*NEXT DAY (AT PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE)*

"Yes Mr. White, we understand that it's the middle of the school year."

"And you're aware that Sophie will be behind all the other kids in her grade?" said Mr. White who happends to be the principal at the new school I'm going to.

"Yes Mr. White. Are you okay with this Sophie?"

"Yeh..." I say sarcastically.

As me and my mom leave the school after talking to the principal I asked her:

"Why do I have to go to school but Jesse gets to stay home? It's not fair."

"Jesse is going to be homeschooled now."

"Why?"

"You guys fight too much when you drive together."

"So?! Why can't I be the one homeschooled and he can go to school!"

"Soph, I don't want this argument right now. Let's go home. After dinner, you have to go around the neighborhood to look for babysitting jobs."

"Oh yeah...I forgot about that..."

*SKIP TO END OF DINNER*

"Soph, if you're done eating now, grab your sweater and go outside to look for a babysitting job. I also heard that our neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Redden have a young girl that needs a babysitter if you're interested." said mom

"Thanks mom. I'll go look and ask."

As I come outside, I see an advertisement for a babysitting job before I even reach the Redden house. It says:

-Looking for a babysitter! Only for a few weeks, and high pay! Only have to be 18 to be hired. If hired, you will be watching over two very sweet kids named Alyssa and Louis. They are twins and are both eight-

There was a tear-out paper on the bottom with the adress on it. I took the first one and drove to the house.
