Next Day at School...
I walked into school with Ethan listening to him moan and complain about how Aunt Sam got him a babysitter, though once Benny heard about it he was quite amused "A babysitter for you? Classic" he exclaimed laughing "Keep it down man. This kind of info could totally ruin a guys rep" Ethan said "You boy's and your stupid rep's" I muttered rolling my eyes
"And anyway it's not for me. It's for Jane" Ethan added trying to feel less embarassed about the whole situation "Well on the positive side one of these premo High school babes could totally be at your house tonight" Benny said, I watched in amusement as he winked at different girls but they completely ignored him "God Benny ease on the flirting" I said rolling my eyes
"Bailey if you want my attention all yah gotta do is ask" he said before winking at me, I smiled a little and Ethan punched him in the shoulder "Dude" "What?" Benny asked innocently while rubbing his shoulder "That's my cousin" Ethan exclaimed motioning to be "Yeah and she's hot" Benny replied with raised eyebrows
"Don't wanna know. Anyways all I know is that her names Erica and she goes to this school. With any luck I can talk my parents out of it by tonight" Ethan said shrugging "Hey Principal Hicks. Lemme give you a hand" A male voice said from behind me, I looked back to see the principal taping up some 'Missing' posters and a bunch of guys stood next to him
"Thank you Jesse" Hicks said as Jesse held his coffee cup "Anything for our fearless leader. D'you mind?" Jesse asked, my eyes widened slightly as Jesse took a long drink of Hicks's coffee while the principal just watched "Ah french roast" Jesse said
"French roast" Hicks repeated his eyes locked with Jesse's "Good choice" Jesse said handing him the cup "Good choice" Hicks said as though in a trance, Jesse turned and gave us an' amused look before walking away with the rest of the guys, Hicks looked around in confusion for a moment before chuckling our way
"Boys in the drama club always making a scene" he said, I nodded and the boy's chuckled a little "Anyway" I sang turning to face them again "I'm gonna go find my class. See you at lunch?" I asked hopefully, they both nodded and I headed to class.
Lunch Time...
I was sat at the table waiting for the boys to turn up when I heard a loud clanging noise, I looked back to see Ethan stood with his eyes wide and a girl next to him with sauce stains on her shirt "Dork. Thank you so much" she said annoyed before walking to her own table
"Oh God Ethan" I muttered, I left my tray and I walked over to where the girl was sat "Hey. I'm really sorry about my cousin" I said shrugging slightly, she smiled a little "Don't worry about it. You're new aren't you?" she asked motioning to the seat in front of her, I nodded and sat down
"Yeah. My names Bailey" I replied "Sarah" she said "Where have you been? I've been texting you all morning" I looked up to see a blonde girl with glasses holding a clipboard "Oh what happened to your shirt?" she asked sitting next to Sarah "My cousin spilled his food on her" I said, the girls attention turned to me "Who are you?" she asked confused "I'm Bailey. New girl" I clarified, she nodded in understanding
"I'm Erica" she said before turning back to Sarah "Guess what? I already have 200 tickets sold for the screening" she squealed "Only 7 more days, I think if I had to wait 8 more days instead of 7 more days I would go crazy" My eyes widened slightly at her enthusiasm "Yeah. Me too" Sarah replied a little less eager "You skipped math today. Were you with Jesse?" Erica asked curiously, Sarah sighed
"Yes" Though she didn't seem to be very happy about it "If I had a cute boyfriend I'd totally skip class too" Erica exclaimed, Sarah gave her a look of disbelief "What I would! D'you think you're the only one who get's to break the rules?" Erica asked shaking her head "No but you're a good girl" Sarah said, I blanked them out and looked around the cafeteria for the boys, I spotted them a few feet away watching us
"So Bailey. Tell us about yourself" Erica said both of them turning to me, I looked back at them and thought for a moment "Okay well I have 5 younger sisters. I moved here from California two months ago, my favourite color is blue and I think vampires are awesome" I replied resting my arms on the table "I think you and I will be great friends" she said smiling,
I noticed Sarah tense up when I mentioned the vampire thing but I shook it off, we talked a bit more until Benny suddenly came over and sat next to me "Hi there. Are you by any chance babysitting the Morgan's tonight?" he asked looking at Erica, she nodded "Yeah, why d'you know their kids?" she asked hopefully "Yeah one of them's my buddy. Sitting right over there" he said looking over at his table, we looked to see Ethan hiding his face in embarrasment
"He's a bit shy. See you round" Benny said standing from his chair, he quickly pecked my cheek "Later Bail's" he said before going back to his table, I giggled and turned to the girls "Boyfriend?" Sarah asked slightly amused, I shook my head "Friend. Anyway's Erica I'll probably be at the Morgan house tonight. I live there with my cousin' I said, she sighed in relief
"Thank god. I'm a little nervous about babysitting kids I don't know and this is my first time" she said nervously, I shrugged "Don't worry about it, Ethan will probably stay up in his room sulking and all Jane likes to do is watch 'Dusk' and play dress up. You'll be fine" I reasured, she nodded and we talked until the bell rang signalling the end of lunch.
