"Wake up you hairless pig!"

"OW, WHAT THE FUCK?!?"

She woke up to her roommate scrambling around the room, putting on her cargo pants, and brushing her teeth at the same time. 'Classic Jennie' she thought to herself.

"Late again Miss Kim?" she asked her snarkily. The brunette pretended to not hear that and continued to stuff everything she saw on her desk into her bag. To Lisa's disappointment, the girl even threw 'The color purple' into her bag. She was planning on finally finishing the novel today, but whatever. 

After what seemed like twenty minutes, Jennie was now checking herself out in the big mirror, causing Lisa to mentally scoff. No matter how late she was, her roommate always took her time doing this. 

And this was not her everyday routine since they had become roomies two years ago. This had started pretty recently. And if she thought hard enough, it was right around that time she had apparently 'bumped into' the bitchiest girl on their campus. Lisa wasn't sure if Jennie was trying to one-up the queen bee by dressing like that and slathering her face with all sorts of makeup to make her eyes pop, or what. But on the bright side, it gave Lisa a lot of alone time away from the brunette's constant (and lame) dad jokes and occasional tantrums. She was preoccupied. 

"So Lisa, I've already made the breakfast and watered the plants. All you have to do today is to dust the windows and feed the goldfish okay?" 

"Yes mum"

<3?!

She threw herself on the bean bag after 'cleaning' the window (it was really just her swishing the feather duster on the glass for the last ten minutes). 

She was just getting ready to reward herself with a cream bagel when her phone started ringing loudly. She pulled out her worn-out phone and one look at her screen was enough to get her groaning out of frustration. 

"Hello?"

"You are coming tomorrow... right?" Nayeon asked her timidly.

Lisa rolled her eyes and replied, "Oh is the whole store in ruins because I'm not there? Weren't you the one who said that I was unfit for the job because I never used the air machine before? Weren't you the one telling me to be more 'focused' and 'practice more'?"

"Yes, and my point still stands." 

Im-Nayeon was back to her usual cocky self.

"The reason I asked is because that new employee is really ruining our chances of making even a dollar a day. He's like a customer repellent! Really..." She continued sounding worried. "At this rate, the store might just close in a few weeks. And then I'll have to get back to dog-walking..."

Lisa suddenly felt sympathy flowing out for her coworker, "Oh my god, DOG-WALKING? That should seriously be illegal. Those things are so stupid and smelly and they keep licking people. It's really not cute in my opinion. Thanks for us, our cats aren't like that at all. So tame and cute."

On the other side of the call, Nayeon gave a fake smile while glancing at the group of cats belonging to the store which were currently causing a ruckus by jumping onto the newly delivered boxes of face sponges. 

"Also, that blonde girl who's rolling in money, was here to get her hair done again. But she left cause you weren't there... or maybe it was because of that 50-year-old that's working here now."

Lisa pouted her lips in confusion and replied stupidly, "She's been coming here for quite some time, hasn't she? But why though?.. I mean we're really not the most well-equipped or have the best interior design or anything... Not to mention I'm never able to get her hair completely dry after the whole ordeal. I'm not good with that air machine you know?"

"FOR THE LAST TIME IT'S CALLED A BLOW-DRYER!"

Ignoring the remark, she continued "Anyway, call her and tell her that I'll be there tomorrow..."
