This story explores the lives of two very different young adults, Gabriela Reyes (22) a girl who has been hustling since she entered this world, and Mateo Mariano (22) a boy who has had a rich background and legacy since he entered this world. Will...
The next morning I wake up tired and in pain from sleeping on a lumpy mattress, but I'm also excited for the day ahead. Last night I scheduled my job interview at Mariano's bar & Grill as a waitress, I haven't told my mom yet about the interview I wanted to wait until after I got it.
I quickly hurried upstairs to make breakfast for me and my brother, he was already sitting at the table, waiting for me, he woke up super early. It's kind of annoying.
"Morning" I say with a big smile and he just smiles back at me I'm not sure if you can understand what I'm saying or not but I just love seeing his smile.
After I eat and clean the dishes, I head to the bathroom and take a long shower to think about what I'm gonna say in my interview , the last time I had a job I was 17 and I'm 22 now so it's been a while, once I get out the shower, I throw on a light wash pair of jeans and a black crop top. I couldn't find anything more professional to wear. I hope this is OK. And then put on my black & white converse and head out the door.

(The outfit )
My job interview is at 5:00 and it's currently 11 so I thought I would just take this time to tour the city and find some special needs facilities for young kids, for my brother, I want him to be in the best care and taught the best education possible, so finding a place for him is not gonna be easy.
As I walk down these narrow streets and pass yet another homeless man holding a rat, I come across that building that I saw yesterday, the one with the big letter M on it, and I couldn't help but be somewhat drawn to it as if it was calling my name. As I look up at what seems to be the tallest building I've ever seen, clearly not watching where I'm going, I accidentally bump into a very tall figure, his eyes are darker than charcoal and he smelled like he hadn't showered in days, I was a little intimidated by him.
He was on the phone, speaking a language I didn't understand I think it was Italian, and he was not paying attention to where he was going because after we bumped into each other, he acted as if I wasn't even there, Like I said, before, everyone is in a rush here what, it's like time never stops
(His pov )
I wake up to a knock on my door. I hate when people knock on my door. "What" I groan as I stretch my arms. I get frustrated when I hear no response I then annoyingly walk to the door and to see who it is.
It's just a maid here to bring my breakfast. "Mi dispiace per aver bussato signore, ma quando ti ho chiamato non hai risposto" (Translation: I'm sorry for knocking sir, but when I called you didn't answer ) she says with her head facing the ground . "it's fine, Thank you" I say shooting her a reassuring smile, she then walks away to go do whatever It is she does, I then eat my eggs and toast breakfast while looking out on the city and how pretty it can be.
