Phoenix High- Slymau

Chapter 14

Aphmau's POV

Castor and I met up at the front of the school. We had both agreed to go get the boys from their school. We had developed a schedule. One of us would take them to school for a week then switch, but both of us would get them in the afternoon. The two of us began walking towards Phoniex Elementary, where the boys went to school. It took a little while since it was a good ten-minute walk from the high school.

"Hey, Aph," Cas spoke up, "what are we going to do about our new friends?"

The question caught me off guard, something that was rare to do, "Cas, this is our chance at a new life! We can make an attempt to cover up what happened to th-the..." I trailed off, not able to bring myself to say their name. Our name. We had come up with it together.

Castor, obviously seeing my crack, switched the subject, "What do you want to do when we get home? I mean it'll be kinda boring to just sit and stare at 4 walls for hours.

I thought this over, "Maybe we can host a par-" I was cut off by my phone. I looked down to see the Caller I.D. All it said was Brownie. Well, looks like Brownie wants something, I look over at Castor, he seems to understand that I want to answer the call and keeps quiet.

"Hello?" I say into the phone.

"Aph!" I hear Brownie's voice over the phone, "Garroth's hosting a slumber party! He doesn't have your number though and I didn't want you mulling over who was calling you. Are you coming? It's tonight!" How sweet.

"Uh, hu. Well, thank you, Brownie. I think my brothers and I will be attending."

"Huh?" I hear the confusion in his voice, "Brothers? I thought Castor was your only brother."

"Look, I have two younger brothers. Our parents are out of town so if Castor and I are going, they are too."

He sighs, I hear the phone being handed off to someone else. I suddenly hear a British voice, "Aph! Laurence told me you're bringing your younger brothers?"

"Yeah, my parents are out of town. There's no one to watch them if Castor and I come over."

"Well, I'm sure that everyone will enjoy two little boys running around the whole time, I'm fine with you bringing them."

"Thanks, Blondie! I'll be there at, say, 8?"

"Sure! See you in a few hours, Aph!"
