Thank you for giving this book a chance.
I hope you like it."No it hurts, go gentle," I looking back at the most ungentle person ever, I have a job interview in a few hours and I thought Kendall helping with my hair was a good idea. Yeah, I was wrong. She's trying to put my hair into a slick bun, but the girl's barely wetting it enough to make that happen.
"I'm trying, okay? I can't relate to you. I got the straightest hair in this house. Let me get Hala real quick," Kendall pats my head like I am a puppy before bouncing out the door. There's a potential chance I'll be late for my interview but my hair is more important, it's gotta look good. I drop my head onto the table and feel myself drift back to sleep.
"JJ?" I hear someone whisper, a soft hand gently rubbing my back,
I was having such a good dream,
"I'm sorry love, but you've gotta get ready," Hala's voice is smooth and sweet, and the way she massages my shoulders has me wanting to melt. I shrug but nod like the half-asleep zombie I was.
"I already picked out your outfit," she continues running water through my hair before quickly brushing it into the neatest bun, slipping a cute little silver clip in. I'm saved.
My name is Jordan but most people call me JJ, I live with my two best friends, Kendall and Hala.
Kendall is the sassiest person you'll ever meet, bold and always winning in life, she's also the very strong, bold and no-nonsense type of girl who internally cares for people but chooses to showcase it interestingly. She works as a lawyer for a big law firm, and she's known for winning lots of her cases. She's basically Harvey Specter just Asian and cuter.
She's 176 cm (5'8) with a curvy body. Her parents are Korean and Danish but she was born in America, LA.Hala is a strict yet patient, nurturing woman with a mother aura. She's the oldest among us. She's a neurosurgeon at one of the biggest hospitals in America. I always think about how I managed to get such friends. Hala is 168 cm (5'6) with a curvy frame too, she was born in America, Fisher Island (Florida) but her parents are Palestinian and Italian.
As you can tell, theyre baddies and I like to flex them. I have another best friend, she's closer to me than anyone else, she knows every detail about me more than anyone but she doesn't live near me. She lives 1,753 miles away in Chicago with her husband and daughter, she's adorable.
I'm the youngest and compared to both of them the poorest so they don't let me contribute money for rent, I feel bad so I always buy groceries and house necessities before they can. They never tell me how much the rent is or how they pay it.
I used to work in a manufacturing company, and it paid well but my boss was like old-day Freddy Fazbear just alive. He got me fired because I refused to participate in certain activities with him. He humiliated me in front of everyone and called me disrespectful words. I wasn't mad or anything but I feel bad for his wife and children. Apparently, he hits her as well which I'm not surprised by. He seems like the type to do so.
