I get a knock on my door of my apartment. Hoping it's not my mom, I walk to the doer and look through the peep hole.
It's a police officer.
I open the door, and he asks if he can come in.
"Are you Mandi Matterson?"
"I go by Mandi Mars." My fake ID last name.
"Really? Can we see your ID?" Crap.
"Sure. Lemme find my purse." I show him my fake ID hoping he can't tell it's fake. It says I'm 16, I'm really 15. It says my last name is Matterson, but I put it down as Mars. I changed my birthdate and everything. It's like I'm a completely different person.
"Do you own a car?"
"No, just a bike"
"Why don't you? You are 16."
"Don't have a job, and broke."
"My police office has open spot for a filing job. Would you like to send an application?"
"Ok thanks! Wait, um, why were you here in the first place?"
"The landlord got suspicious. A 16 year old moving in by themselves."
"Oh. We'll thank you. For the job opportunity I mean."
"No problem. I'm Jake by the way," We shake hands, and he leaves.
AU: So I'm going to probably do short chapters and frequent updates :) I'll let you guys know if anything changes !
