The Babysitting Job

Chapter 4

I woke up with the bright sun hitting my face. I looked at my phone, it was only 10am and already 80 degrees outside. I got up and changed and put my hair into a ponytail I went down stair and notice that my uncle was already having breakfast. "good morning Danny" he said not looking up from his newspaper. "morning Bert" I said pouring myself some cereal. "excited for your first day?" he asked reaching for this toast.
"Yeah. Skylynn is adorable" I said sitting down. "she sure is" he said. Sometimes I wonder if my uncle ever felt lonely here. He had one daughter, Madison, but is already like 26 and lives in Seattle. My uncle and auntie Karmen got a divorce when Madison was 12 after 20 years of marriage . They both left my uncle all alone.
"OK it gotta get going Danielle. I will be back by 5 today." he got up and put his plate in the sink, "good luck today" he said smiling. "Thanks Bert" I said with a mouth full of cereal. After I was done with breakfast and washed the few dishes in the sink I still had 2 hours before I needed to be at the Floyd's house. I didn't feel like exploring the town right now because it was too hot outside. I looked at the fridge and saw that Uncle Robert had stocked it up with food. I saw that there was some vanilla ice cream and a 2 liter coke and all of a sudden I was craving a root beer float. I grabbed a $20 bill and headed out the door to go to the store and buy root beer and whip cream. As I opened the door I felt a wave of heat. Its like I never left San Diego, I though.
I was walking around and found a 7 eleven. Good enough, I don't really feel like walking more. I walked in and found what I was looking for. I paid and got out of the store. I was walking back to the house when I felt my phone buzz. Its was a message from Sierra. I was responding to her when I heard a boy yell, "watch out!". I turned around and the boy on a skateboard crashed into me, making me fall on my butt dropping my phone. Thank god neither the whipped cream nor the root beer exploded.
"Watch where you are going" I said trying to get up but couldn't because I was laying on the ground with a teenage boy and a long skateboard on top of me. "I'm so sorry I didn't see you" the boy said getting up and holding out his hand to help me up. I ignored it and got up myself because I could get up perfectly by myself. He seemed a little puzzled. "you should really start paying attention to your surroundings" he said as I got up and dusted myself off. "Says the one who crashed into me"
"hey in my defense you were on your phone and I didn't see you because I'm racing with Tez" I gave him are-you-serious look. I picked up my phone and saw that the screen was cracked. I sighed. It took forever for my parents to get me this phone, I don't think I will be getting a new one or getting it fix anything soon. "Oh I'm sorry about that" he said looking at my iPhone, "i will totally buy you a new one" Who did this kid think he is? 
"you really don't have to its fine, it still works" I said. Then all of a sudden another teenage boy came racing down on his skateboard. He saw us and immediately stop. "Yo what happened?" he said, I'm guessing he was Tez. "Nothing I just crashed into this girl." He said picking up his skateboard. "Bro look at her elbow, its all fucked up" Tez said pointing at my left arm. I looked at it, it was indeed "fucked up".
"oh my gosh I'm so sorry." The boy who crashed into me said freaking out. "its OK. I'm not going to die." I said.
"yo lets finish this race or what" said Tez. "Yeah lets go" the other boy said. "again sorry. But try to keep your nose out of your phone next time" I just looked at him. I noticed that he had nice eyes,  blue ones with a little green and 3 freckles in a form of a triangle on his check. As soon as I realized I was staring at him I stopped. "Got it" was all I said and walked away.
**Hayes POV**
Damn this girl had some attitude. I saw that she had a bag with root beer and whipped cream, maybe she was on the period or something. "Who was that?" asked Tez as she left.
"I don't know. I was looking back to see how far ahead I was of you when all of sudden she was infront of me and I crashed into her" I said looking in the direction where she went. "And am I crazy or did she not know who you were?" Tez said.
"i don't know, but she didn't seem to recognize me" I said.
"She got a nice ass. Small but round" Tez said putting his head next to mine looking at the same direction I was looking. But unlike Tez i wasnt looking at her ass, I was looking at the wavy brown hair in that ponytail swing back and forth. And ok,fine i did look at her ass at one point. I stopped looking and turned to my best friend. "lets finish this race" I said getting on my board.
