Millie put on her black heels and fixed her black dress as she walked out her bedroom door. She snatched the black cardigan as she grabbed a to go cup from the cabinet. She poured her banana smoothie into the cup and grabbed her purse practically busting through the door. She was late! The class starts at 9 and it was 8:55. She stayed up later that night since she had to say bye to a Caleb and it fucked her up. She felt like it was worth it though when he texted he was "Here safe! 💙 Have a good first day love." She arrived at the school 8:03 signing in with her teachers ID that was sent in the mail. She entered the study hall which was half filled.

"Hello class! I apologize for my short absence." Millie said as she rushed through the doors putting her jacket behind her chair and her Guess purse on the desk. "My name is Mrs. Williams, I will be your Creative Writing & Literature teacher for this semester. We will be learning the fundamental's and writing stories. Let's get started with the basics." Millie turned on the projector.
At the end of class she piled up the extra papers that weren't needed and a girl came up to her. "Hi! I just want to say hi, my name is Maria and I really wanna be like.. you." Maria said. "Oh hi! Why is that?" Millie was confused. "I mean.. black woman doing her thing. Not many examples of that here. Sorry to get personal I have to go." She quickly ran off.
Millie thought this was strange but shrugged it off a bit. Since she was a new teacher she only works Monday Wednesday and Friday doing one 2 hour and a half class. For a starter she gets &55,000 a year. She walked out the classroom and realized Caleb's game was starting soon so she hurried home. The game had started by the time she got though the door so she changed the channel and got into some comfortable sweatpants. While she was watching the game she had another moment. Was this going to be my new life from now on? Doing my 2 hour work and coming home watching my husband live the dream of his life. Then what? I spend the rest of my day doing nothing. I cant over bear Emma, she's hung out with me everyday last week. She has her own things. Right? She decided to get takeout Chinese food and finish Season 3 of "You" on Netflix.
The next Morning
Millie decided to wake up early and head to the beach. She put on a lavender 1 piece with a cover on top and head downstairs. It was a short walk away since she was in LA and made sure to bring her bag of snacks, laptop, and books.

The sand was hot and the sun glared and a gasp of inspiration came. She saw a white family walking along the beach. You can tell they weren't happy, but we're together for the kids. She opened up a google doc and started flushing out words about a unfaithful marriage and how they were together for the kids. Subconsciously writing about her own parents, because that was their situation. She was there from 10 AM to 2 PM. She finally finished her 5 chapter short story and decided to publish it on a whim. She then got a message from Emma asking if she wanted to get some drinks at the bar with me. Of course I said yes. I rushed home to get into a nice sleek black jeans and top. I drove to the Western Bar by Lavington Road. Emma was sitting at the bar drinking her beer already.
"How you doing girlie?" Emma asked after giving a slight hug. "Good! I wrote a lot today." Millie said. "Oh that good, it sucks I don't care about what it is. Oh i forgot why I invited you here! Im designing the clothes for Lil Nas X billboard award party! This is big." Emma said excited. "Wow! Im so happy for you. How many looks?" Millie asked. "About 3 to 4." Emma said. "Good, hope your getting good pay!" Millie smiled and ordered a Vodka soda on the rocks.
