ahora ¡Prepárate! " Their Mom yells.

" Sí. " Sarah got up and ran to the bathroom to get changed. Lance walks up to Sam and smacks him on the back of the head, causing Sam to choke on "Fruit Loops". Sam glares at him moments later.

" ¡El hijo de puta! " Sam yells at Lance. He smirks and walks to their room and got changed. Sam walks in moments later and tried to get changed as fast as he can. Lance laughs at his brother who was struggling to get his shirt off.

" Darse prisa. " Lance said and walks into the bathroom to finish getting ready. As soon as he was done he walks downstairs and grabs his bag. He took a poptart and walks out. Sam follows soon after, pissed that his brother didn't wait for him. Lance offers his other poptart to make up for it, he didn't want it. Lance shrugs it off and waits for the bus. Sam goes back to kicking a random rock around. Lance began to kick the rock away. Sam tried getting it back but Lance was good at keeping it away.

"Dammit Lance knock it off." Sam was sick of the game. Lance chuckles and kicks it far from both of them, hitting a tree in the distance.

"Goal!" Lance shouts in victory. Sam kicks Lance's leg. "OW! Son of a bitch!" Lance kicks Sam back. The bus pulls up during their fight, Lance and Sam walk on and begrudgingly sat next to each other. Sam looks at all the kids who were on the bus to see if he knew anyone, Lance stared outside again.

The rest of the ride was quiet. 

"Lance, Lance!" Pidge got the tall Cubans attention. Lance walks over to her and Hunk while his brother walked off to find his own friends. The group walks towards Lance's locker, he put his bag in and started to arrange his books.

"So did you hear about the new game on the 3DS?" Pidge asks Hunk. Hunk only rolled his eyes and pulled his phone out.

"Is it that "Echos" remake game?" Hunk asks. Pidge nods aggressively. "Pidge why are you freaking out over another Fire Emblem game?"

"You know I love the RPG genre." She said. "I mean remember when Sun and Moon came out? I pre ordered it a month early and skipped school to get my own copy." Pidge looks over at Lance. "Do you play?"

"Um... I've played Pokemon." Lance said.

"Ha!" Pidge points at Hunk.

"But what's Fire Emblem?" That question had Pidge gasping.

"You've never heard of Fire Emblem?!" She asked. Lance nods and pulled his history book out. "You HAVE a 3DS right?" He nods again. Pidge pulls out a game case and flips through, she hands Lance a copy of Awakening. "This is one you have to play. Like HAVE to play!"

"Um... okay?" Lance took it. He puts it in his bag.

"You need to play that all the way through! ALL THE WAY!" Pidge said. "Then you'll understand why I'm freaking out. Unlike SOME PEOPLE." She looks at Hunk who only gave her a look.
