Seeing how his father disagreed, Juan decided not to bring his mother up again as it would only make his father hate her even more.
I guess it’s time to think of another way to bring daddy and mommy together.
Even after a moment of silence, Juan did not give Evan a definite answer, so Evan gave him a day to think about it.
On the other side, Kyle went home with Nicole who thought that he was Juan.
To avoid detection, Kyle tried to be as lively as he could. He even tried to smile more whenever he was talking.
Because of Maya and Nina’s chattering, Nicole did not pay too much attention to Kyle. That was also because ‘Juan’ was usually the one who worried Nicole the least.
After lunch, Nicole sent ‘Juan’, Maya, and Nina back to their kindergarten, where the teacher had the students practice their hands-on ability.
It was a walk in the park for Kyle who got pretty good at playing Lego. In just a short while, he managed to build all kinds of sports cars and even a picture of his daddy and mommy.
Maya could not help but be amazed at his work, “You’re awesome, Juan!”
Lowering his head to snicker, Kyle wondered if he was so good at pretending to be Juan that even Maya did not notice anything wrong.
Nina was also surprised by how much faster ‘Juan’ got at building Lego and wondered when he learned to do that.
What was more surprising was the fact that he built people and sports cars instead of the robots that Juan liked so much.
In the end, ‘Juan’ won the first place in class and was rewarded with a small, red-colored flower and a box of cranberry-flavored cookies.
Greedy little Maya licked her lips as she stared at the box of cookies, “That box of cookies is delicious. Mommy’s got us one before.”
Noticing how his sister was preying on his cookies, Kyle smiled softly as he generously gave it to her, “Here, this is for you!”
Maya excitedly accepted the cookies, “You’re the best, Juan! The best brother in the world!”
Even though he was not actually Juan, Kyle felt great about being called ‘the best brother in the world’ nonetheless.
Just when Maya was about to start eating after tearing the box open, Nina approached ‘Juan’ holding her arms, “Can we share the cookies? It’s not good for Maya to have too much sugar. She’s already fat enough. A fat girl!”
“I am not! Not a fat girl!” defended Maya before rolling her eyes at Nina.
Pouting, Nina continued to stare at Maya, “Said the meatball!”
“You… You’re the meatball! You’re a meanie and a jerk… and… and you’re…”
Maya was getting frustrated that she was at a loss for words.
Seeing his sisters fighting, Kyle frowned at the thought of how unworthy it was to fight over a box of cookies, so he had an idea, “You two can share this box for now. I’ll get you guys more when we get home.”
At first, Maya was still a little reluctant to share. She only decided to hand the cookies over when she was told that they could get more.
The two started to divide the cookies piece by piece but found the last piece to be extra. While Kyle was scratching his head over the extra piece, Maya suddenly grabbed it and split it into two uneven halves. She then quickly ate the bigger half before gleefully handing the smaller one to Nina.
Ignoring Maya’s ‘generosity’, Nina gave her a look before handing out her portion of the cookies to the other kids.
Those who were given cookies happily shared their own snacks with Nina who also shared them with ‘Juan’.
Kyle was very happy to see the snacks given by the other kids.
Seeing how all the others are sharing, Maya decided to share her cookies too, and she got the biggest candy for it.
She wanted to give the candy to Kyle, which made him even happier, but he put it into Maya’s mouth instead.
“This candy is so sweet! Thank you!” Maya showed her appreciation with her widest grin.
At that moment, Kyle realized how much he envied Juan for being surrounded by two adorable sisters and so many friendly classmates.
How Kyle wished to stay as ‘Juan’ forever and never go back to Grant Kindergarten.
