I meet Megan and Nicki and tell them everything. "So, I got a babysitting job and you'll never guess who's house it is," I say. They stare at me blankly. "Rodrick Heffley," I say. They burst out laughing. "No wonder they need a babysitter, his brothers must be just like him," Megan says. "His little brothers are fine. I just hate being around that jerk," I say, "Oh and my evil stepmother decided to invite them all over for dinner." They laugh again.

We shop and I buy a new outfit with the money from babysitting last night. We get lunch together, then I head home. Katherine is cooking a roast for The Heffley's.

The doorbell rings and I'm setting the table. Katherine opens the door and sure enough, the whole family is here. Including Rodrick. He's wearing a black T-shirt tucked into black jeans. He looks at me and does that annoying smirk. I roll my eyes at him. The Heffley's are getting along well with Dad and Katherine, while I'm just sitting awkwardly. "So, Rodrick, I hear you're in a band," Dad says. "Yep. I started the band, I'm the drummer," he says. I see Mr Heffley make a face at Dad. They must be a terrible band, and I'm curious to hear them play.

The Heffley's seem to get along well with Dad and Katherine, but I'm feeling so awkward just sitting here. Rodrick seems unbothered, just wolfing down his food. I'm relieved when they finally leave.
