"Mel! Guess what? " I yelled as I walked into the house.
"What is it? "
"I got a job! " We did a happy dance together. I knew she would be happy for me, she too wasn't keen on school.
"Guess how much he's paying me? "
"$50 a day. "
"$20...an hour! "
"No way! What are you doing, cleaning the entire house? "
"Actually, just his bedroom. " I started turning red so I turned towards my room.
"His bedroom? "She said the 'his' in a weird way.
"Yes. "I responded trying not to show her that I was blushing.
"Let's just not forget what got us into this mess. Keep your pants on. "Mel said sternly.
I giggled and headed for my room, I'd always loved how straight forward Mel was.
I picked out my outfit for the next day and took a nap, I ended up falling asleep all night.

"Mandy! "
I woke up to the worst name anyone could ever call me.
"Mel! Don't call me that! "
"Why not! " I went downstairs without even changing.
"Because thats what Todd called me" I answered in a hushed tone.
"Oh." She answered in an equally low whisper.
I went back up and got ready for work. Work, that word made it sound like a professional job, like something that I had to do in an office. That was both exciting and depressing. I had to go and clean someone's room.
I had breakfast and said goodbye to Mel, in no time at all I was at the mansion. I looked at it, I think I got cold feet or something. Nevertheless, I rang the door bell. There was something evil about that man and I could feel it.
