The Job Hunt

Chapter 7: Sure Sure Sure

"Please."

"No."

"Pretty please."

"No."

"Pretty please with sparkly llamas feeding you chocolate ice cream."

She took a deep breath then let it out harshly. "Fine."

"Yay!" I squealed and did a small victory dance.

"You're lucky I'm such a good friend. You know that I don't get along with dogs. They hate me and I hate them. The feeling is mutual." She said grabbing the car keys.

I gave her a quick hug, "I know and I'm thankful that you agreed to help me. Now let's go see some dogs!" I rushed outside and climbed into the car. Pix and Brent followed and off we headed to a dog shelter.

~~~~~

"Your names please."

"Pix, Brent, and Danica." Pix answered.

"But I prefer Dani." I said quickly.

"Ok then, now how old are all of you guys?"

"We are all 17."

"Um I'm 17 and a half!" Yes it matters. Pix rolled her eyes at my unnecessary comment.

"Now why do you guys want to work here?"

"We need money." I said with a duh tone before Pix could answer.

"We all love working with animals and I think working at this shelter would mean a lot. To us and the dogs." She said after jabbing me in the side.

The lady just smiled at me and gave us green t shirts with a white law print on the back. "You guys are hired but I would need to discuss some things first. Do you have any experience with animals?"

"I had two pet fishes but then one of them ate the other so I gave it away because it would always stare at me with its little beady eyes like it was planning to murder me any second and-"

"Yes, we have some experience with animals." Pix answered professionally.

"Okay so here are your schedules." She said handing us each a piece of paper,"you all will be working the same shift with each other."

We all thanked her and walked out of the store reading our schedules. As I was walking I heard a horn honking and I looked up. I was standing in the middle of the road and a car was going at full speed straight at me.

I was like a deer caught in headlights. I couldn't move. Finally the car slowed down before stopping in front of me.

"Danica get over here!" Brent yelled from across the street.

But I couldn't pay attention to him because someone stepped out of the car.

"What the fuck are you doing standing here?!" The person yelled. They took off their sunglasses and I saw that it was Richard.

Yay

"Um...I was uh.... There was um.... You see I was just..... Ok so- I don't really know." I finally answered.

He looked at me for a while before walking over to me and helping me cross the street like I was a little old lady.

"Now stay." He ordered like I was a dog. He then poked my nose playfully before walking back to his car and driving off.

"Are you okay?" Brent yelled as he and Pix ran over to me.

"Did he hurt you?" She questioned.

"No."

"Are you sure your okay?" Brent asked again.

"Yes"

"Sure sure?"

"Yes Brent."I say rolling my eyes.

"Sure sure sure?"

"Yessssss."

"Sure sure sure su-"

Smack

"Yes I am completely fine." I say slapping him on the face.

"I was just making sure." He said rubbing his cheek.

I smiled and skipped away.

"The house is the other way." Pix called out to me.

"I knew that." I called back turning around and skipping ahead of them.

Yes, yes I know. It's been a while since I've updated and I'm sorry. I will warn you though that it might be like this since school is starting for most of us and that we will have to focus on that instead. Next update will come very soon.

Oh and of course I didn't forget.
