YOU CAN’T PARK THAT HERE

Sunglasses on, roof down. One arm on the door, one on the wheel. B-Lo (real name Brandon Archibald Lowescroft-Smith) pulled up into the parking space in his pristine new (mini) Chevrolet. The chilled beats from the stereo added to his smooth vibe of cool.

‘Hey,’ he nonchalantly raised his plastic sunglasses onto his head and winked at Barbara May Sue, cartwheeling on the lawn.

‘Hey, B-Lo,’ she coquettishly waved back.

Loud squeaking broke the spell. Timmy sidled up in his walker, dribbling down his chocolate-stained face. He parked next to the Chevy and wiped a grotty hand on the paintwork.

‘Tah tah, ba ba, bee bee,’ Timmy gurgled.

Man, B-Lo hated his new little brother.

  3. Aw, love the budding romance between big bro and the girl nextdoor, but I get a nasty feeling she’ll think his brother is ‘cute’ and then the real drama begins!
