Harper's POV
I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock. I stopped it and stifled out a yawn. I sat up and stretched a bit before going out of bed. I go to the bathroom to take a quick shower and wore some casual clothes. I dried and comb my hair then went down the stairs to cook some breakfast for me and my mom.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcOb7iIBlF

My mom was already setting up the plates when I arrived.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal6hL48WXU

"Morning mom. I'll be going out today. Will try to look for a part-time job nearby.", I said.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvN9D7hIQOu

"Morning sweetie. What made you decide to get a job?", she asked.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9xVXP2MQk

"I want to earn some money to help you mom. With dad gone and all. Besides, I want to try changing up my daily routine everyday.", I replied.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLVcD7fU0u

"Okay. But try not to worry about me. I'm doing fine at work and earning enough money for the both of us. If that's what you want, then I'll allow it.", my mom said.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukHiWyqae6

"I cooked some eggs and potato croquettes. Let's eat!", I said.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33VrRM6AZ6

We both ate breakfast and I told her I'll be leaving after eating. She nodded and I placed my plate and utensils in the sink. I waved goodbye and left the house. I removed the lock on my bike and moved my bike to the road. I mounted on my bike and rode it, going to nearby coffee shops and bookstores.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZBVgkqU8n

I asked several coffee shops if I could apply for a part-time job but they declined since they weren't open for any job openings. I also tried asking the bookstores but they did not need any since they were fully staffed already. I exited the last store and let out a big sigh. Then I saw a park nearby. I went there and saw some pop-up stores and vendors selling food and balloons.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFG4pjcXKj

The balloon vendor caught my eye.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJfMz6D2wq

"Hi there! May I ask how to apply for a part-time job here at the park?", I asked.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQcefxhTUj

"Hi! You may go to the town park's office over there.", he pointed at the small office near the lake.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDSLHO1F78

I thanked him and ran to the office. I entered and saw a man checking through some files on his desk.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UZWCic36k

"Hi sir! May I ask if I could do a part-time job here in the park?", I asked.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKeq8FAYuT

"Hello miss! Yes you may. You may look through this list of jobs available here and fill out this application form. Place also the job you want to do on the top right of the page.", he explained.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkmPeHtRaF
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX1QKwbpCK
"Thank you!", I smiled.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHzoJUDSXr

I looked through the list of jobs and I picked two of them: musician and balloon vendor. I filled out two application forms and gave them to the man. He looked through them and gave me a thumbs up. Then he told me to let him know the schedule of when I could do the jobs. I told him that I could play music on Wednesdays and sell balloons on Friday's after school. He took note of these on a sticky note and placed it on the whiteboard hanging on the wall.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrWfNe8xCd

"All right, Ms. Stevenson. You may start next week. Your daily salary will be given every month. Just give me a call on this number for emergencies or if you are not available. Have fun!", he said.
"Thank you, sir! See you next week.", I beamed.
I leave the office and checked the time on my phone. It was almost lunch time but I was not hungry yet. I decided to go to the bookstore to look for some new books to read.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBaYP29WjY
