I got out of the shower, and saw my towel, along with my pajamas. I put them on, and went to go back. I decided to comb my hair, and I looked in the mirror to see if I look great. "Well, we need to discuss something." I said. "Ok, what is it?" Asked Malcolm. "Since, I'm here in the room. Where can I sleep?" I asked.
"Oh, I know. I can just ask Lois." I started walking, until Reese grabbed me by the arm gently. "Hey, since Malcolm & Dewey have to share the bed. How about you sleep in mine?" He asked, with a smile. "Then, where will you sleep." I said, while I crossed my arms together. He started laughing. "What's so funny?" I asked. "I mean, I'm sleeping in the bed with you." He smiled.
"What?! I don't think, Lois will allow that." I said. "Why not, I don't bite. Besides, it will be a great chance for you and me to get to know each other better." He winked at me. "Yeah, in an intimate room, where people sleep." I replied. "You want to be intimate too, I always knew I was going to like you. See Malcolm, I told you she and I were meant to be." He said, while taking his hand in mine. I saw Malcolm rolls his eyes in annoyance.
"No, I never said that. Also, like I said before, not even in hell we are meant to be, dumbass." I replied, I shook my hand out of Reese's."You know what, I will just ask her." I saw Dewey come in. "Mom said that she will get the air bed for you to sleep in." He said. "Aww Dewey, you didn't have to go ask for me." I said. "Well, I didn't want to deal with Reese sucking your face and talk about how much he's loves you." He replied. I started laughing hard.
"Trust me, me and Reese won't be sucking face any time soon." I smiled. He smiled back. I saw Lois come in with the air bed. "Thank you so much, Lois. I really appreciate it." I smiled. "You're welcome sweetie, and you can call me mom if you want." She replied. "Ok, thanks I will." I replied back. She left the room, and it was bed time.
Later, before we went to bed. I saw Reese on my air bed. "Real funny, dumbass. Now, get off my bed." I said, while putting hands on my hips. "Like I said before, you can have my bed." He replied. "You really meant that, didn't you." I said. "Yeah, why wouldn't I. You're part of the family now, and as your step-brother I would like to make you feel welcome. Also, I really like you." He said.
"Even, though I may be a jerk and an idiot at times. Doesn't mean I can be nice too." "Well, alright. That's good with me." I smiled. I went to Reese's bed and I went to sleep. "Reese." I said. "Yeah, Becky." He replied. "Thank you." I said. "You're welcome, no problem, anytime." He smiled. "Goodnight, everyone." I said. Everyone replied back goodnight.
Next Morning...
I woke up, and I went to go brush my teeth. I saw that the brothers are asleep. It is 6:59 in the morning. I got my megaphone and woke them up. "WAKE UP!" I yelled into the megaphone. They all woke up. "Mom, it's 6:59." Said Malcolm. "Actually it's 7:00 now." I said. Malcolm wiped his eyes from his sleep and saw that it was me. "Becky, you woke us up?" He asked. "Yep, we got to get ready for school." I replied. I saw Dewey's eyes open up.
"Good morning, Becky." Said Dewey. "Good morning, Dewey." I said, with a smile. I saw that Reese is still asleep. I walked over to him and tried to wake him up. "Dumbass, wake up." I said. He was still moping around. I got my megaphone, and yelled in his ear. "WAKE UP DUMBASSS! ITS TIME TO GO TO SCHOOL!" I said. He still was asleep.
"Damn it, Malcolm, how can I get Reese to wake up?" I asked. "Let me think." He said. I saw him tell Dewey. Dewey started laughing. "What's funny?" I asked. "Well, we know how to wake him up. But, we don't think you would do it." He said. "I'm Rebecca Parker-Wilkerson, I can do anything, anytime and anywhere." I said, my famous motto. They both started laughing.
"Ok, since you asked for it. You have to kiss Reese." Said Dewey. "WHAT?!" I yelled. "Out of the question." I put my hands up in disagreement. "Wait, you said you can do anything." Said Malcolm. "Yeah, I mean I can, but not that I mean." I pointed towards Reese. "C'mon, mom will kill us, if we don't wake him up." Replied Malcolm.
"Fine, I will." I said. I went towards Reese, I gave a peck on his cheek and then I saw that he turned his face towards my lips. My eyes were opened in shock, and he shoved his tongue in my mouth. "Hmmmmppppphhh!""" I was screaming in his mouth, then I pushed him off of me. "Good morning to you too, Becky Boo." He grinned.
