Listen to this song as you read. Yay

Jiao long's POV
My name is Jiao Long. I am from California, and my life is pretty boring. Until...

11:30am, home
woke up in my bed, change, and got ready for my job. "Where's my keys?" I looked for my keys at the front door, and looked everywhere.

1:00pm, home
When I started looking, it was about 12 pm. Now it's 1 pm. "Fuck! I'm an hour late." Damn. I'm gonna get fired again. Now where's that stupid keys?
"Finally! I found it!" it was under my dresser. Why is it even there?.. I drove up to McDonald's for my job and walked in with a lot of customers.

1:30pm, work
"there you are Jiao!! Where were you?" My hot manager, Sheldon asked me.

"I couldn't find my keys. Again. This time it was under my dresser. It's crazy how this keys goes everywhere!!" I said, trying to break the subject. I don't wanna get fired. This is the 10th time I've been fired from here. I can't let it go to 11!!

"Jiao, this is the 8th time you've been late because of the same reason. I'm sorry for this, but you are fired. But, today we are loaded with customers, so you can work until 8pm."

8pm?!!! I have a date at 8:20! I can't get back home until 8:30!...

"-so... you can work now. I'll give you a paycheck later."

"Yes sir...."
could this day get any worse?!

8:00, work

Ding!!!
.....
.....
DING!!!
DING!!!

"Jiao!! Can you shut your phone up?!! It's annoying!!" Says my co-worker.

"Okay okay."
As I said it, I walked to the counter in the kitchen and opened my phone.
Huh?... from my date?? Serna? Why is she texting me.?
I scrolled down to the bottom, and saw,

"Hey Jiao... so I got a busy day today. So is it okay if we move to 10? I have to babysit my little cousin. as you know him, he's pretty hard to babysit. So.... is that ok??"

what should I reply as? uhhh..
Tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap.

sent.

"Haha! Yeah ofc! can't wait to see you at 10."
This text is so cringe. I hope she doesn't leave me on read.

As I got home and locked the doors, I looked in my bag for the money.

That's a lot.
Nvm. He didn't pay me last month.
