Elsa POV+

The cold evening breeze blow around my body as I stood straight in the front porch of my parents house.
I quickly took a big sip out of my coffee,so the wind wouldn't get it cold. I sighted heavily as I watched two pretty birds have a noisy conversation they look Happy, I mean they lives is so perfect they don't have to work or go to college they're just free... And I wish I could be just like them.
I'm do tired of being jobless, I see my life the same as vargant, but thankfully I live with my parent, staying jobless is not what I planned for this month, or this year. I finished high school six years ago and I could have gotten into any collage of my dreams, but I plan to work first because my family don't have money. We're not financial stable.
For the past six years I haven't gotten any job, and honestly I don't know what to do. To my own point of view,I went for every job interview but still yet I didn't get the job. I don't want to lose hope but somehow all hope is lost. I sighted my mom sitting on one of our leather couch chopping carrot on one of her favorite chopping board in our small living room.
"Honey... Dinner's almost ready why don't you go set up the table" my mom said and I dropped my coffee mug and breathed out a "sure" before waling away. After setting up the table my mom and I started to eat dinner without my dad. Being the only child isn't forgiving cause sometimes it will be me and my mom or sometimes just me. We both ate our dinner quietly until my mom dropped her spoon and looked up at me.
"What?" I asked cause her gaze was pretty strange. Thought it looked a bit relieved. "So I wanted to wait for the right." She smiled. "Wait for what?" I asked. " I found a job for you Elsa" my mom said and I gasped "really?" She rubbed her neck nervously. "Well I won't consider it as found a job" well I did see one but..." When?" I cut her off happily."uhmm maybe three or two days ago." She replied with a nervous smile. "Why didn't you tell me!" I smiled standing up.
"

You know I'be been busy with work and I also don't think you will like the job" my mom blurted. She didn't think. "Mom I don't care what kind of job it is as long as it pays" I said and my mom gave me a strong gaze. I laughed nervously. "Sorry I said out it of desperation". She nods in an understanding way and sighs. "Okay so about the job, don't get to excited cause I don't know if it taken yet but I hope it not and also a teaching job." My mom explained.
"Teaching job?" I repeated and she nodded. Worst job ever, I know how teachers suffers most from us, from elementary school to middle school and then high school when puberty starts to take charge of our body and we start to get really cranky and annoying, the stress behide it. My mom sighed. "I told you  wouldn't like the job." My mom sighed worriedly. She knows me to much and it feels like I made her worry all the time. Including now "you know it okay,I mean how hard can teaching be, it's a piece of cake". I can't continue being jobless and as long as the pay is fine I'm willing to work for it. That's just it.
"Okay honey, after dinner I'll give you the flyer where you'd find the detail's about the job and everything about it." My mom said and my eyes widen. A flyer?
"A flyer?" I repeated. "So you got to know about this job, just by looking at a flyer, and besides it would have been taken by anyone.
After dinner my mom and I headed to her room and getting there I sat on her bed while she rummage through her handbag. "Here" she smiled handing me a golden looking flyer, I took it from her and read what was written there. "Mathematics teacher needed!!!"
"See isn't that amazing you're smart, you're good with mathematics you're good with everything I bet the person you'll be tutoring will be happy to get a tutor like you." My mom beamed. "So where's the payment written" I asked turning the back of the flyer to see the white blank page. I looked at the writing and read it put loud "we are paying according to your taste. "Huh?" I looked up at my mom, "what does that mean?" I asked. "It means they pay according to what you tell them to... I think" my mom grinned with a light shrug. She thinks.
Wow I don't know what to say, mom are you sure this is real and isn't some kind of fraud or... "No it isn't, I assure you, go for it tomorrow and you won't be disappointed" my mom cut me off. I sighed and stood up. "Well mom give me your phone ." I said to my mom and she gave it to me, I dialed the number written on the flyer, on my mom's phone and called them. I need to take this job before anyone would, the phone rang for three seconds until a sweet female voice echoed from the other line saying. "Hello"
"Hi" I breathed out. "Who is this please?" The voice asked. "I...I saw your job vacancy for a mathematics teacher!" The woman gasped. "Oh yes, yeah."
"Okay so is it still vacant or is it taken?" I asked.
"No..no it vacant and we really need someone for this job." The woman said. Wow it must be pretty urgent.
"And about the amount?" Was my concern.
"Oh we'll talk about that when you get here".the woman said happily. Wow okay, my mind suddenly starts to calculate how much I need,"okay so how can I get address."? I asked. "Oh its written at the top of the flyer." She replied and my head looked down at it immediately. Wow it not that far from here,just take a bus and that's all.