"First of all, don't call me that asshole. Second of all, they dared me to. Last, good morning to you too, Reese." I replied. I left the room. "Cool, I got to kiss her, you didn't." Reese said to Malcolm. "But, she didn't like it. So, haha on you." Malcolm retorted back.
I got my clothes and on, did my hair, my usual routine, and went to breakfast. I was wearing a blue plaid skirt, a white tanktop covered by a blue cardigan, ankle socks, with loafers, and my hair down with a dark blue headband. "Good Morning, mom." I said. "Good Morning, Becky." She smiled. I started eating my cereal.
I saw all the boys come in. "Boys, you guys are up early." Said Lois, with a shock. "Yeah, I just realized that, how was that possible?" Asked Hal. I was staying quiet, eating my cereal. "Rebecca?" Asked Lois. "Yeah, mom." I said, while I was feeling guilty. "Did you know how the boys woke up early?" She asked. "Well, I uhhh, ummm, I u-hh." I stood there speechless. I gave up.
"Ok, I used this." I took out my megaphone and showed it to her. "You woke them up with the megaphone?" Asked Hal. "Yes, dad. I did." I replied. Lois took my megaphone and smiled. "Wow, Becky. This is amazing. I wish I would have thought of this, thanks." She said, amused. "You're welcome, you can keep it. If you want, mom." I said, happily. "Actually, she couldn't wake me up." Piped in Reese.
"Don't you dare, dumbass." I mouthed toward Reese. He grinned evilly. "She woke me up by-" I saw him get cut off my Malcolm throwing maple syrup at him and squirting it all over him. They started having a maple syrup fight.
I stood there in shock. "Boys, get cleaned up!" Yelled Lois. I saw Reese got up from his chair. Reese looked at me. "By the way, Becky. We will discuss our "talk" later." He winked. I was giving him a glare, and I felt like steam was coming out of my ears like in those cartoons. He walked away laughing.
"You alright?" Asked Malcolm. "Yeah, thanks. Malcolm." I smiled. "No problem." He smiled back. We all started to walk to school. "Hey Dewey, what's wrong?" I asked him. "Mom, told us to hold hands." He replied. "Aww, I will hold your hand." I smiled. He smiled back. I took Dewey's hand in mine. Then, I went to school normally, and everything turned out fine.
It was lunchtime, and I decided to eat by myself. Until, my best friend, Julie Houlermann came in decided to sit by me. "Hey, Becky." She smiled. "Hey, Jules. What's up?" I asked. "Oh, nothing much. Hey, we couldn't spoke on phone yesterday. I tried to call you at the orphanage, but the people said you were adopted." She said.
"Yep, it's true I'm adopted." I smiled. She came over and gave me a hug. "I'm so happy for you, who's the family?" She asked. "It's the Wilkersons." I said. "Malcolm's family?" She said. "Yep." I said. "What's it like?" She asked. "Well, here's the story. You have 2 parents who always have PDA with each other, a sweet little boy who's an angel and obeys his parents, a genius who knows everything, and a bully who's not very bright, but has a huge crush on you." I said. "Now, how does that sound to you?" I said, sarcastically. "Wow, your life sounds fun and colorful." Said Julie.
"How?! You have the school's bully as your step-brother/the guy who has a crush on you." I said, complaining. "Uh, Becky. I got to go, I'll talk to you later." She said, worriedly. "Julie? What's wrong? What's the rush?" I said, worryingly. "Uh, nothing I got to go. Bye." she said, waving at me. I just shrugged, and looked behind me. I screamed and saw that it was Reese. "Hey Babe, I heard that you were talking about me." He smiled, while taking a seat opposite of me. "First of all, don't call me that. Second, I actually was." I said. "Really? Who did you talk to?" He asked, stupidly.
"My BFF, Julie." I said. "Now, I know why she ran away. It's because of you." I pointed at him. "Hey Becky, it's not nice to point at people." He said, while putting his hands up. "Hahaaha, very funny, what do you want?" I asked, grumpily. "Nothing really, I just wanted to say hi." He came over and put his arms around me. "To my girlfriend." he whispered in my ear, smiling, and flirtily. I was drinking my milk and I had a spit take. I instantly took his arm off of me. "Woah, slow down there, Reese." I said.
