Chapter 18- Work

"Wake up, Miss." A soft voice said.

I opened my eyes to see the guy from yesterday shaking me slightly. I sat up, and cricked my back from the awkward position I had slept in.

"Morning." Darius muttered, rubbing his eyes.

"Here are your schedules for the day. Go to the kitchen upstairs for breakfast. The door is labeled, so you can't miss it. I hope you have a good day, you two." He said, handing us both a sheet of paper.

"I'm with you, Biff."

"Fliss." She replied, chuckling.

"Yeah, Fliss." I got my uniform and went into the girls bathroom, deciding to get first dibs on a shower.

I turned on the water and let it run kind of cold. I knew it was bound to be hot today, and so I guessed it wouldn't help to have a hot shower.

I didn't wash my hair, because I didn't want to get my dress all soggy and clingy with my wet hair. Instead, I just washed my body.

I got out and put on my dress, shoes, and jacket. It didn't look too bad, as far as uniforms go.

I walked out of the bathroom, and Fliss walked in.

"No fair, you two have first showers!" Gen moaned.

"It pays to be an earlybird. Do you fancy doing my hair?" I asked. It would give her something to do.

"Sure."

We took the box of bobbles, grips, and hair brushes from the bottom of the wardrobe and were debating whether to do a plait or a ponytail.

We decided on a plait, because I could always change it if I felt like it. She begun taking sections of my hair and doing it in a cage braid, right from the top of my head and down my back. It suddenly struck me how long my hair had grown.

Fliss emerged from the shower, and Gen went in. I did Fliss' hair just as Gen had done mine, as we all decided we wanted our hair the same.

Meanwhile, Steve was in ths shower and Darius was being all house-wifey and making all the beds. I was glad he wasn't leaving it to the girls.

Gen emerged from the shower, and Fliss did her hair while I just sat there. We were all eventually ready, and I was glad to say that none of us looked completely stupid in our uniforms.

We all emerged from the basement together, and took a right good look at the hall.

The entirity of the house we had seen thus far was white marble from the floors to the ceilings. The furniture was either glass or marble. It was amazing, but it kind of made me angry. Whoever owned this could affors to keep it like this, but had had to have illegal slaves. There are people who would die for a job in this house, to be legally employed by the person who owned it.

We found a white door with a gold plaque on it that said:'Kitchen'. When we went in, it looked like a full-blown masterchef kitchen. It was huge, and was only occupied by 2 chefs, which made it look even bigger.

"Ah, you must be the new house-hands!" One of the chefs said. He had blonde curly-ish hair and looked to be about 19.

"Something like that, yeah." Gen replied.
