5SOS - Babysat By Idiots 2

Chapter 77

Happy New Year, guys! Thank you all for sticking around! I love you all and I hope you have a great 2017, considering 2016 didn't go as well as we all hoped it would.

BACK TO THE STORY

Just as I was about to relax, Ashton popped up into my doorway and asked me, "Nicole, I'm sure you have homework, right?"

I replied to him, "Uhh, yeah."

He said, "Then shouldn't you be doing it?"

"I don't have very much," I said, "I'm going to do it in an hour."

He replied, "Okay. But when you get around to it, be careful about asking Calum for help. You know he's a little of when it comes to these kind of things."

I replied, "You mean things like school and education?"

"Well... Yes. Kind of," said Ashton.

I said, "But who am I going to ask then? Michael's going out around 5:00, so I can't ask him. And he's like, the only smart one in the house."

"Ask Luke," said Ashton. I was about to reply, but he continued by saying, "Wait, never mind. He's inviting Arzaylea over later." He was more of talking to himself now.

I lip synced to myself, "Those two are still together?" I made a disgusted facial expression.

Ashton said, "First of all, what subject is it?"

"Math," I answered.

He groaned and said, "I'm not too good at math, but if you're really desperate for help, you can ask me, alright?"

"Okay," I said.

Just as Ashton left, I got a text on my iPod. It was an instagram DM. Did I tell you guys I got instagram? Eek! 🤣After the boys made the rule that I can't be friends with boys, they thought it'd only be fair that they'd take away one other rule now that I'm 14. So they let me have 1 social media account of my choice. I chose for it to be instagram.

Anyway, the DM I got was from a girl in my Science class named Gracie. I was confused though, because I'm not exactly "friends" with Gracie. Don't worry. We're not enemies either. I don't have any enemies in high school. (THANK GOD 🙏 ). And I intend to keep it that way. We're just classmates, so it was weird for her to send me a message.

Instagram didn't tell me what the message said from the lockscreen, so I unlocked my iPod, opened Instagram, and looked at the message.

After reading it, I was no longer confused.

You see, at school, for some odd reason, people see me as "smart". I just don't know why.

I don't really like Gracie. It's not because she's mean or anything. She's just really fake. You can hear in her voice how she tries to make it sound higher, and she wears a TON of makeup. She's SUPER popular at school, but majority of people hate her because she's fake.

But she's BORDERLINE gorgeous though. Like, she is soooo pretty. But the reason she wears so much makeup is because she thinks she's ugly. Sad.

Though I didn't like Gracie very much, I knew I still had to be kind and polite. So I decided to help her.

I waited for her to text me back, but she never did. I gave up on waiting for her to answer me, so instead I just went downstairs.

Right when I got to the bottom of the stairs, I heard the door knock. That must be Arzaylea. 😒 I thought she was coming later. Ugh, I'll just wait for Luke to come and answer the door. 10 seconds later, there was another knock on the door. Nobody came. I sat down on the stairs confused as to why no one was coming out from their rooms to answer the door. No way was I going to open the door for Arzaylea. Nope. Never. Not in a million years. So I just sat there and waited in silence.

Just at that moment, the door knob started shaking and I sat straight up. Why would Arzaylea be trying to come inside? This isn't her house. 😳