"Who said anything about me being your girlfriend?" "I did." He smiled smugly. "Look, Reese, you seem like a nice guy and all but your not my type. Besides, your my step-brother." I said. "Yeah, step-brother." He said, with air-quotes. "Yeah, but still." I said, with arms folded together. "Look, I may seem like the bad guy because I'm the bully with no friends, but it doesn't mean I can compromise for you, sweetheart." He said.
"Hahaha, that's so sweet, Reese. But, all I can hear coming from your mouth is bullshit." I said. "Well it's not, just give me a chance, Becky." He begged on his knees. "Please, I'll do anything." "Ok, you can do one thing." I Said. "Yeah, sure anything." He smiled. "Get this through your head, I'm not going out with you." I said,smugly. "Well, you know what." He said, angrily.
"What?" I said. "I will do whatever it takes to make you love me." He said. "Sure, keep on saying that. Like that would happen." I said sarcastically. I started walking away, until Reese instantly grabbed a hold of my leg. "Reese! Get off!" I yelled at him. "How about? hmm, no!" he answered, laughing. I started walking away, angrily, trying to get him off. I saw all the kids laugh at me. "Hey Becky is he your boyfriend?" The kid said.
"No, he's my step-brother." I replied. I was walking with a bully attached to my leg, the highlight of my day. I saw Malcolm, and I kind of waddled there due to Reese's over-attachment to my leg. "Malcolm!" I said. "Can you help me out?" "Yeah, sure. What's wrong?" He asked. "Well, you tell me? How would you feel if you have the school's bully attached to your leg?" I said, sarcastically. They, saw Reese on my leg and then I saw Malcolm and Stevie Kenarbaan laughing.
"Hahaahhha...haha...ha." Breathed Stevie. (Incase, you didn't know, Stevie has breathing problems, so you can see why he talks like that.) "It's not funny." I pouted. "It kind of actually is, and Reese I don't think Becky would want a guy who's too emotionally and physically attached to her, also too clingy either." Malcolm said, laughing at his joke. "Haha, very funny, Malcolm." I crossed both of my arms together.
I saw Reese got off of my leg. "Thank you, for getting off. I didn't enjoy that." I said at Reese. "I did." He said, happily and sheepishly. "Why?" I asked. "I saw Purple Polka Dots." He said grinningly. I was shocked of embarrassment, because he saw my underwear. I was blushing madly. "Awww, you're blushing, you're so cute when you blush." He said, stupidly and happily. I gave him a smack on his face, as well, as a punch, and a kick on the you know where. He started rolling over on the ground, and he was crying.
"Well, you're so cute, when you cry." I said, smugly. Everyone cheered, laughed, and smiled. He got off from the ground. "Becky, wait. I'm sorry, please forgive me." He said, while I was walking away from him, since school was over. I was ignoring him, and I officially hate him.
At Home...
I walked home and I arrived, went to my room, and I closed the door behind me. I got on Reese's bed, and pouted to myself. Reese ran home and arrived. "Becky? Where are you?" He asked, worriedly. "Look, I'm sorry. I didn't mean, what happened. Please forgive me." I heard him calling out. I was quiet so he couldn't find me. Dewey and Malcolm were home too.
"Reese, this has gone too far. Why can't you accept that fact that she's not interested." Assured Malcolm. "Because, she's different. She's not like any other girl I have ever met." Said Reese. "Maybe, she doesn't like you, because you're a jerk." Said Dewey. "Shut up, Dewey." Yelled Reese. "You don't know anything." Reese ran to the door of his room and tried to open the knob of the door. "The door's locked, I can pick the lock." He said. Reese used a bobby pin to unlock the door.
"Where did you get that?" Asked Malcolm. "From a nerdy girl, I beat up." He said. He opened the door, and I instantly hid under the bed. "Becky, look I'm sorry, please forgive me." Said Reese. "I know that I can be a jackass, an asshole, and all the other insults from you. Doesn't mean that I can change that." I heard all things he was saying from under the bed.
"The reason why I'm acting like this is to get your attention, Becky, I'm in love with you." He said. I was blushing under the bed. I heard some crying. I instantly came out from under the bed. "Becky, where were you?" He asked, angrily. "I was under the bed the whole entire time." I said. "Oh, well. I was just looking for you." He said."Yeah, I heard and Reese were you crying?" I asked. "No, I just had something in my eye." He lied.
