Ivy White is in a hard place when she finds a good paying job she doesn't realize she has to work for the most popular boy on the basketball team, I take that back, the most popular boy in town...
I curl into the corner hoping to just sink into the corner of this wall, wincing as I wait for the next blow of the yard stick. I take my face from my palms see as I don't feel anymore stings I see them then and there about to make the blow, It doesn't come. I am awake now.
"It was just a dream" I whisper not to anyone in particular. I stand slowly as I take in my surroundings noticing I don't remember coming back to my apartment, but yet here I am, I Guess. I walk across the room to what I guess could be considered a kitchen... and a living room, bedroom, and I guess a dinning room too. I look a my yellowing white fridge, and look to see if there is anything for breakfast all I see is a carton of one egg and a cup of spoiled milk. I make the egg and get dressed into my nicest clothes a white button up shirt with a blue vest and my only pair of jeans that are not ripped all over the knees and cuffs. I have to at least look slightly presentable for my first nanny job. I brush my teeth and comb the nest of snarls that have embedded in my strawberry blonde head from my tossing and turning all night.
I walk out side finally ready I look at my sad beaten down car and hop in I start the car excited it actually started on the first try. I then take turns looking from the paper with directions to the road the traffic not being as as bad as usual Saturdays. I hear my engine start to pop like popcorn for I while I don't worry about this sound no longer knowing its just my car saying "I want to just go to a junk yard no more dealing with driving anymore." As I continue down the road I see my last turn I take the turn and glance at the paper again for a midge second quietly saying aloud "The mail box should say Snow on it" as I look around me I see that I am surrounded by fairly large homes increasing in size as I go further down the road as I look to the mail boxes I see the box saying "Snow" I drive through the miraculous drive way and park my car in front. My car slowly puttering to a stop I look at the home with a small smile I could be living here for a year if I tried hard enough! "wow" I sigh almost no words could describe this mansion.

I slowly rise finally letting my eyes depart the mansion when I see a middle aged woman running towards me with her arms open and a pleasant smirk. I give her a glance guessing she is Stefanie the mother,
"Hello! I am Stefanie we talked over the phone your, um Ivy right?"
"Ivy would be my name yes." I smile politely and give into her small hug she gives me. she takes my hand and drags me inside.
"Okay so Danielle is our current house cleaner we wish you not to you the word "maid" she prefers cleaner, oh and the boys are upstairs playing with Logan's blocks!"
"oh! um.."
"is something wrong dear?"
"No! Its just that I thought I would only be watching one child during the day. and- " she cuts me off "Oh don't worry dear Ashton is mostly a big boy all he needs is a house for the night and food, you won't have to worry about him dear!"
"Oh! Okay then."
"You can go upstairs and look around if you wish I can already tell I don't need to interview you I can tell you are perfect for the job, Just remember" she says as she lowers her voice "No leaving the house with out telling me or calling. I would like to make sure Danielle can watch over them if you really have to leave." she then turns and yells behind her "Boys! I have a meeting now and be nice to Ivy!" I turn to see a large open space and me standing in the middle of it. I walk across the floor to a large staircase that seems like the length of a hallway in my apartment building. when I get to the top I see a slightly open door I go over to see if I can hear if anyone is inside. I hear a small boy talk "Why does mommy work so much Ash?" I listen not trying to eaves drop then decide before I decide it would be best to just knock I hear- "well Mommy needs to make sure you get to keep you safe warm and" he hears me knock then all of a sudden I realize I made a mistake I know that voice Ash Winters, wait but that is not his moms last... my eyes fall to the floor and look up my cheeks filling with heat. "h-h-hi I mean Hello" I say as I straighten up and straighten my shirt. I stick out my hand to shake his hoping he doesn't recognize me. then I realized I am on the opposite side of the popularity scale from him of course he won't recognize me. I glance at him as he stares at me then my out reached hand.
"Are you the new babysitter nanny thing?" He says as my hand falls to my side.
"I um... No, Yes um do I know you?" Nice going Ivy.
"I think so I know, I know you, I said Hi to you yesterday at school." see now its going to be awkward well, at least it was now and not later when you are bound to embarrass yourself more later. "hey make me a sandwich!" I see the boy ordering me.
"I will. once I find the kitchen." I say a little grouchy already knowing I will have to work for Ash.
"here I can show you around not that the kitchen is that hard to find." he says as he grumbles and shoves past me. I follow him to the kitchen after only losing him in the building more than a few times. I can already tell I might not enjoy this as much as I thought.
