Looking at the the dripping metal wall of my storage unit or what's left of it that hadn't rusted, I laid on my spring mattress on the ground. Hearing Jonathan in the house, (yeah that's right house I live in the back yard in a tin can) throwing glass beer bottles around then he fell into my box and yelled "where have you been girl ( throws a bottle to the ground) I need you to get me some more beer". He walked to stand in the room. "What's thisss" he throws it over. "It's a shelf I found it behind the furniture store by the liquor store, it's broken but it works a little, it also makes it feel more like a home to" I sat up and said softly. " we'll don't like it get rid of and get me more beer." " but I have no money." I stood up and said "we'll be a normal kid and steel, make a living."

I left but not to go to the liquor store. I went to "make a living, make some money". I new the place well but still found some cool places like the toy store, and the butcher shop, and oh the bakery. That was what I wanted and I really never seen one before so I walked in. I saw not many people and sales signs every where. I say their looking at all the creamed covered clustered. I then saw a $1 sticking out of under the counter I picked it up and unfolded it and out of it came a $5 bill and that made my day because then I could by 5 or more treats so I looked and took a thing called a cupcake and a snicker doodle and a 2 sugar cookie and still had 56 cents left. I ate them and I just loved them. I even walked up to the counter and said " how do you make these, I have never tasted anything like it." And the lady said "we'll get as much as you want because we are closing soon like closing no more business." And I replied "well can you show me how to make them." And the lady looked at me and said "look kid I ain't got no time for funny business, I'm on break." And I said "please" and looked at her. She rolled her eyes and syed "ugh, I guess so but if you bake here you work here is that okay with you!" "Yes" I said back "yes what I'm wasting my time for you now say it right". And I screamed "yes m'am".

We walked into the kitchen and she asked "so GIRL what's your name" and I replied "Tori" " annnnddd what's your last name" and I looked into the ground and said " I don't no I'm an orphan well not really I don't live in a orphanage I live with my uncle but he's insane and I don't feel like family so I call him Jonathan and not uncle in fact I don't even act like -" "okay okay girl I get it you have a ruff life I don't need it all okay now what do you want to make". "OH I want to make the ...... Uuhhh.... I don't no the name but there in the case over there they where my other choice to get. They are cookies with chocolate in them what are that called?" I looked at her and she was really confused " ummmm.... Chocolate chip cookies?" " I guess I don't no the name." She just stood there and was like what and then she moved to get the things we needed. She told me to turn the oven to 350 and so I went to the box with buttons she pointed to and started to press them randomly. Then she came over to me and said "do you no how do anything" I looked at her and felt very embarrassed." Yes but I have never done any of this before I live in a metal box and don't get out much but I do to get beer for Jonathan, I'm sorry I should just leave." I started to leave then she said " no it's okay to be honest I have no idea what I'm doing either, it was Helen who made those out there." I looked up at her then she continued "if you want to we can figure it out tomorrow when Helen's here around 9 30 if you want to because its not like we are busy around here."
