You are Brian, a skinny 18 year old man with rather long brown hair for a boy. You were sitting at home one night when your phone rang. You walked over to it and picked it up.
"Hello?" you asked.
"Brian?" the voice on the other end replied. It was Mrs. Reynolds, a friend of your mother's, that you had known for years.
"What's up Mrs. R?" you asked. "Is there an emergency?"
"Sort of." she sounded frantic. "Mr. Reynolds and I are supposed to be going to a special dinner, and we leave in a few hours... and our babysitter just cancelled. We need someone to take care of Bella while we're out."
Mrs. Reynolds had a twelve year old daughter, that you had met a few times, but not very often. Considering the age difference, you'd never had much to talk about.
"So Ben... are you busy tonight?" she asked.
"Not at all. What time do you want me to come over?" you replied.
"Around six is fine." she said.
You looked at the clock, it was just past five now.
"I'll be over as soon as I can." you said.
"Thank you, Brian, you're a lifesaver." Mrs. Reynolds gushed as you hung up the phone.
