BritTana - Their Fairytale Love Story

Chapter 3 - Wishes

"Brittany, You're fired!!!"

That was my third time this year to get fired because of my stupidity. Yes, I'm stupid, very stoooopid like what my highschool classmates addressed me. Everybody knows that I'm stupid and none of them believe that I am a real genius. Maybe I'm just so clumsy and shy and I have no confidence at all but I know I can be a great person someday.

I am now leaving the coffee shop where I got fired. It was just 3 months since I was hired here. And I got fired because I gave a wrong coffee to one of our customers. Now, you thought that I am stupid, it's alright I'm used to it.

I decided to walk and go to the city. I just want to be relax. I want to feel happy even I'm alone, literally I'm alone. My parents died because of a car accident and I am their only child. I grew up with my uncle Will, who treats me like his own daughter. Uncle Will also has a daughter named Quinn who is working as a secretary at a magazine company, the S Magazine.

I also want to work there but I'm not sure if they will accept me because I'm stupid. But maybe I need to talk to Quinn so that she can help me to apply at their company even as a low ranked employee or as a messenger or delivery girl, a driver or whatever job they have.

I know that S Magazine is the number 1 magazine company in the world because the content of their magazine is unique and very artistic. I am slightly jealous on the owner because he/she was the mind behind every pieces of that magazine. Maybe that person is born genius.

I suddenly stopped at a stall whose selling different kinds of clock. I love clocks or watches because they remind me that every second is important. And you must live your life to the fullest but I don't know why I don't have the guts to act like a normal person. Maybe I'm still scared to be alone. Maybe I need to find a friend to help me with my problems.

"Hey pretty girl, do you want to buy this vintage clock? I will give it to you for only 10 bucks." A blonde salesman offered. I'm not pretty sure if that was an authentic vintage clock but it looks familiar to me. It feels like I already saw that clock a long time ago. Maybe I saw it in the internet when I try to research for different clocks and sundials....and also unicorns.

"Okay. I'll buy it." I spend a 10 bucks for a vintage clock, and that was the only money that I have. A part of me was against of buying that thing but the other part urge me to buy it, I don't know but I feel that it really belongs to me.

"Thank you for buying our vintage clock. And wait,.................You can wish to that clock Miss Pierce." the blonde salesman told me after giving the clock to me. He smiled and I just nod to what he told me.

"Wait, how did you kno-" I am confused on how the salesman knows my last name.

"Your nametag." He cuts me off and smiled at me.

The blonde salesman was right and yeah I'm still wearing my nametag. How stupid I am! I forgot to unpin my nametag and so I did so no one except for this salesman will know my name.

I started to leave the stall and I decided to go home. It was still early for lunch so maybe I'll watch a movie first.

I forgot to mention that I am now living on my own. I told Uncle Will that I wanted to be independent because I feel that I am no help in their house. I just wash the dishes, cleaning their room, sometimes I cook but it feels like I'm just a burden to their family. At first Uncle Will was against at that idea and he explained that I am not a burden to them but I insist until he agreed to it.

I walked and walked and walked until I reached my apartment.  I opened the door of my apartment then I went straight to the kitchen. I am hungry, starving and thirsty because of the walked I'd made. Unfortunately, I have no food left, just water, so I have no choice but to just drink water.

After I drink a lot of water, I decided to lay down in my bed and just watch TV. I don't have any plans this day since I was fired just this morning and I don't have so many friends to hang out with.

Ring....Ring.....

I jumped, feeling surprised when my phone rings. It was weird because who will call me at this hour. It was just 8 in the morning and I know that most of the people here are busy with their own business.

"Hello. This is Brittany. Who's this?" I answered the phone and I don't know if I sound polite or what. I just don't know what to say.

"Hey Britt, it's me Quinn. Are you busy right now? I will visit you in the coffee shop." It's just OMG. What will I gonna tell Quinn? I just got fired this morning. I am having a heart attack right now! I know Quinn, she will gonna shout at me for being unemployed again.

"Hmm Quinney, I have something to tell you." I am so so nervous right now like my heart will burst into pieces.

"Britt, you got fired again, aren't you?"

Quinn's voice was higher this time and I just gulp dryly because I know what will she gonna do.

"Yes,...ahm.. hmm I'm so sorry Quinn. I promise that I will not got fired in my next job. I promise." My voice became so shaky and I must prepared myself for a shout, blaming me for being fired again.

"Hmm. Great Brittany, just great." I was shocked that her voice was so calm and not angry unlike before. But I noticed that she told me that it was great.

"Great? But why? I thought you would got angry because I got fired again."

"Look Britt. I need you right now. We have an emergency here and maybe you can help." Quinn told me with a mild sadness or worry maybe.

"Okay, but what's the problem Quinn? Do you need anything? I am just here." I am now starting to get worried too because I can hear at Quinn's background that they are on a hurry and they call her name many times. Maybe they are so so much busy right now.

"Britt....I will go to your apartment now. I need to talk to you."

"Ok Quinn. I'll wait you here. Bye."

And just by that Quinn ended the call and I just need to wait for her to come. I wonder what will she gonna tell me.

I organize my things while waiting for Quinney and I suddenly remember the vintage clock I just bought. I looked and observed every detail of the clock. Then, I noticed the words written on the back of the clock and it says "Just make a wish."

I think there's nothing wrong if I try to make one so I decided to close my eyes and wish.

"I wish to have a job that I would really enjoy." I said to the clock then I open my eyes and nothing magical happen. Maybe the words written on this clock was just for the advertisement so they can sold it to anyone or any person having so many wishes.

Then I stood up and continue to organize my things. After I finished organizing and cleaning my room, a knock on the door reached my ears.

"Quinn?"

"Yes it's me."
