Henrietta's P.O.V
I whiz past a line of trucks on the street with a huge grin on my face.
"Woooo!!" London cheers as she speeds past me, and I laugh and gain speed.
We switched Bikes on our way back from School.
We ride over to the front lawn of my house and stop, only to look at each other and grin.
"My house, next!" London yells excitedly, and we both laugh as we ride back the direction we had come.
We had decided to ride to my house then hers, with me on her Bike, and her on mine.
When we reach her house, we're going to switch back, and I'll leave her there and go to work.
"We should definitely do this again some other time" She laughs as we step down from the Motorbikes
"Yes. We should" I agree as I pick up my Helmet.
"So, I'll see you tomorrow?"
"As long as you still own that Bike" I laugh as she smiles and then turns away and gets on her Bike. She rides towards the Big black gate infront of us.
I make out the peak of a black roof behind the gate before I turn away and ride off.
She definitely comes from money.
I get to work just on time. I watch one of my Co-workers; Cassy, pull out boxes from the rack behind her.
Those are, no doubt, the deliveries I'm going to make now.
"Hey" I greet, and start packing the four boxes into my arms
"You're not sick anymore" Cassy smiles and I just nod and walk back outside.
I head to my Bike and ride off to the first Address.
When I'm done with all the deliveries, it's already Night. I walk into the now less busy Restaurant and grab cleaning equipments from the Storage room.
I quickly get to work; cleaning the vacant tables, mopping the floor. All the boring shit.
"Ramona. I'm done" I call out to the girl who works the Night shift at the Counter, once I'm done. She's the eyes of the Restaurant at Night time.
So, we all have to report to her when we're ready to go.
"Cool. Just drop the equipments back in the room" She smiles warmly, and I nod.
I put all the cleaning equipments back in the Storage room, and rush out of it.
Once, Dad had sent me to get something from the Storage at home, and the door closed behind me. Jammed. Trapping me in.
Let's just say, now all the doors in our house open with gusto.

"Mum? Dad?" I walk in and head straight to the Kitchen after seeing my Dad's car outside.
"Hen!!" My Dad calls out from behind the Kitchen counter, and my eyes widen
"Doctor Dad!" I grin and he lets out a hearty chuckle.
I walk over to him and kiss his cheek before taking a few steps back.
"I've missed you, little one" Dad smiles
"Me? Little? Very demeaning, Doctor" I tease with a wide smile
"No way. You'll always be our little girl" I hear my Mum say, and I turn around quickly, a wide grin overtaking my face.
"Look who have here" I take a dramatic pause "It's the Sexy Nurse!!!" I yell, putting my two hands around my mouth as a megaphone, causing Mum and Dad to laugh.
Mum raises her hand to do a Queen-like wave at the imaginary Audience.
"Thank you. It's an Honour, really" She tells them and I laugh loudly before going over to kiss her cheek.
