Brother [ Creative Post Challenge ]

I have two brothers, one older than me and a younger one.

With my youngest brother I just share my mother as parent, which he didn’t get to know, so we were raised in different houses and consequently we don't have many stories together, but with my oldest brother we’ve been together our whole life.

Bruno was always a very naughty boy, quite mean sometimes, either fighting or just pranking me.

I remember he used to give me a not connected Nintendo consoler, so I could fake play with him. But this far the most horrible thing he has done to me.

I remember we use to study in a school a bit far from home, and back then we would have to either take a bus or walk for 30min to get home.

My mom would give us money or tickets to take the bus. In the money days he would be in charge of keeping it and now and then he would buy candies with this money in a candy store in front of school, this way we had to figure it out how to get home.

So Bruno would instruct me to ask for money in the streets, yes, just like that. “Say you don’t have money to go home, people will help you”. And I would ask, sometimes they would, sometimes they wouldn’t help.

In the days we didn't get anything, we would go home walking, and to punish me he would pick a way where there was a school with special need kids. I know there’s absolutely nothing wrong in a special need school, but he would terrify me saying the teachers would catch me and put me in that school and I would never see mom again. I still remember he saying “I’m gonna call the teachers…”.

Other days he would bargain the way home, if I didn’t want him to pass in from of that school, I’d have to bring his heavy backpack all the way to our house without complaining. He was quite mean, a little devil!

Honestly, he was mean to me his whole childhood and adolescence, things just got better when he was around 17, 18. But then I was smart enough to him.

Nowadays we just remember these stories with humour. I believe these things happen to every siblings. We are now good friends and he is the most loving brother in the world, always by my side no matter what. In other words, we are best friends.
