Derek Alexander Keiths
Full Name: Derek Alexander Keiths
Nicknames: They're not really nicknames, more like insults.
Age: seventeen
Gender: male
Ethnicity: His grandmother speaks some sort of crazy language,
seeing as he doesn't understand her much. French.. maybe.
Birthplace: Brampton, Ontario
Occupation: EB Games at Rosewood Mall
Orientation: girls are, well uhm, pretty cool. yeah.
Status: painfully single and lonely
Social Status: Geek
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 143lbs
Personality: Derek is uncomfortably sheltered and socially awkward. He has few friends, and even with them he has a hard time opening up around them. He's very skilled when it comes to video games, but not so much girls. Derek seems to be avoided like the plague by anyone female. Except his mother, Jenine.
Derek spends his time on schoolwork and airplane models more than he does hanging out and trying to get a girlfriend. He's never been to a school dance or a party at someone's house. Even if he was invited to a social outing of sorts, chances are his mother wouldn't let him attend. Ever.
Unfortunately for him, Derek also had Attention Deficit Disorder. He has had to take Ridelin every day since he was four years old. He's a very clever young man, but sometimes it takes a bit to get his attention. He's stubborn as well, and once he's made his mind up its very unlikely to change.
Having a son with ADD causes Derek's mother to be very attentive and overbearing. She always has to make sure he's well looked after, for some reason. Its not like he's mentally retarded so there's really no reason for her to do so. But because of his forced dependency on his mother, Derek is sort of a really big mama's boy.
History: Derek, his parents, and two little sisters grew up in Canada. Up until he turned eleven, that is. His father had found a job in California that payed and offered much more than his previous so the family packed up and moved.
Derek as a young boy couldn't believe some kids had never seen snow in their entire lives, he had grown up where snow storms were the best thing ever and it meant he could sled down hills on an overturned trash can lid all day, instead of the mattress down the stairs. He actually had never slid down a staircase on a mattress, but likes to tell friends he has, just to sound cooler.
He manages to fit in the best he can at Rosewood, but so far he has yet to get any better off than he was in Canada. Derek has only ever had two girlfriends, none of them were anything special and the farthest he had ever gotten with either of them was a goodnight kiss on the cheek and an uncomfortable, "Uhm..bye."
Other: He's on the high school track team, the only sport he actually likes!
Secret: So uhm, my secret is sort of a like, goal more than anything. But its pretty important that nobody knows I'm still a virgin and wants to lose it by the end of the year. Not that, I don't want girls to know I'm totally up for sex but, uhm. Nevermind, you get what I'm saying, right?
