"STOP IT!!!!"
"NO YOU STOP!!!"
"YOU'RE GONNA BREAK THE CONTROLLER!!!!!"
"This sucks..." Lauren groaned. A normal 20 year-old college student should be spending Sunday nights at the bars, showing off fake ID's, and taking selfies with their friends... But not Lauren. Instead, she was babysitting two idiots that did nothing other than yell at video games.
"THAT'S SUS I THINK HES THE IMPOSTER!!!"
"UR THE IMPOSTER DUMMY IT SAYS ON THE SCREEN!!!"
"SHUT UP!!!"
"YOU SHUT UP!!!"
Lauren was hating every moment of this and wanted nothing more than to leave, but she needed the money. Since she was in her junior year of college, her pre paid tuition for classes was running out. So she took up local babysitting to supplement her income.
*THUD*
"STOP THROWING THE CONTROLLER!!!"
"HE CHEATEEED!!!"
"HE'S NOT CHEATING YOU IDIOT!!!"
"ugh" Lauren groaned. These two brats, Bella and Alex, were no older than 10, but shouted more in the last hour than Lauren had her whole childhood! This family was the Warner's and their parents were going out to an expensive Italian restaurant with work friends, followed by a stay overnight in some fancy hotel. They were loaded and Lauren figured they probably let toys raise their kids instead of doing it themselves, considering how immature they were. But Lauren could care less, there was a big payout of a $130/hour for these demons and they pretty much gave her free reign on how to care for them. The only rules were to put them to sleep at 9:00 and not use the shower because it was under maintenance or something.
Lauren kicked off her shoes and put her bare feet up on the coffee table while slumping into the couch. She thought about how this was gonna be a long night until she heard her phone vibrate. Her roommate Amy was calling. She answered it reluctantly.
"Hey girlfriend! Everyone is meeting downtown at 10. Get ready and meet us there."
"No, I have to babysit again." Lauren replied.
"Come onnnnnn Lauren!!! You always babysit on Sunday nights! Kevin Bradford is coming and he's-"
"KEVINS GONNA BE THERE?!?!?!" Lauren exclaimed.
"Uhh, yeah. He's visiting again this weekend before he goes back home to his campus tomorrow."
"Nnhg!" Lauren slumped even further down the couch.
"I'm sorry you can't make it girl, but I'll let you know how everything goes, okay? Bye." Amy hung up quickly, probably to outfit herself in her prettiest dress. Lauren checked the time on her phone. It was 8:20. Forget it! She had to ditch this place!!! Her personal life was more important.
"Hmm" Lauren suddenly had an idea.
"CMOOOON UR BREAKING THE REMOTE!" yelled Alex tugging the remote.
"NO YOU'RE BREAKING IT!!!" yelled Bella tugging it back.
*Clink clink clink* Lauren stood up and clanked two drink glasses together.
"HEY! LISTEN UP!!!!!!!" she yelled setting the glasses down. Both of them looked at each other in disbelief.
"It's bedtime!" Lauren said.
"NO WAY! WE STILL HAVE 40 MINUTES LEFT!!!" Alex yelled while showing his phone with the time clearly showing 8:20.
"YEAH STUPID!" Bella said backing him up
Lauren gritted her teeth but stayed calm. "uhh well come on... I'll uhh... I'll read you guys a bedtime story."
"NO WAY!!! STORIES ARE LAME!!!" yelled Bella
"We don't own any books anyway" Alex pointed to the shelf of cooking recipes.
Crap! Of course that didn't work, it wasn't the 20th century.
"Come on! Isn't there anything else you guys want???"
"Show me your boobies!" yelled Alex
"WHAT?!?!?!"
"YEAH! I bet they're not even as big as Ice Spice." Bella giggled while scrolling through Tik Tok.
Lauren's face turned red in both embarrassment and anger. She couldn't take it anymore!
"I have a better idea!" She walked over and grabbed both of them by their arms and lifted them up in the air.
"Owww!!!"
"AHH!"
"How about I CARRY YOU TO BED!!!" Lauren yelled.
She carried them upstairs, down the hallway to their rooms, and set them down unceremoniously on the floor.
"Nighty night." she said as she turned off the lights and slammed the door shut.
"Phew. Glad that's over with." Lauren said wiping sweat from her forehead. She glanced down to see she was sweating all over.
