Bram's P.O.V.
I surprisingly wasn't woken up by Axel and I sat in my room.
I checked the time and it was 10 o'clock. Huh. Axel would have totally woken me up by now.
I went to his room and banged on his door. No answer.
I tried to open his door but it was locked.
When I went downstairs, Axel's shoes were at the front door.
That's weird. If he's home, why isn't he in his room or the living room?
I went to the kitchen to make myself breakfast and he wasn't in there either.
I looked outside and he wasn't out there either.
I made myself two PopTarts and since I'm so used to Axel stealing part of my food, I only ate one of them.
My phone buzzed and I got a notification that a few people wanted me to cut their grass today. Best part is that they all have huge lawns so if I cut their front and back lawns, I get 40 dollars per customer.
Hell yeah! Bram's getting paid!
I quickly got ready and walked to the first customer's house.
Four hours later...
I just got home from cutting grass and I cut four people's front and back lawns, so I made 160 bucks. One of the customers asked me if I could pick all the weeds from their driveway and garden and gave me an extra 15 bucks, so I technically made $175.
I walked home and put all my money away, then I took a long shower.
I'm not telling my mom that I cut grass and since Axel still isn't home, he won't tell her.
The only reason that I'm not telling her is because I technically broke the rules of being grounded to do it.
I had just changed and Axel came into my room.
"Hey, my friends are staying over tonight. Don't bug us." He said.
"It's movie night. Will won't let you." I pointed out.
"Shit." He sighed.
"Well my friends are still coming over right now. Do you need these terribly put together dolls?" He asked me while pointing at the action figures that I tried to put back together.
"They're not dolls, Axel. They're collectible action figures. And no, I don't need them. Your asshole of a friend ruined them." I answered.
"Why are these collectibles?" He questioned.
"They were vintage." I replied.
"Oh. Well I'm gonna go blow them up with firecrackers." Axel said and took them off of my shelf.
Axel left my room and I went downstairs.
I got food and water from the kitchen and since Axel wasn't around, I stole his pizza from the fridge.
I brought everything back up to my room and locked my door.
I put the chair up against my door and put all my food and water on my desk.
I started playing video games and somebody tried to open my door.
"Open up!" I heard Axel's friend say.
"No. Go away, Asshole!" I replied.
"I know you ruined my shoes." He said.
"What?" I replied.
"You put gum on my shoes." He said.
"No I didn't. I was in my room trying to fix all of my action figures that you ruined. Then I went downstairs because my favourite show was on." I replied.
"You glued my shoelace to the bottom of my shoe." He said.
"I didn't do anything! Now leave me alone before I tell Will what you did. He won't let Axel have his friends over anymore. Axel will get mad at you for ruining that for him." I told his friend.
"Just be lucky I can't get to you. When I do, you're so dead." He said.
He didn't say anything else so he probably walked away.
I went back to playing video games and then I ate some of my food.
I ended up not eating Axel's food, but I have to wait until he leaves so I can put it back in the fridge.
"Nerd, open your door." Axel said.
"No." I replied.
"The longer you wait to open the door just means more time that you get beat up for." He said.
"You can't beat me up if I don't let you in." I pointed out.
"You can't stay in there forever." He said.
"Watch me." I retorted.
I stayed in my room and waited for a few more minutes and then Axel said "My friends and I are playing basketball at the park. "
I heard the front door shut and I went down to the kitchen then put Axel's pizza back in the fridge.
