Chapter 5 The Lame Babysitter
The night came when mum was to go to the party and I was confused. Was I going to babysit? Wasn't I grounded? Did she still trust me? The doorbell rang and all my questions were answered. At the door stood a lady with silky blonde hair and crystal blue eyes. It was already looking bad! She was a blonde and blondes always get into trouble! It was already obvious who she was but mum still insisted on telling us. "Children, this is Lucy" mum smiled. I could tell mum's smile was fake it looked like she swallowed a wasp while eating lemons! She introduced us to the babysitter. "Hayley is the oldest" mum said refering to me. I smiled but when mum turned her back I gave her the I-will-NOT-take-orders-from-you look. "This is Lila" she continued. Lila my angel-like sister was currently absorbing all the attention and glory. I rolled my eyes at her and walked off, this was just great. I sat in my room watching mum drive away. This was just great! No technology, no junk food and no sleepovers! "Hayley dear," called Lucy I cringed at her voice "Please come here!" If I actually had something to do I wouldn't have dragged myself down the hallway to face the blonde monster. "What?' I said pretending not to pay attention. "Do you want to learn how to knit?" she chuckled. I stood there staring wide-eyed. Was she actually serious? " Uh no, I'm busy!" I said sprinting away back into my room. If she ever comes back I'm going to lose my mind!
