Andrea picks up

Engaging Andrea mode he picked up the phone with an enthusiastic “Heyyyyy!”.

Kristi: “Heyyyy there! How you doing chica? How’d the babysitting go?”.

Andrea: “Oh it was a super sweet deal, the kid was a complete angel and the dad like gave me a hundred bucks! Can you believe it?”.

K: “Damn girl, you’ve got some skills! You must be the maternal type! Or maybe they just have some naughty babysitter fantasy :3”.

A: “Haha lol! Nah I guess it’s like the whole mom thing. The Johnsons said I was like the only sitter who been able to take care of him so far”.

K: “Haha, nice one! By the way, you doing anything this weekend, chica?”.

A: “I got like a date with Brian on Sunday, but I’m completely free Saturday. Watchu go in mind?”.

K: “Well don’t be mad at me but…”.

A: “Buuuuut?”.

K: “But I kinda’ sorta’ showed the photos I took of you to my manager, and he really liked them and wants you to model for the fall promotion we’ve got coming out!”.

A: “… no way”.

K: “Yeah way! You’ll be our literal poster child all over the store, plus you’ll make a cool grand from it. How’s that sound?”.

Andrew could definitely not risk his likeness getting out into the public like that, and was about to decline, when he heard a familiar voice behind him demand, “You better agree to it”.

Andrew was shocked to realise his mother had been listening in on almost the whole conversation.

Putting his hand on the receiver, Andrew tried to argue “But Mom-“.

“But nothing. In case you haven’t realised yet, you look nothing like your old self, Andrea. No one will recognise you. Plus that $1000 will go a long way to helping you prep for after you graduate”, Charlene reasoned.

This was true; Andrew did have a full-time paid internship lined up for after graduation, but he would do well to be rid of his mother’s influence after this fiasco, so the $1000 would help him restart his life.

A muffled “Hello? Andrea, you there? ~”, could be heard from Andrea’s mobile, and ‘she’ responded with “Heya, sorry, my mom just walked in. That would be so totally amazing, thank you so much babe! I promise I won’t like let you down or anything!”.

Satisfied, Charlene left the lounge with a smirk on her face, and her ‘daughter’ and ‘her’ friend chatted for another 45 minutes or so like gabby gossipy gals, before Kristi had to hang up.
