ZOE
Another day, another hell, just like yesterday I am going to go to work for minimum wage, just to make ends meet.
"Hey Zoe, up for a party later" Chris yelled, Chris works for the shop across my apartment building so I encounter him everyday and if you haven't guess it he's a party animal
"Can't do I have another sideline later and it is going to last until tomorrow morning" I said and sprinted away cause I am nearly late, I am working 3 jobs at the moment an assistant to a baker, waitressing at a resto, and valet driving at 9 but hey we gotta do what we gotta do cause the government is fuck up and only care about themselves. I opened the door to the bakery and suit up to deal with crappy costumers and entitled Karens with a smile on my face cause no one's gonna buy if you're looking miserable. Ding the sound of the door opening and my first costumer is in front of me
"Good Morning what do you want this fine morning?" I said even though my morning started up crappy
"I want 3C5, 2CG, and one Frappuccino but with oat milk" I gave him his order and 2 costumers followed after, I continued the same fake personality until noon where my shift ends and I am off to the resto, I walked to the resto cause A. I cannot afford a car and B. A car in this economy where gas prices are pricier and gold. People struggling to make ends meet, people doing their best to make ends meet and people who have just given up, this are what I can see when I walk the same roads everyday just like what Belle feels in the beginning of the movie. The resto is an old an establishment build in the 90s, I change I into my uniform in the locker room obviously,
"Zoe, take table 14" that is exactly what I received as soon as I arrived at the counter seriously no good afternoon?
"On it" I said and dashed to table 14 which is filled up by a family of 4
"hey what can I get you guys" I said the kids are busy doodling on the paper provided so the parents were free to answer me
"we will get a Pizza peperoni, 2 bottles of coke, a glass of ice tea and then pineapple juice, fried chicken, legs, and 4 blizzards." The mom told me
"Mom French Fries pls" one of the kids said
"and French fries" the mom added
"ok will that be all?" they nodded so I took my leave and gave the order to the cooks. I waited atleast 20 tables for my shift and I am off to the casino. You know a casino is funny because you have to pay to spend money, and if you are not careful than you might lose all of your money, the casino that I worked for is a popular one so the tips that I earned is more than my salary because the rich will throw their money around just to show people that they are rich, as if the Porsche, Lamborghinis, and BMWs does not do the trick. 9pm arrives and the first car is a BMW model IDK, I work until 3am and I usually take a grab when I go home since walking as a woman is pretty scary especially with pig headed men lurking in the corners, and if you report it than you are at fault for walking late. I am on my way to the usual taxi stop that I go too but I found it under construction so I went to go find another one, on my way I saw an alley glowing it's a shade of purple maybe lavender, definitely not periwinkle as I approach, I am becoming dizzy until its all black.
