Levi's P.O.V.

Today is Monday and since we're suspended, we aren't at school. So Parker, Bradley and Rhett went to the mall and I was home alone since dad and Val were working. I was sitting in the living room when Rhett walked in the front door.

"Levi, Levi Bevi 
Banana Fana Fo Fevi
Fee Fi Mo Mevi!
Levi!" He sang coming into the living room.

I laughed and said
"Rhett, Rhett, Bo-ett 
Banana fana Fo Fett
Fee Fi Mo Mett!
Rhett!"

He laughed and asked "You know that song?"
"Yeah. I used to listen to it all the time." I answered.

"Bradley Bradley Bo-adley,
Banana Fana Fo Fradley
Fee Fi Mo Mradley!
Bradley!" I said as Bradley walked through the door.
Bradley looked over at me and laughed.
"You're such a dork." He smiled.
I rolled my eyes at him and Parker came through the door.

"Parker, Parker Barker,
Banana Fana Fo Farker,
Fee Fi Mo Marker!
Parker!" Rhett said.
Parker laughed a little and went upstairs.

"So Leo, what do you want for your birthday?" Bradley asked.
"Nothing. I already have enough." I answered.
"Oh come on, Lee. You must want something." Rhett said.
"I assure you I don't want anything." I replied.

"I know you want something for your birthday. Don't make me get Parker to get it out of you." Bradley told me.
"Get Parker to what?" Parker asked walking down the stairs.
"Levi won't tell us what he wants for his birthday and I told him if he doesn't tell us I'll get you to get it out of him." Bradley answered.

"Oh. Okay. So what do you want for your birthday?" Parker asked me.
"Like I told them, I don't want anything nor do I need anything." I answered.
"You know he's gonna get it out of you, right?" Rhett asked me.
"There is nothing to get. I just don't want anything." I answered.

"Yeah, not happening." Parker said coming over to me. He grabbed my feet and held me upside down by my ankles.
"What do you want for your birthday?" He asked.
"Nothing." I answered.
He pretended to drop me and I screamed. They laughed and Parker said "I'll drop you if you don't tell us."
He did it again and I screamed.
"Don't make me get Scout to lick your face." Bradley said.

"I don't want anything." I answered.
"Scout! Come here!" Parker called.
Scout came into the room and Bradley said "Get him Scout."
Scout came over to me and started licking my face.
I tried pushing Scout away but he kept licking my face.

"Still won't tell us?" Rhett asked.
I shook my head and kept trying to push Scout away.
"Okay." Rhett sighed and started poking my sides.
I burst out laughing and begged Rhett to stop.
"I'll stop if you tell us what you want." He told me.
He started tickling my neck and I shrieked.

"Okay. I'll tell you." I laughed.
He stopped and said "Good Boy Scout. Go lay down"
Scout stopped licking my face and went out of the room.

Parker set me down on the couch and I said "All I want for my birthday is superhero comic books."

They all groaned and Bradley said "Seriously? That's all you want? We went through all of that just for you to say superhero comic books?"

"He's a geek. What do you expect?" Parker said.
"I prefer Intellectual Badass." I replied.
They laughed and Bradley said "But seriously. What do you like?"
"I like Star Wars, Disney, Guns N' Roses, The LA Dodgers thanks to Rhett, The Winnipeg Jets, The San Jose Sharks and Video Games." I told him.

"Okay. Thanks." Bradley said typing it into his phone.
"You don't have to get me anything. I don't need it." I told him.
"Shut up! We're getting you a gift and that's final." He laughed.
I sighed knowing not to argue with them and turned on the TV.

"Wait, you like Guns N' Roses?" Parker asked.
"Yeah. Why?" I answered.
"No reason. You just don't look like you would like them since you don't like the music we play in the car." Parker replied.
"Well yeah because it's rap and subsets trash. I only like Rock and Roll and old songs by Frank Sinatra." I said.
He nodded and grabbed the remote from me.

"Hey! I was watching that!" I said trying to take the remote back.
He stood up and extended his arm out fully so there was no way in hell I could reach it.

"If you want it, come get it." He taunted. I sighed and stood on the couch. I reached for it and he still wasn't tall enough.
I tried grabbing his arm and he didn't move it.
I grabbed onto his arm and tried pulling it down.
He didn't move his arm so I put all my body weight on it  and he still didn't move his arm.
He backed up trying to get me to fall off the couch but I hung onto his arm for dear life.
I brought my knees up to my chest so I was hanging on his arm and he laughed.
"Levi, you weigh nothing. It's not gonna work." Bradley said coming over to us.

Bradley took me off of Parker's arm and threw me on the couch.
I screamed as I landed next to Rhett and he laughed along with the twins.

I huffed and sat up. Parker changed the channel to the hockey game.
"Sweet! The Jets against the Leafs!" I exclaimed.
Parker laughed and kept it on the game.

The Jets scored and I said "Yes!"
Bradley laughed and said "If you get this pumped about hockey, why don't you play it?"
"I don't like playing it and I'd get knocked down. Oh, and I'm not good at it." I replied.

"But you can put up quite a fight." Parker laughed.
"Dude, look at my eye. I don't think so." I said.
They laughed and Parker told me "Fighting isn't just punching. You can push them."
"I can't knock over a chair let alone a human being." I replied.

" Dude, I bet you could knock me over." Parker said.
"Parker, you are twice my height and like three times my body weight." I told him.
"Doesn't mean you can't try." He said.
I got up and so did he.
I went over to him and tried to push him over. He didn't move like I suspected and I got an idea.

I put my left foot behind his right foot and pushed him backwards.
He fell to the ground and I covered my mouth with my hand.

"Are you okay? I'm sorry. I didn't mean to." I apologized.
"I'm fine, Lee. I play football, remember? I take hits harder than that." He said standing up.

"But hey, good job." He said fist bumping me.
I smiled lightly and sat on the couch.
I didn't realize I sat on Bradley until he shoved me off.
"Sorry. Didn't look behind me." I said.
"It's fine. Didn't hurt. You only weigh two pounds anyway." He replied.

I went back over to where I was sitting when before and payed down since nobody was near me besides Rhett. He was on my right so I had lots of couch space to myself.
I relaxed and watched the hockey game.
