Little Hearts
I woke up, my eyes blinded by the light which shone out the window. I yawned stretching, realizing that Ricky was out of bed and Kath and Tom were still snoring peacefully. I grabbed my phone from under the bed and looked at the time. 6:45am. God, but once I was awake, I could not go back to sleep. So I slowly got up, still tired. I rubbed my eyes once more and turned to the window. It was bright for 6:45am in the morning. There was a door leading to a small kitchen, we weren't suppose to go in there without permission, because of the knives, oven and microwave and stuff, but I heard someone humming quietly. Ricky. I got my slippers and slipped them on, along with my dressing gown. I walked to the door and slowly opened it. Ricky was pouring some milk into a bowl which had some Coco Pops in. He turned, startled to see me up.
"Oh! Did I wake you? Sorry." I shook my head. I felt starvation take over me. My stomach made a rumbling sound. Ricky chuckled.
"Or is that why you got up?" I went red, covering my stomach. I walked over to the other end of the tiny, narrow kitchen, squeezing past Ricky. I bent down to a low cupboard and opened it. There was Cornflakes, Frosties, Coco Pops and Golden Nuggets. I chose the Golden Nuggets, they were my favorite. Shame we didn't have any Bran Flakes though. I closed the cupboard, straightening up. I turned to see Ricky sitting on the side, chomping on his Coco Pops. I gripped the box of Golden Nuggets, which made a noise, as I carried it. Ricky passed me a bowl, I nodded, thanking him. I poured the Golden Nuggets into a bowl, along with some milk. Ricky also put away the milk, still sitting on the side, stretching over to the fridge, almost falling. I offered but he shook his head, eventually getting it into the fridge. He passed me a spoon he left on the side for me. I nodded, smiling once more, and got up on the side next to him, munching on the Golden Nuggets.
"Morning then." He grinned, chomping on the last spoonful of Coco Pops. I smiled, swallowing the first spoonful I took.
"Morning." He lifted his bowl, his lips touching the edge of it. He drank the chocolate milk quickly. He lowered the bowl and licked his lips. He got off the side and threw bowl into the tiny sink. He stood, waiting. I ate my last spoonful after 5 minutes or so and did the same as Ricky. Drank the remaining milk then throwing it into the sink. It was plastic bowls, don't worry. Ricky opened the door for me.
"Ladies first?" I laughed.
"I'm not a Lady, I'm a girl. You're being so polite today... why?" He shrugged, scratching his head. I went through, seeing Kath open her eyes and watching me walk out into the bedroom. She sat up rubbing her eyes, like she saw something so un real.
"THERES A KITCHEN ASWELL!?" She jumped out of bed and ran to it, her stomach rumbled aswell.
"Oh, this is just SO cool." She ran to Tom's bed, across the room and shoke him awake.
"What, you psycho cow!" He moaned, kicking and pushing her away.
"PSYCHO? I just woke you up to tell you... THERES A KITCHEN." He sighed, rolling his eyes.
"Of course there would be a kitchen you dim witted freak!" She stood up her mouth open, horrifed.
"For God's Sake! Be kind once in your life!" She stormed off, turning happy in just a second as soon as she saw the door to the kitchen. I just heard as soon as she shut the door,
"I wonder if there is a cool bathroom aswell..." Then her voice trailed off, into hums of joy. Ricky made his bed, so I copied. Then I grabbed some clothes then stopped.
"Who's getting changed in the bathroom?" I asked, hoping me and Kath were, you never know when a boy could unlock the door to see some girls in knickers and bras. I waited 'till Ricky came up with something. Kath came coming out the kitchen, munching on toast.
"I'm changing alone! I'll change in the bathroom. Ricky can change in his mams cabin, Tom slept in his clothes, so he can just wait outside." Tom growled, he got out of bed, showing he had actually slept in his boxers, Kath covered her eyes.
"PLEASE, atleast get something on! We don't want to see you in you're boxers, what if you had a wet dream, huh?!" Tom blushed, but he still glared, grabbing the covers, covering himself. Kath grabbed her underwear and clothes. She wandered into the bathroom and locked the door after her. Ricky shrugged at me, he grabbed his clothes and went outside to get dressed in his mams cabin, but he decided to get dressed in the old, outside toilet. Tom stared at me, his glares disappearing. He sighed.
"I'll get changed in the kitchen." He flung the covers onto the bed and grabbed his clothes, I bowed my head until he exited the room. I stood silently. I looked around then quickly stripped off my PJ's, I stood in my underwear. Suddenly, Kath came bursting out screaming, also in her underwear.
"What?!" I screamed with her, thinking a man had entered, but it was bright daylight.
"A SPIDER, A BIG ONE!!" Her shrieks got Tom's attention so he came out into the bedroom, holding a rolling pin from the kitchen. He was still topless, but with jeans on.
"WHAT, IS THERE A MURDERER? LET ME AT HIM!" He looked around, just to see me and Kath in our pink bras and knickers. He sighed.
"There isn't a murderer is there?" Kath screeched louder as she saw the big spider crawl out of the bathroom. It was incredibly big for a normal English spider. It's body was atleast 3 cms long, but the legs stretched out as far as your own palm.
"It's coming, it'll kill us!" I hugged Kath, knowing she had Aracnophobia, and couldn't help acting like a child. Ricky came running in, his jeans on and his T-Shirt on. He stopped, surprised to see, two half naked girls, huddled together and a half naked boy standing with a rolling pin in his hands. He saw the giant spider and jumped.
