Chapter 1: A Simple Choice… Isn't It?
-Jou's POV-
School sucks!! Damn it, if I didn't need the education to get a good job so I could pay off my old man's debts, I would have dropped out long ago! … No that's not right, Yug' and the guys would probably try to get me to stay in school.
I'm walking home from school as I think about how SUCKY my life is.
My dad is such a drunk! I don't see how anyone can put their own son through all this!!! This is such bullshit!!! Doesn't he even care that I work my ass off day after day just so that we don't lose my apartment?! He probably doesn't even realize we had to move out of our old house because it got too expensive for my salary.
My eyes narrow in my anger and I glare at that street sign as if I am blaming it for all of my problems.
He's such a drunk and a slob. I'm always cleaning when I'm at home. The rest the time, I'm at work. I don't even have time to hang with the gang too often any more 'cause I have to use lunch to do my homework… I'm glad they understand and I think it's nice that they want to help, but this is something I have to do on my own.
My eyes soften and a smile comes across my lips as I think of my friends.
Yug' has been the best. Helping me with my homework and tutoring me during lunch and study hall. He's the best friend I could ever ask for!
I'm grinning now. Even thinking of my friends make me feel better. Now of to work. I can't stop grinning.
-Seto's POV-
She quit… Why in the 7 hells would she quit? Was I not paying here enough? Did I call on her assistance too often? Did Mokuba give her hell while I was away? Did she have too much work? Damn it!!! She should rot in hell for this!!! Leaving me with no other options! She even refused a pay raise!!!
I'm here in my office seething as I think of my ex-secretary who just up and quit on me a few moments ago.
She didn't even give me 2 weeks notice!! THE BITCH WILL DIE!!! I swear I'll kill her for this!! For having me to actually put up a want ad!!! THAT BITCH WILL GO TO HELL IN A HAND BASKET!!!
I get a piece of notepaper and started a rough draft of the ad I was going to put into the paper.
THE BITCH WILL DIIIIIEEEE!!!!!
NARRATOR
Jou opened the newspaper to find a better job. That's what he did. He went from one job to another for better wages. He had to or he wouldn't be able to support him and his drunken ass dad. One caught his eye.
"BABYSITTER, HOUSEKEEPER,
AND SECRETARY (all in one)
NEEDED IMMEDIATELY!!!
Opening Wages: $5,000 / 2 Weeks
Fax/E-Mail Application to Kaiba
Fax: 223-564-7788
Phone# for questions: 233-435-8867"
'Kaiba Corp… I suppose I should at least try for the job. What do I have to lose?' he thought to himself.
Jou made up his resume and sent it via e-mail using his computer. He was lucky he could afford it.
-Seto's POV-
No one is fitted for this job!! I have yet to find one decent resume, done at least correctly. THAT DAMNED BITCH WILL DIE FOR LEAVING ME TO DEAL WITH THIS!!!
Not ONE worthy of call back!!
I'm here in school reading the e-mailed resumes and I have yet to find one suited.
Grrrr…
What's this? That mutt is applying for the job?
Hmmmm…
This resume is in complete order… Very well mutt, let's see you're previous jobs… quite a few pup, did you get fired often, no, other wise they wouldn't vouch you, huh? Hmmm… presently working at a children's center for kids 10 months-15 years old? Hmmm… Impressive, mutt, but I have to wonder why they would let a stray dog near kids. Hmmm… I'm not sure if you're right for the job…
I'll call you in.
I get my cell phone and call the number listed.
How well can you handle yourself in a face to face interview, pup?
-Jou's POV-
I walk into my apartment where my dad is asleep on my couch. I walk to the phone and hit the play button on my answering machine.
Threat…
Threat…
Threat…
Debt Collector…
Kaiba…
Wait… Kaiba? I hit 'replay' to hear the message.
"I suppose you think it would be a pretty good joke if you applied for the job, huh, mutt? But when you apply for a job at Kaiba Corp. I take you seriously. I reviewed your resume today. Very impressive, mutt come to my house this Saturday, no exceptions!"
I stare at the machine. He wants an interview? I suppose I should go to the meeting, don't want to piss him off and him get me fired from my job. Sigh. I guess I should get to my homework and worry about Kaiba at our meeting tomorrow.
