We drove home and I ran upstairs. I took off my shirt and turned on my computer. It was really hot in my room even though it's November so I didn't bother putting another shirt on.
I went on Steam and video chatted James. We started playing the game I chose and it was called "Road Redemption."
Two hours later...
I was watching YouTube videos since I finished playing Road Redemption with James and he had to eat. Parker came into my room and over to me. "Dinner's ready." He told me. "Okay." I replied. I grabbed a new t-shirt out of drawer and walked downstairs. I stood in the living room and was about to put it on when Rhett poked my side. I laughed and he stopped. I put my shirt on and walked into the kitchen. I sat down at the table and started eating the chicken that Val made.
After I was done eating, I went back upstairs and went over to my computer. I shut it down and turned on my TV. I started watching family guy and was half way through the episode when Bradley came into my room.
"Come downstairs." He told me. "Okay." I replied getting up. I walked downstairs with him and sat on the couch. Scout came over to me and sat down beside me.
"So since tomorrow is your birthday, you can open one small present now. But only one." Val told me as she sat next to dad. "Okay." I said. There were about 4 small boxes and I picked the one on the right. I sat down and read the tag. "Who's it from?" Val asked. "Parker." I answered. "I can't open it yet. He's not down here." I added. "Rhett go get him please." Val said. Rhett got up and ran upstairs.
Two minutes later he came down with Parker and Parker sat down beside me. I opened it and gasped. It was the Gizmoduck from the Disney Pop! Collection.

"This is awesome! Thank you. This came out like last week! How did you get it?" I asked him side hugging him. "When we went to the mall on Monday we found it. They just got them at the store and were putting them on the shelf when I grabbed one." He answered side hugging me back. "I've waited months for this." I told him. "I know. I heard you talking to James about it at school." He said.
"Thank you. I really like it." I said. "You're welcome. Now go put it on your shelf." He told me. I ran upstairs and put it on my shelf with the rest of my collection. I didn't take it out of the box since I didn't want to ruin it. Most of mine are out of the boxes but some of them that don't stand up on their own are in their boxes.
I went back downstairs and everybody was on the couch. "Lee it's almost eleven. I want you to go to bed." He said. "Okay. Goodnight." I told them. "Goodnight." They said back. I went upstairs and into my room.
I was reading my book and after an hour, Rhett came in my room. "Shouldn't you be asleep?" He asked. "Yeah. But I'm finishing my book." I answered. "Lee, it's almost midnight. You should get some sleep." He said. "Fine. But why did you come in here? Your room is down the hall." I asked. "I saw your lamp on and talked to Parker for awhile." He answered.
"Oh. Cool. Well goodnight." I said. "Goodnight, kid." He replied. "I'm not a kid. I'm thirteen. I'm a teenager." I protested. "Anybody who is younger than me is still a kid. Therefore, you're a kid. Even if you're turning fourteen tomorrow." He smirked getting up. "Whatever." I sighed and he laughed. He walked out of my room and shut the door.
