You wake up about 2 hours later to knocking on your door. Your mom comes in to tell you to get ready for dinner at the Heffleys. You can tell she wants to make a good impression. You forget all about the dinner so you get right up and shower. You get dressed in your favorite jeans and random tee along with with an old pair of sneakers . You fix your hair in the bathroom trying to look decent and throw on a jacket before leaving with your parents. You all make your way to the Heffley house, being neighbors it's a conveniently close short walk. You get to the front door and your dad rings the door bell. The door opens; Mrs.Heffley is standing there with a man to her side, most likely this is Mr.Heffley. "Hello!!" Mrs.Heffley says with a bright smile. "Please come in dinner is almost ready" she steps inside waving you and your parents in. The house is cozy like yours but smells great from the dinner Mrs.Heffley is preparing. Manny's sitting on the floor of the living room playing with some building blocks and another boy is sitting on the couch playing video games. He looks younger than you probably 13 or 14. "This is my husband Frank and of course you know manny, and this is another of our sons. Greg!!" The boy looks up when she says his name in a stern voice he gets up from te couch to say hello to you and your parents. "Hi I'm Y/N" you say to him with a smile being polite he returns the hello and shakes your hand. Your parents get aquatinted with the Heffleys getting along with them pretty quickly. You also get along with Greg considering the 4 year age difference but he's cool so you don't mind becoming friends with him. It's soon time for dinner and you all sit at the dinner table. You sit next to Greg on one side of the table and your parents on the other side while Frank and Susan sitting heads of the table with manny sitting next to Susan and your mother. There's an empty chair next to you but you don't think anything of it, it could just be an extra. "Where's Rodrick" Mr. Heffley asks seeming annoyed with this Rodrick person. "Rodrick come down it's time for dinner!!" Mrs. Heffley yells in the direction of the stairs. A door opens and slams shut from up the stairs. Someone comes running down stairs through the hallway and into the dining room. "Finally" he breathes out freezing instantly seeing your parents and you sitting there. He's tall and sort of lanky with messy dark brown hair. He's wearing faded black skinny jeans and a band tee slightly tucked behind his belt. As soon as your eyes fall on him you can't take them off. Hes beyond cute. "Who are these people" he asks confused looking at his parents and around the table catching your gaze. You quickly look back down at your plate hoping he didn't notice you staring. "Rodrick, these are the Y/LN's, they just moved in next door so we invited them for dinner to welcome them." Mrs. Heffley replies to him giving him that 'be polite' look. "Oh um uh hi" he says looking around the table and giving a little wave after breaking from his confusion. "It's very nice to meet you Rodrick" your mom says with a warm smile. He slumps into the empty seat next to you and starts filling his plate like he's starving. He reaches for a dish next to you slightly getting his face in yours. He smirks at you as he reaches away from it. Your face warms up so you just look back down at your plate. Your parents go back to conversating and laughing with the Heffleys. You pick around at your plate enjoying the dinner but not feeling too hungry after the long day. "Hey you wanna watch this scary movie The Foot after dinner?" You look up to see Greg now looking at you with a smile on his face. You return the smile "yeah sure". He goes back to his plate and happily keeps eating his food. You go back to focus on yours until you hear a "Hey". You look up in your other direction to see Rodrick now looking at you with a cheeky smile. "Hi" you say shyly trying not to look in the eyes cause you could feel your face getting red with nervousness. "I'm Rodrick"; he's now turned in your direction leaning his side against his chair resting his elbow on the top of it sort of man spreading. It would've annoyed you if it was anyone else but he looks so good sat like that. " I'm Y/N". He leans in a bit closer and you tense up not knowing what he's doing, "So where are you from?" Him being a bit more intrigued. You look down at your plate. You never liked hearing that question. After moving so much where you came from didn't really matter anymore. "I'm from here and there" you say quietly. "Oh a woman of mystery" he pauses for a little while and leans in closer "I like that" he whispers. Chills run down your body. Just then the tension broke when you hear your dad happily exclaim "well Mrs. Heffley that dinner was great". You look up from your plate to now see Rodrick sitting back in his chair and your parents starting to get up from the table. "Oh please stay for dessert Mr. and Mrs. Y/LN". "We would love to" your mom says looking over at you and your dad. You all get up from the table your parents going into the living room with the Heffleys, you following Greg upstairs to watch this supposed scary The Foot. You could feel eyes following you and Greg, not from your parents but from Rodrick. Greg's room is small but it's cool. He puts the movie on and you both sit on the bed. The movies good but you just can't stop thinking about what happened with Rodrick. "Hey is your brother always so weird" you ask abruptly. Greg turns to you with wide eyes, "why what'd he do to you?" "Nothing, he just seems a little weird" you shrug your shoulders not knowing how to describe it to him. "I mean yeah he's weird but he's more of an asshole if anything" Greg says in a jokingly tone but you could tell he meant it. The door swings open and you both jump looking at it. "Hey I heard that you little shit"; it's Rodrick looking pissed holding onto the door knob. "No no no Rodrick I didn't mean it" Greg pleads sounding actually scared by it. "Say it again and you're dead" Rodrick scolds looking straight a Greg. As he leaves he closes the door slowly winking at you before fully closing it. "Holy shit, are you ok?" You put a hand on Greg's shoulder worried with just happened. "Yeah I'm ok it happens all the time, it's just what older siblings do" he sighs trying to shake off the fear. You both sit in silence for the rest of the movie until it was time to go. You give Greg your number so you can keep in touch. You meet your parents in the living room saying their good byes to the Heffleys "Oh Y/N your parents were telling me a bit more about your baby sitting history" Mrs. Heffley says holding Manny and smiling as usual. You look at you parents wishing they didn't talk and brag so much about you to. "Yes I did it in the summer where we used to live before we moved" you say sheepishly wanting to leave those memories behind. "Well I was wondering if you wouldn't mind babysitting Manny for us this weekend? We've been looking for someone but everyone is so busy and we really would like to finally spend time alone for our anniversary" Mrs. Heffley says smiling at Mr. Heffley. "We'll pay you and everything" Mr. Heffley chimes in. You think about it. It wouldn't be so bad getting back into it and making some money becoming the Heffleys babysitter when they needed. "Yes I'll be more than happy to" you force a smile at her trying to make yourself happy to do it. "That's great!! Thank you so much" she says excitedly looking at her husband with that same excitement. "We'll let you know what time to come over and everything else you'll need to know." "Sounds good. Can't wait" you say sealing the deal on it. The Heffleys thank your parents and you for coming, you bye to Greg and Manny but no Rodrick in sight. Good. Seriously there was something with him you don't know to describe. Yeah he's hot but there's something different with him, not to mention he's an asshole like Greg said; but you're gonna try not to think about it or him for the rest of the week.
