Margarite was a well behaved and dedicated young woman. Not only did she do well in her classes at high school, she was also on the track team. During the summer time, she had no scheduled practices to go to, but she still liked to go on runs and bike rides during the off season to stay in shape. However, as it was the off season, she'd indulge herself a lot more with the frequent bbq's, eating out, and more snacking around the house. In spite of her gaining a few pounds over the summer, she was still in really good shape from being active, and so even though her waist was fairly small, her perky butt was well-shaped.

Margarite's phone vibrated, and by its duration, she new it was a text message. Being a modern teenager, all her friends talked with her through snapchat or discord, so it wasn't often that someone would send her an actual text message. Intrigued as to who it was from, she reached for it from off the coffee table in front of where she was sitting.

"Hi Margarite, Jack and I were wondering if you'd be available this Friday night to babysit Joshua for a few hours? If not, then that's totally fine. I hope you're having a great day!"

When she opened her phone and looked at the notification, Margarite saw that the message was from Monica, who was a family friend from their local church congregation. Monica and Jack grew up in the generation when it was starting to become common to have a phone, just not a smart phone. Like those older flip or slide phones that had keyboards with actual buttons on them, so it makes sense why they didn't use snapchat to message her. Margarite thought for a moment trying to remember if she had anything planned yet for Friday night, but she couldn't think of anything going on. She responded yes, since it would be a good opportunity to make some money, especially with their young child, Joshua. She already knew him a little bit from her family having dinner at Jack and Monica's house a couple times, and he seemed like a relatively easy-going little kid.

"Perfect! We're planning on leaving at 6, so if you could come over just a few minutes before that, that'd be great, I'll give you the complete run-down then. We'll be back around 9, so does $35 sound good to you?"

"Yup, that sounds great! I'll see you then."

Now some people may think of $35 as not being enough for three hours of work, but Margarite was fine with it. As a 16-year-old, she hadn't ever had an actual job before, and its not like babysitting one child for a few hours was hard anyways. Jack and Monica were nice people, and Margarite had always felt welcome in their home. After thinking about it for a few minutes, Margarite actually started to feel excited to be able to help them out AND get paid for it. "This is going to be great!" she thought to herself.

The days of the weeks went by pretty quickly, I guess that's what happens when you're not doing much other than just chilling and rocking an occasional work out. When Friday evening came around, Margarite got herself ready to go babysit Joshua for Jack and Monica by taking a shower and getting dressed in T-shirt and some black leggings (even though it was summer time, she always felt a little cold in Monica's house because of the strong AC). No makeup tonight though, babysitting isn't really that type of occasion. Her mother drove her over, and in just a few minutes she was dropped off in front of their house.

Several seconds after ringing the doorbell, Monica opened the door and welcomed her inside. As she had been over plenty of times, and Monica and Jack were still getting ready, Margarite casually sat on the couch next to Joshua and waited until they were ready to leave.

Once they were both ready, Monica called Margarite over and started explaining all she needed to know in order to watch over Joshua for those few hours. She gave the normal info, such as what to do if he falls or gets hurt, who to call in an emergency, etc. Other things she mentioned were,

"Joshua isn't quite potty-trained yet, so he can just stay in his diaper while we're gone. Don't worry about changing him or anything, we won't be gone long, plus he usually only messes in the morning anyways. I think that's all the rest I needed to tell you, Margarite, do you have any questions?"
