Atem wasn't lying when he said that my brother was coming... fast. He was literally at my place right before I went to work the day after Atem told me he was coming.

     "Mayaleena," he called the second I walked in from work.

     I wanted to roll my eyes but didn't because I knew he was gonna take my side. He just wanted to discipline me.

     "What on earth do you think you're doing?"

     "I didn't do anything, Marv."

     Marv groaned and practically didn't notice Atem leave from behind me and walk towards his room, "I know you didn't, May, but you could have at least tried to be nice."

     "I said don't worry about it."

     Knowing Marv, he probably told our dad something along the lines of 'if you don't be nice to May, I'm going to switch to trying to get a PhD.'

     Secretly, Marv did really want to continue his education and get a PhD... but instead he threw aside his own desires to make my parents happy.
