"Yo Emily," Robert Stottle said, over the phone. "We need a little bit of your time."

Go figure.

I have a side job for volunteer work at the mall.

"How long is it this time?" I ask.

"Well you know the customers love you and all," Robert said.

"Robert," I said. "Stacey got sick again, didn't she?"

I sigh leaning my elbow on the table going through my hair.

"Nope," Robert said.

"...How long?" I ask.

"Just five hours of your time," Robert said.

I lower the phone.

My day off is now turning into a volunteer work today. So much for Monday being the crappiest day in the year. Tuesday is historically known as the shortest day in the year while some people complain it is really Wednesday. I am one of the people who say Wednesday for being short and crappy.

"Fine," I said. "I will be there in half an hour."

The phone call ends. I put the phone into my pocket and finish up the cereal.

Loki had gone off and ended up getting expelled from school. Loki is now taking online courses to finish his high school education. Getting Loki to accept the computer as something required in his life had not been the easiest to do. I taught a grown man in a teenagers body how to use the computer.

"Who is Stacey?" I hear Loki from the couch, pretending to be doing homework, while actually playing Rune Scape.

"A co-worker," I said.

I swear, Stacey is sick every Wednesday.

"...But who is she?" Loki asks.

"She is a co-worker of mine getting days off by being sick," I said, putting the empty bowl away. "Loki, seriously, get that homework done."

"I can always drop out," Loki said.

I shot Loki a glare.

"...Loki, you are still a teenager," I said. "Grades affect your chance of getting a job and I don't see you making magic."

"Fine," Loki grumbles, as I take my purse off the counter.

I can tell Loki does not like the education system at all. Mr Jrones had encouraged me to take a day off after someone ratted me out for nosing around about the project being created using my power. Well, lets say he took my key to the building away. I have not just one day but all of this week to think over about 'being a nosy rosy when I did not need to be'. Also he took the company car from me.

I shut the door behind me catching a glimpse of Rune Scape from the computer.

"THAT IS IT, PARENTAL CONTROLS WHEN I get back!" I shout, startling Loki.

Loki fell over off the couch landing on the floor.

So I am riding the bus, again.

I might need to replace that computer, too.
