Simon has been dating your mum for about a year which make him your step-dad. However he is struggling with bonding with you. You weren't exactly mean or rude to him but he could still tell that you didn't fully accept him, not as your father at least. But still he would keep trying to win you over.

After your practice, you were walking outside, expecting your mom to pick you up but instead you saw Simon waiting outside for you, waving you over.

"Hey, kid. Hope you don't mind me picking you up today?" he said when you walked up to him.
