Give Me A Chance

Chapter 7

Bad Sister, Badasses, & Babysitting

The next morning, I woke up with a smile on my face.

I didn't know why, but I felt like today was going to be a good day.

I got up and went to take a shower.

I decided on wearing a white crop top that had Different On it, a

black blazer, black skin tight jeans, and white sandals.

I brushed my hair straight down, and grabbed my phone.

"Where are you going?" asked Lizzie from the hallway.

"None of your business." I told her as I walked past her and into the bathroom.

She stepped in behind me.

"Well, I just wanted you to know that Lucas called me last night."
Liar. You called him.

"Okay? And?" I told her as I walked out.

She followed me out.

"Well, we're kind of a thing now." she bragged to me as she leaned on the banister.

Just then my phone vibrated.

I took it out and read the message that flashed across the screen.
'Meet me outside.'
Best friend.

I smiled to myself as I walked down the stairs.

I turned around and looked up the stairs.

"Lizzie why do you even like Lucas?" I asked her.

"Duh. He's hot. And popular. He could totally boost up my status in school." she told me as she folded her arms.

"That's all I needed to hear." I told her as I left the house and closed the door behind me.

I went outside to meet Lucas. When I spotted him standing on his lawn, I walked over to where he was.

"What's up?" I asked him as I gave him a hug, which he immediately returned.

"Listen, I'm sorry. We were gonna go somewhere but my mom had an emergency call to work. I have to babysit Haley." he said as he put his hands in his pockets.

I smiled at him. "No problem."

He raised an eyebrow at me.

"No problem?" he asked me, obviously confused.

"Yea. No problem. I love little Haley. I'll help you babysit." I told him as I walked past him and towards his front door.

Lucas smiled and walked behind me and into the house.

"Haley!" he called out as he took off his jacket, revealing his sexy arms.
Woah. What?

She came running down the steps and immediately lit up when she saw me.

"Jenny!" she called out and ran into my arms.

I picked her up and gave her a hug.

"Haley!" I mimicked her and kissed her on the nose causing her to laugh. "How is my favorite little girl?" I asked her as I set her back on her own two feet.

"Hungry." she said as she folded her arms, pouting. "Lukie didn't feed me."

I coughed back a laugh and looked back at Lucas who was doing the same.
