The Job

I run home, yelling for my mom.

“Lexa? What’s wrong?”

“Mom!” I say, hugging her tight

“We need to go. NOW.”

“What are you talking about lexa?”

“Mom pack your things now!”ʕ⁎̯͡⁎ʔ༄

I hurry back to my bedroom, hearing my mother say something.

“What the-“ I say in shock, when I realize that I had not escaped Andre Yu after all.

“Why, hello dear” he says

“WHY ARE YOU IN MY HOUSE” I yell

“Your mother invited me in, dear”

“Lexa Mae! Be nice to Mr. Yu!” Mother says, catching up.

“What?!” As I look back at the man who made me run like a cheetah, I catch him smirk.

“Anyway, as I was saying Mrs. Bale, I would like to give your daughter a full time job in my fathers company. Whom which I will be managing next month.”

“No thanks, I like to go to this thing called school. And why would I want to work with someone that made me run 100 miles per second?” I glare at him.

“You will be given your very own private tutor, and all of your expenses shall be paid.” He says

“Wait Mr. Yu, if I do agree to this, will you make sure that my daughter gets the same education that everyone in her class does?” My mother says

“Wait mo-“ I try to say, when Andre Yu interrupts me

“Yes Mrs. Bale, I know you are not doing very good financially. If it weren’t for your daughter’s intelligence, I would not even be here”

“Excuse me, I don’t want your stupid private totur or your ‘special’ job!” I yell

“I agree with Mr. Yu, Lexa. We aren’t doing good at all. I know you don’t want this, but this is for your own good.”

“I’m not leaving you, and even if i agree with the not so good financially thing, I would never WORK with this SELF CENTERED MAN!”

“Lexa! You are going wither you like it or not, this is a good opportunity for you! I can’t keep up with your expenses anymore, and you’re so close to finishing your first year of college”

I run out the room and into the bathroom. Crying away. When someone knocks.

“Your mom has agreed. I’ll see you tomorrow, by 8:30am I’ll be here.”

That was Andre Yu, I think. I sigh knowing I could not escape from this now. If only dad didn’t leave, then maybe this would never happen.

“Lexa, I know you hate me right now. I just want the best for you.” My mom says.

I open the door and hug her.

“It’s okay mom, I love you.”

“I love you too, hunny”

I could not sleep THAt night, but there was no turning back now. I had packed and my mother helped me. I would not be seeing her for a couple of months, and I would have to live with Andre Yu and his stupid rules. See me in hell, I guess.
