"Yeah, that Jenny." He nodded in agreement. "She was never a huge fan of me. I guess I was alwaye drawn to the ones who didn't like me. It began part of my drive to improve myself physically, while some part was mother and father's influence and the last part was desire to get a scholarship and find my own way out of from under mom and dad."
He perked up at her words of encouragement. "Really? If a girl of your looks had been interested in me, I'd probably have spent a lot more time making her happy. Probably would have pissed off dad too, my grades slipping and my football career going down the drain. Not that he'd ever show it though."
"You could have left it at the drunk alone part." He teased, reaching over to tickle her in one of her old spots he thought he remembered being ticklish. "The rest of the story makes me want to mope and find a pillow to scream into, thanks."
He reached for one of the blankets on the back of the couch and unfolded it before slipping it over and around them both, tucking her in as the movie began to play again, his hand resting on her shoulder while he finished eating the rest of his pizza and sipping idly from time to time of the alcoholic beverage. He finally finished the pizza and though he was still hungry for more, he didn't want to move. It was cozy and warm beneath the cover, snuggled up against his big sister and so he reached for the bowl of popcorn and pulled it back into his lap, munching on it instead.
