"Big Toy by Confusion. That's it, we got all five," Brenda exclaims. Her, Bree, and Kelly were lying on her bed, trying their best to win a prize for getting five songs right in a row. Kelly tells her to dial the number, crawling up next to them. "Hello?" She says, making Kelly and Bree's faces light up. "Brandon, get off the phone!" She yells out, hanging up. Brandon walks into the room, an annoyed look on his face.
"Brenda, you can't keep tying up the phone lines every afternoon." Brenda rolls her eyes at him.
"Why? Who are you so desperate to call anyway?" Brandon's face flushes, making Bree smirk.
"Just a girl." He then walks away, making the three girls look at each other with a smile on their faces. They leap out of the bed, Bree grabbing his arm.
"Who is it? We didn't know this was a date call." Brandon rolls his eyes at Kelly's words.
"It's not. I met her at lunch. She dropped her Latin paper." Bree scrunches up her nose in disgust.
"Who would wanna date a girl that takes Latin?" Brandon sighs, turning around.
"A bizarre concept, I realise."
"So is love, come on." Kelly says, dragging his arm so that he would sit on the bed with them. She takes the phone, asking for her number.
"I don't even know what to say."
"Try e pluberis unum." Bree said, making them all raise a brow at her.
"How do you know that?"
"It's on money."
"555-4449." Brandon said, making Kelly excitedly type it into his phone.
"In this case, I think you should use the surprise approach. Don't give her any small talk, just ask. That way she doesn't have time to think about it." Brandon looked at her, really confused.
"Don't be cocky, though."
"Why? A little bit of cocky's good."
"Cocky guys are jerks." Brenda said, shaking her head. The three of them start shouting advice at him, before someone answers the phone. Kelly hands it to him, and he lies down, his sisters on either side of him.
"Hi, Melissa? It's Brandon," Kelly sits behind him, an expectant look on her face. "I met you under the tree at lunch today." Kelly rolls her eyes at his stalling.
"Cut the small talk, you're giving her time to think." Brandon rolls his eyes, beginning to stammer as he stands up.
"Look, I'm really only calling you for two reasons. One, I have the Latin paper you left behind. Don't worry, I didn't understand a word of it. Two, I wanted to know if you're free for dinner on Friday night. Babysitting, huh? Well...how about Saturday night? Babysitting again." He says, looking back at his sisters.
"Hang up before you humiliate yourself any further." Kelly whispers.
"Nobody babysits that much." Bree said, chuckling softly.
"Come on, Melissa. Nobody babysits that much. If you don't wanna go out with me, why don't you just say so?" He stands up, while Bree raises a brow at him. That came out a bit rude. "Really? You think you could? Yeah, that'd be great. Yeah, your address is in the student directory. How about...8:00?" He then hangs up, a big smile on his face. "She said that she'd find a replacement."
"You totally busted her. My brother, the stud." Bree says, leaning to punch his arm. He sat down in the corner chair, a hesitant look on his face.
"I don't know, guys. What if she really did have to babysit?"
