Chapter 1: The interview

Becca's pov
Alarm rings(8:38am)
I groan,annoyed by the alarm clock noise so I lazily stretch my arm to turn it off,leading me to fall down "ouch!My ass."I say in pain then my eyes widen after seeing the time on the alarm clock "fuck,I'm late!"I say in panic,I quickly stand up and run to the bathroom to brush my teeth and take a quick shower.After 5 minutes,I'm out of the shower I go to my wardrobe and start throwing my clothes out,looking for a decent outfit to wear for my interview,I have a very important job interview at one of the fanciest restaurants in New york and I'm over 30 minutes late "where the fuck is it?" I say in panic looking for my black jam suit,I then find it at the very back of all my outfits.So I start getting dressed,I wear a black long sleeved jam suit,silver high heel sandals,I tie my long strawberry blonde dread locks into a neat pony tail,I put on some make up,I then take my phone and leave my room.I quickly go to the kitchen and grab an apple,in the living room my roomate,Savannah was doing some work on her laptop "girl,where are going dressed up like an office worker?" she asks as she raises an eyebrow "I have a damn job interview." I say as I open the door "oh,is that today?" she asks being a bit surprised "yeah and I'm late,bye." I say before slamming the door.I run down the stairs of the apartment building and run as fast as I can to the subway station.

20 minutes later
I'm right in front of the restaurant and it's 9:21am,"I'm so late." I mutter under my throat as I  look at the beautiful outdoor design of the restaurant,I then take a deep breath "you got this Becca."I say in hopes.I get in finding myself in a big reception room,a huge concrete table was at the middle end of the room decorated in black and gold theme,the room was actually decorated in a really fancy way,the theme of the restaurant was black and gold.There were two door ways facing opposite to each other in the room,one door led to the main restaurant section and the other door led to the offices.Anyways,there was a middle aged lady at the reception table so I go up to her,I then clear my throat to get her attention she turns to face me "uhm...excuse me ma'am,I'm here for the job interview."I nervously say "the interviews were an hour ago miss,you're late."the lady says having no doubt in her tone "is there any way that you can give me a chance,I really need this job."I plead "well,you could've arrived early if you needed this job so badly"she sternly says,like what the fuck,i've tried so damn hard to get here as fast as I can and this is is what I get? I am not giving up so easily so I cool myself up from the inside"I know ma'am but I tried really hard to get here fast but the problem is that my home is so far from here."I lie "can I atleast see your manager...please."I politely beg "I'm afraid not miss,the manager is very busy right now."she says,now getting annoyed.I then think for about 3 seconds and an idea pops in my head "uhm....what a beautiful flower vase,where'd you buy it?"I say as I touch the flower vase in front of me "miss,you have to leave or else i'll Call security."the lady says with a stern look,I then lean forward on purpose leading the flower vase to crash on the floor right in front of the lady's legs "oh...uh..I'm so sorry my legs are kinda jelly,I just joined a yoga club."I say with a silly smile. "Ah...great heavens"she says as she bends down to take care of the situation,I then run to the offices.I run towards the office labeled above 'MANAGER' I then get in without knocking.I find myself in a really big office room having all sorts of official and fancy decorations,I then see a man seated at his desk across the room doing some paper work,he then looks up to see who dared to enter in his office without permission.He sees me and a confused expression dances on his face "uh...who are you?"He asks,the confused expression still on his face.        "uhm.....I'm here for the job interview."I nervously say receiving a raised eyebrow as a response from him."Look,I know I'm very late but..." Before I can finish my sentence,the door opens and the reception lady shows up.She looks at me and then turns to the manager."I'm so sorry Mr.Mathew I tried to stop her."she says with an apologetic tone and look on her face "ok miss,you need to leave now."says the lady. "Wait,before she drags me out of here Mr.Mathew,can you at least just give me one chance and let me be interviewed,I really need this job your restaurant is my only hope"I sigh and then continue talking when he doesn't say anything "if I won't be good enough for your restaurant,I'll accept it and promise to never bother you again."I confidently say with hope in my heart.Mr.Mathew leans back on his chair and gives out a short sigh

After a little while
"Okay,it is done"says miss Davenport,the assistant manager of the restaurant also my interviewer. "We'll send you the email if you're accepted or not"she says with a sweet smile. "Okay miss Davenport,thank you so much"I happily say "No problem dear,have a nice day"she kindly says,I wish her the same and leave the office.
I get to the reception room and walk towards the door,before opening the door I turn back and see the receptionist reading a magazine. "Hey lady" I call her,she looks at me and I  blow her an air kiss as a sign of victory,she then rolls her eyes.I let out a small chuckle and leave.

After my job interview I was so relieved because I had a big feeling that I would probably be accepted,that restaurant is a huge deal and it was my only chance to get high pay.My previous job was not really good, i was a bar waitress,I had long working hours and little salary was given so I decided to quit and look for another job so I could complete my share of rent that I had to pay the owner of the aparrment and I also had to take care of Diego's(my little brother) needs
Anyways I went straight home to change cause the high heels were killing me.

At home
I arrive at my apartment room and find Diego on the couch playing PS,okay I'm so confused right now."Hey,why aren't you at school?" I ask him as I take off my high heels. "Suspension"he says,his attention towards the video game. "What the....again,Diego this is like the third time this month"I complain "how come the school didn't call me?"I ask him but he doesn't hear cause he's caught up in his fucking games,I go towards him and take the controller away from him "what the fuck man,I was just about to beat him!"he complains "I don't care,why didn't the school call me?"I ask again. "They tried calling you but you were not available so they called me"says Savannah coming from the kitchen. "So what did he do this time?"I ask with my arms crossed below my boobs as I glare at Diego "He was selling spoiled tacos again"says Savannah.I slightly open my mouth,looking at Diego who was now looking at me as if nothing happened "Diego,do you realize that you can kill someone when you sell those things to people?....I thought we were over this,where do you even get those tacos anyway?"I ask in annoyance,my voice now being a bit higher. "I know a guy,you want me to hook you up?"he says with a smirk on his face like I was joking. "No,I'm serious you gotta stop that or you'll even get expelled next time"I warn him,he then frowns. "Well,I was only trying to help"he says in a low voice. "That's not helping,you're only getting yourself into trouble."I say ending the argument,I throw his controller on the couch and go to my room to get changed.

Dad passed away when I was 10,Diego was so little by then and Mom passed away when I turned 18,so it became my responsibility to take care of Diego.I took care of his school situation till he was done with middle school and now I'm helping him with high school,he's a senior now and with puberty getting in the way,he's a real pain in the ass but I still love him.He's always a trouble maker and I'm trying to bare with it.

Anyways few minutes later I come out of my room wearing black sweatpants and a buggy plain gray t-shirt,I go to the kitchen,open the fridge and find a box of pizza from last night,there were 4 slices remaining in the box so I take the box,put the slices of pizza on a plate and heat them in the microwave,after it's done I take the plate out and take a bite of one pizza slice,I moan in enjoyment as I enjoy the taste in my mouth,could you blame me?All I had in the morning was an apple.I go to the living room with my plate of pizza,I find Diego still playing video games and Savannah on another couch,concentrated on her phone."So,how was your interview?"Asks Savannah as she is still on her phone. "It went well"I say as I sit on the couch next to her. "They actually let you do the interview even though you were late?"She asks. "Well...there was some begging"I say and let out a chuckle and she chuckles too.

Okay guys,there it is the first chapter of my story.Well I'm not that much of a writer that's why some of you may find it short but I hope you like it.....TEQUERO
