Cotton Candy Girl

Chapter 1

  Elijah's P.O.V.  

I'm finally in Arizona and I'm greeted by my aunt and uncle while I feel a little weird in my surroundings in the air port. "So you like it here so far in Arizona" my uncle Mark puts his arm around me making me feel more awkward than I already am. 

"Yeah it's alright even though I just got here" I look around the outside of the air port. "Good because we're going to show you the ropes and teach you some manners and some  discipline," she drags me to the car.

LATER IN THE DRIVE  

My sitting here hearing Uncle Mark and Aunt Sara blabber on about what I'm going to do what I'm going to do while I'm here but  there's one thing that caught me off guard when my uncle said when I had to get a job.

"Can we just roll back just one second here, I have to get a job?" 

"Oh yeah, what did you just think that you would just sit around here and not do anything this summer, well if so you thought wrong," she goes on and on again

"Hey Elijah you can help me around the fair, there's plenty of kids you-r" uncle Mark got cut off

"Mark he needs a real job not sitting around harassing people to do a stupid activity that involves knocking something down to get a stuffed animal, or almost get killed by those crazy rides and worst of all though miserable kids  that work there all they do is-" now uncle Mark cut off aunt Sara 

"Calm down calm down it was just a subjection Sara, plus it whatever Elijah decides to do it's his choice what he wants to do" aunt Sara gets frustrated

"Now if all else fails for jobs you can get a little tour okay, easy money you can come whenever" he turns to me and aunt Sara sighs

IN THE HOUSE

We finally get to the house, it's fairly big and uncle Mark helps me with my bags. "Now your room is on the second floor walk all the way up and your room is the last down on the left" aunt Sara leaves while me and uncle Mark take care of everything

"Is she always this mean" I say while we get up to the house

"Afraid so" he laughs

"Oh, well thank you for helping me uncle Mark" I smile

"You don't have to call me uncle Mark just Mark make your self comfortable just not to comfortable because you know who" 

"Cool okay Mark" I make the k pop when i say if name

When I go to my room it looks like a simple guest bed room. I put my stuff down and try to make myself comfortable. Then when i finally get to laying down miss terror walks into the room.

"Don't get to comfortable Elijah, tomorrow you're seeing him you can get any jobs and if not we're telling your parents what's up and you also have chores too now through Monday to Thursday you wash the dishes and do the laundry and you have a curfew too, since you're only seventeen uncle Mark decided for you too-" I cut her off asking a question so she could hopefully forget the curfew talk, I'm almost eighteen I don't need a curfew

"You don't want me here don't you aunt Sara" I sigh seeing if my trick would work, I would sometimes use this on mom and Emma

"I wouldn't say i would but we all have to deal with things we don't want now do we now where was I" she puts her finger on her chin like mom does when she thinks guess that's one of the things that makes them sisters

"Umm something about the jobs" and her head pops up

"Oh yes" she goes on again bout the jobs and finally leaves forgetting the curfew talk I finally settle in going to sleep after wards

NEXT DAY 

So it's the next day and aunt Sara has me already job hunting. It's now 4:52 and everything has failed since I have no job experience, I know I know seven teen and I don't have any job experience. So I go back to the house and luckily aunt Sara is not there at the moment she's at her book club and Mark is sitting watching the sports channel.

"Hey Mark is it okay if I take that job offer you told me about" I play punch him awkwardly. "No job huh?" I nod

"Yeah sure I'll give you a tour of the beauty lets go"
