12: Thanksgiving

I heard my phone ring just as I was done with my breakfast.

"Hello"

"Hey, Kyr! Open up, I'm at your door."

"Kyle? Did you change your number?"

"Yep!
My phone fell off from the roof of a building..."

"Wha-", I was out of words as I opened the door to find my brother facing me.

"That's right", he said through the phone and to my face.

"Just how do you manage to do stuff like that?"
I hung up the call and asked him.

"I just do... That's why I couldn't call you in a while, I needed to buy a new phone, plus I was busy"

"Well, at least you're here now.
Did you have breakfast?"

"Yeah, you?"

"Yes"

"Alright, get ready, we're hanging out today. Go get dressed"

"Are we? But I didn't really wanna go out today, I was hoping I could stay home"

"That's what you always do. It's thanksgiving. Since mom and dad are not here, you're spending today with me. Now go..."

I went to my room and randomly picked out a costume.

I looked at the mirror and figured I should get a haircut.
My hair has gotten long, and I kinda preferred short hair.
I combed my hair for a bit and came out.

"That was quick-", Kyle looked at me, "oh my god, your sense of clothes is as plain as ever! And you're a fashion student huh?!"

"I can walk around comfortably in these, and that's all I care about"

"Still, I need to get you some clothes today. Which I will"

"Whatever, let's go"

"Alright, come on."

We got in the car.

"Where to first?" I asked.

"I was thinking we could go see a movie first.
I heard my friends say there was an investigation movie, one where a suicide takes place in public but it actually was a murder.
Ahhh, but it's R rated, you can't watch it yet"

"What's it rated R for?"

"Violence and drug abuse"

"I was actually okay with violence..."

"... but rules are rules"

"Yeah.
But hey, why did you bring it up in front of me if I can't watch it?!"

"Hehe, just to see that annoyed face of yours?"

"..."

"I'm kidding dear, forget that. There are other films we could watch, we'll go there and find out"

"Nah, I'm not really in a mood for movies. Let's go somewhere else."

We went to an escape room, an art gallery and a restaurant for lunch.
It had been a while since I last spent so much time with him, I was glad I came.

I got a chin length bob haircut though Kyle thought I looked more "mature" with longer hair.

We then went to a clothing store where he bought me a few outfits.
