Spirited Mark

Chapter 6: Struggle

Marks POV:

"Alright people, we're going to sort separate groups." ordered Sean. I never knew that Sean was captain. Well yeah he's the best servant(duh). "Ok group one, you take the floors and the windows." group one nodded and rushed straight to do it. "Group two, you take the rooms." group two shrugged and went. "Group three, kitchen." they nodded nervously. "And finally group four, the bathtubs." group four groaned and whined. "No excuses, hop to it!". They walked over there and harshly went to work. "Mark I want you to come with me." Sean ordered. "Um okay." I didn't know what Sean wants me to do, so I followed him. But then we were interrupted by one of the counselors. "Sean, you will clean the biggest bath tub today." she said. "W-what?!! Can't you let anyone else do it? I'm kinda in a middle of something." "Sorry Sean, but that was Mr. Paul's order." Sean groaned in anger and went to where group four was washing the tubs right off the bat. "Oh my gosh! Guess who's going to wash the largest bathtub!!!!" said a girl who was washing a medium bathtub while making fun of Sean. "Ugh, leave me alone" groaned Sean. "Aaawww, just making fun of you." she smirked and giggled. Some of the servants snickered and giggled also. Sean ignored all the laughter and got a bucket with the sponge that was the size of his head. Me, however; I was in group one cleaning the widows and floors in no sweat. When I was eight, I started to do some chores everyday mostly. My mom made me do two or three chores after I play video games. Now, I'm starting to clean every single floor and window perfectly clean. After I was done with the last window, It was break time for group one. I decided to go look for Sean to see how he's doing, apparently he wasn't halfway done. Sean grunted to get the stains off but it was like permanent ink. "Ugh, this bathtub hasn't been washed up for months!" Sean tiredly said. "Who needs a bathtub this big" I questioned. "Its for our most biggest and filthiest guest." he answered. "Um, okay." I nodded in agreement. I didn't want Sean to be left out here alone washing a large bathtub with no help. "Hey, do you need a hand?" I ask. "Psh, no way, beside it break time for you." Sean slipped in a puddle of mud and some of the servants howled in laughter quietly. I didn't want Sean to be left alone and made fun of these servants. The servants left and continued to work. I made my move. "You seriously need help." "sigh, fine.". We both started brushing the stains and mud in the tub. It wasn't bad for me, But Sean wasn't doing better. When we were in the middle of scrubbing the bathtub, one of the servants came and told us we had customers using this bathtub. "WHAT! This is so unfair!" yelled Sean. "I'm sorry Sean, customers can't wait." Sean climbed up from the bathtub and stomped in anger.  I continued to wash the tub until the girl who made fun of Sean wanted to help me. She introduce herself as Signe. She told me there were tokens to clean the bathtubs faster. I nodded and decided to try it. I went to see the counselor if they had some tokens I could use. "What? I'm not gonna waste a token on you." She hissed. "But I need it for the large bathtub I'm washing." I argued. The counselor ignored me and got a call from Mr. Paul. "Hello? Oh, hey! Mr. Paul? Oh yes, this is she." I waited impatiently to get a token until a girl whom I saw her at the bridge came up to me and she knew what I wanted. She turned invisible and took a  token while the counselor was in the middle of calling Mr. Paul. The counselor noticed and tries to snatch it but the girl was pretty fast to put it in my hands. I ran quickly as possible to not get caught. The counselor yelled at me but she forgot that she was in a call. "What in a carnation is going on here?!!?!" Mr. Paul yelled. "N-nothing sir." the counselor calmly said. The counselor hang up and sigh in tiredness. I went back to the bathtub and slide the token in the wall until the ceiling opened up a large pipe. the water spewed out in the pipe rapidly. It was so satisfying to see all the water cleaning all the gross things in the tub. When the water was done cleaning, I looked back and saw the girl who gave me the token and brought more tokens for me. I realized that she stole them. I shook my head to her.  "I only needed one, but thanks." I answered in politeness. She backed away. Her smile faded away and drop all the tokens on the floor. Then she disappeared. I didn't mean to offend her, so I pick up all the tokens and put it in a bucket until I smell something foul.
