Rebecca in the Middle: A Malcolm in the Middle Love Story

Chapter 11: Cheerleader

I was a guest singer for Caroline's Kreyboyne class and I was having a solo. We did an acapella version of "Kaleidoscope Heart" by Sara Bareilles.

"Alright, class. Recess is over, and Becky thank you for coming as our guest soloist." Smiled, Caroline. "You're welcome, it was my pleasure to sing with these wonderful kids." I said, happily. The Kreylboyne's clapped. Everyone was sad that recess was over. Then, Malcolm came in.

"Malcolm?" Asked, Caroline. "I think you should say something to your classmates, since they stayed inside, while you decided to play ball instead. With your friends." Everyone was giving him a mad face. "Thanks." Smiled, Malcolm.

Next Day.....

I woke up and heard my alarm clock ring with the song "These Words" by Natasha Bedingfield. I was smiling and ready to go to school, I was singing til I got to the bathroom and this happened.

The bathtub was used, someone used floss, Q-Tips, with styling gel, along with trim scissors, mouth wash, and Reese wearing a nice shirt, and khakis, combing his hair making it nice.

"Good morning, Becky Boo. How was your sleep?" Smiled, Reese. "Great, good morning to you too, Reese. You look very nice and stylish." I smiled. "Thanks." Smiled, Reese. "What's going on? You never dressed like this before." I said. "Yeah, I took a shower that's all." Shyly, Reese.

"It's fine, it's good to look fresh in the morning." I smiled. Wow, he looks very clean and dapper. I like it. :) "So, you just dressed like this for no reason then?" I asked, curiously. "Well, can I tell you something?" He asked. "Sure, anything." I said. "Well, Becky. You see I--." He got cut off and went back to combing his hair, when Malcolm came in.

"What are you doing?" Asked, Malcolm, surprised. "Nothing." Shrugged, Reese. "You look different." Weirded out, Malcolm. "I took a shower!" Sternly, Reese. "I knew it!" Suddenly, Reese. "Yeah, is there a problem, with it? Malcolm." I said.

"No. Is just that he never dressed like this." Said, Malcolm. "Well, I like it. Reese you look great and stuff. Keep it up." I smiled, happily. "Thanks, Becky. You're the best." Smiled, Reese.

I got changed and I was wearing a Peter Pan collar top, with chino shorts, and loafers. My hair was in a long braid. I walked into breakfast and saw Dewey on the couch watching tv.

"Good morning, my wonderful family!" I said, happily. "Good morning, our wonderful superstar." Said, mom. "Good morning, to our little princess." Said, dad. I smiled, I saw Reese came in. Everyone except me gave him a weird stare.

He stopped eating. "What? I took a shower, is that a crime?" Angrily, Reese. "Reese, is this gonna be a daily thing cause we have a sch--." Said, mom and got cut off from dad. "Honey, let me handle this." Said, dad. "Son, are you on drugs?"

"No, it's just. Why doesn't everyone leave me alone?!?!" Yelled, Reese. He left the dinner table. "What's wrong with him?" Asked, mom. "Do you know, Becky?" Asked dad. "Why you ask me, dad?" I asked. "Because, you're the only one who can get to Reese." Said, mom. "Maybe, he's just following my fashion tips." I said. "That's all." They all nodded. I walked to the couch.

"Hey, Dewey. What are you watching?" I asked. I saw the screen and it was a blue elephant. Yep, he wants a Herbie. An elephant plush toy that's super big now in the toy industry. "Oh, ok." I smiled. "You want that toy, Dewey?" "Yeah. I'm gonna ask mom and dad." Said, Dewey.

"Can you buy me a Herbie?" Asked, mom to dad. "No, they're too expensive." Said, mom. "Can you buy me a Herbie, please?" Pleaded, Dewey. "Didn't you just hear me? I said, no." Said, mom. "Ok." Said, Dewey. "Nice try, buddy. I got to go to school." I said. I waved bye to Dewey and went off to school.
