Rydel's Point Of View

I pick out a shirt with sleeves that has an Captain America sign, skinny jeans and pink converse. Even tough people say I'm pretty, people still bully me, but Riker doesn't know that. Speaking of Riker, he walks into my room and grabs me, "Riker!" I scream. "Shhhh." He says. I calm down once he wraps his arms around me. He kisses my cheek gently and whispers in my ear, "Breakfast is downstars, baby doll." I nod and snuggle into his neck, "Aaaw, aren't you just Riker's Little Girl?" He coos. Riker made that up one time, and I've always been his little girl, just like 'Daddy's Little Girl' I'm Riker's baby. "I don't wanna go to school, Riker. I wanna stay here." I whine. "Baby doll, it's your last year, it won't be bad, everybody's topic will be on how they can't wait to graduate." He points out. "Well, yeah. But then everybody will just be more daring and all that stuff, they can prank teachers and other students, and they'll just laugh along, and what if they prank me?" I ask. "Rydel, It'll be fine. If anybody hurts you their dead meat." He says serious, grabbing my hand and kissing it. I start playing with his neckalaces, I love doing that. "Baby doll, c'mon. I have to give you a ride." He tells me. I get up from his lap and sigh, he follows my actions. He looks at me with sympathy and cups my face with his hands, kissing my forhead, rubbing my back. "Awww, baby doll, you'll be fine. When you come back, I promise I'll cuddle with you how much you want. I promise." He tells me. I smile and grab my backpack. I go downstairs and sit down at the table. "Morning, Rydel." Everybody greeted. "Morning." I said. I started eating my pancakes with my orange juice. I went upstairs to brush my teeth. Once I finsished, I went back down the stairs, looking at Riker and nodded. He did the same and got up, grabbing his keys. Riker finished high school last year and the rest of my brothers are homeschooled. "Bye guys!" I said, they all waved. I get into Riker's car, putting my backpack in first. Riker looks at me with a meaning 'Look at me.' "You know I'll just walk." I say, about to open te door. But Riker pulls me back, grabbing my wrist. He puts his free hand on my cheek, and makes me look at him. "Rydel, look, I know you don't want to go to school, but you have to. Don't you want to earn some money when your older?" He asks. I stay quiet, I try to get out of his grip again but he says "Do you need to be in my lap the whole time while I drive?" He questions me with a serious tone. I sigh and stay put in my spot. He lets go of me and starts driving.

~At School~

Once we get there, Riker parks into a space and kisses my cheek genty. "Good luck, baby doll. And make friends." He said, sternly. "I'll try." I said getting out and closing the door.