"Uh huh, sure ya did." I said. "Ok, I was." He went on,"I was really worried about you." "Why? You knew I was coming home." I said. "Look, I'm just going to leave the room and have a convo with Dewey. So, you guys can have some alone time." Assured Malcolm. I saw Dewey and Malcolm left the room. "I was worried, because, I thought that, ummm I don't know." He said.
I saw that he was stuttering.
"Reese, I think it's sweet that you really like me, but, before this leads on any further. Can we be friends first?" I asked. He looked up happily. "Yeah, sure. I never had a friend before, because people hate me." He replied sadly. "Well, if you stop being mean for a change, maybe people's thought of what they think of you will change as well." I said.
"Wow, I never thought of it that way. Nobody, ever said that to me." He said. "Thanks, Becky." "You're welcome, Reese." I smiled. He just came over and gave me a hug, I hugged back. "Hahah, Reese." I said. "You can let go now." "Oh, yeah. Sorry." He said, shyly. "It's fine." I said. "We are now, officially friends." He said. "Yep." I said. I taught him a handshake. We did our handshake.
At Dinner...
"So, how was school?" Asked Lois. "It was sad for me." Said Dewey. "How come?" Asked Hal. "The kid in my school called me weird, and took my lunch money." He said sadly. "I'm sorry to hear that, Dewey." I said. "How about you, Becky?" Asked Lois. Reese gave me an eye contact and a look like "I don't want to talk about it."
"Uh, I um, I don't want to talk about it." I fake smiled at them. "She's right, we shouldn't talk about it." Said Reese. "Why not?" Asked Hal. "Reese saw Becky's underwear at school." Said Dewey. "Dewey, you weren't suppose to say that." I told him. He looked down sadly. I mouthed to him "I will give you ice cream later." He smiled at me, I smiled back.
"What?!" Yelled Lois. "Yes, mom. It's true, but I said sorry to her. She forgive me." Said Reese. "Right, Becky?" "Yeah, I did. I told him we should be friends instead, nothing more." I said. "Right, Reese? "Yeah, right." Said Reese. "Anymore, things I didn't know about?" Asked Lois. "Also, Malcolm forced Becky to kiss Reese so he can wake up and not be late for school." Said Dewey. "Dewey! Stop. Can we move on?" I asked,worriedly. "C'mon Becky, don't act like you didn't like it." Said Reese, winking.
I just rolled my eyes in annoyance. "How could I? You were forcefully tongue kissing me and I was screaming help in your throat." I said angrily. "What?! I'm disappointed in you boys, you guys are grounded, Becky you are off the hook." said, Lois. "Anyway, Becky. School called." "Am I in trouble?" I asked. "No, your music teacher called." Said Lois. "Mrs. Feffermen?" I asked.
Becky's Freeze Time..
"Ok, you are probably wondering why my teacher called at school. Ok, here's what happened."
At Chorus Class Earlier...
I am playing on the piano and singing to the song "No One" by Alicia Keys. Then, my teacher Mrs. Feffermen came in and saw me. "Becky, that was amazing." Cooed Mrs. Feffermen. "How long did it take for you to learn that song?" "A Day." I said, "I learned it at the orphanage, before I was adopted by the Wilkersons." "Oh, that's cool." She replied, "Hey, I was wondering if you would like to do a special music test personalized for you?" "Yeah, sure. I love to." I said.
Mrs. Feffermen was giving me musical questions from artists to notes to theory to everything with everything that has to do with music. "Well, that was it. Thank you, for taking the test, Becky." Said Mrs. Feffermen. "You're welcome." I smiled.
Back to the Present...
"Yes, Mrs. Feffermen called." Said Lois. "The reason why you took this test is because, you're gifted." "What?" I asked. "Becky, you have been accepted into the Fine Arts class." Said Lois, happily. "Wait, what are you saying?" I asked.
"Remember, you took that test from Mrs. Feffermen?" Said Lois. "Yeah." I nodded. "The test was to prove that you are an excellence for music and drama." Said Lois. "So, wait. I'm a Kreylboyne?" I asked. "No, you're not. You are in the special class for kids who are gifted in the arts." Said Lois. "Becky, you are a musical prodigy." I was shocked with happiness, I couldn't stop smiling.
