5SOS - Babysat By Idiots 2

Chapter 4

I left my iPod on my bed and sighed. I didn't let this fight get to me because this fight was going to blow over by tomorrow. I mean, by tomorrow we'll be texting each other again and forget about the whole thing. So anyway, Calum came upstairs to my room and said, "Okay, Nicole. Me, Luke, and Michael are going outside to clean up a bit. Maybe help the other neighbours clean up too. Ashton's gonna be with you at home, okay?" I nodded and said, "Alright." Then what Riley said to me popped into my head. Spoiled. The guys didn't ask me to help them outside. Does that mean I'm really spoiled? Before Calum left my room, I said, "Wait, Calum!" Calum turned around and said, "What is it?"

Nicole: Umm... I mean, i-if you want, I could come outside and help.

Calum: (smiles) Aww. That's sweet, Nicole, but I think you've seen enough dead animals for one day.

Nicole: Come on, Calum. One bird. I think I handled it pretty well.

Calum: That's alright, Nicole. I don't want to put you to too much work.

Nicole: Why not?

Calum: ... Nicole... Is something wrong? Why do you wanna help so badly?

Nicole: Just because... I need to. I want to help.

Calum: You'll be fine at home, Nicole. Ashton's with you. We won't be long. I'll see you in an hour or so.

Then he left my room before I could say anything else. Man, I really am spoiled. Riley was right. I need to start being... Well, less spoiled I guess.

THE NEXT DAY

I went to class in the morning and saw a new teacher. Huh. Substitute. We'd never seen him before. I went to my seat and sat down. His name was up on the board. Mr. Dehaan. Hmm, interesting name. But kinda spunky. I like it. He said to the class, "Alright, everyone. May I have your attention please?" Everyone turned quiet. "My name is Mr. Dehaan and I will be your new teacher," he said. WHAT?!?!? Everyone started whispering to the people beside them. New teacher? Since when? Jack spoke up and said, "Um, where's Mr. Miller?" Then Mr. Dehaan replied, "Unfortunately, kids, Mr. Miller quit his job last minute due to payment issues." I was shocked. We didn't get to say goodbye or anything. And I can't even believe they got a new teacher that fast. "Now I know this may come as a shock to all of you and it's going to take awhile to get used to this new last minute adjustment, so later today the principle will come in and give you some letters to send home to your parents. Then we will sort this all out. But for now, our priorities are our education so we have to keep it together." That little speech kind of calmed the kids down a bit. We went straight into silent reading. I pulled my book out and started to read. My mind was mainly set on the fact that Mr. Miller was gone. It was shocking. I totally have to text Taylor, Emma, and Jessica tonight to tell them what happened. 5 minutes into reading my book, I got a small folded piece of paper from the person beside me. I opened the piece of paper and it said this:

Omg mr miller's gone! Can u believe it?
- Matt <3

I looked up at Mr. Dehaan to see him writing some stuff at his desk. Good thing he wasn't watching because my intention was to write back to Matthew.

I know right? What do u think? Is it a good thing or a bad thing?
- Nicole <3

I sent it back to Matthew subtlety. I continued to read my book. Throughout reading time, our conversation went back and forth.

In my opinion it's a good thing. Never liked mr Miller anyway HAHA
- Matt <3

Matt don't be rude. I actually liked mr Miller. I'm quite sad cuz we didn't get 2 say goodbye :(
- Nicole <3

Well don't be sad. Mr Dashaan seems like a pretty cool guy ;P
- Matt <3

Matt it's DEHAAN. It's even on the board
- Nicole <3

Whatever. I think I'll like him more than mr Miller and so will u
- Matt <3

I don't think so.
- Nicole <3

Hey don't judge a book by its cover
- Matt <3

Well it seems like that's what I might have did 2 u because clearly this isn't the Matt i knew before
- Nicole

Nicole calm down. And u didn't put a heart beside ur name. :(
- Matt :o

"Excuse me? Girl in the pink? What's your name?" Said Mr. Dehaan. He seemed to be looking at me. My body burned up. Uh oh. I thought to myself, "Please not be wearing pink. Please not be wearing pink. Please not be wearing pink," until I looked down at my shirt and saw I was wearing...
