The good and the bad

Chapter 2//Jerk

A/N: thank you for giving my story a chance!!! <3

I went back to my room, totally forgotten about letting my window open, this messed up architecture designed my window to face the one on the opposite room. Yeah I know it's pretty dumb to design something like this, what happened to privacy?, before closing the curtains so I could change, I took a sneak peek at the rectangular piece of glass, my eyes wide open seeing as the jerk a.k.a Ryder picking the room facing mine. WTF?!, how can this be happening, I'm not going to survive with Ryder in the way, he couldn't choose another room, he hade to pick the room across mine, plus I'm already supporting his arrogance, and jerky presence at school, I don't want to see him this often, I know he has a pretty face, but compared to his personality, not even a chance. I shake my head clearing my thoughts, then I hear my mum calling me to come down stairs.

"What's up mum?" I greet.
She was standing in front of the door and in her hands, she was holding a big black box with white stripes on it. I know exactly what it is, her specialty: Cupcakes, yup, my mum is the best backer ever, her desserts are the greatest thing I've ever tasted, trust me when I say it, you would die to try some of her desserts. But she doesn't do cupcakes everyday,  just for special occasions, so why is she holding a box of it? "Why did you prepare cupcakes, you never do it on basic days like this". I asked.

"We're going to visit the neighbors, and I think my cupcakes are going to leave them with a awed expression" she replies, opening the door and gesturing the way, signing me to leave. Of course I'm not leaving, I can't stand seeing him right now, I'm really not in the mood.

"We're not going to stand here all day, Emily, move it, I know you don't really want to go, but please do it for me, at least try!" She said with an over dramatic tone, as thought she was reading my thoughts.

"Okay" I sighed. "Just for you mum" I groan under my breath, leaving the house, my mum following , locking the door behind her.

~*~*~
With shaky hands, I slightly pressed the doorbell, hearing as it echoes around the house. I take a deep breath before seeing the woman from earlier.
"Hello there, I'm Calra Anderson, the mother of Ryder and Emma, come in, make yourself at home, excuse the boxes, it's just that we just moved and everything" she greets us with a wide smile on her face showing her perfect white teeth.

"Hello, my name is Georginia Winston, this is my daughter Emily" she gestured at me and I smile respectfully. "It's a pleasure to have you as a neighbor" she continued, handing her the box, smiling.

"You really don't have to-" she hasn't got the chance to continue when my mum interrupted her. Not rudely though.

"Oh no , I insist" 

"Oh okay, well thank you, come on in, I'll go call the kids"  
I open the door even further, stepping in with my mother.
The house was similar to ours, boxes were all over the place, the living room, though was pretty packed up and completely furnished. I sit on a really comfortable couch, waiting patiently for them to arrive.
Until I heard footsteps coming from the stairs, I suddenly feel my heart pounding through my chest, and my stomach shifting uncomfortably.
They all got down as I try to fight back the heat raising to my cheeks. Why can't I stop blushing?. It's not that I love him? Do I? He looks at my mum and nods respectfully at her, Emma rap her hands around his leg hugging him, whilst hiding her face behind it. 

The rest of the conversation was awkward, non Ryder or me spoke to each other. Until this happened:

"So I'm going out on a Saturday night next week and I was thinking if your-you know- daughter could babysit Emma, since Ryder is going out" she says hesitantly.
My mum wasn't going to say yes, was she?
Of course she was, wtf why me?
I crack a very fake smile. My mum has some serious explanations to do.

A/N: so you're going to babysit the bad boy's sister while he's not at home, what could possibly go wrong?

Find out in the next episode/ chapter of TGATB!! <3
