Semua Bab My Brother From Another Universe: Bab 1 - Bab 10

I'm so excited to try out my latest invention which I've just finished working on and modifying. I've been working on it for the past eight months and now it's finally done, I can't wait to test run it and see how well it works. No one thinks I can pull this off, not even my parents and especially not my sister, Aimee. She's just twelve minutes older than me but acts like she's twelve years older than me. They all think I'm wasting my time but I'm gonna show them, I'm gonna show them all.  "You still on this shit?" Aimee asks as she comes into my room. Here we go.  "She's a full grown invention now, so address her with some respect okay," I say, raising my voice a little. Just a little. How dare she call my invention a 'shit'.  "Why don't you just give it a break? You've been on that thing for months." "Did Thomas Edison give it a break when he invented the first light bulb after so ma

The lab is free when I get there so I introduce our fairly fun chemistry teacher, Mr. Trainor, and Travis to one another and explain to him how Travis got here. After Mr. Trainor is done hugging, congratulating and praising me, I help arrange the lab and put all the stray equipment in their rightful places— one of the reasons Mr. Trainor loves having me around, asides from the fact that he needs someone to talk to since he doesn't have any friends his age and lives with his problematic mother and pet, Billy the fat rat, whom he takes everywhere with him, even work. This is why he encourages me to stop by whenever I have a free period so he can feed me wisdom nuggets while watching me do his job of putting the lab in order. I wave hi to Billy who is casually munching on a cracker. It's against the rules to bring pets to work, but somehow Mr. Trainor gets away with it. Despite being socially apathetic, the man is an amazing teacher, a caring pet owner and ha

As soon as Travis and I enter the school building, it seems as if a celebrity walked in. Everyone turns to stare at us and some even start whispering to one another. I have never felt so self-conscious my entire life. Is this what it feels like to have the spotlight on you?Some girls passing by giggle and wink at Travis and I'm certain he was the one that caught everyone's attention earlier. It's easy to become popular in this school when you're that hot, though I'm pretty sure Travis' personality makes up for his sudden popularity as well. I'm not saying I'm not good looking or that I'm boring, it's just that the super hot, chiseled appearance is more favored than plain good looks and the people prefer someone that is extra to someone that is ordinary, so...Travis stays closely to my side as we make our way to our lockers- his is just two lockers away from mine. I spot Chris walking towards us sporting what I believe is a smile. How nice of him to stop by. Note the sarcasm."Avan,

"Done! And with four hours, twenty minutes to spare," I say as soon as I'm done fixing my invention and heave a huge sigh of relief. I have never felt so fulfilled my entire life. I now had the chance to participate and win in the contest. And even if I do not win, it's still a huge win for me because my invention would be made known to the world and I would also get to become a recognized inventor thereby becoming a member of the IAI. It's almost like a dream come true."That's great! I'm happy for you friend," Travis says and shakes my hand."And I'm so happy I'm finally back on track to compete at one of the two biggest inventing competitions in the world!" I exclaim."What is the other big inventing contest?" Travis asks."The Global Inventors Contest of course, but it's for adults above twenty which is why they introduced the Global Young Inventors Contest for teenagers," I explain."So what is the grand prize for winning this contest?""Well, there's the huge cash prize of a mil

"I've been looking all over for you," Austin says as she walks towards us.Did she really have to come here now of all times? This was the one chance I had and she just ruined it."Are you okay?" She asks Wyndy."I'm fine. Avan's been keeping me company while you hang out with your boyfriend."Austin groans. "I am so sorry Wyn.""It's fine, he's been great company," Wyndy says and I smile."What are you guys doing back here? The party's inside.""We just wanted to get some fresh air, the party was getting a little stuffy. Why were you looking for me?""We were just about to play a game of truth or dare and I thought it'd be fun if you joined us.""I'd love to!" Wyndy pipes up and at the same time jumps up from the bench. "Come on, Avan, let's go!""Yeah, come on, loverboy," Austin says sarcastically as she and Wyndy go back into the house, giggling amongst themselves. I sigh and follow them in.♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪By the time we get back to the party, the s
