Derek was sitting outside tossing his baseball up against the tree in his front yard. He had been doing this for about an hour. He had to admit to himself that this was getting boring. Derek walked around to the backyard to get his bike. Maybe riding around the block would lighten his mood. As he walked back around the house he noticed a moving truck two doors down from his house. There was a blonde lady standing near the truck warning some movers not to break her mirror or they would pay for it. Then "he" came out of the house. He was tall for his age but still shorter than Derek. He was skinny too. Derek imagined him hula-hooping with a cheerio and laughed out loud. This caught the other boy's attention. As he walked toward him Derek took all of him in. He had long sandy brown curls that encircled his face making him look younger than he was. He wore glasses that covered most of his face and he had a smile that could light up a room. Then he spoke. Hi. I'm Spencer Reid. I'm ten years old. I just moved here from Virginia. I love to read books. But I don't like basketball, soccer, tennis, baseball, swimming, hockey, or football. Derek stood with his hand extended and a weird look on his face until Spencer finished. Oh I'm sorry I tend to do that a lot what's your name. Are you sure you're finished because I can wait, Derek chuckled. Yes, I'm finished, Spencer blushed. Ok. I'm Derek. Derek Morgan. I'm twelve and I live right here so I guess we're neighbors huh. I noticed bike riding wasn't on your list so do you like to ride your bike? Derek asked a smirk sneaking onto his face. I've never ridden a bike before Spencer whispered. Oh. Said Derek then he got a great idea. I could teach you if you want. That would be great but I don't have a bike Spencer said he cheeks burning bright red again. Don't worry you could use my sister's you two are about the same size. What color is it asked Spencer?(please don't say pink)Blue said Derek. Cool how old is she asked Spencer .She's seven I took the training wheels off for her about a year ago but I could put them back on for you Derek laughed. Ha ha ha said Spencer then he stopped and starred at Derek could you please he whispered. Sure Derek said stifling a laugh no problem. I'll go do it now you could come in the house if you want. Spencer walked up the stairs behind Derek looking around nervously he hoped that Derek's sister wasn't home or that if she was she wouldn't laugh at him. Derek opened the door and a little girl ran up and wrapped herself around his legs. Spencer was confused this little girl didn't look like she was seven Spencer thought to himself. Maybe five but not seven. Derek picked the little girl up and swung her around to his back then he turned to Spencer and said this is my little sister Desiree. Desi this is Spencer. Desiree how old are you Spencer couldn't help but ask. Four Desiree said holding up four little fingers. I'll be five next month. Won't I Derek. Yes, Desi Derek said smiling. I thought you said she was seven Spencer asked, frowning at Derek. I said I had a sister who is seven I didn't say her name. Sara come here for a minute Derek yelled from the bottom of the stairs. Coming Der Sara yelled back. She came running down the stairs and jumped into Derek's arms. Wow they really love their brother though Spencer. Can I use your bike pleeeeasse Sara. DEREK! Please Sara ! Ok. Derek just don't leave it in the drive way because you know mommy will run over it. Ok. Sara thanks, he said kissing her cheek and putting her down. Then he headed to the kitchen. He reached up in the cabinet and got down four bags of chips and sat them on the table. Then he walked over to the refrigerator and took out some chicken salad their mom had made before she left and four juices. Spencer automatically went for the crackers on top of the fridge. Then he thought about something and ran out of the house down the street to his house. Derek ran after him sitting Desi down and telling the girls not to move. Spencer ran into his new kitchen and grabbed a fruit tray out of the fridge he grabbed a plastic bowl and filled it with grapes, and strawberries. Then he grabbed some celery sticks and ranch dressing and almost knocked Derek down running back outside. Whoa come down Derek laughed. It's lunch not a party he laughed again. My mom always taught me not to take anything from anyone without giving back so I wanted to contribute to lunch. Fine but let me help you with that Derek more so demanded than offered. He would not let Spencer carry all of that stuff by himself. Spencer handed Derek the fruit bowl since it was the heaviest. He had noticed that Derek had muscles. Why not let him use them. As they got closer to Derek's house they heard a thud and then crying. The boys raced up the stairs hoping and praying nobody was hurt. If one of the girls was hurt Derek knew his mom would kill him for leaving them alone.(please let them be alright)he prayed as he dashed towards the kitchen. Spencer only steps behind. The boys ran into the kitchen and put the stuff down. Desi was sitting on the floor screaming and Sara was standing up on a chair tears forming in her eyes. She knew she would get in trouble for this she just wondered if Derek would tell mom or punish her himself.
