TO BE YOUNG AND IN LOVE

GOOD LUCK

Angelica forgot how much she hated Mondays. She hated Mondays even when she had nothing to but enjoy life but now that she was involuntarily working she just hated them even more. When Angelica woke up at the ungodly hour of 6:00am she had to afford herself at least 30 minutes to search her closet for her work clothes that she hadn't worn in a very long time. Once Angelica was able to uncover her old black pencil skirt and matching blouse Angelica quite literally crawled to her bathroom. She pulled her hair into a low bun leaving a few stray hairs to frame her face and went with a simple, safe makeup look she knew she looked good in due to the fact she would be surrounded by judgmental young adults and older adults who had very strong, judgemental opinions.

After making herself look presentable Angelica sat on her couch and decided to call her friends while she waited for her ride Thomas Jefferson. Because Angelica's parents were only paying for her essentials she was no longer able to splurge on Ubers and Taxis so she had to turn to another one of her exes. Angelica didn't believe in the higher being known as god but if he or she did exist she had to thank them for making all of her exes her best friends. Almost all of them , except for John Church but we don't talk about phone rang three times before Theadoisa answered.

"Hello."

"Hey , Angelica I heard the news."

"How. It literally happened two days ago."

"Abigail told me."

Angelica sighed.

"How did she find out?"

"Your dad told her dad and her dad told her."

"This is fucking great. Now everyone knows about my personal problems. My therapist and I will have a fun time dissecting that emotional package."

Theodosia couldn't help but laugh at her friend's dramatic personality.

"Ange I'm sure it'll be found. Your dad will try to teach you a lesson and then he'll give up

because of your stubbornness. Remember what it was like to ground you in highschool."

Angelica smiled fondly at the memories of sneaking out of the house to go to parties.

"Yeah, I remember."

"See it'll be okay. Go to work for a few weeks, kick ass and then forget about it."

Angelica nodded but was interrupted by the honking of a car. Angelica leaned forward to look out of her window and saw Jefferson impatient waiting.

"I got to go Theo."

"Okay, remember kick ass girl."

Angelica grinned and hung up the phone. Angelica gathered her briefcase that had been gifted to her a few birthdays ago, her flats and her unneeded resume considering she had already landed the job against her will.

Once she was downstairs on the sidewalk she let Jefferson drive up to her because she was high maintenance and knew that he would walk over a road of legos for her. Angelica swung open the expensive car door and was greeted by a familiar smile.

"Hey Angel."

"Hi Tom."

Angelica threw her stuff in the back before she sat in the front.

"So are you ready for your first day of labor."

Angellica couldn't help but roll her eyes

"It's not Labor. It's work."

"You're being forced to work. Sounds like labor to me."

"I hate you Jefferson."

"I love you to Schuyler."
