    "I'll be back at seven. OK" my mom had a meeting at work and I would be home alone for quite some time but that was OK." I had homework and turning sixteen soon I need to get a job. Now would be a great time take care of all of that.

    "OK mom. Love you! Bye!" Now I can get to work! 

    1 hour later

    I sat back and sighed. I had finally finished my homework. I never have fully understood why my teachers always gave a lot of homework. I pulled the job page from the newspaper out  very carefully as to not dump all of the other pages on the floor and started reading the descriptions.

    "Dr. Harrisons Fun House" No thanks.

    "Cleaner-Upper at Farm Land" Umm I would prefer to not clean up horse crap everyday.

    "Mrs. Baits 2nd grade helper" Well... that could work.

    "Royalty on Occasion" hmm... "Would you like live a royal life? Well I have the job for you! Call Penelope" That's stupid they dont even give you a phone number! What am I supposed to do?

   "Oh I think I'm going to call Penelope... Doo doo doo. Penelope!"I yelled in my goofiest voice. I leaned my chair back and yawned. "This is useless."

    "You called" A faint voice from behind me scared me like crazy.

    "Who are you?" I asked before tuning around.

    "Why don't you look and see?"
