Babysitting.

You only live once✨

Skylar's POV-

It's a Saturday night and I'm here working my butt off to study for the test on Monday that our physics teacher Mr Thorntow so kindly informed us of three days ago.

Note the sarcasm.

I'm sure my two best friends would be having a lot fun at the party they went to a few hours ago.They told me about it, tried to convince me also but I just don't fancy parties at all. All you see there are sweaty people grinding on each other,basically sucking each other's faces off.

I prefer burying my head in my books even when I don't understand some of them because it's less complicated and listening to music without a care in the world. It's simple for me and I like being alone.

I hardly go out, I'm more of an introvert and I don't joke with my food..ever.So basically, I'm a nerd,people call me that but I still try to convince myself that I'm not.

Being tagged a nerd means I'm socially awkward and I'm not that awkward but I don't have a lot of friends,ok I have just two close friends but that doesn't mean I'm a freak. I still talk with people but I don't keep them close to me.

The sound of my phone brings me out my thoughts.I have a message from Paige,one of my best friends.

P- we're having fun,Sky.wish you were here.

S-you know I don't like parties.Just don't get drunk and complain of a hangover the next day. I reply. My friends are nothing like me,we are complete opposites but we complete each other all the same. It's a balanced equation.

She doesn't reply. Maybe she's drinking or dancing at the party. She's gonna regret it tomorrow and as her best friend,it's my duty to rub it in and console her later.

I check the time and it's 9:20pm,I've been studying for over two hours maybe I should give it a rest. I close my books and drop them on my study table.

Anytime I finish studying,I watch movies on my laptop to calm my brain and relax for the rest of the day. If I'm not in school,then I'm at home in my room eating junks or watching movies on Netflix.

I get my laptop and proceed to scan for new movies to watch. I'm so happy I have something to while away my time,the laptop was a gift from my dad on my 16th birthday.I was so excited when he gave it to me.

After seeing the movie I want to watch,I get comfy on my bed with my pillow propped under my arm. Time for movie night with me, myself and I.After hours of binge watching movies,I'm already dozing off,my eyes are drooping.

I need to sleep.

Sunday came faster than I expected and it's my slowest day so I could wake up late and I don't have to study.

Yay!

I know since I act like a nerd I'm supposed to love studying but nobody wants to be cooped up and surrounded in books that Could make your brain explode.

Sometimes I love studying but I'm only human and I need some time away from books and anything related to school.
My phone vibrates and I check to see the message I've received.It's from Amy, best friend number two and she sent pictures of the party last night.

She labelled it hash tag best party ever at the bottom.I chuckled in amusement as I shook my head, every party she attends is always the best party ever to her.She's the drama queen among the three of us, while Paige is a little less hyper and I'm the silent listener.

I know she sent that picture just to make me regret not coming to the party. It's not that I haven't attended a party before but my first experience at one made me avoid going to any for a long time.

I mean who loves to be fondled without permission,especially by a sloppy drunkard who would not even remember what he did the next day??. I'm just saving myself from harassment from drunk guys and going blind from what would usually happen in a room filled with horny,drunk teenagers and puke everywhere.

I really need to get out more and if I've had a senior sister or brother maybe I would not be as introverted as I am now. Instead I'm stuck being the older sister to my annoying little brother,Nathan that I have to babysit.

Don't get me wrong,I love my brother but he can be a pain in the neck sometimes. He's just plain annoying.

"Skylar!!!Sky!"Speak of the devil. My brother screams my name across the hallway. For a twelve year old, he sure has the voice of a whiny girl.

I groan in frustration as I drop the book I'm reading on the table.He shouts my name again and I fight the urge to shout back.

Keep it in, Skye.

"I've told you to stop screaming my name when you are downstairs,come upstairs and talk to me like a normal person."I hiss.
See what I mean by annoying and pain in the ass?

"I know.Just don't want to do it,it's way more fun to see you annoyed."He says while grinning evilly.He is really a handful and makes me wish that I was an only child.
"I'm hungry and I can't cook."he whines.

He's acting like a child and it's pissing me off and since mom's not back from her afternoon shift and my dad is away on a business trip, we're the only ones at home.

"Fine, let me see what we have."I say.
I open the fridge and check to see what's there. There's eggs, flour , milk,butter, cereal,and some cans of tuna. I could whip up something out of it.

I decide to make pancakes and after some minutes,we devour it like hungry wolves that have been denied food for months.

My mind wanders to the test I'm going to have tomorrow.Mr Thorntow sure knows how to keep someone on edge about tests. It's like the man derives joy in seeing us unprepared for things like this.

While others had probably forgotten about the test and partied all night,I was busy torturing myself with Calculus.My social life is on holiday and may probably never resume.

I always wonder how I became friends with Amy and Paige.Their social life is more active than mine and they still do well in school.

They've had a couple of boyfriends,gone on dates and done all that stuff,while I've not even had my first kiss yet.They have tried to set me up on a date before but the guy stood me up and I lost interest,the other one was flirting with another girl with me there, apparently he did not know the meaning of shame even if it slapped him in the face.

My luck with boys was zero so I just told them to give it a rest and focus on their own lives.You can't force what isn't there. I'll be ready when I'm ready but for now I need to focus on acing the test tomorrow because it's 50% of my grades and I cannot tarnish my straight As reputation in school.

So this is me.Skylar Davies the seventeen year old girl with two best friends,an annoying brother and my non-existent social life.

School year should be fun.

So there goes my first chapter...
Thanks for reading❤🦋
