-Hey Noah. -Ingrid answered the phone while making mac and cheese.
-How did it go?-she questioned obviously talking about visiting the doctor.
-Good, I should be able to play by the next week.-he lied. That's what he does when it's hard to accept the truth.
-That's great.-Ingrid muttered and then went silent.
-Ingrid? Are you still there?-Noah asked, not sure if Ingrid was still there.
Noah called few more times until she answered, -Yeah, sorry I got distracted. I need to go now,see you tomorrow?-She asked at last.
-Yeah, I will pick you up at usual time. Bye.-Noah stated and hang up the phone making Ingrid do the same.

8:36 PM

-Derrick, dinner is ready.-younger boy, almost identical to Derrick. It was his younger brother Gustavo.
-Mhm.-Derrick muttered, still focused on his Maths book and ignoring Gustavo's words. Gustavo rolled his eyes at Derrick then walked over to him.
-You could use a break.-he stated taking book away from Derrick. -Loser.-he added, it wouldn't be Gustavo if he didn't add an insult. He laughed a little and then left the room. Derrick sat for a minute before taking himself to the kitchen where they would eat. It wasn't big kitchen,so table was very small for five people to eat,but they weren't complaining.
-So how was everyone's day.-Elle spoke, his mother. 
-School was great today,-seven year old Piper answered, -I got a golden star for my paper on lizards.-she smiled, as bright as sun.
-I got an A for my History paper.-Gustavo talked about his day, and that was the only thing he had to say. You could see how proud his parents are.
Jack coughed, -What about you Derrick.-his dad stopped eating just to hear his answer.
-It was fine.-only words Derrick could have said. Hi killed all of 'proud' that was written on his parents' head. It was silent, he felt eyes on him so he looked up. His parents were just staring at him. -What?-he asked because he was annoyed with their looks.
-Nothing.-His dad, Jack,shrugged it off and contionued to eat. It was quiet for rest of the dinner.
-I'm done with eating.-Derrick got up and went to his room. He's the "stupid kid". His mum and dad are used with him being a failure, at least that's what he thinks he is. And it's hard when he has a brilliant younger brother, and a genious for her age,younger sister. He needs to study, a lot, to get an A, while for them it's easy. His dad is a doctor, he was amazing in school. He always had his hand in the air, he was teacher's pet and he was always right. His mum is a lawyer, she was also brilliant in school. She got a school award for her studies and grades. Looks like their first son isn't like them, he didn't get their minds. And sometimes he felt left out, it's even harder to study with dyslexia. Parents knew that,they didn't push him. They still can't believe how he isn't like them, smartest person. He sat and started reading Maths again. He finished his homework and then stared at the empty wall.
He got up when he heard his phone.
 
     Did you take my book from Biology? -Ruth
     Nope-Derrick
     Damn, I was hoping you did. I can't find it. -Ruth
     I think amelia took it, but idk tho-Derrick
     Anyways,wyd? -Ruth
     Nothing much,just did my homework, you? -Derrick
     You wanna go get fro-yo or coffe or something? I want to go out of this house asap. -Ruth
     Fro-yo sounds good, meet me there in 15? -Derrick
     See ya. -Ruth

He got up and walked over to his desk chair, that was more of a closet to him. He threw everything on the bed just to get his dark red jacket.
-I'm going out.-He mumbled while walking past the living room.
-Stop. Don't you know that you have to ask?-His dad walked up to him.
-No I don't, I'm eighteen. I am legally an adult.-Derrick denied and stated a fact.
-What is your problem with us Derrick!?-Jack was frustrated now, -You think you got us wrapped around your finger, don't you? Well you don't. Maybe you should stay home and study, because you sure need that!-he was barking while Derrick just stood there, -You're going to college next year, for God's sake Derrick! Where do you think you will go? Who would take you? They are looking for hard working students, wich you are not.-he stopped as he saw some tears in Derrick's eyes.
-I'm late.-Derrick hissed and went out, making sure he slams the door as hard as possible. He took his phone out of the pocket.
