"Bye Mom. Bye Dad. Have fun in Hawaii. I know I love you too. I'll behave I promise. XOXO take lots of pictures love ya." Quinn ended the call and placed her phone on the counter. Parents in Hawaii plus strange old friend of theirs to babysit her wasn't exactly the perfect recipe for Freshman year.
Well that doesn't mean I'm giving up. I don't give up easily. This year will be perfect even if I have to sneak out every night behind the old guys back.
"When's he going to get here?" Quinn groaned. Her parents had said she could order pizza for dinner, but she'd waited for the guy to get here and now she was starving.
Get here, get here, get here. Quinn willed.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
"Wha?" Quinn lifted her head off the counter and realized she'd fallen asleep. She checked her phone clock: 12:00AM. Now she was really hungry.
bangbangbangbangbangbangbang BAM!
It sounded like a little kid was trying to beat the door down.
"I'm coming!" Quinn yelled and walked through the living room as soon as her hand touched the door knob the knocking started again. Quinn threw the door open and the kid that was knocking on the door fell into the living room.
"What? Who are you?" Quinn demanded. If he was here to rob her, she'd punch his lights out! "What are you wearing?" she blurted. Quinn was exactly fashion oriented, but she knew better then to wear an orange tracksuit with blue sandals like it was some kind of fashion statement.
The boy stood up and she noticed the weird stripes on his cheeks, like cat whiskers.
"I am Naruto Uzumaki and I am starving!"
Before Quinn could respond another head poked through the doorway. She'd been standing behind the door in case the had to shut it quickly and hadn't noticed anyone else outside. And this guy was definitely a bandit, he had a mask on the lower half of his face and a headband covering one of his eyes.
"Hello, Quinn. Sorry I'm late, we ran into some traffic on the way here," he said cheerfully.
"What? That's not how it happened at all!" Naruto screamed.
"I'm Kakashi, your babysitter and I hope you don't mind I brought a few of my students. Your parents said it would be alright."
Kakashi stepped in followed by two dozen teenagers around Quinn's age.
What? My parents said this was okay? My parents know this guy?
"Um, I better call my parents and let them know you here," Quinn said nervously.
"Alright, I'll order pizza. Your parents said you like sausage, is that okay?"
Quinn streaked the kitchen, grabbed her phone of the counter, and barricaded herself in her room without replying. After locking herself in her closet she feverishly dialed her Mom's number.
"Come on, come on! Pick up!" Quinn muttered shooting nervous glances at the door.
"Hello?" Quinn's mom answered after the billionth ring.
"Mom, some weird guy is here with a bunch of freaky teens and he says he's my babysitter. What should I do?" Quinn asked.
"What? Is his name Kakashi?"
"Yeah-wait, this is the babysitter?"
"Yeah, I know he's weird, but he's from Japan so give him a break."
"No Mom, it's more then that. He wears this weird ski mask and headband and he has this kid with an orang jumpsuit and-"
"Alright Quinn, you got me. He's also a ninja."
This was some kind of sick joke. This guy was no ninja. Her parents didn't know ninja and besides they weren't real.
"Trust me, Quinn, he's a ninja. We met him on our honeymoon trip to Japan. If you read any of his books I'll kill you. but he's really a nice man."
"Oooooooooookay."
"Love you dear."
"Mom, wait-" but her mom had already hung up the phone.
Suddenly weirdo Kakashi appeared in her room in a cloud of smoke. Quinn fanned it away and choked.
"The pizza's here," the 'ninja' said brightly.
"Get out of my room I've never been so violated in my entire life-wait, it is?" Quinn's stomach growled and the smell of sausage pizza wafted up the her. So she did what she was good at and made a split second decision. She'd go with it.
"This is Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro." Creepy, scary, weird. "Shikamaru, Ino, and Chouji." Did he lick a car battery for that sort of hair? Maybe cool, but dressed kind of like a mummy. A little overweight. "Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura." Orange freak from the door. Maybe a little cute? Pink hair? That matches her outfit? "Kiba, Akamaru, Shino, and Hinata." Weird Jacket, dog, creep. shy. "Tenten, Neji, and Rock Lee." Weird hair, long hair and crazy looking eyes, nerd.
"Do you think you can teach them to act like normal people?" Kakashi asked after the introductions.
Instead of answering I repeatedly hit my head on the counter, but not for very long because the pizza smelled good.
