After 15 minuets worth of squabbling, the gang finally decided who would be the one to call the baby sitting service in Lillian and cancel the girl who was meant to come and look after Layla and her sister. Cary.
"I'm always the one who does this..." Cary grumbled as he picked up the phone and began to dial the number. Everyone else remained silent.
Beep beep...beep beep...Finally, someone answered.
"Oh urm Hi this is Sergeant Waters" Cary began, using his best 'manly' and low voice "Yes, I wish to cancel the baby sitter I hired for this evening...you want my first name?!" Cary suddenly widened his eyes as he held the phone away from his head, he panicked and so did the others.
"Shit! What's his first name?!" Charles' face grew red, they were going to get caught if they didn't get this. They all turned to Alice, who was concentrating very hard in an attempt to remember her friend's dad's name.
"I...I think its either Dylan or Daniel...I don't remember..." she said, shaking her head and Charles sighed loudly.
"Mr Waters?" a voice said from the phone,
"Sergeant Waters, that is!" Cary snapped, attempting to be like the grumpy grey haired man, making everyone giggle except Charles who was freaking out. "Daniel Waters..."
"Sorry we don't have a Daniel Waters on the system..."
"I said Dylan!" Cray quickly changed his mind, slipping out of the deep voice accidently, causing everyone to cringe.
Layla sat on the sofa with her sister, Alexa, waiting for the baby sitter to arrive. Sergeant Waters was looking in the mirror above the fire place adjusting his tie.
"You better behave whilst I'm gone." He said as he finally finished tweaking his uniform. He turned round to face to two girls sat on the brown sofa; Layla wouldn't look him in the eyes. "I trust this young person, who ever they may be, to look after you." He continued, he then purposely turned his gaze to the eldest daughter "I don't want you to abuse my trust in them by inviting any friends over, do you understand?"
"Yes Dad" both of the girls muttered before he grabbed his car keys off the coffee table and sat in his arm chair. A few moments later the door bell finally chimed. Sergeant Waters went to answer the door but before leaving he softly told them "I'll see you at 11." before finally leaving. Both of the girls looked at each other, wondering who they were stuck with for the evening. The door clicked shut and the baby sitter finally entered the room.
She was slim and blonde with a rather bored expression on her face, she wore denim shorts and a flannel shirt buttoned up. She sighed
"Which one of you is Layla?" the sisters remained silent before Layla introduced them both. "Cool. Can I use your phone?" Layla showed he where it was, in the kitchen, and within 5 minuets with her calling, the doorbell rang again. The blonde girl who looked about 18 went to answer the door. There was a loud bang and a scream, Layla and Alexa exchanged puzzled looks.
"OH MY GOD! WHAT THE HELL CARY?!" A voice Layla recognised immediately yelled out, she jumped up from the sofa and ran into the hall. Stood in the door way were he friends Alice, Preston, Joe, Charles, Martin and of course Cary.
"Hey Layla, just thought I'd enter with a bang" he winked at her as he held a lighter in his hand with the remains of a fire cracker on the porch floor. The gang all went into the living room and all raced to the sofas. Everyone managed to fit them self on apart from one...
"What the hell?!" Martin complained as he had to sit on the floor, everyone burst out laughing as they began to chat and mess around whilst Jen decided it would be best to chill out in the kitchen, Alexa joining her to have some girly chats.
Jen and Alexa sat at the breakfast table in the yellow kitchen away from all the chaos in the room next door. After a few moments of awkwardness, Jen got up to make her self a cup of coffee and as she did, she finally broke the silence.
"So, you got a boyfriend?" she said as she looked in the cupboards for the coffee and a mug. Alexa looked a bit dazed by the question but was happy enough to reply.
"No. I'm only 12." She said looking down at her hands, Jen had finally found the things she needed and begun to make her drink.
"Oh...at your age I had two..." Jen shrugged as she flicked the kettle on "You want a cup?" she turned to face Alexa who was playing with her dark platted hair, she shook her head and Jen turned back to making her drink.
"Ever had a boy friend before?"
"Not really..."
"Not really? I thought it'd be a yes or no question" Jen chuckled and Alexa did too, she then began to explain,
"Well, I went steady with a guy in my year but all we did was go to the cinema once. It was just like being friends really."
"Oh." Jen then brought her drink with her as she sat opposite the young girl at the breakfast table. "Got your eye on anyone?" she winked at Alexa who began to blush and shook her head again, they both began to giggle and Jen took a sip of her coffee before leaning in closer to whisper "want to know a few tips on how to get guys?" Jen raised an eye brown and Alexa paid close attention to the advice she was about to be given.
"Guys! There's something we still haven't done yet!" Alice beamed after they had just witnessed the funniest fight between Cary and Charles yet, Charles let Cary out of a head lock and they looked confused,
"What?" Joe replied as he smiled sweetly at her
"We haven't got a group picture yet" she smiled again; she began to rummage through her bag, looking for her camera. Charles went to fetch Jen to take the photo for them as everyone else got into position. She took the camera from Alice as they all posed for the photo. There was a sharp flash and the entire group complained about its brightness before Jen returned to her gossip with Alexa.
"I'll get this processed as soon as I can! But First I need to use up the rest of the film!" She smiled mischievously as they began to take funny photos, and some embarrassing ones, of each other.
The roar of an engine was heard coming from outside the house as lights shone through the thin curtains of the front door. Sergeant Waters had returned home.
"My dad's back!" Layla panicked as the group gathered up their belongings as fast as they could, running into the kitchen to leave through the back door. The front door clicked open and the kids weren't out the house yet and so Jen began to distract him as Alexa ran up to bed. Layla was downstairs making sure they got out the back door ok.
"Mr Waters" Jen welcomed the man as he put down his briefcase in the hall. She smiled and he returned the smile.
"Hello. How were they?"
"Absolute angels" she said unconvincingly, he looked at her in suspicion but nodded his head and shook it off,
"Good." Layla then left the kitchen and joined them in the hall, a glass of water in hand. "Why aren't you in bed?" he snapped and Layla calmly replied
"I was getting some water. Goodnight Jen, thanks for baby sitting us. Good night dad" she quickly ran up the stairs and into her room, she opened and looked out of her bedroom window to see them all outside waving to her, she waved back.
"HE FANCIES YOU!" Cary yelled out as he pointed to Preston, who quickly jumped on him to get him to shut up as the others laughed, they heard the front door open as Sergeant Waters flung the door open to see what the commotion was. They quickly ran off in different directions, not being caught by the Sergeants eye. Layla suddenly began questioning what had just happened in her mind, hoping it was true but feeling like she knew that it wasn't.