"That's big, innit." He crouched down beside it, that's when the spider suddenly zoomed atleast 10 cm away from Ricky, getting closer to Kath. She screeched louder.
"Shut it Kath, it's only a SPIDER." Tom yelled going infront of the spider, which skidded underneath his legs.
"She has a phobia for them you selfish cow!" I yelled as Kath cried. I must say, she was acting too extreme over a spider. Ricky stared at me & Kath. Kath was slim like me, but she wasn't as tanned. Her hair was blonde and curly. I saw Ricky staring at our bodies, I was certainly horrifed. He saw me glaring, mouth opened. He turned away, embarrased. I turned to Tom, he had the spider in his hands, coming closer to the both of us. Thats when we both screamed. Ricky pushed Tom, which made Tom drop the spider. Kath couldn't stand the sight of it anymore, she struggled free from me and ran around like a mental psycho. I looked at Tom, teeth gritted, I stood there, not caring about my underwear on display. He shrugged. I knew Tom was comfortable around girls when in underwear, he has many sisters, and they'd always annoy him by doing it, they soon stopped as he didn't care anymore.
"Get over there, and comfort her, I don't care if you dislike her." I hissed through my teeth. He just looked at me.
"Now!" I yelled, he jumped and ran up to Kath, chasing her, as she screamed, running. I turned to Ricky, who was staring again.
"And you, instead of perving on me and Kath, get that f-cking spider and squish it or throw it outside, I don't care, JUST DO IT!" I spat at him, he looked upset, surprised I yelled at him. I have never yelled at him, but he was distgusting me and Tom was always a pain in the neck. Ricky grabbed a cup and caught the spider, it's Legs sticking out from the cup, he quickly turned the cup so the spider was inside it, he slammed his hand over the cup, so the spider was trapped. He ran outside and freed the spider, quickly running in, closing the door.
"See, it's gone! Look!" Tom held screaming Kath, she calmed down since she found out the spider was gone. She put her hand on her head.
"Phew... I hate them!" She breathed in and out, still scared. Ricky bowed his head. I looked at him. He had disappointed me, he was staring at mine and Kath's bodies, while Tom didn't bother. I know boys do that, but he was 12, which made it worse, we were 12, turning 13. I know it's something to do with puberty, but he didn't even bother looking away. My teeth gritted when I saw him. He looked at me and turned his head away. I didn't want to start an arguement infront of everyone so I just looked at the door then Ricky, hoping he understood. He did. He walked out. Tom finished calming Kath down and said he wanted to get changed.
"My nipples are turning into cone shaped breasts, I'm freezing." That cheered us up, we giggled as he left. I turned to Kath, she was staring at me.
"What were you saying to Ricky, I was too busy screeching in Tom's ear..." She felt ashamed, embarrased of how she acted. I knelt down beside her.
"I'll tell you after we get changed." She realized she was in her underwear.
"EW! Tom held me half naked, that's just disturbing." She didn't mind getting changed with me. She didn't dare take a step in that bathroom.
When we were changed, we went outside. I sat next to Kath, who sat next to Tom, who had Ricky on the other side of him. I sat away from Ricky. Kath realized.
"You two are usually together, why not now?" I ignored her but Ricky felt the need to speak.
"She doesn't like me at this moment in time." I knew his act, to make me feel sorry. Am I hell gunna feel sorry for him! I coughed.
"Why Rose?" I grinned, smugly.
"Oh, you wouldn't want to know, I don't think he'd like me to say- but I just might-"
"Oh, Rose. I wasn't even doing anything- stop trying to stir stuff." Ricky said quickly.
"Stir what?" Tom asked curious.
"Stir stuff? How am I?! You were doing it so shut up." Ricky looked at the ground.
"DOING WHAT!" Tom and Kath said, despreate to know.
"Nothing..." Ricky mumbled. I straightened up.
"Well if you really must know-"
"Can I speak to you alone?!" Ricky shot up walking inside.
"I'll be inside." I watched him leave and got up after him.
"Don't bother trying to listen, because you'll find out when I get back." I winked, whispering. They both giggled and did a thumbs up to me. I walked inside, Ricky was sitting on the bed, head bowed.
"Why can't you keep it silent?" He said, muffled.
"Because- it's horrible, I have to blurt it out sometime or another." He exhaled deeply. He stood up to face me.
"Well, what's to blurt out?" He must be thick, I have a memory like an elephant. He knows that!
"YOU WERE STARING AT ME AND KATHS BODY, IT WASN'T AT OUR FACE ETHIER BEFORE YOU MAKE A DUMB EXCUSE!" I yelled. Ricky covered my mouth, I brushed it away.
"Well-" He decided not to argue you back.
"I wasn't meaning it in a rude way, I was just surprised to see two girls huddled together half naked- really..." I looked at him and sighed. He was RIGHT. He did come in and saw two girls screaming and Tom flinging a rolling pin.
"Why didn't you stop- really, we're arguing over nothing. We need to just clam down. Think about Kath's phobia though, you were just standing there star-" He came forward and kissed me. Not a full frontal snog, but a peck and he released. I felt dizzy. He bowed his head. My mind was blank.
"Wha-" He kissed me again, but I didn't kiss back. I felt dizzy, too dizzy infact. 2
I'd never think my first kiss was with... Ricky.3
