He took the phone with a smile and obliged.

..operant word OBLIGED...

I'm with you, not only that, but it was brazen of that kid to do such a thing..Indicates a high level of entitlement..I sure did not get the feeling he was delighted by her manipulation..

You know, she is 17 years old, and was no doubt excited at everything going on. He could have refused for security reasons, or said he would call her mother later, but instead just took the call, as any normal person would.

Cut the girl some slack...she is just a kid.
