"mom! i do not need a babysitter!"
she lightly laughed as she finished packing clothes in her suitcase.
"honey, the last time i left you alone, you had a party when i specifically told you not to."
i sighed. "it was once!"
she looked up at me. "once, but you completely trashed the house and the cops were called by the neighbours."
"it wasn't even my idea! it was evie's!"
my best friend thought it would be a good idea to have this huge party and invited all the juniors and seniors, us being the only sophomores there. some college guys even came. and evie's brother bought alcohol. this party turned out to be a mess. i almost got arrested but the cops let me off because i hadn't ever caused them trouble.
yet, here i was with a bigger punishment in my opinion, stuck with a babysitter for the next six months.
my mom placed her bag near the front door before turning back around to me. "now, don't try to blame this on your friend, she's a sweet girl, she'd never do that. "
yeah, to my mom's eyes, my best friend was an angel, but she really wasn't. more like a sweet devil.
"and i don't have time to argue with you anyway, my taxi is here, so come hug your mother" she opened her arms and i reluctantly hugged her as i sighed. i was acting like i didn't care that she was leaving on a business trip but i knew i would miss her.
after a few moments, we both pulled away from the embrace and she picked up her bags as we heard a honk from the outside.
"i have to go and the babysitter will be here in a few minutes. remember, they're in charge."
she smiled at me as she quickly kissed my cheek and made her way out, practically running to the taxi. i waved at her as the car started to drive away.
i closed the door and went back to the living room, letting my body fall on the couch. i got my phone out, opening the neko atsume app.
~~~
a couple of minutes later, i heard someone knocking at the door. i sat up and dropped my phone on the couch before getting up to go open it. i placed my hand on the door knob before twisting it to reveal a guy, maybe a few years older than me.
and with a slight smirk on his face, he started talking. "hey, i'm calum. your babysitter."
