Chapter 3
What did you say, Jess?"
"I said that Zac has the hots for you."
"How do you know?"
"When he came home last night from the party, he said something like, 'Mom, I found the perfect babysitter for tomorrow. Her name's Zellary. Isn't that the cutest name? Zellary. It sounds like music. Anyway, she's 13, but not because she flunked a grade, she just has an early birthday. She has this perfect blond hair and eyes that change from blue to green, but most of the time they're green. Isn't that cool? Oh, and she seems responsible.' "
"Woah," was all that I could say.
"Do you like him?"
"Is Zac paying you to ask me this?"
"No, but remind me to make him next time."
"So Zac asked you to ask me?"
"No. But I'm not letting him get free service next time."
"You're so nice, Jessica."
"I know. So, do you like him or not?"
"Yea."
"Would you go out with him?"
"Yea, but don't tell him that."
"Okay. Can I tell him you like him?"
"If you want."
At that moment Avery came down the stairs. "Zel, you said you'd play Barbie."
"Okay. Jess, you can play if you want."
"No thanks," she said.
"Then you can watch a video or whatever," I said.
"I wanna watch a video!" said Avery.
"Zel, can we watch Spice World?" said Jessica.
"Sure," I answered.
"Yea!" said Jessica and Avery.
Once the movie was in, I started thinking. What if Jessica did tell Zac I liked him? Would he ask me out? Hopefully yes. Then again, Jessica might not tell him anything. Then he'd never know I liked him unless (gulp) I asked him out. Or maybe Jessica could be lying and Zac never said all that stuff. But then again, Taylor also said Zac said a lot about me, and Taylor seemed trustworthy.
Just then a doorbell interrupted my thoughts. "Mackenzie must be home. I'll get it," I said.
I walked to the door and opened it. On the porch were a tall lady with red hair, a young boy with red hair, and another young boy whom I assumed was Mackenzie.
"Hi, I'm Susan Richards. You must be the babysitter," said the woman.
"Yea, I'm Zellary. Pleased to meet you," I said.
"Well, I'm just dropping Mac off. Maybe I'll see you again sometime."
"Okay, thanks!" I said.
"Bye now, take care," she said.
"Bye," I said. Susan took her son, got in the car, and drove away.
"So, you must be Mackenzie," I said to the boy.
"Yea. Where are my brothers?" he answered.
"They had to go out, but they'll be back in a couple of hours. I'm Zellary and I'll be staying with you."
"Okay," said Mackenzie.
"Do you want to watch the movie with us?" I asked.
"What movie is it?" asked Mackenzie.
"Spice World," I replied.
"Ooh! Okay! I like Geri. She has big boobs!" said Mackenzie.
"Where did you learn that?" I asked him.
"Isaac," he replied.
We finished watching the movie and then we had dinner. Before I knew it, Zac and the rest of the family had come home.
"Hi, Zel. How were they?" asked Mrs. Hanson.
"They were really good. No trouble at all," I answered.
"Good. Here's your pay. I'll call you next time we need a babysitter," Mrs. Hanson said.
"Thank you. Bye," I said.
"I'll walk you out," said Zac.
"So will I," said Taylor.
"Um, Tay, I kinda need to talk to Zel in private," said Zac.
"Oh. Okay," said Taylor. "Well, bye, Zel."
"Bye, Taylor," I said.
Me and Zac went out on the porch.
"What did you want to talk to me about?" I asked.
"Zel, I have something to ask you."
