"Anna wake up!" Katy shakes my sleeping body.
"No," I mumble with my face buried in the pillow.
"Please, I need your help!" She wines.
"With what?" I turn over on my back to face her. I'm not sure if I want to know what she needs help with, though.
"I'm stuck babysitting three kids, and I can't do it on my own." She plasters on a puppy dog face. "Please help me," Katy begs.
"Ugh, when do they get here?" I ask, agreeing to help her.
"Yay thank you! They get here in twenty minutes." Katy cheers.
"Okay just give me time to change." I slip out of my warm covers.
"Okay, I'll be in the kitchen!" She calls back to me as she leaves my room.
Ugh, why do I get myself into this stuff? I quickly take a shower and brush my teeth. I scavenge through the closet trying to find something comfortable. I slip on a pair of sweatpants and a tank top; I grab a pair of fluffy socks to keep my feet warm. The weather's been getting chilly. I go down the stairs and enter the kitchen, and I sit down on one of the stools at the counter as Katy cooks.
"You hungry?" Katy asks as she flips a pancake.
"Yes, she is," Tyler answers for me as he enters the kitchen. He's holding papers and scanning them quickly.
"Busy?"
"Very." He bites into a pancake and sits on the stool beside me.
"Well, Anna and I are babysitting Farah's kids the whole day!" Katy cheers, obviously being sarcastic.
"I like kids; I used to help at a daycare when I was sixteen and seventeen." I smile.
"Yeah of course you did, your like an angel." Katy munches on her pancake.
"No, I'm not," I protest. I can be a badass if I want to.
