Who knew, at the tender age of sixteen I'd be homeless. Sitting in an alleyway beside a random bum whom isn't even considerate enough to wake up and talk to me.
Grumble grumble grumble.
Great now I'm hungry. How did I end up in this situation you ask?. Well I'll tell you. A few weeks ago, my parents died in a car accident, it was painful that they were gone but I couldn't get depressed over it. Because I didn't have a job I got evicted from my home. I'm not close with any family members so I had no choice but to live on the streets. I was starting to get used to it. The only difficult part about not having money was not being able to buy food. I had to resort to stealing. I'm not proud of it but you gotta do what you gotta do.
Grumble grumble grumble
Shhh stomach shhhh. I was lucky there was a convenience store, close by to the alleyway I stayed in. It was easy to steal from that place since the man that ran the store Kakashi I believe his name was never paid attention. I stood up quietly, making sure not to wake up Stan..or was his name Boris? Ugh whatever that homeless guy's name was. I crept around the corner glancing from side to side to make sure there were no cops or anything. I reached the store then opened the door. The bell rang loudly which always made me flinch.
"Welcome" The man behind the counter sighed not looking away from his overly suspicious looking book. I didn't reply, I just swiftly went over to the snack aisle. I stuffed my old torn bag pull of cookies, chips and other small snacks, after it was full. I glanced back at the man to make sure he was still reading, of course he was. Now it was my chance to escape. I hurriedly raced towards the door. Heh Sakura wins again!.
"Where do you think you're going?"
I was grabbed by the back of my collar….CRAP I was so close…..I'll be arrested for sure. Well it's better then sleeping on the streets I guess.
I glared looking over my shoulder, the voice was not the same as Kakashi's it was different , I didn't notice anyone else in the store. The person who caught me was, even though he had a scowl on his face very handsome. Dark hair, dark eyes. Tall too. "Let me go" I hissed.
"Hand over your bag"
"No"
"You have to pay before you take things. Are you that stupid?"
"I'm not stupid, I just don't have any money"
"You can't leave" "Kakashi, why weren't you watching?"
Kakashi looked up from his book for a second "Oops, sorry"
"Hey, I'm just taking what I need when I get a job I'll pay you back, and who are you for making such a big fuss?" He acted so high and mighty. It really pissed me off.
"I'm the owners son, Sasuke Uchiha" he stated.
My jaw dropped..Uchiha?...they owned almost everything in this town crap I was messing with a super powerful guy…oh god if he wanted to ..he could have it that I receive the death penalty. Ugh I really am stupid after all.
"I don't care, if you're an Uchiha or even if you're god I'm not giving this back" WHAT THE HELL…why'd I say that?
"Shall I call the police then?"
"NO, please I'm just starving, I won't take anything else ever again"
The Uchiha stared at me for a moment "The cameras in here have caught you stealing things from here many times, how can I believe such a thing?"
He had me there, I'd most likely break my promise…I couldn't be trusted.
"I'm sorry, like I said before I'll pay you back after I get a job"
"Who would hire someone like you?, you're all ragged and unkempt"
Dammit he was right…..it was hard enough finding a job for a regular person. No one would, look twice at me with the way I am now.
"W-well can I work here then?"
"No"
"WHY?"
"There's no positions open"
"Oh"
I lowered my head handing the bag of food over to him "I apologize for stealing from you I won't do it again"
I turned around to leave, this really sucked…big time.
"Wait"
I spun around "You're letting me keep the food?"
"No"
"Oh"
"If you're that desperate to eat, I do have a job you might be capable of doing"
"I though you said there were no job openings here"
"There aren't, it's not here"
Huh this seemed kinda sketchy why would he randomly offer me a job when I was just trying to steal from him. The smirk on his face was also really creepy.
"Well..where is it then?, this better not be some kinda sick trick"
"It's in my own home, you'd be working as a house keeper or a maid ..if you will.
"A-A Maid?"
"Would that be a problem?"
"Why are you offering me this I mean it just seems so suspicious"
"I thought it'd be interesting, besides I've been needing a maid for a while. The job includes a room of your own and as much food as you can eat"
FOOD
"Alright, I'll take it"
Even though I'm a little unsure of this….my stomach says DO IT DO IT DO IT.
Sasuke raised a brow "Well then, shall we leave now?"
"Wait..like right now…this very second?"
"It's not like you need to pack"
" Hey you don't have to be a jerk about it"
"Let's go"
Sasuke walked out the door, I followed after him. When we got to the parking lot I was speechless. A fricken sports car was parked in one of the parking spaces. The Uchiha walked over to it unlocking the doors. "Get in"
God the Uchiha's really were rich. I got in, glancing around nervously. "Uhm so..how far is it?"
"Not far" He sighed pulling out.
I leaned back in the seat, this felt so strange. Only a few weeks ago I was happily living with my parents. Then I was forced to live on the streets…now I was moving in with a complete stranger. My life would never be the same that's for sure.
Sasuke didn't say anything to me the whole time he was driving ..it made me feel even more uncomfortable. It felt like I was sitting there for hours and hours I almost felt like jumping out.
"We're here"
"Huh?"
"Get out"
We were parked in front of a huge mansion. It was amazing I'd never seen anything like it in real life. A fountain was in the middle of the lawn, flowers bloomed everywhere. The house itself had large windows and a brick roof. The door was huge and wooden. So awesome.
"Hey how long are you going to stare for?...c'mon"
I snapped out of my daze "Oh, right! Sorry" I followed the Uchiha in to his home. It was even more amazing inside I was overwhelmed by it.
I glanced at Sasuke "I can't believe you live here, do you live alone?"
Sasuke looked at me for a moment then smirked "No"
"You're parents live here?"
"No"
I furrowed my eyebrows "uh who else lives here then?"
"Four other people live here, Naruto Uzumaki , Gaara, Shikamaru Nara and Neji Hygua.
"All guys" My jaw dropped.
"That's right"
"Where are they all…..right now?"
"Who cares" Sasuke shrugged "You'll meet them soon enough, their most likely at school"
"Why aren't you in school?"
"I skipped"
"That doesn't sound very smart"
"You're annoying, I don't pay you to talk"
I glared "Whatever, what do you want me to do first?"
Sasuke chuckled "We'll wait until the others return"
