Derek began to stir and then found his voice, "What do you think you are doing?" He yelled clutching the covers around him.
"Do you want to go to hockey?" I asked raising my voice.
"Yeah, but this early?" He looked at his watched and glared.
"Okay I will go and start the car… it's cold out so you get all your crap… I mean stuff." I corrected.
"Okay leave." Derek walked toward the door and pushed it onto me as I was leaving.
I waited in the hallway for five seconds and then ran down the stairs toward the front door. The car keys were in my pocket jumping around with every step I took. I reached for them and slid them into the engine and waited. When Derek wasn't there in five minutes I honked and then he came out shoving his middle finger into the air.
I laughed and unlocked the doors. "Hey putts." I laughed harder.
"That's not funny." He looked at the radio clock and sighed, "Can we just go?" I carefully backed out of the driveway and sped down the street.
"So why did you wake me up?" He interrupted my thinking.
"Oh I heard there… umm… was a…" I panicked when I couldn't find an excuse, I decided to just tell him. "I wanted to be at your hockey for support you know…" I kept my eyes on the steering wheel.
"Ohh well I appreciate it." He smirked and then the silence began.
