Babe.

5.

Benny.

I sighed, this was the last thing I wanted to do.

Yeah-yeah who had noticed my reaction rolled his eyes, "it's her or nothing. We've already asked everyone else your parents would trust to do it and if she doesn't then you can't come."

I groaned, this would be such a nightmare. I walked down the hallway before tapping Blanca on the shoulder, she turned around her smile twisting into a scowl when she saw me, "what would you like to insult about me today asshole?"

Not a good start, but still I wanted to go to the party tonight and I knew Blanca wasn't going because my girlfriend was throwing the party and had made sure Blanca knew that she was very much not invited, although I doubted she would have come anyways. Either way it didn't help matters much.

"I need a favour." Words I never thought I'd say to her, "I need you to babysit my brother."

Blanca frowned, "isn't he twelve?"

I nodded, "yeah he is, but he almost burnt the house down trying to make pasta two weeks ago so my parents don't trust him on his own."

She shrugged, "sure. What time should I be there?"

Now that I had not been expecting. "Wait, you'll really do it? You're not just saying it so that you can bail on my and I'll look like an ass?"

Blanca scoffed, "I'm not you. Besides I have nothing against your brother it's you who I don't like. Just tell me what time I should show up and if he has any allergies."

I shook my head, "nah Ty isn't allergic to anything. And be there at seven."

She nodded, "see you there." And with that Blanca walked off down the hallway her boots clacking against the plastic. And skirt swaying around her legs.

That had been... surprisingly easy.

She probably wouldn't agree as quickly a second time though, not after she actually spent time with my little dick of a younger brother. Ty hated people, other than his two best friends and us (even that was rare) he thought talking to the was a waste of time.

And Blanca being little miss get to know everyone would not fair well with him. He could be insanely rude when he was irritated by someone.

I felt someone put their arms around my from behind, "Benny? Why were you talking to Blanca Rivera?" Denise asked her voice trying to hide the fact that she might rip my head off if I answered wrong. Her jealousy was starting to piss me off to be honest.

"She's baby sitting Ty for me." I replied offhandedly, "so I can come to your party."

"Oh." She replied her voice pinched, "well... good."

Good indeed it was a miracle she'd even agreed to help after what a massive ass I'd been to her about the project.

Blanca.

When I showed up at the Rodriguez's house I could tell Benny was itching to leave. He practically bolted out the door as soon as I was inside.

I closed the door behind me and went to go find Ty, he was sitting on the couch watching F1. He was different to his brothers, while both Benny and Nico were dark skinned with dark hair and eyes. Ty was a lot lighter, his hair was golden blonde and his eyes were blue, he didn't tan like his brothers either he was mostly golden rather than brown.

Not to mention he was a lot less loud and social than his brothers too, in all fairness he was only twelve but still I had perfected the art of reading people and I was pretty sure I had him down.
