New Phone

I want to say that things were smooth-sailing after Kyle's apology, but that'd make me a liar. I didn't have a problem with Kyle being upset with me, but it felt like his brothers did. They may have defended him when he wasn't present at the kitchen table, but it was still a relatively cold atmosphere while shopping. 

Noah and I paired together like always, while Dave had bugged Zeke about baseball stuff. I felt uncomfortable pushing Kyle out of his own family, and was afraid that he would think the same. Luckily, Mr. Atkins was there to talk to him. Though, most of it sounded like a lecture on his attitude. 

We had a somewhat early lunch before heading home. Mrs. Atkins came out of the office room once she heard us making a racket as we came in the house. 

"Looks like you all had a successful trip." She smiled happily at the bags in our hands. "Jake, did you get a phone?"

I nodded.
