Jamie's POV
"I'm leaving to go into town!" I yelled at my mom. "Daniel's at Max's house, by the way."
I'm Jamie. Jamie Night. Average teenage girl whos mom is a drunk. Yay. How fun. (Sarcasm in case you didn't catch the hint) Ever since my dad left, I had to take care of my ten year old brother, Daniel. And recently my mom got laid off. So it's my duty to find one. Which is exactly what I'm doing.
"Alright sweetie! Be back soon. Ill be cooking spaghetti." She called back from her room. I slip on my Converse and locked the door behind me.

I walked into town, looking for that magical "For Hire" sign. Its kind of hard to find a job in Tecumseh, Oklahoma. I wiped sweat from my hairline and kept looking.
"Of course there's not a job. Might as well get comfy on the streets" I mumbled to myself. I was about to turn around when a red and white sign caught my eye. I turned and found the magic, wonderful, amazing sign. I squealed and walked over to the bookstore. I pushed the door open to find the store empty.
"Hello?" I called out.
"Oh hello sweetie! Welcome to Rent & Read. What can I help you with?" An old lady asked, who I presumed was the manager.
"Um hello. Im here about the for hire sign." I answered.
Her eyes lit up instantly. "Oh my! Aren't I a lucky old woman! Well tell me why you need the job."
I blushed furiously. "I um... I need to pay the bills for my house." Talk about being embarrassed.
"Oh well in that case, your hired. Can you start tomorrow?" She asked.
"Sure! Well I need to go. See you tomorrow Mrs..."
"Walker. Mrs. Walker." She smiled again.
"Okay... bye Mrs. Walker." I rushed out of the store. Mind blown would not describe what I feel right now.
That sweet old lady was the grandma of my worst enemy.
Matthew freaking Walker.
