Rick's hand shot out to turn the alarm clock off. He sat up in bed and looked at the room that he has had for the last 6 years.
It was nice, a little more on the small side but nice. He had a 8 drawer dresser, a small TV, a personal bathroom with the door slightly open letting you see the darkness inside, a window with the curtain pulled tightly together not letting any light inside, a twin sized bed with maroon blankets on top, a nightstand next to his bed with alarm clock and picture of his parents on it, and his door shut tightly with a mini basketball hoop and mirror on it.
He got out of bed and started his morning routine; he went to his dresser and grabbed his outfit for the day which was black jeans and a blue San Jose Sharks shirt. Then he headed to the bathroom to get ready.
Today was going to be a start to a new life for him.

"Katie it's time to get up", Johanna said while opening the curtains.
Kate groaned and rolled over in bed. "5 more minutes", Kate mumbled and she bulled the blankets over her head.
"I don't think so. Let's go I left your father down stairs watching the pancakes and if you want editable ones you better get up", Johanna said as she pulled the blanket off of her daughter.
"Alright, alright I'm up", Kate said sitting up and swinging her legs to the side of the bed. "Morning mom", Kate went to peck her mom on the cheek.
"Morning sweetie, breakfast will be ready in 15" Johanna replied walking out of the room.
Kate looked around her room it was simple she had a closet, a dresser with a mirror, her twin sized bed with purple sheets showing and her nightstand right next to it. She had a window to the left of her with the curtains wide open. She had her own bathroom with the door wide open so she could see into it.
She walked over to her closet and picked out her outfit for the day which was a comfortable white shirt and blue jeans. She then walked to the bathroom to take a shower.

Rick stepped out of the shower and grabbed a towel to dry off. He changed into his outfit for the day and walked out of the bathroom.
He was leaving today for about week and a half to stay with his aunt (that he hasn't seen nor heard from for about 7 years till about 2 months ago) for this holiday and then he would have a basketball game versus that high school on Monday; he packed his bag last night. After that he would come back for a little bit and then he would have all of his stuff packed up and moved to her house.
He was leaving in about an hour and it would be about a 7 hour trip in the car up northwest to Auburn, New York from his hometown of Troy, New York. So with that in mind he grabbed his bag and started to and down the steps.
Rick walked down the stairs to be tackled to the ground right when it got off the last step. "Ouch", Rick said but you could barely see him under the sea of red. He knew automatically that it was Alexis and tried to lift her off of him but she had an extremely tight grip around his neck.
"Don't leave Ricky", Alexis pleaded. To Alexis, Rick was like her big brother and she looked up to him.
Not knowing what to say he just held her and whispered soothing and reassuring words into her ear. He loves Alexis and knew it was going to be hard considering how much they had been through together.
"Alright, alright Alexis we are all going to miss him, but we will see him again. So let's get off the hot shot basketball star", Bob Weldon said. He was Rick's best friend here and they have been for the past 6 years when they both came here.
Bob came up and picked up Alexis he noticed her tears and swung her around while Rick got up." Hey, don't cry little red", Bob said while wiping away the rest of her tears that leaked out.
"I don't want him to go", Alexis said in between sniffles, "I'll miss him."
"Yeah me too but if you had an auntie who wanted you to come live with them, wouldn't you want to go?" Bob asked while looking at Rick the whole time.
Rick stepped forward and grabbed Alexis and lifted her up into to the air and ran her around like an airplane. She was giggling the whole time and had her arms spread out like wings. He brought her down and kissed her cheek, then her forehead, and finally her second cheek.
He then hugged her tight to her his chest, he whispered, "I'll miss you ", he said. He put her down and looked for his bag that he dropped when she tackled him.
He walked to Bob and held out his hand for a handshake to have it rejected and be pulled into a hug. "Don't you dare forget me", Bob joked.
"How could I you'll be texting me every minute for an update to what I'm doing and how many cute girls I see", Rick replied nudging him and pulling back from the hug.
Rick started to the door and turned around and said, "Bye guys I'll miss you and Alexis tell everyone I said bye and that I didn't want to wake them since were on break."
With that he walked out of the door and to his car threw his bag in and jumped in. He was quite lucky people say since he had a fortune on his credit card and the best car in town. He took a second to take a deep breath before driving to the front gate in his cherry red Ferrari and checking out.
With that he started his trip up to Auburn and away from his home since he had been 10. The Orphanage of Troy for Boys and Girls.

Kate stepped out of the shower and put on her clothes for the day. She grabbed her phone and sent out a text out to her friends asking what they were doing today and went to have breakfast with her family.
"There you are, breakfast is almost done we just need a little bit more time for the bacon. So you can go ahead and go join your father at the table", Johanna said.
Kate nodded and moved to the dining room. "Morning dad", Kate said going to kiss her dad on the cheek and sitting down next to him.
"Morning sweetheart", he replied looking up from the newspaper. At that moment her mom came in carrying plates of bacon, eggs, and pancakes.
"Alright eat up", Johanna commanded of her family.
They had a simple breakfast full of small talk and then they all cleaned up together. Then her parents moved to the living room while she went up to grab her phone. She came back down and sat down with her parents.
"All my friends are busy till later. So, do you want to watch a movie or something", Kate asked and when her parents agreed they put Coach Carter into the movie player and started it.
Kate thought it was going to be a nice, relaxing, uneventful, and slow week but oooohh was she wrong.
