"awAkEn my sON ."

"gaelin get up we're gonna be late . kearney , no need for the theatrics . he's a senior ." she sighed .

"alright . gaelin if you don't get up byyy .. 12:40 , your mother and i are going to leave by ourselves .... gaelin ?"

"gaelin ."

"let's just go we're only to get more late if we wait any longer . anyways , i think  margie's bringing soda bread ."

"alright then let's get going ." the door closed . the coast was clear . i planted my feet on the floor and stretched , hearing the front door close . i slid down the hallway and walked down the stairs . as i poured a bowl of lucky charms , i through about what mila had said yesterday . i wanted to do a sport as much as she wanted me to , i just don't know if phhs has what i'm looking for . i layed on the couch and looked through the monthly newspaper for job advertisements . there were several snow shoveling jobs and a couple different tree service job ads scattered across the grayish paper . unable to find a job , i face timed mila . 

"HI ," she said through the phone .

"hullo ."

"what do ya need me for ?"

"i have no idea what job to do ."

"well i don't know just do something you want i guess .."

"very helpful ."

"ok then .. uhmmm im pretty sure there's some type of radio station for the school that has a ton of jobs open and needs a better music taste ."

"i'll check it out . tHaNkS"

"uh huh ." i walked upstairs to my closet to find no winter shirts and walked over to my dad's closet and found a long sleeve gucci polo . it smelled like a college party so i just assumed he hadn't worn it since then and pulled it over my head . i shuffled back to my room and slid on a pair of joggers and new balance shoes . i called my parents so they wouldn't get overly worried when i wasn't home when they got back . the line rang for a minute before my dad picked up .

"gaelin we're in the middle of a serv-"

"heydadjustwantedtoletyouknowimgoingtogogetajobthanksforapprovingkbye ," -call ended . i grabbed my string bag and keys then hopped into the mustang and drove to phhs . when i got there , there were a few cars scattered around the large parking lot so i parked beside a car that looked somewhere between a race car and a lawyer's car . so pretty much a race car . (that was for u ma boi samiiii) when i entered phhs , i walked up to the front desk and told the man sitting there that i was there to get the papers for the radio station . he looked up at me with disgust and tossed me a key . i slowly backed up and turned around .

"find it just look for the radio tower in the middle of the woods ," he said . i did what he said and looked up to see a radio tower towering over the middle of the forest and started my walk over there . i used the key the man at the front desk gave me and opened the door to the small building . i walked in to see the interior was really super nice , like amazingly modern nice . there was a guy sitting on a bean bag in front of a coffee table where his laptop sat , earbuds plugged in . he took his earbuds out and turned around - it was chase .

"gaelin!! i didn't know you were joining the radio station ..?" he said , smiling . 

"yea , figured i might as well get a job somewhere near phhs ," i replied .

"well come in come in . your work station will beeee ... here ," he pointed to the area in front a mac playing music that was assumingly being sent out to the entirety of the leavenworth  . i set down my stringbag on the desk and looked around . "the school's got tons of money to spare so they spent a whole bunch on the radio team ." he pointed over to several old jukeboxes with no glass on the front . "a couple people from engineering worked here so they made those so we wouldn't have to use record racks . we've got elvis , billy joel , elton john , johnny cash , dolly parton , marvin gaye , stevie wonder , the beach boys - so on and so forth ." i flipped through the album covers . pretty much all of them were vintage .
