The sun shining through the curtains warm my face. For a split second I forget where I am. Shit, I was really hoping this was just a dream, but it isn't. I grab my phone and check the time, it's almost 8. I jump out of bed, I remember someone knocking on my door and waking me up. God, I was suppose to get up and help them today. I brush my teeth and throw some clothes on.
I open the door and listen, I don't hear anyone so I'm sure everyone is out working already. I make my way down the hallway.Beau: Well look who decided to join the party this morning.
I jump!
Ella: Shit! You scared me!
Beau: Haha, I'm sorry. I tried waking you up this morning. Are you a heavy sleeper?
Ella: What?
Beau: Do you wake up easy or, are you hard to wake up?
Ella: Oh, I get up pretty easy.
Beau: So, you heard me knock?
Ella: Yes, I heard you. I'm sorry I just couldn't sleep last night.
Beau: It's understandable, new place, new people. But, that also means you have the hard job today.
Ella: What's that?
Beau: You have to feed the cows.
Ella: That don't sound to bad.
Beau: Well, I can tell you now that you will need different shoes.
Ella: What kind?
Beau: Let me just put it this way, if you want those pretty little feet of yours covered in cow shit, be my guest.
Ella: Oh, so like tennis shoes or something?
Beau: I've got a pair of rain boots you can wear. I'll need to take you into town for some clothes and shoes later.
Ella: Ok.
Beau: Well, come on. We have a lot to do.
I follow him downstairs, he hands me a pair of big rubber boots. I guess my face gives the look of disgust.
Beau: What, they don't match your outfit?
Ell: Haha, sorry. I've never worn shoes like this before.