"Okay seen,so when do I start?" I asked.
"Tomorrow." She yelled making.e flinch.
"The earlier the better."she added
"And what time should I make it there?" I asked.
"You start at three fifteen pm when my son get back from school, but since you're starting tomorrow why don't you come a little bit early."I could feel the lady smile.
A son, okay so we're tutoring a male here."okay sure."I said with a small smile and the woman thanked me and hanged up... "Finally" I breathed out.
"Yes finally." My mom said cheerfully making me laugh.
"Thanks mom. I wouldn't have small smile .
"Okay I have to go to bed early tonight I have a big day tomorrow"I said walkinhout of her room.
"Okay goodnight honey" my mom yelled behide me.
I plopped down on my bed immediately I got in my room. Finally I have a job, I just hope when I get there tomorrow it won't be anything bad, and besides I also forgot to ask who i'll be tutoring if it's a little boy or teenage boy or perhaps someone even older. Well I hope my last option is wrong, that night after taking a cold bath, I got under my covers and before I knew it I fell asleep.
The next morning, the sound of singing birds woke up even before my alarm gets to ring.
And I'm serious when I say those birds are super annoying, few minutes later I was in my bathroom brushing my teeth, I took a warm bathe later and went down for breakfast with my parents. "So Elsa, your mom told me you finally got a job." My dad said as we all gathered around the small dining table,I gave my mom a look before turning to my dad "I don't know if'd like to call it a job yet, cause I haven't actually met them in person." I replied adding butter to my toasted bread,"well I wish you best of luck."my encouraging dad said and I nod with a smile.
My dad left for work that morning leaving me and my mom and she talked about some few things before leaving for work, leaving me at home as always but today everything is going to change.
*****************************
I brought out all my mathematics textbooks,guidebooks and notebooks to help  refresh my
Brain,not that it needs to be refreshed,I'm doing all this out of a little bit of nervousness. I studied all my books till it was two thirty in the afternoon and I got a call from my mom saying the woman from yesterday about the job, called saying I should be on my way. I quickly moved all my books away finding myself closet looking for the most decent clothes to wear,after telling more educated and decent in a black mini skirt and blue shirt, I grabbed one of my handbag, fixed my phone and textbooks inside with some other things before heading out, I took the bus and I clearly remembered the address written on the flyer.
I finally got to the street and wandered about looking for house forty seven. It irks me to walk around like this but I had no choice, but finally I found house forty seven which was one of the biggest house in the street, the house gate was huge and thick but it was opened already it looks like a Car just drove in.
Nervously, I walked in and I met a man in uniform and I kind of figure out he'd be a security guy. "Good day, uhm may I ask who you're looking for...?" The security dude ask.
"Oh good afternoon, i'm here for the job". I replied.my eyes not staring at him but the beautiful and enormous compound to see it beautiful flowers."the Job". The man repeated. "Oh yes the job, please come this way." He said as he led me toward the front door of the house he said. "Mrs Huggins has been expecting you".
We got to the door and he opened it and we both walked in. My jaw dropped as we both walked in the living room, it was just so...I don't know the word for it but rich and classy would fit. "Please wait here while I get Mrs Huggins" the man said I nodded. I observed the good looking house in front of me and I just couldn't help but envy the rich. "Oh my God,you're here!" I heard a female voice and I looked up and saw a middle ageed woman with amazing hair walk down the gigantic stairs at a corner in the living room.
"Good day ma'am" i smiled. She must be the one who called. Her voice matched "just call me Freya, I'm not that old to be called ma'am you know" she said and laughed to herself. I nodded with a smile." Okay thank you so much for coming and you to Desmond,thank you for your hard work" she said to security man. And he nodded and left immediately.
"So young lady what's your name?" Mrs Huggins asked. "Elsa. Elsa Hathaway" I replied. "Okay yes please sit down." She said and I sat down and she sat opposite me with a huge smile on her face. Goodness she's pretty. "I'm so glad you could make it here, i have been looking for a private tutor since forever but no one showed up for the job, but here you are, I'm just so happy seeing you here." She explained with a smile. I don't like tutoring someone but I need the money. "Mrs huggins." I called
"Yes dear." She smiled. You said I would be a mathematics tutor to your son, may I ask how old your son is?"
"Oh my Jason will be Turing eighteen next week." Mrs Huggins smiled. Jason, so he's seventeen, going to eighteen. A teenage boy. Okay so this can't get any worse right? I'm going to be tutoring a teenage boy,teenage boys are really not the best. Well some are, I hope he's calm and coated.
I really hope so.
