Chapter One-The Nut of the Kidd Family. Derek yawned, lazily opening an eye to a rainy Tuesday morning. The rain seemed to endlessly beat against the windows as he sat up, stretching. The fourth day of summer was now. So far he's slept in, played video games and... Sleep. He stood up, looking at his closet, blowing some of his black hair out of his beautiful, stunning, honey colored eyes. Quite unusual really. He took out a simple white dress shirt, black jeans and his normal sneakers. It was like his normal outfit. His mother thought he could dress in something just a tad more colourful, stepping out of the black and white area. He glanced at the clock. 10:38 A.M. Mom's already left.. He exhaled, whacking the clock off the stand. He hated clocks, and was never scared of them. This year he was going to be a freshman, but he's too afraid to go back to school. Too afraid to get made fun of really. He had the worst case of OCD, always wanting something to be perfectly identical with one another. Besides the face his only friends were Liz and Patty, a couple of cowgirls. They were really helpful when he was breaking down and calling himself asymmetrical trash. Derek slowly walked down the stairs,mumbling to himself about the towels needing to be re-folded. His dad was on the couch, reading a newspaper. "Good morning, sleepy prince." "Morning, dad." Derek answered, grabbing some cookie dough poptarts. "Any plans?" "No dad. I have none, remember?" Derek snapped, rolling his eyes. "Well, isn't someone on his man period?" his dad playfully chirped back, making his face turn red. "Whatever. Anyway, I don't have plans. Why?" "Because. Your mother and I are going to leave for three months," Derek's jaw dropped. "The heck you mean you're leaving for three months, dad!?" "Your mother and I are going to Hawaii for three months, lad." "I heard the three months part, but what do you plan on doing with me?" Derek asked, shutting the fridge door with the milk gallon in his hand. "Well, your Aunt Madilyn is coming." "Who..?" "The nut of the whole Kidd family." Derek exhaled, facetabling. Great. I have the family nut watching me for the whole lame summer! "But never underestimate her, Derek. She's pretty smart and understanding. And fun to be around with." Derek looked up. "You just called her a nut!" "Well, sometimes, being a nut is something to be proud about,"His dad stated, looking up with an eyebrow raised. "Even you're a nut, Derek. You and your damn OCD." "But having everything organized as even is important!" Derek whined. "Your aunt comes in three days. It's final." Derek groaned, lazily dragging himself to the table to eat. This summer. Is. Going. To. Suck!
Chapter two-To the Grocery store! Derek rolled his eyes as his dad went to go get dressed. He slowly nibbled on his poptart, humming to himself. "Oh, and Derek, we're going to the grocery store!" Derek whined, talking back with a mouthful of cookie dough mush. "But there's so many asymmetrical freaks there, dad!" His father answered back with a sarcastic tone,"Don't worry, son! I'll protect you!" Derek sniffled, rolling his eyes. "Just get your hair combed, Derek. It's a freaking mess." Derek mimicked his dad, laughing silently and got a flick in the back of the head. "Ow!" "Gee, maybe you shouldn't make fun of your father if you don't think he's looking." "Yeah, sure I won't." Derek said, finishing up. His phone was buzzing in his pocket. "Who's that?" Derek's dad asked eagerly. "Probably Liz or Patty." Derek took the phone out of his pocket, tilting his head. "Well?" "Unknown number," Derek said before answering. "Hello?" "Hello?" asked a high pitched voice, sounding fake. "Who is this?" "Well, it's no one other than the great Rammy, Derek!" "Woops, didn't save your number from last time." "Geez Derek, get your shit together and save the number then! Where ya going today?" "Grocery shopping." Derek whined. "Sounds fun,"she snorted. "Maybe I'll see you there, Kidd." "Anything to make this day more fun, and to push the worst news ever to the back of my wind would be worth it." Derek said, walking up the stairs. "What kinda news, Kidd?" "My Aunt Madilyn is coming!" "And?" she asked, expecting like she was King-Kong or Godzilla in disguise. "Apparently she's a nut!" "Well, that'll make summer interesting, won't it?" she snickered over the line. "It better be worth having her here. If I don't like it, I'm staying at Liz and Patty's for three months!" "For three months?" "Yeah, cause my parents decided to go to Hawaii for that long." Derek answered with a sarcastic smile on his face, combing his hair. "Well Barbie, let's think for a minute. They're constantly stressed and watching you freak out over the tiniest of shit." "Yeah, I know that. But still, the least they could do is stay for at least half a month." "Listen Kidd, I gotta go. We'll talk later?" "Yeah, yeah." "Alrighty. Bye!" "Bye!" he said, hanging up. The whole drive there, his father was nagging him about Rammy. "So, who was it?" "Who was who?" "Who were you on the phone with?" Derek coughed as a light pink touched his cheeks. "Just a friend." "A female friend?" his dad asked, nudging him with his elbow. Derek groaned,"Yes. Rammy is a girl." "Someone you like?" his dad asked, raising an eyebrow and parking the car. Derek's face colour got darker. "N-No dad. Can we just get our groceries and friggin' leave?" "Okay, we will." his dad smirked. The first thing Derek sees is the one and only Rammy. Damnit. Don't see me-DON'T SEE ME- "Derek!" she grinned, hopping over and squeezing the life out of him. "Yes, it's me, now stop hugging me before I die of lacking oxygen-" he coughed, wincing. Rammy often called him Kidd or Barbie. The only reason she called him Barbie is because she thinks he's skinny as one. "Woops, sorry Kidd." she snickered, letting him go. "Who's this?" Derek's father asked, waggling his eyebrows. Derek facepalmed. "This is Rammy, dad." His father beamed and held out a hand. "The name is Leoneil Kidd." Rammy took his hand and shook it,"Rammy." She stretched, yawning. "Anyway, Derek and I are just going to get our groceries and get out, right Derek?" his father asked with a smirk on his face. Derek's face went from it's normal pale to red again. "Y-Yeah.." Rammy frowned,"You guys aren't going to stay for long?" "W-We're just here to grab a few things, that's all." Derek said, swallowing. Rammy punched him in the shoulder, snorting. "Ouch! What the fu-freak!" "That's for being a liar." she grinned. Derek's dad raised both of his eyebrows. "Gee, thanks." Derek said, rolling his eyes. "Anyway, I'll leave you to your shopping!" Rammy giggled, skipping away. Leoneil turned to Derek with a sly grin. "You like her, don't you?"
