It's Not Hard to Pretend to Love You

It's Not Hard to Pretend to Love You: 16

The next few days of me and Blake being 'together' were really funny and enjoyable and fun. Funny because the people in school were really shocked and surprised when they saw me and Blake. They were shocked because the two people in the world whom they can't expect to stand being with each other in a same room and thinking that Blake and I share the same air to breathe makes us suffocate would be walking down the halls hand-in-hand. Their faces were like 0_o... haha! They were really funny to watch!

Enjoyable and fun because I discovered that Blake was really a funny and hyper guy once you get to know him better. We were now comfortable with each other so that's really a great improvement between us. I really didn't expect that Blake and I would really go well together even though we were just pretending to be together. We were playing it like its real and if I didn't know better, I might be falling for him hard. But I have to control myself because if not, I'd be in a big trouble.

Finally, today is Friday. Oh thank God, the week's about to close.

"Yo Syd, wanna come to our house and hang-out tonight?" Jean asked me as we went to our last class for the day.

"Nah sorry, I can't. I have some baby-sitting duties today. I can't miss it. I have promised to them already since last week." I replied apologetically.

"Hey, it's alright. Maybe next week?" she asked hopefully.

"Yeah sure! No prob!" I said.

School ended and I went home and took a bath before I go to my baby-sitting duties. I should be there at 7 pm so I still have time to rest and relax. Wanna know who I would baby-sit? Yep, the Collins twins, Sander and Sandy! Mr. and Mrs. Collins asked me if I could watch out for their children over the night since they'd be going to a social gathering and would not be able to come back before midnight. Blake? Nah, he's gonna somewhere with his friends I think that's why he would not be able to baby-sit his siblings so here I am. Well, I wouldn't call it 'baby-sitting' the twins but more like playing and having fun since they were like the brother and sister I never had. I really enjoyed watching out and playing with them.

Time flies so fast and it's already 7 pm. I went downstairs with my stuff and went to the house next door. I rang the doorbell and the door was opened by someone unexpected.

"Just in time Syd. Just in time." Blake greeted me by the door as he opened it with a big smile on his face.

"What are you doing here? I thought you're out with your friends?" I asked.

"Nah, I changed my mind." He replied.

"Ok, where are your siblings?" I asked.

"They're at their friend's sleep over party." he answered.

"Huh? I thought I was supposed to baby-sit them? Oh well, I'll just go now." I said as I turned around to leave but he caught my arm before I do so.

"Why are you leaving?" he asked.

"Uh well because I'm supposed to baby-sit your brother and sister but since they're not here, I'm going home already." I answered simply.

"Uh-uh Syd. You can't go now. You still haven't fulfilled your baby-sitting duties. My parents already paid you, don't they?" I looked at him shocked. I don't get what he is implying but he was right when he said that I was already paid. His parents already paid me before hand with a more than enough salary for a night of baby-sitting and I've already spent that to buy a new version of Ipod nano with camera. XD

"I'll just return the money maybe... next week..." I said unsure. Blake seemed to notice this and he knows that I have a new Ipod that's why he smiled bigger. "Besides, there's no one I would baby-sit, ya know?"
