Can I Survive

Chapter 8: My First job

Clover's POV:

"Wake up buttercup" 

Ugghhhh

Who could that be, I couldn't feel the sun on my eyes, so it had to be before 6:00. Who wa..

"Come on Clover, rise and shine"

Neal.

Neal Scott had the guts to wake me up before my wake up time?
NO ONE WAKES ME UP BEFORE MY WAKE UP TIME.

I kept pretending that I was asleep. He would eventually leave the doorpost and come to shake me wake.

Sure enough, after about a minute I heard him walking over to shake me awake.

Before he could even have time to put his hands on me I turned around to face him and punched him in the stomach. He held his stomach from the pain. I then kicked him in the leg to trip him on the floor.

"What did I ever do to you?" he asked, his voice shaky from the pain.

"You woke me up before 7:30" I responded in a 'duh' tone.
He gave me a cold glare." Oh OK, never mind" he shrugged with a smirk on his face." I guess I get the new job" then he got up and left my room.

It took me a few seconds to realize what he just said.

"Wait, Neal, wait" I shouted and ran out of my room to catch up. I've always wanted a job as a SBIP. Today was my first day, I got a job and my jerky brother tricked my into giving it up.
How he tricked me you may ask - well he knows that I get SUPER angry when someone wakes me up before 7:30. He knew how I would react, he knew I would hit him and get mad. Ugghhh I hate how he knows me so well.
Neal stopped. I know he is smirking even though his back was facing me.

"Neal stop smirking and tell me about the job. You know I want it more than anything. So wipe that smirk off your face, turn around and tell me about the job" My voice was low and I tried my best to sound threatening but calm.

"Not until you say it nicely"

"Neal, honey pleassseee," I took a breath before I continued. "TURN AROUND YOU BIG BABY AND TELL ME ABOUT MYYYYYYY JOB" I was emphasizing the 'my' so he can understand that I want the job, and it's mine.

"CLOVER! Calm down" I turn around realizing that we were in front of my parents bedroom.

"But dad, Neal won't tell be about my job" I was whining.

"But dad, I went to wake up Clover and tell her about her job, but she punched me , then kicked me. So that concludes she doesn't want the job."  It was obvious he was imitating my tone from before.

"Neal, tell Clover about HER job, and Clover... Be nice. When he wakes you up be sure it's about a job, if not then you can do what ever you want to him." I was surprised that my dad said that, WOW.
My dad went back into his room. I turned to Neal.

"So.. You heard dad, tell me about the job."
A smirk crossed his face. A smirk that did not make me comfortable.

"Well you see... You have a job,  your first job, and I am so happy for you, I just wa-"

"Neal cut the crap, now spill."

"Fine. I don't know anything about your job. Carlos called this morning and said you have a job, but we will get the information about the job, at 3:30."

"WHAT!!!!!" I was furious.
That idiot woke me up before 7:30, dragged me out of bed, made me waste useful energy on arguing, brought my hopes up about my first job, just to tell me that I will get the information at 3:30. I am going to kill that idiot. UGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
