5SOS - Babysat By Idiots 2

Chapter 79

"You know, they haven't hung out very often lately, so I think it's a good idea for them to spend some time today. Don't you think?" Said Calum calmly.

I shrugged my shoulders. "Meh. What's my opinion matter? Whatever I say isn't going to be listened to anyway."

Calum responded sympathetically in a nice voice, "I'll listen to you." I guess he thought I felt sad that no one listened to me or something.

I smiled and said, "Well that's sweet, but that's not what I mean. I mean like, if I say I don't ship Luke and Arzaylea, it's not like they're just going to break up. It's not my decision is what I'm trying to say."

He looked at me confused. Then he said, "I'm sorry, can you say that again?"

"If I say I don't ship Luke and Arzaylea --" he suddenly interrupted me.

"Wait, wait, wait... Did you just swear?" He asked me.

I raised my eyebrows and said, "Huh? No, of course not. Calum, I said ship."

He nodded and said, "Ohh. Okay, 'cause I thought you said a bad word for a second and I was just like, hold up."

We both laughed, until 5 seconds later when Calum suddenly got confused again. "Wait," he said, "that still doesn't make sense. Ship Arzaylea and Luke?"

"Yeah," I replied, "You know... ship. Do you not know the term?"

"Not. At. All," he told me.

I explained that ship meant to relationship someone.

He then said, "Sooo it's a verb?"

"I guess."

"Huh. Well don't expect me to be using that term very often. Where did you learn that anyway? Instagram?"

"Yep," I nodded my head.

He shrugged his shoulders. I decided to leave Calum's room after that and go to Michael's. Just before I could, Ashton met up with me in the hall and said, "Okay, Nicole. Time to do your homework."

"What?" I said furrowing my eyebrows, "But it hasn't been an hour."

"It's been close enough," he said, "Sorry, but I just really want you to do well in your studies."

"I know," I said. He's told me this 1000 times. Ugghhh. I turned around and went to my room approaching my backpack to get my books out.

When I got my math binder and textbook out, I began to do my homework with ease. Not too much ease, but ease.

At #3, I came to a question that I actually didn't understand. I had to ask Ashton for help.

Wait! Michael hasn't left the house yet. Or at least, I don't think so. Probably because it's not 5:30 yet and I started my homework earlier than I thought I would.

I quickly left my desk and made my way to Michael's room to see his door closed with a sign on the doorknob that said, "DO NOT DISTURB". What the heck? When did he ever have a sign like that? 😠 Ugh. Clearly that message was for me because I'm like, the only person who goes over to his room to talk to him.

Just then, I heard a female voice say, "Oh, hey, Nicole," for the second time today. I turned to my right to see Arzaylea... with a TOWEL ON HER HEAD and different clothes than she was wearing when she came in.

I raised my eyebrows in shock and said, "Oh. Umm, hey... Arzaylea."

"Michael's in there skyping with the band's manager," Arzaylea told me. How the heck did she know that and I didn't?

I replied, "Oh. Okay then." I felt the need to question why she was in a towel and new clothes. I mean, clearly I knew she had just taken a shower, BUT WHY HERE? Why not at her own house? So I did ask her. "With all due respect, Arzaylea," I started off polite since she hadn't bothered me today, "Why exactly are you wearing a towel on your head?"

She smiled and replied, "Oh, it's because I took a shower," and chuckled.

😐

....
.....
😑

No... Really?...

I nodded my head and tried to get my point across a bit clearer.

"Uh, where's Luke?" I asked her.

"He had to go to the store to get snacks. Don't worry though. He won't be long."

Oh, I for sure was not worrying about Luke. I was worrying about ARZAYLEA, and why on planet Earth would Luke just leave her here to act like this is her hou --........ 😳

Oh, no...

This can't be happening...

No way....

Arzaylea can't actually be getting closer to... LIVING WITH US?!?!?
