The Babysitter



The Babysitter - in which a nerd loses his only friend. The adolescent boy, Cole, is slow to mature and has parents who hire a sitter for him when they leave for an overnight trip.

So, the plot is that Bee lets Cole drink alcohol so he will fall asleep, and then she has her archetype friends come over so they can sacrifice Cole to Satan, or whomever.

He is a resourceful scamp, so he defeats the high school team of idiots, and also steals a car. The pic is from a game of truth or dare.

So, she gets obsessed with him, and he encourages this friendship by talking to her, inviting her in, spending time with her, and taking her suggestions, like...
