Y/N= your name
If someone wants a version with non-binary pronouns, I'd be happy to make different versions! Just let me know :)
(Dm me! iwant_tobeacat on Instagram or Twitter, or here on WattPad)

Y/N sat at his desk, doing his homework. He was trying not to suck at it, because last time he didn't do a whole lot of good on it. The only thoughts that have been swirling in his head were of his mom telling him he needs to earn some extra cash. His weekly allowance wasn't doing it for him and he needed something to buy him coffee in the wee hours of the morning before school.

The phone rang loud, and before Y/N could get it, his mother jogged into the living room to answer.

"Hello, Kelli speaking... oh, really? Oh, goodie! I'll give the phone to him." she scurried over to Y/N, and quickly handed him the phone while whispering, "It's the Garza's- our new neighbors. They have a babysitting job for you!"

Y/N took the phone, the opposite of ecstatic. "Hello?"

"Hello, Y/N! Would you like to babysit our kids? 12 bucks an hour,"

"Sure, why not?"

"Good! Oh, and there will be another babysitter there, too,"

The heck, he thought. "Why's that?"

"Our kids can be.. trouble makers. Safety in numbers! You'll start this Saturday night, from 4pm-12am. Sound good?"

"Yep, sounds great. I'll be there! Have a good day! Bye!"

"You too, bye!"

Y/N hung up, excited to earn money for once, even if it wasn't a lot. But he was mostly excited because his mom hopefully won't be nagging him anymore. Jobs were never his thing, but babysitting didn't seem too bad.

"Did you accept?" Kelli walked back into the room, grinning.

"Yep! Sounds like something I may enjoy," he picked his pencil back up after remembering homework still existed, "if it's fun, I'll do it again."

"My little boys got a job!" Kelli rubbed the top of Y/N's head like he were a dog.

"Mom, I'm going to babysit little children. Calm down,"

"Doesn't mean I'm not allowed to be proud!"

"Of course," Y/N smiled, "was that rhyme intentional?"

"Nope!"

Kelli's enthusiasm made Y/N happier, knowing his mom was proud of something he has done, or will done... what is English anyways?

Then he remembered homework exists. Again. "Mom, I have homework to do,"

"Sorry, honey. Good luck with homework!"

Kelli walked out of the room when Y/N heard giggling. He looked to his feet and saw his little brother, Adam, snickering by the stool. He slapped his pencil to the table and complained, "What do you WANT, Adam?"

"You're babysitting with another person."

"Yeah, and?"

"You're going to get a BOYFRIEND!" Adam couldn't stop laughing.

"MOM!" Y/N yelled, "HE'S BULLYING ME!"

"Adam! Stop bullying your brother," he heard from down the hall, "He did nothing to you."

Adam stuck his tongue out at Y/N who stuck his out back, and he ran out of the room.

Lordie lord.

I changed the hours because everyone else said how 5 bucks is nothing. You're welcome. Also changing the pronouns make me realize how much pronouns are used in readerxcharacter/person fanfictions. Also, a lot of my stories have unpublished chapters with the plans I have for the stories and I want you people to tell me if you can see them. But they're unpublished. Sorry this was lengthy.
