The flyers were up, the positions were set, and we were ready for our very first BSC meeting. Me, being Haley Braddock, outstanding vice-president, began to set out snacks and tidy up my room a bit. I made my bed and dusted off the framed pictures on my wall. I rushed downstairs to get a plate of chocolate chip cookies and brownies from the oven. I made a face at Matt as he sat watching television, stuffing one potato chip in my mouth after another. I thrust a carton of milk into his hand and he made a face, helping me up to my room. Placing the baked goods on a little table in my room, I rushed downstairs to get some food for Vanessa. She's a vegetarian and doesn't eat any junk food. I cut up some apples and placed them around a bowl sugar-free caramel dip. I put that in my room and just as I was turning on Norah Jones (she's neutral music, everyone likes her), the doorbell rang. Becca and Charlotte were at the door, each carrying a bag of chips and a bottle of soda. "Hey guys, bring the food up there and just hang out." I said, my arms full. They both nodded and headed upstairs. Vanessa was next and SHE was carrying some veggies and dip. I groaned, we had way too much food. Becca was already fooling around in my chair. "I, as president," she said with an eager grin. "Call this meeting of the BSC to order!" We all clapped. "Any new business?" she asked. Vanessa raised her hand. "Well, you guys know the twins, right? Terri and Tammy? They go to Stoneybrook Academy." We all nodded. "Well, they baby- sit in my neighborhood and I think they would be interesting in joining." Becca nodded. "They're cool, I like them. Anyone opposition?" We all shook our heads. "Well, if they want, Terri and Tammy are going to become members of our club!" We all cheered. It was about five minutes before the end of the meeting when the phone rang. We all sat there, frozen in surprise. "Will someone answer the phone already?" Mom yelled from downstairs. We all started giggling uncontrollably, holding our stomachs as we rolled on the floor. "I'll get it." Charlotte giggled. "Hello, this is the Johansson Residence." I turned beet red. "I mean...umm...hello Baby-Sitter's Club." Charlotte nodded. "Okay, we'll call you right back." Charlotte reached for the record book and settled back on my bed. "Okay there are two kids. Lee, a little boy one years old and Annie, she's six. Their parents are Albert and Renee Christiansen. They live on 45 Brookston Road. By you, Becca. And the job would be twice a week for a month." Charlotte thumbed through the record book. "Well, Becca has voice lessons and Haley you have an orthodontist appointment. It's between you and me Vanessa." Vanessa frowned. "I really need to work on a poem." Charlotte nodded. "Okay, then, it's all mine!" We all smiled. "We had our first job!"
