#atticus fraser

Only one kid ended up dropping by, and Lainey latched onto him as soon as she noticed him walking around.

Despite being a little gremlin child with 1 nice point, Lainey actually got along pretty well with Atticus Fraser.

His 10 nice points were probably leveling the playing field quite a bit, let's be honest.

Uh oh!

Atty is the complete opposite of his older brother when it comes to school and grades. While Ozzy always maintained pretty good grades, Atty came home today with a D+... and a destroyed fun need.

It's a little weird, considering Atty is just as serious (and more active) than Ozzy.

I guess it's time for some recreation before tackling homework...

Atticus was feeling a little guilty for causing his mother's big emotional breakdown, but not enough to pause his gaming session quite yet.

He was so close to winning!

He did end up going to his room to do some of his homework, but he barely got halfway through when he started to complain about his needs again.

Urgh. Kids.

Rigel decided he didn't want to keep entertaining Atticus anymore.

"I'm tired. You should probably go," he said with a shrug, not even remotely apologetic. After all, Iris was the one that invited him originally, not him.

"Fine, suit yourself," Atticus sighed. "I was getting bored anyway."

Rigel wasn't making up an excuse, he really was tired. It was only 5PM, but his energy bar was so far down, he just couldn't stay up any longer.

Atticus came over to play with Iris, but she went to take a much-needed nap, and Rigel took over as playdate host.

"Planes are the coolest mode of transportation," Rigel said. "What do you think?"

"No way! Trains are totally better!" Atticus argued back.

"Why? Trains are lame! You can't go as far, and it takes forever!" Rigel grumbled.

"Whatever, it doesn't matter," Atticus sighed. "We can't leave the 'Hood without getting our files corrupted."

Safe to say, the two boys weren't getting along very well.

All of the kids were in terrible moods, and no amount of dancing was going to fix that for them.

"This isn't doing it for me!" Alma groaned.

At least it was Friday, meaning they had a whole weekend ahead of them to do their own thing and recover.

Maybe their parents would let them visit the Community Center. There were a lot more activities to do there, not just dancing to some cheap radio.

Since Atticus' biggest issue in life at the moment was his boredom, Rue decided to get him a cheap radio to dance to.

His favorite hobby was Music & Dance, so he was bound to make good use of it.

And maybe he could stay on top of his homework moving forward.

On the bright side, Atticus was no longer a D+ student. C- wasn't that much better, but at least it'd keep the school counselor from contacting social services.

He really was trying to do better!

It wasn't his fault he was constantly stressed and too miserable to do homework!
