Chapter 2-Exploration

The next day, going through the motions of school really weighed me down. I was pretty excited to start making money. I was anxious to meet Matt and Mark. I kept wondering if they would be nice to me. I couldn't fail at this.

When my final teacher signaled for the class to leave, I practically ran to my car. I couldn't believe I was starting work today! I pressed a number in my phone. It rang a few times before my mom picked up.

"Carly? Honey, is everything ok?" my mom asked.

"Yeah I was just calling you to remind you that I'm going to work and I don't know what time I'll be home." I replied. My mom and I talked a few more minutes and then I disconnected. It was finally time to start my first day as a maid.

When I unlocked the door I noticed the house was silent. I laid my stuff on the leather couch. A piece of paper was on the table beside the couch. I picked it up. It read:

Dear Carly,

I'm sorry I couldn't meet you for your first day. I'm out doing some shopping for dinner this week. Feel free to go through the closet in the living room. All the stuff you'll need to clean is in there. I've listed some things that need to be done before you leave. You can add on to the list if you have remaining time.

Thanks, Ryan

I went to the closet and picked out a broom and dustpan. I slowly began sweeping the rooms one by one. I peeked in the rooms before entering. I wasn't sure if I should go into the bed rooms so I didn't.

Time began to fly by as I slowly scratched things off the list Ryan left for me. I was tired by the time I got to the small pile of dishes waiting in the sink. I heard the front door open and close, with a sigh following it. I kept scrubbing the dish I had in my hand, trying not to seem nosy.

"Oh! I didn't know you'd be here! You must be Carly?" a familiar voice chimed. I gasped and looked up. There was Markiplier, in all his glory. Blue hair and all. I let out a gasp and the plate slipped from my hand. The shattering glass scared me out of my shock. "Oh gosh, are you ok?" he asked looking down at the mess on the floor. I ran to get the broom and began cleaning it up.

"I didn't mean to break it. I'll pay you back, I swear!" I said, shaking.

"It's no big deal! I should have said something. I scared you. Sorry." He laughed and bent down to help me clean the dish up.

I threw the glass away and finished with the dishes.

"Anything you need? I'm just about done with the list Ryan gave me. So if you wanted to add anything else, now's your chance." I said, blushing at how clumsy I must look.

"Yeah I hate to bother you but is there any way you could make me something to eat? I have a ton of editing I still need to do to make the deadlines for the day and I'm going to be swamped." Mark remarked.

"Sure I can, I'll bring it to you as soon as I can." I replied, grabbing a plate and the ingredients to make a sandwich. Mark left me alone and I let out a huge sigh. I work for freaking Markiplier?! I thought to myself. How awesome!

I carried the food into the only room with its door open and set the food down on the desk Mark was sitting in front of. I glanced at the computer with editing software pulled up and quickly looked away.

"Thanks so much! So you seemed pretty surprised to see me. Do you know me?" he asked, smiling slightly.

"Well I don't know you. But I know that you're a gamer on Youtube." I replied.

"So have you seen any of my work?"

"Yeah, I've been following you on all your social medias for half a year now." I blushed again. The front door slammed and two sets of feet came running toward the room.

"Mark! Good, you're home! Started editing yet?" Ryan asked.

"He better have! He has two deadlines to meet!" Another guy, I assumed was Matt, said.

"This is Carly, Matt, so nice of you to speak to her when you entered the room!" Mark said, motioning to me. Matt apologized and I waved it off.

"If you guys have nothing left for me to do I should probably head out." I commented.

"Guys anything you need?" Ryan asked. Mark and Matt shook their heads, "I guess we're good then, Carly. See you tomorrow?" I nodded and left.
