It's Monday and boy oh boy do I hate fucking Mondays, I normally don't eat food in the mornings as I would just steal food from my job hoping I won't get caught.
I was already up since the night before so it was just to wake Sophia up and to get dressed Sophia goes by a friend of mine, Christy she is a teacher and she teaches Sophia school work for free, she knows my financial struggles and Sophia and her has a great bond so she doesn't mind.
"Sophia wake up , it's already 10 a.m." that was a lie I only said that so she'd get up and dress faster , knowing she'd fall for the lie , she awoken with one swift move and got straight to it , I slightly chuckled , my soft smile soon dropping as I saw what was in our pantry .
'Beans and tuna?' I thought , that were the only things we had left...
"Baby which one do you want beans or tuna?" I questioned with a slight shout in my tone , "Tuna!" She replied, "ok tuna it is" I said to myself lowly.
I quickly made some tuna with rice for Sophia, she ate it , practically in one bite. As Sophia sat on the wheel chair we were headed for the door, I opened the door and there was Sherry awaiting for us, in her obnoxious voice she began
Sherry:;" Y/N Don't forget that the rent is due today" she said whilst playing with Shophia's little fingers,
Y/n: "Shit, I totally forgot, um is there anyway I can get an extension probably by the end of the week?" I begged
Sherry:"For Sophia , yes"
Y/n: "Thank you so much you are literally the best" I said with a fake ass smile , as soon as we turned away from Sherry my smile dropped, I grew too dislike Sherry , she is a snake and I definitely can't trust bitches like her. We arrived at the elevator down the hall, we can't use stairs because of Shophia's wheel chair.
We reached downstairs which is the lobby, I hurriedly left the exit to go to Christy's house, she lives close by. I start shift at 8 a.m. and it's already half past seven, Christy is ten minutes away so that means I have 10 minutes to get to work, "Ah shit, I'm so fucked". 10 minutes go by and we finally reached Christy's house, no words were exchanged because I was running late, hopefully she doesn't take it to heart.
NINE MINUTES LATER
I have exactly one minute to get to work, the rush of adrenaline was crazy, it almost felt fun. I reached 8 on the dot, and my Manager, Jerry, was a pain in my ass, he'd eventually made my life harder because I turned refused to go out with him three times, one wrong move and he'll suddenly make the cafe a '24 hour cafe' which the cafe was not or I'll wash all the dishes , I mean people will have to wash the dishes, when it is in their resume, it's angering me 'cause isn't my fucking job.
Jerry: "You're late"Jerry said breathily, the sent of his breath almost made me gag, it's like he didn't brush his yellow, chipped ,uneven, tobacco stained teeth for a year or two.
Y/n:"Actually sir I am not late, I am right on the dot" I said in a smart tone while barely being able to hide my smirk that is just dying to be shown on my face.
Jerry:"tsk , whatever, get to work!"
Y/n:" Ay ay cap-tin" I said having one of those military stance, he spoke to be as though he has control over me which is literally the worst. Lord I hate men like Jerry. I head over to the open and close sign by the entrance , and flipped the card from stating close to open. Before I go behind the front desk with the cash register I go to grab my stuff that I left on one of the seating tables. As soon as I grabbed my things I head to the back, put on my work uniform, then head right for the desk.
"So the Cycle begins" I said softly before our first costumer entered
I put on a fake smile and began" Hi what can I get for you today?" I said ,as happy as possible.
