M A R I A POV
Summer is almost over, and school is right around the corner. Thank god, because I'm so sick of babysitting my younger brother, Brandon , I've been watching him every summer since I was in second grade and he was just a month old.
My parents are always gone doing some, god knows what. I enjoy babysitting just not when I want to go out, and do something.
"Maria, are you going to do it or not ?" Lauren said, bring me out my thoughts.
"Huh ? Do what ? I wasn't listening."
"Are you going to try out ?"
"No, I hate basketball. I prefer sticking to cheerleading."
"I stopped talking about that an hour ago."
"Then, what you talking about ?"
"Look here." She said, while turning the computer screen toward me. She pointed to a picture of August Alsina, and his son, Anthony.
"Okay, what about them ?"
"OMG ! At the top it says 'H E L P W A N T E D'. and, when you keep reading it says how August Alsina is looking for a babysitter."
"And your point in showing me this is ?" I asked, pushing the computer out from in front of me, and taking a bite out of a chocolate chip cookie.
"You should go and try out. It's going to be held at the theatre downtown where we went to see Chris brown perform. It's on July 20th at 2:00pm. Don't be late."
"Lauren, I have to go to school in August. Plus, my parents would never let me." I got off my bed, and went to put my hair in a bun.
"Also, there is going to be dozen of people there. So, why would he chose a 17 year old girl ?" I finished the bun, and turned around facing Lauren, who was crisscrossed apple sauce on my bed looking at me. "You should try out. Your parents let you do anything."
"Maria, my mom just texted me and told me I have to head home, so I can go to my eye doctor appointment. But, I'm inexperienced with babysitting you've been doing it since you were 7. But, I'm pretty sure Mr. G will let you ! But, see you later...text me." With that being said she left out the door.
Does she really think I'm about to go to this thing ? I looked at the computer screen as the web page sat in front of me. Maybe, I'll go just to see August, then come home and tell Lauren how sexy he his in person. Yeah....that sounds like a plan. But, first I have to ask my dad. Ughhhhh...... I'm sure he is going to tell me no !!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Yea, sure !" My dad bluntly said.
"I knew you was going to say no. I should of nev-..... Wait did you just say yes ?" I must be on the punk show. My dad just said he is okay with me going to try out to be August Alsina babysitter. Not just my neighbor babysitter THE actually August Alsina babysitter.
"Yea. I mean you been doing it since you were 7, and plus I think it would be nice for you to have an actually real job. I think it is time for you to take responsibility." He said, while cutting my steak into pieces, and sliding my plate toward me.
"Thanks." I said, while pouring A1 sauce onto my plate.
"Now, what time do I have to take you downtown ?"
"Before, 2:00pm."
"Okay, sounds good. I have to leave for work at 1:30, so we'll leave at 1."
"I can't believe your okay with this. I mean I still have to go to school."
