The Thirlwall Sisters

An extra hand

Olivia's POV

I rolled off my bed to wake myself up. OUCH! That was actually the painful way. I got up while holding my head. Know u know not to do that ever again. Like seriously. I walked over to my closet. Picked out something that I could wear today. There! I got ready  and then went to the bathroom to wash my face.

I got up and walked downstairs. "Good morning." Jade said. "Morning." I sat down at the table with my breakfast. I sighed. "What do we do?" I asked. She looked at me. "I don't know. We should just do some brain storming." She said. I nodded my head. I put my breakfast away and then got a marker an a sheet of paper. "Okay, let's start." I told her. She nodded her head and then we started to shout out some ideas.

"Volunteering at a library?" She said. I nodded my head and wrote it down. "Babysitting?" She nodded her head and then write it down. Then we jotted a few more ideas down. There! We have 5 things on the list so far.

"So this is what we are going to do right now?" I asked. "Yep. And we will try to find the best places. First let's start with babysitting." She said. I nodded my head. Okay. I ran up stairs and went on my laptop. Maybe there is something for it online? I don't know. It's worth a try.

As I was looking through things, Jade shouted, "I'm going to the store! Need anything?!"
"No! I'm fine!!" I shouted back. Is there anything here? I sighed and then closed my laptop. This is really hard! I sighed in frustration. I rested my head on my pillow and then took a quick nap.

"Olivia! Olivia!" Jade shouted in my ear. I shot up from my bed and glared at her. "What?!" I said. "The lady next door, you know, Ms. Lanor, said that we can babysit her 3 sons tomorrow since she has work!" Jade exclaimed. My frown quickly turned into a smile. "Ahh! That's great!! But, what time tomorrow?" I asked. "At 12:00 am." She said. I nodded my head. We've got a busy day ahead of us.

"Are you almost ready?" Jade asked me. I nodded my head and then put on my shoes and walked out the door with her. We walked over to the house beside ours. Then I knocked on the door. "Hello girls." She said sweetly. We smiled. "Hello." We said. Then she let us in. "I'll be back soon! Bye!" She said and then left.

Me and Jade walked into the living room. There were three boys. Timmy, who was 5. Nick, who was 10. And Kyle, who is 13. "Hey guys!" Jade said. They stared at us. This is awkward. "What do you want to do?" I asked. "Fight!!" Timmy said. "What!? No!" We both shouted. Timmy and Nick started to tackle Kyle. "Oh no!" Jade said. I cleared my throat. "Okay, stop the fighting!" I shouted. No one listened. I looked at jade for help.

She rand to the kitchen and grabbed to pans and smashed them together. They finally stopped. Thank god! "Stop the fighting! It isn't necessary." She said. The boys looked down. As Jade was about to smile, Nick took a pillow and hit her head with it. "Hey!" Jade shouted. She got upset. "Stop now!" She said. The boys laughed. Oh boy. "War!!" They all shouted. Not again! They started throwing pillows at us. All we did was try to block them. "Why us this so hard!?" I asked. "It just is!" She answered.

After a few hours of war, everything was cleaned up and the boys were watching t.v. "I'm glad that's over." I said. Jade nodded her head. "Yeah, same here. Boys are tough." She said. I slowly nodded my head.

Then the door opened. "I'm home!" She said. "Mommy!" The boys cheered. Me and Jade smiled and walked over there. "Girls, thank you for looking after them." She said. "Your welcome." I said. Ms. Lanor gave us $15 dollars each. "Thank you." Jade said. She smiled at us. Then we began to walk out the door. "Bye!" We said. "Bye!" She called and her sons waved bye. We waved back.

In our luck, mum was home. "Hi mum." I said. She smiled. Then me and Jade got out the money and gave it to her. "We got this from babysitting." Jade said. "Awe, thank you girls." She said and hugged us. It took a lot to fighting for that money.
This was definitely one crazy day.
