The next morning I see a very happy or excited Betty skip down the hall towards me.
"Hey friend."She chirps.
Friend.
"What's up?"I ask.
She rolls her eyes,
"Good morning to you too.Bad weekend?"
I frown.
Something is definitely up.
"No,pretty good actually.And yours?"
I slam my locker shut and start walking.
She skips beside me.
"Great.Mine was like,the best ever.I met this awesome guy at the party and we just clicked."
I grin.
"That's great.Did you do a little smooching?"
"No.However-"She pauses.
"He did ask me out on a date for Thursday."
"Aw,so did you need to borrow some clothes?"I ask,she wouldn't just come to me with this news without some kind of favor.
"Actually,I need a teeny weeny little favor."She says slowly.
"Out with it."
She sighs.
"My parents are going out of town for two days and that means I'm supposed to be watching Jake and Danny on Thursday."
"So what do you need me for?"I ask.
"Babysit them,please?I need to go on this date.I don't have his number to change it and we agreed to meet at Kelsey's."She clasps her hands together.
"Babysit?Jake and Danny.Why me?"I ask.
"They've known you for a long time and they love you.You're great with Danny.Please."She begs.
"Yeah, I'll do it.Of course."I say.
She hugs me.
"You are the best."
"I haven't seen them in forever."I murmur.
"That's a given,we haven't been at my place in forever."Betty said.
"And why's that?"I ask.
"We haven't gotten together as much as we used to.But,I plan on having you girls over soon."Betty says, checking her phone.
"Shit,gotta go.Thanks again."She pauses.
"Oh and,can you pick them up and keep then at your house and not mine?"
I shrug.
"I guess.But you just said you guys were gonna meet at Kelsey's so why not your place?"
She winks.
"In case we decide to come home early.And I don't want little rascals around to scare him off."
I wave as she runs down the halls ahead of me.
With Betty,you just never know.
***********
"Hey,"Blake says, I walk up to his truck and he rolls his window down.
"Hi."I say.
"Something wrong?"He asks, opening his door.
I step aside and cross my arms.
"No."
"You wanna go to my room?"I ask.
"Yeah sure,I don't care."
He says,putting a hand in my shoulder.
"Okay,let's go."I turn around to lead the way,his hand slides from my shoulder and onto the small of my back,he keeps it there as we walk up to the front door and I open it.
"Anyone home?"He asks.
I shake my head.
"Mom will probably be soon.But for now it's just us."
Once in my room I sit down on my bed and lean against the headboard.