"Really?" "Yes, sweetie. Yes you are." Said Hal. "I'm so happy that I'm accepted into something that I love and cherished for." I said, happily. "Thanks, mom and dad." I came over and gave them both a hug. "I'm going to call my BFF, Julie." I said. "Wait!" Yelled Malcolm. "Julie Houlermann?"
"Yeah, of course. What Julie don't I know." I said, sarcastically. I left the room. "Wait, so my step-sister is a musical prodigy?" Asked Reese. "Yeah, that's what we said, so many times, Reese." Said Hal. "I'm going to ask her questions." Said Reese. Reese ran out of the room. "Mom, will I ever be special like Malcolm and Becky?" Asked Dewey. "Yeah, keep on dreaming." Said Lois. Hal just shrugged in agreement.
In Reese, Malcolm, Dewey, and Becky's Room...
(On Phone)
"You're not going to be in my class anymore?" Asked Julie. "Yeah, I'm in the Fine Arts program for gifted people." I replied. "Like a Kreylboyne?" Asked Julie. "No, better." I said, "The kids who are in the program, don't get made fun of." "Oh ok." Said Julie. "I'm going to miss you." "Yeah, but hey, at least we have lunch together." I said, happily. "Yeah, true. Want to hang out at the mall tomorrow? We can go hang out in the arcade?" Asked Julie.
"Sure, I love too!" I said excitedly. I saw Reese come in and took away my phone, "Hey, Becky's busy right now with her step-brother. If you know what I mean. Bye Julie!" Said Reese. Then, he hanged up the phone on Julie and I's convo.
"Hey! That wasn't nice, that was my BFF." I said, angrily. "Well, too bad." Faked pouted, Reese. "Now, tell me about your program." "Why would you care?" I said, while crossing my arms together. "Because, I want to know what's going on with my beautiful, talented, baby step-sister." He said, in a baby voice.
"Fine, I get to perform in the assembly, show my talents in the arts, and do what I love doing." I said. "That's sounds like fun for you." He replied, sarcastically. "C'mon Reese, you can't admit that you're jealous, because you're not getting represented on what you're good at. You would be happy too, if you get represented on beating people up and making them cry classes." I said. "True. But, Becky's not a gift, it's a hobby that I will honor and cherish forever." He replied. I just rolled my eyes in annoyance.
"Speaking of weird, why did Malcolm flip when I spoke about Julie?" I asked. "Didn't you know?" Surprised,Reese. "What?" I asked. "Malcolm, has a huge crush on your friend Julie." He said. "That's why, he's been kind of acting strange lately. And, when I do think about it, Julie does talk about Malcolm a lot, I mean, she goes on, and on, and on, about it." I said, annoyed. "So, what about you?" He asked.
"What about me?" I asked. "Do you talk about me too?" He said, smugly. "Yeah, I actually I do." I said, happily. "Really? What about? How hot I am? How good I look when I make people cry? How I smell like Cinnamon?" He said, excitedly. "No, no, and no. They are mostly about how much I hate you, how stupid you are, you know the hate stuff." I said, casually. "Oh." He said, gapingly. "But, don't worry, you are still my favorite brother." I said. I came over and gave him a hug, he lolled his head on my shoulder. He smiled at me, I smiled back.
"Hey, what about me?" Asked Dewey, when he came in. "You too, Dewey." I said. He came over and I gave him a hug. "And me? I am the smartest." Said Malcolm, while he came in. "Especially you too, Malcolm." I said. I gave them all a hug. "Even though, we have our differences I still love all you guys, as family and as my step-brothers, thanks for being the best step-brothers I ever had." I said, happily.
"You're welcome!" They all said, happily at the same time. "Now, I wonder which one of you guys love me the most as a step-sister?" I said, saracastically. I was rubbing my chin like in "hmm, thinking mode". Then, they all started having a fight of "I love her more" "No, I do" "I do". I started laughing and I let it go. They went on about it the rest of the night.
Even, though I have a family that's not perfect, that doesn't mean we can get better, even though they are weird, crazy, and Dsyfunctional, but they always come through for me in the end. I wonder what it will be like being in the talented, gifted, arts program.
Besides, what you get is what you see. Now, this chapter is part of my new life I have now as a Wilkerson, I will cherish it and honor it, like Reese said. But, hey we can never know what will happen in the later future of this family. Let's just see and find out.
End of Chapter 3
