It was in the middle of friday afternoon. Jermiah and His friends were all seated at a table in the cafeteria talking about sports and girls, but One imperticular. "Come on Jer' all Im saying is that you have a hot chick coming to your house every Friday night, and you still haven't hit that? come on whats wrong with you?" Jerimiah's friend Jose asked. Jermiah rolled his eyes. "First of all, it's every other, Friday night, and second of all, why do you care?" He asked. Jose chuckled. "Because, If She baby-sat my brother and sisters, she'd be asking for more like that." He snapped his fingers. Jermiah stood up out of his seat. Well maybe that seducing charm works in your country, but this is America Jose, Get used to it." The table Of boys laughed.
"Ok, ok to defend my charm, Hows about we make a deal?" Jose asked,. The table sat quiet. Jermiah sat back down and listened. "What kind of deal?" He asked. Jose was one to make up the most freakiest deals so Jerimiah had to brace himself. "Well it's more Like a bet." Jose said, his accent was sinister. "Bring it on." Jermiah said. His confidence was strong. "Ok, I bet You can't seduce Ronnie Belicke, the babysitter, by the second marking cycle." Jose said. The table was still silent. And so was Jermiah. Wouldn't you guys pay to see that?" Jose asked. "I'd pay twenty." One guy said. "I'd pay fifty." Another said. Then the table of jcoks staarted throwing in numbers like crazy.
It took jerimiah a while to speak, but he made his decision. "Fine, but whats in it for you?" He asked Jose Who laughed. "Just the bitter sadness of a sixteen year old babysitter." He said. His bottom lip was poked out and he batted his lashed. Jermiah put out his hand, he and Jose shook on it.He thought to himself. Ronnie Blicke, you ass is mines.

Ronnie Belike had just finished her PE class, they talked about sex and the consequences of it. It made her sick to her stomach. She entered the Luchroom to where she saw her friends sitting at a near by table. She walked over to them. "Hey guys, what are you up to?" She asked. Her friend Jazelle was the first to open her mouth. "Nothing where just counting our babysitting money." Jazelle was a blonde with brown highlights, and she was slightly chubby. Ronnie sat down next to her. "How much did you guys make?" She asked. "Uh, I made twenty, Kara made thirty and Dj made thirty, you?" Ronnie stuck her hand in her hand bag and pulled out a fifty dollar bill. They all gasped. "No fair, she's probably screwing the dad." Kara said, her white teeth showing through her smile. "Not, he's in his forties." Ronnie said. "Girls quit it, don't be mad because Ronnie knows how to work for her money." Dj said making the girls laugh. "Ok, Ok, you guys had your fun now lets talk business." The girls all sneered. "No, lets talk boys, I heard Jerimiah Mcferly talking about you to his boys today." Kara said. "Really?" Ronnie averted her eyes to the group of boys sitting at a table north of them. "He makes me sick." She said her face whinced. "Aw come on Ron-Ron, He's cute, you should ask him out." Ronnie lifted her left eyebrow. Ok, first of all, don't call me Ro-Ron, second of all there were so many messed up thing in that sentence you just said." Ronnie said.
"He's not that cute, and I wish I would ask a dude out, today's not Visa-versa day." Ronnie said she was lying she knew Jermiah was more than cute, he was hot. "I wish you stop being so damn paranoid, it's not even that serious." Jazelle said. "Ok then you can Asked him out, because I rather be striked down that go out with him." She hissed. The girls laughed. "Don't temped me Ronnie." Jazelle said. Well look, I got to get ready for tonight alright." Ronnie got out of her seat, and headed for the doors.

When Ronnie got home, she changed out of her Clothes and put a more casual look on, a pair of blue and white Vans and A purple and pink stripped tank top. Her jeans were black. She put her caramel brown hair in a ponytail. After she was done. She went downstairs, her mom and sisters where down there, her sisters were four and six. Her mother was cooking dinner. "Mom, I'm leaving." She said. Her mother turned around. "Your wearing that?" She asked. Ronnie exhaled and rolled her eyes. She looked like she was in a biker club, with her black pants and black leather jacket Mother, not now, I'm already late." Ronnie whined. Fine, fine whatever, be back by ten." Her mother said. Ooh, Ronnie can we come with you this time?" Her sister raechel asked. "Aw, Rae, I would love if you guys come, but I don't get home until ten, and thats past your bedtime." Raechels face fell. "It's friday, and plus you promised." Her other sister Renee said. "Listen shrimps, I'll see what I can do, right now you need to go to bed." Ronnie said. Raechel and Renee looked at each other, laughed and then ran upstairs. Ronnie headed for the door. "Mom, can I see your keys?" She asked. Her mother tossed her the keys to the Cherokee outside. "Thanks, love you."
Ronnie put the keys in the ignition and drove off. It took her about thirty minutes to get to the Mcferly's house, they lived on the fortunate side of town, you know, where the houses all looked the same. But the Mcferly's house was huge. Seven bedrooms and a pool out in the back. It was Ronnies dream home, like some thing from barbies play house.
