5SOS - Babysat By Idiots 2

Chapter 80

Nuh-uh. No way. Nope. Never. Luke would never do that without consulting me. Then again, this isn't the first time he hasn't told me about something and then went and did it anyway. 😯

Besides, all the signs are there. She got her own house key. She was suddenly trying to be nice by saving me from getting in trouble. Now she's taking showers here!?

Wait, hold up. I guess it ain't too bad that she saved me from getting in trouble. I mean, imagine if she lived with us, and always saved me from Luke and the boys' wrath? She'd never be the type to get in trouble by anyone. She's an adult. In fact, she could act as an older sister if we came to liking each other that much. Or even... A mom? 😧

Wait, Nicole. Stop. Don't be like that. You can't just jump to conclusions like that, alright? Enough of it. You're just going to depress yourself when you find out its not true. *Sigh*

And why would you even want her here? You don't like her, remember, Nicole? You don't even Ship Luke and Arzaylea.

Wait, I know what it is! You need a girl in the house, Nicole. THAT'S what. You're lonely. Not many friends at school, and at home you're bored and have nothing to do. Having a girl in the house would be soooo much easier. But it doesn't have to be Arzaylea. For all I care, I would like Crystal better, Michael's girlfriend. She'd definitely act as a great role model and sister (or mother) toward me. But it's not like any of this is going to happen anyway, so continue to be lonely and sad, Nicole. 😔

"Umm, Nicole?" Said Arzaylea.

I looked up and said, "Huh?"

She was like, "You were just staring at the floor there? Are you okay? Was it something I said?"

"Uh, no," I replied, "I just... uhhh... figured out the answer to one of my questions in my homework. I gotta go back now. See ya." Before she could even say bye back, I was gone. I went to my room and closed the door. I sat in my chair and I said to myself, "Hey, pull yourself together, Nicole. Forget about it. You've been living this way for the longest time. Why worry about it now?"

I was about to do my homework until I realized... I still don't have the answer to #3. Wow. Okay. Well then, I'll just go and ask Ashton. I hope I don't run into Arzaylea again though. Who is she to try and question me and why I'm walking around in MY OWN HOUSE?! Psh. Forget her. I'm going to go ask Ashton for some help with my homework.

I waited a little bit for me to hear Arzaylea go downstairs, and after 3 minutes, I heard her go down. I picked up my textbook, got up out of my seat, and left my room once more. I walked to Ashton's room and saw his door was open. I stood in the doorway to see him doing something on his computer.

"Ashton, I need your help with my homework," I said.

He looked at me and said, "Oh, okay, I can try to help you. What is it?"

I walked in and showed him the question in the textbook. After telling him it, he took a moment to think about it. It was several seconds of silence. He slid the book closer to him and I just stepped back waiting for him to figure out what to do.

While waiting, I walked around his room a bit, looked at the things on his wall, and sat on the bed. I've gotta say, it took quite some time for Ashton to figure out the question. He just sat there in complete silence staring at the textbook. No "hmm" or "interesting" or "maybe... no, that can't be it". Just complete silence. He flipped a few pages to see if there was any examples on previous pages, but he found nothing. I've gotta say, he must've spent about 10 minutes on the question. 😑

Eventually, he said, "Okay."

I walked over to him fast and said, "So did you get it?"

"No," he said.

I squinted my eyes. "What?" I replied.

"Sorry, Nicole. I can't help you."

"You mean to say... You just spent like, 10 full minutes staring at the textbook tryna' figure the question out... and you got nothing," I said.

He laughed and replied, "You sound funny when you're angry and confused all at the same time. But, yeah, I got nothing." I groaned. He continued, "If you really can't figure it out, ask Luke. I'm sure he won't mind."

"He went out," I said.

"Ask Michael."

"You don't think I tried him before coming to you? He's busy in his room talking to your manager or something."

"Huh.... Well then you got nothing," said Ashton.

"Are you kidding me right now? How bad can Calum REALLY be at math? Like, seriously. Can't I just go to him? I'm desperate, Ashton."

"Don't underestimate his stupidity, Nicole," said Ashton pointing his finger at me, "the dumb force is strong with that one."

I paused for a second and just stared at him confused. Then I just bursted out, "That doesn't even make sense!" I was soooo confused. I literally said softly, almost as if in a whisper, "Are you high right now?" Luckily he didn't hear me.

"Listen, Nicole, why don't you just wait until tomorrow to get help from the teacher?" He said.

"It's Friday, Ashton."

"What? Then why are you doing all your homework today?"

"Because you told me to!"

"Well you didn't tell me today was Friday!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize that I was a walking, talking CALENDAR!"

"Hey, what's going on in here?" I turned around to see Luke standing in the doorway.

"Finally! A person with some common sense!" I said.

"Nicole, what is the problem?" He said to me annoyed.

"I need help with my math," I told him.

"... Aaaand????"

"Ashton can't help me."

Luke sighed and said, "Show me the question." I pointed to it in the textbook and waited.

Ashton said, "Hey, when did my room suddenly turn into a classroom? If you wanna study, go do it somewhere else."

I muttered, "I can never get good help around here."

Like, I said before. Having a girl in the house would be soooo much easier........ Wait a second.
