The Perfect Dilemma

Babysitting

After spending a lot of time with the boys, I started to feel more like part of their small family.

They're all really cool but I especially have a soft spot for Angel. Between you and me, I especially love her when she's annoying Jason.

I was walking to my locker the next day when I heard a voice calling me from behind. When I turned around I saw Mark making his way towards me before stopping I front of me.

'Hey', I said in greeting before I started walking towards my locker again.

'Hey Sophie. How's the training schedule for today?', he asked as he followed my pace.

'Well I drafted it out over the weekend but I might still make some minor differences before we get to the field', I stopped in front of my locker opening it to get my books while Mark rested on the locker beside mine.

'Working hard as always I see'.

I gave him a teasing smile, 'Well someone has to'.

'You know as much as I do that the team's working really hard', he huffed.

'True. Looks like they're motivated after our win but I heard our next match is going to be really tough. Think you can handle it cap?' I said closing my locker turning to give him a slight smirk.

'Depends... Can you handle a movie with me this Saturday?', he suddenly said grinning when he saw my temporary shock.

I was definitely not expecting that and I especially didn't expect what I said next.

'Is that a challenge Huxley?'

'Do you think you're up for it Fox?' he said leaning closer.

'Sure. What time are you picking me up?', I said.

'Bold of you to assume I'm picking you up'.

'Bold of you to assume you're not'.

'I'll pick you up at noon', he said straitening up before turning to leave, 'See you later Sophie'.

Almost immediately he left the guys appeared, 'Took you long enough', Ash said.

'What?'

'He asked you out , didn't he?', Ty said.

'Yeah...'

'What did you say?', Jason asked.

'Well I said yes?', I answered.

'Why does it sound like a question?', Jason asked.

'I don't know, I'm trying to comprehend what just happened'.

'Well that's easy. You just got a date with one of the captains of the football team', Ash said resting his arm on my shoulder.

'Expected but wrong captain', Ty mumbled.

'So when's the date?', Ash asked.

'Saturday. We're going to the movies', I answered.

'But you promised to babysit Angel while I pick up something on Saturday', Jason said.

'Oh right... Can Ash and Ty do it?', I said.

'Sorry but no can do. We're going on a kind of family trip this weekend', Ty said.

'I'm going to see my sister', Ash said.

'And I'm going to visit my grandmother', Ty said.

'Oh...', I said solemnly.

'I guess I could find someone else before Saturday', Jason said, his shoulders slumping slightly.

'I'm really sorry', I said feeling bad.
