Chapter 2
Derreck pov
I laughed as my 7 year old little sister tried to make an icecream sundae, but failed miserably since she wasnt strong enough to scoop up the almost frozen ice cream.
“Alright Abby, i’ll do the rest of the work for you. Just go set up the movie you want to watch and hurry up to put it in the dvd player if you want to finish it before your bedtime,” i said, my backside towards her as i took the icecream scoop that was in her hand a second ago. I heard footsteps running through the house and disappear into the living room. I shook my head as i dumped more than half of the icecream bucket into Abby’s bowl and left just enough for myself. She was always a greedy girl, it was best not to get in her way. With an amused smile caused by my thoughts, i threw the bucket in the trash can and took the bowls into the living room, setting the fuller one in front of Abby. “There you go little miss.”
“Thanks Ricky!” Abby exclaimed as she wrapped her tiny arms around my neck while i was still crouched. I still didn’t understand why she called my ‘Ricky.’ I guess it was because the ending of my name was ‘Reck’ and she had somehow made the connection to ‘Ricky.” I took my seat and leaned into the cushions while Abby climbed onto my lap, setting her head on my shoulder and giving me an innocent smile as the dvd menu appeared.
“You put ‘Ice Age’ on, didn’t you?” i asked Abby. She threw me a toothy grin and took my cheeks into her palms.
“Aww Derreck! You know that I just love this movie! I may make you watch it every week-twice a week- but that doesn’t mean i’ll ever get tired of it! Please watch it with me!! Pleeeeaaaaaaaaa-”She was cut off by my hand covering her mouth. I rolled my eyes, but anyone could see that i was happy to be with my sister, even if it meant watching the same movie every week. I smiled at Abby, giving her my approval.
We sat through the rest of the movie, but I wasn’t really paying attention. I was thinking about school tomorrow. Since it was the weekend, i had spent most of my weekend with Drake and Xavier-my best friends-fooling around at some parties and just at my house. They were practically my brothers, considering they hung at my house so much. My parents were always okay with this, they were extremely cool for rich parents. I felt a little guilty that i didn’t do well in school to make them proud of me. In school i’m always dropping my grades to a ‘D’ average just to keep up with my reputation. If i actually tried, i know i could get A’s and B’s in all my classes, but that’s just the thing. I don’t try. At Rose Town Highschool i was the ‘BadBoy’ as all the girls liked to call me. But to me, i was just a normal 18 year old senior attending the school, but some how along the way i was deemed the title just because of the way i dressed, my motorcycle, and the fact that i was never interested at girls throwing themselves at me and me rejecting them. It somehow dawned on people that i was this ‘Bad Ass’ guy and after that girls were even more all over me and guys thought they could some how become my friends and be cool. Either way, i didn’t really mind. I still didn’t hook up with any girls, because I could always tell right away that they weren’t even close to girlfriend material. Let alone my future wife.
By the time the movie had ended, Abby was close to passing out, so i gave her a piggy back ride up to her room and set her onto her bed. I tucked her in and kissed her forehead, then i made my way to my room and decided to get some shut eye-considering i never got enough sleep for Monday mornings. Plus, every morning i always headed to my indoor gym-hey, don’t judge. i told you i was rich, meaning i could afford to have a gym for myself in my house-at five a.m.ish and then headed to school. I sighed in content as my head hit the pillows. In a matter of seconds, i was consumed by darkness.
