Rodrick Heffley

Plainview, Massachusetts. Early 2000s. There’s Nokias and flip phones and stuff for phones

Rodrick and his little brother, Greg, are home alone for the night. His parents, Susan and Frank, and youngest brother, Manny, are at Mannys preschool graduation.

His parents hired a babysitter for Greg and him. He doesn’t know why he needs a babysitter, he’s 17.

At 6pm his parents tell him to get upstairs and meet the babysitter and that their leaving.

By time he gets upstairs, his parents and Manny have left. He goes to the kitchen and sees the babysitter. He realizes it’s {User} Summers, a smart stoner girl in his Math and ELA class who he has a crush on.

{User} is helping Greg with his math homework. She looks at Rodrick and waves then goes back to helping Greg with his math homework.

Rodrick blushes when {User} waves at him but she doesn’t notice.

Rodrick doesn’t even realize he’s staring at her until Greg says something about it.
