Scarlett's secret ~ (Finding A Home)

chapter 33

Mr. Thomas was very pleased with my solution to this problem. He was very proud that I stood up and took charge of this situation.

He admired me! That I handled the situation very well throughout this month of being here in New York city. Because even though I was 16 years old and illegally emancipated. Having my own small business, which didn't make a big profit to some people might them not to consider the thing I said.

They just didn't grasp the meaning that I did this for fun. It was a good benefit to have some extra cash on the side also.

The people here in this New York City saw me as a 16-year-old, who barely had her feet wet. Being a female had a big part to play in it also. Thank God they didn't know, that I was a shifter because some people there are shifter prejudice.

They thought that I was this really smart genius teenage girl. Who had a big name in society. Once again I was faced with people judging me before they knew me.

I honestly don't know if it was just the stress of dealing with people like this or it was just me. But I was facing reality that maybe, I was biting off more than I could.

During this time I really missed home. I really missed my mates and being here in New York City had really set me back to start closing off.

I didn't like the city at all because I'm not a city person. I wasn't able to shift the whole time that I was here. I had failed off ever since being here.

I ended up being more stressed, and tired. I hardly got to talk to my mates and that didn't help matters at all.

Most nights I would end up falling asleep, while I was on the phone with them. I didn't even get to speak to them some days. I ended up crying myself to sleep, just wanting their presence near me.

When I arrived in Atlanta, Georgia. I found it to be so much better, it wasn't so chaotic and hectic like it was in New York City. The people here are so much more nicer and down to earth.

I like these people here and I have to met the food was really great in the south. That saying about good old southern hospitality, I just loved it so much.

The company was great and the people I worked for through the week was so nice. I wasn't as homesick being there. I actually got to shift a few times during the second week and it felt really good.

But there was something still quite off about me and my health. I don't know what was going on. I didn't say nothing to my mates, because I didn't want to worry them. I figure it was just a bunch of stress over the month that I was in New York City.

When I ended up leaving Georgia I was really sad because I really did like this place. I hope that Seattle, Washington was like the place here in Atlanta, Georgia.

When I got over to Los Angeles it was busy but not as bad as New York City. I don't think that I will ever have a good impression about that City ever again.

The Los Angeles, California workplace was a lot more business attire people they came in and worked and left an went home. It wasn't like Georgia, they were more of a working team and a family environment.

Being there wasn't as stressful but I became homesick again. I had put on some weight to.  I noticed that I had lost a lot of my stomach muscles. I didn't get the shift at all for the 3 weeks that I was in Los Angeles, california.

I was very happy with the person, I was assigned to work with in Los angeles. I come to find out my partner was name  Abby. That she had plans on moving up to Seattle, Washington to work there as her home base.

This is the place she took her 3 months internship at. She started work here after her internship was over and has been here for 2 years. She was younger then most of her working Partners.

She was older than me. She was 20 years old and pretty good at what she did. She just like the putting together different organizations to pitch for the design part element.

But with her being able to do that and me taking on the task of getting every thing finalized design and Abby doing the paper's an working the business side of the transaction to the designing element was great.

We had work great together and made such a good team. We got along really well together also. We becoming friends in the time that we spent together. She was also my chauffeur, while I was there. That gave us even more time to get to know each other more.

I come to find out that she would be moving up to Seattle after the 4 of July. She had a place picked out to move into  on July the 5th. She was going to start work at the Seattle company on the 7th.

I was sad to say goodbye to her, but I knew it wouldn't be for long. I would be able to work with her, when I finish my last year of high school was done. I also told her that she could reach out to me at any time even though I was in high school. I could help her run ideals or pitch solutions to the team.

I was more than happy, when the time finally came and I ended up being at the Seattle, washington company. One thing that I loved about this whole experience, was I got to meet some good people.

I told my guys about Abby and how we have became good friends. About the people in Atlanta making me feel like part of the family. Now I know this is what I want to do after graduation.
