#82 - Jessi and the Troublemaker

Timeline
February of their 5th repeat

Plot
Danielle is a babysitting charge who had cancer and is now in remission. Since she is better, her parents are going out more often and need babysitters, so the girls have been babysitting her and her little brother often.

Since Danielle is feeling so much better, she is living it up - and causing a lot of problems. She tries to go skiing down their basement steps. She tries to create a swimming pool in the bathroom. The final straw is when Jessi is there and Danielle and three of her friends decide to take the car for a spin. They crash it into another car and one of the girls winds up with stitches. Finally, after that, her parents realize that they can't let her get away with murder just because she survived cancer.

While all of that is going on, Aunt Cecilia is inviting a man over a lot, and Becca and Jessi overhear them talking about a wedding. Without ever asking anyone in their family, the girls decide they have to be talking about their own wedding. Then they hear them talking about Saturday at noon, and decide that must be the day and time. So Saturday morning they get up, get dressed in fancy clothes and wait to be told about the wedding. As you may have guessed, it is not their wedding. They are helping at a friends wedding. Jessi is so so embarrassed because she had already told all her friends about the wedding.

The end.

Takeaways
The entire subplot with Aunt Cecilia's non-wedding makes no sense. 1. Why didn't they just ask one of the adults? 2. Jessi is an idiot.

Also, after they find out they aren't getting married, Jessi decides to try to convince Aunt Cecelia to marry the guy so she doesn't have to admit to her friends that she was wrong. So she like creates this date night for them and they were like dude...we are just friends, we are not getting married.

There is also some foreshadowing in this book that Stacey is going to be fighting with the club soon...the next book is called Stacey vs the BSC. She is late to meetings and constantly backing out of babysitting jobs and calling the other members to sub for her.

Best Character
Even though she is the "troublemaker" I'm going to give this one to Danielle because she beat cancer.

Worst Character
I have to go with Jessi and Becca because they were complete fucking morons and had to look so stupid when they got all dressed up for nothing.
