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.162Please respect copyright.PENANAP71utZbREE

My mom was already setting up the plates when I arrived.162Please respect copyright.PENANA9i6sSJOJeR

"Morning mom. I'll be going out today. Will try to look for a part-time job nearby.", I said.162Please respect copyright.PENANAsY3Wt3zZUy
162Please respect copyright.PENANAPSZv2Ue7Rf
"Morning sweetie. What made you decide to get a job?", she asked.162Please respect copyright.PENANA4AiBRV8lQw
162Please respect copyright.PENANAEhcjleNB9N
"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.162Please respect copyright.PENANAZ42e0t1Qu3
162Please respect copyright.PENANA6jRheUo4tX
"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.162Please respect copyright.PENANAgEqbPqRjtY

"I cooked some eggs and potato croquettes. Let's eat!", I said.162Please respect copyright.PENANAybwBMpUaP5

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.162Please respect copyright.PENANAbbSYxdBdmL

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.162Please respect copyright.PENANA6CvPHq1wzQ

The balloon vendor caught my eye.162Please respect copyright.PENANAYcFxJDH4Hd

"Hi there! May I ask how to apply for a part-time job here at the park?", I asked.162Please respect copyright.PENANAen6sxn9KHz

"Hi! You may go to the town park's office over there.", he pointed at the small office near the lake.162Please respect copyright.PENANA21qnsMdORi
162Please respect copyright.PENANA2EAdXcbeVD
I thanked him and ran to the office. I entered and saw a man checking through some files on his desk.162Please respect copyright.PENANA0aIawbdmbZ

"Hi sir! May I ask if I could do a part-time job here in the park?", I asked.162Please respect copyright.PENANAyxNOATjK7q
162Please respect copyright.PENANANOwh6w7zIN
"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.162Please respect copyright.PENANAWJ2D5mSuBJ
162Please respect copyright.PENANAjeIb2Ka1g9
"Thank you!", I smiled.162Please respect copyright.PENANA7kZKXpMUCT
162Please respect copyright.PENANA30UX5LJeO9
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.162Please respect copyright.PENANA5gOalSsgRY

"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.162Please respect copyright.PENANAHKFUovQxtN
