CHAPTER 2: BABYSITTING?
“Are you deaf Ms. Baker? I don't like repeating myself. You should know that by now.” She glared at me.
“Oh. I mean. Sure.” I said not really having a choice.
“Good. Its settled then.” She said then left.
“I never did catch your name.” Christian said smiling at me. Why was he always smiling? It's a little creepy, if you ask me.
“Keira.” I said under my breath.
“Christian” he said extending his hand.
“Yeah. Yeah. I know who you are already.” I said annoyed as I spun around and gathered my things. “Look, I don't know why Ms. Callahan gave me the task to babysit you, and I don't know what you have in mind, but I have class right now so, bye.” I said making my way towards Seth.
“Okay gurl, who is the stud muffin?” Seth whispered as I met him by the door. He was continuously glancing at Christian.
“New guy. Callahan told me to babysit. Long story.” I said pulling him out into the corridor.
Hand in hand, Seth and I rushed to our next class on the third floor. When we got there, people were just beginning to file in. Whew. Good thing we weren’t late.
“So K, spill the beans about mister blonde and blue eyes.” He said referring to Christian. We were both seated on the floor changing into our sneakers.
“Nothing to spill actually. We just bumped into each other before Callahan’s class. Then at the end of it, I get to baby sit.” I sighed.
“Well why are you all sighing? He’s hot. I’d be jumping up and down if stud muffin was someone I had to babysit. Damn. Did you see those arms?” Seth gushed. I couldn't help but giggle as he showed his interest in Christian.
“Well, you can have him sister. Go for it.” I said standing up to adjust my pants.
“Oooooohhh guurll… speaking of the devil.” He said quickly standing up and tapping me on my bum. And just like what Seth had said, Christian had just walked into the studio. Was he in every single class I had? Seriously?
“What's he doing here?” I asked more irritated than curious.
“Obviously he has hip-hop too.” Seth said stating the obvious. Before I could plan an escape, Christian had spotted me from across the room.
“Oh great. He saw us. And is making his way here.” I mumbled through gritted teeth. When I looked at him he was smiling again. What was it with this dude and smiling? All the female students he passed were blushing and giggling clearly taken with his machoness.
“Hey, you have hip-hop too?” Christian asked me once he was close enough to be heard.
“Yeah.” I said. I wanted to keep my answers as simple as possible so that I wouldn't have to engage in a lengthy conversation. Yes, I was being mean but I was annoyed. This man didn't need babysitting. He was a grown man in a grown world.
“It’s her minor.” Seth blurted out. Surprised he had shared that piece of information, I punched him in the arm playfully.
“Seth! What did you do that for?”
“What? I was just telling him the truth.” He said and ran away to avoid any other punches.
“He seems funny.” Christian commented.
“Yeah. He’s my best friend.”
“Oh, I see.”
“Okay ladies and gents! Places please.” Monique had walked into the room together with Drew, her co teacher. Everyone did as they were told.
