5SOS - BABYSAT BY IDIOTS

Chapter 108

I went back downstairs after texting Taylor and saw Ashton on the couch laying there watching 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians'. LOL! Anyway, I walked up to the couch and before I apologized to him, I said, "Ashton, quick question: How old did you think Faith was?" He looked at me and responded, "I don't know. Your age? Maybe a year older. She was pretty tall though. She doesn't look 14." I sighed and said to Ashton, "That's because she's not. Look, you can't blame me for what I am about to tell you, okay? But I think you are gonna be a little happy."

Ashton: (sits up) What do you wanna tell me?

Nicole: Well it turns out, Faith started school late. Sooooo, she is a bit older than what she should be.

Ashton: WHAT?!

Nicole: I know, I know.

Ashton: How old is she?

Nicole: 16.

Ashton: (laughs) This is great! Now that I know she is closer to my age, it'll be less awkward.

Nicole: And I guess I do owe you quite the apology, Ash.

Ashton: Okay. Spit it out.

Nicole: Ugh, wow. Okay, uh, I'm sorry.

Ashton: For?

Nicole: (sighs) For freaking out at you.

Ashton: And?

Nicole: For rudely interrupting your conversations.

Ashton: While?

Nicole: You creeped her out with the holes in your cheeks!

Ashton: Hey!

Nicole: Okay, now it's your turn to apologize.

Ashton: Me? What did I do?

Nicole: You practically insulted me without even looking at me. You said to Faith that you would be a better friend to her than I would.

Ashton: Oh, yeah.

Nicole: Yeah. So, spit it out.

Ashton: I'm sorry.

Nicole: For?

Ashton: Don't you dare start this again.

Nicole: (laughs) I forgive you.

Ashton: Good. Now wanna watch TV with me?

Nicole: Depends. Does the show have anything to do with big butts and tans?

Ashton: Uhhh...

Ashton kept holding the 'uhhh' while he grabbed the remote and changed the channel. Then he said, "No, no, not at all." I laughed and sat down with him. Ash had changed to Jeopardy. I'm obviously terrible at it because I'm only 12 and the questions being asked are for adults. I asked Ashton, "Why does Alex always ask the questions in a statement and the contestants answer them in questions?" He responded to me, "Because the people who made the show wanted to switch it up a bit." I nodded and we continued to watch. I looked at the time and it was 6:52. Jeopardy was almost done. Calum came downstairs and said, "Hey, Nicole, we have to go to the studio so 1D are coming to take care of you, okay?" I said okay and they left later. 1D came 5 minutes later and I was just watching Modern Family. Niall said to me, "So what's up?" I wanted to say 'The Kardashians' if Ash was here but he wasn't so I just said, "Nothing much. Just watching Modern Family." Niall decided to watch with me. We laughed while watching before I heard somebody in the kitchen yell, "BULLSEYE!!" I looked at Niall and he looked at me and then I went to the kitchen to see what it was all about. I saw Louis, Liam and Harry throwing popcorn into each others mouths. I should've known. Silly people. I was about to leave before Harry called me back and said, "Hey, Nicole? Wanna try?" I turned around and said, "Oh, no, thanks. I wouldn't be good at all that." Then Liam said, "Come on, just try it. You never know." I groaned and walked beside the table. Louis grabbed a popcorn piece and threw it at me and surprisingly, I got it! I smiled and said, "Hey! I got it!" They all cheered and Louis told me to step back each time I got one in. We took it to the living room where there was more space. As we continued, I got the second one in, the third one, the fourth, the fifth, and the sixth! Soon enough, we have to take it outside. I got them all in until I was about 7 feet away. Thats when I couldn't get it in. We went back inside and Louis said, "And you said you wouldn't be that good."

Nicole: Well I honestly thought it would be harder than that but I guess it wasn't.

Harry: I know someone else who can do that. You know Taylor Lautner, right?

Nicole: Oh, yeah, I met him.

Liam: You met him?!? Lucky! He's awesome!

Nicole: I know. I mean, he has a 6-pack.

Harry: (laughs) I have one too.

Louis: Oh, please, Harry. The only 6-pack you have is the 6-pack of pudding cups.

(Everyone laughs)
