Love is Like A Game

Chapter 5

Hmm...what am I going to wear tonight? Zach's finally taking me out. A date. Okay, he didnt say it's a date just hang-out but when you hang-out with someone that's the opposite sex, it might be dating.

What am I going to wear? A dress? Nah, we're not going to a fancy place, right?

You'll never know.

I put on the neon pink one shoulder dress and take it off and put it back on. Looking at myself in the mirror, I look cute and irresistable. Zach can't say no to this.

Eat that, Zach.

Thank God, Mom and Dad's not home. Just me and my little bro, Jamie. I can not believe Mom made me babysit that loser.

"Jamie!"

He appeard in my bedroom. His eyes never leaves his Nintendo. He's probably playing that stupid game that you kill granmas a bus or something. Then he look up.

"Where are you going?" he asked me, batting his big innocent eyes. 

Trust me, he's not that innocent. Once,he spilt milk on the stupid ugly carpet mom bought, and he blame me. Before defending myself, Mom's mouth became like a shotgun.So, I go upstairs to my room and lock myself. The next day, I was told that I'm grounded. Again, because it was Jamie who told Mom I slammed the frigging door.I did not remember slamming any door and Mom has this stupid rule, No slamming doors, or else you're grounded for a week. Even if she grounds me, I always ended up in a party.

"Somewhere" I answered him briefly.

He raises an eyebrow "Im telling mom, you're so grounded, you're supposed to babysit me"

Thanks for reminding me to babysit this muthafuker.

What is wrong with this kid?

"Here's the thing, little dude, you stay home and take care of your ass by playing that thing", I pointed at his game with narrow eyes "And NOT tell mom and dad or else...."

He annoyingly raise an eyebrows. Hmmph, kids. Can't they take care themselves.

"If not what? Kick my ass, bring it on!" he said mischeviosly.

"No...I'll tell mom that you broke her favourite glass, and it was you who pour coke on the couch and there's a doggie or whoevers poop under Mom and Dad bed and you did it and I'll take away your Nintendo and Xbox, I'll tell mom that you stole her necklace and gave it to that little blonde girl, whaddaya think little dude?" I saw him giving a girl a necklace before Mom lost her necklace. He's only 7, how did he get a necklace? So, I know it's mom.

 He gave me a really piss-off face "First of, don't call me 'Little Dude' and second, I did'nt steal the necklace, I borrowed it"

I gave him the 'oh really?' face. 

"If you're not little, why do I have to take care of your butt?" I asked him.

He sigh. The sign of giving up. 

"Fine, I wont tell Mom or Dad, if you don't tell 'bout the necklace" 

I give a sly smile and nod.

"Deal" we shook hands.

"Where are you going anyway?" he asked curiously.

"You know, curiosity killed the cat" I told him.

He rolled his eyes, annoyed. "Drama queen" I heard him mumble to himself. "Well, I am not a cat"

For a little curious boy, he's actually smart.

I rolled my eyes "A friend's?"

"Right" he said.
