Not A Love Story

      Once upon a time there were two brothers. They were three years apart and were both very different. The oldest boy's name was Daniel and he was an average boy. Then there was his youngest brother Toby and Toby was a brilliant boy. It was there birthday Daniel was turning seventeen and Toby was turning fourteen. Daniel loved his brother very much but at times he found himself hating his little brother. Toby too loved his older brother but he too sometimes dislikes his brother.


"How come you get to cut the cake first," Toby whined.


"Because I was born first so I get to cut the cake first," Daniel said with a grin on his face.


"You also cut the cheese first to," Toby came back at his brother.


      Their mother moved towards both of them and snatched the knife out of Daniels hand and said,
"If you can't play nice then no one get's to cut anything."


      After that fiasco the boys ate their cake and went to bed. In the morning the boys started their day like every other.


"MOM TOBY IS TAKING FOREVER IN THE BATHROOM AND HE LOCKED THE DOOR," Daniel yelled.


"TOBY GET OUT OF THE BATHROOM SO YOUR BROTHER CAN GET IN," their mother yelled from the kitchen.


"Why most I live in a house full of screaming banshees," Toby asks himself in the mirror.


      Daniel began to bang on the door yelling for his brother to get out. Toby just sat there staring in the mirror wondering what life would be like if he hadn't been born into this family. Finally Daniel had had enough of Toby's nonsense and started throwing his body at the door. Toby took advantage of this and waited for him to throw himself another time and swung the door open. Daniel crashed to the floor and Toby let out a booming laugh.


"TOBY," Toby looked up to see his mother standing in front of the doorway red hot. "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU JUST DID THAT AND YOU'R SUPPOSE TO BE THE SMART ONE."


      Daniel saw what was happening and decided to milk the situation. So he began to cry like a new born baby. His mother made Toby get out of the bathroom and went to tend to Daniel.


"You know your her favorite right," Toby whispered to Daniel in the back of the car.


"No mom just likes me more then you," Daniel sang under his breath.


"You're such an idiot," Toby said rolling his eyes.


      Finally they made it to the front of the school. The boys began to get out of the car when there mother waved Toby to stay in the car.


"I don't have favorites," his mother said.


"What," Toby asked.


"I know you think that Daniel is my favorite but the truth is your my favorite," she said.


"Mom stop playing," Toby said.


"I'm serious if you hadn't been born I don't know that I would of done," she said. His mother leaned over the front seat and gave him a kiss on head. Then she leaned back into her seat and waved him out of the car.


      After school the boys had to walk home because their mother was running late. All the way there they argued. When it came time for dinner Daniel still was upset about it.


"Why wont you help me brainiac," Daniel spurted out.


"What's going on," their mother asked.


"This guy," Daniel points at Toby, "thinks he's to good to help me. We both have the same Chemistry class and he wont help me."


      Their mother looked at Toby with the 'Why wont you help your brother' look.


"Oh, come on tell her the truth," Toby began, "He doesn't want me to really help him he wants me to help him and his lab partner."


"Why can't you help them," his mother asked.


"Because it's not fair to me I have to take time out of my day to go help dumb and dumber," Toby tried to explain, but his mother didn't want to here any of it.


"You will help the both of them for all I care you can help the whole class if that's how your going to be," his mother said getting up from the table and leaving the room.


      The next day after school Toby was helping Daniel and Stacy. (Stacy is Daniels lab partner if you didn't get it.)
