***Becca's pov*** I wake up to the sound of Savannah's ringtone,I felt so tired and I had a headache.I groan as I touch the back of my head "Turn that thing off."Says Shawn,waking up from the dinning table,Savannah takes her phone and swipes left to ignore the phone call.I then realize that I'm at Shawn's house "At what time did the party end."I ask as I stretch my arms "At about...4 in the morning."Says Savannah as she scratches her head "oh man...my head feels heavy."Says Shawn as he touches the back of his head "Tell me about it."Savannah says,I then start looking for my phone,not knowing where I left it last night I find it on the floor under a pizza box.I turn it on and my eyes widen after seeing the notification on the lock screen "Holy shit." I say as I sit up straight on the couch "What is it."Savannah asks but I stay silent holding my phone against my chest. "C'mon...say something." Says Shawn as he comes to the living room and sits on the couch next to me.I sigh "The restaurant has sent me the email."I say with a worried expression "and I'm afraid to open it."I add "Why?"Shawn asks "What do you think Shawn,she's nervous."Savannah points out the obvious "Here,let me read it for you."She adds as she signals me with her hand to give her my phone so I give it to her and hope for the best.After a few seconds of swiping and tapping on my phone,she looks at me with a frown "Uh...Becca."I then conclude in my mind that I didn't get the job."You got the job!!"Says Savannah,happily out loud. "Oh my God are you serious?"I excitedly ask her, "Yeah,look"She says as she shows me the message and Shawn and I take a look. "Wow,congrats Becca."Says Shawn as he gives me a little punch on my shoulder "Thanks....I can't believe this...working at Opulent Oasis,so..."I stuck,searching for the right word to say "Fancy."Says Savannah "Yap...fancy."I comment "You know...you're very lucky,a restaurant like that is very hard to get hired."Says Shawn "it's a very high class restaurant and it has chains in 36 other countries in the world."He adds.I then get dumbstruck "Wait...what."I say in surprise "Wait....you don't know about this?" Savannah asks "Opulent Oasis is one of the fanciest restaurant in the world,owned by Italians."She adds when I say nothing "The Manroe family,it's a very rich family and their son,Zayn Manroe is the heir to all the businesses that his family has."Says Shawn.I just sit there listening to them as I'm surprised by every news I'm given. "Yeah,Zayn Manroe...I hear he's very cruel and takes his business seriously.Says Savannah "are you guys serious right now?"I ask in disbelief "Honey,we're damn serious and if you wanna end up safe just make sure you do your work very well."Says Savannah as a piece of advice. "But don't worry...you got this".Says Shawn as he pats me on the back to comfort me, "Thanks Shawn."I say with a small smile.Anyways Savannah and I help Shawn clean,after that we leave
***Home*** It was actually 10am,so Savannah and I arrive at our apartment and meet a surprise.We find Diego asleep on the couch,Tony is on the coffee table and Chris,on the floor beside the other couch,the living room was messier than before and there were two girls asleep on the floor next to the door and one girl asleep on top of the kitchen counter.Okay I'm so angry right now,I see a paper bag on the floor next to the coffee table so I take it and fill it with air using my breath,then I burst it up and everyone who is asleep in the room wakes up,shocked by the sound that they just heard. "Girls...leave,now"I angrily say,the girls take their stuff and immediately leave seeing that I'm in a bad mood.After the girls leave I lock the door."Look...I can't do this...girl you know how to handle this."Says Savannah then she goes to her room "Now...you guys better clean up or else."I threaten them,they start laughing "or else what?"Diego asks when he's done laughing.I then take my phone and go to my gallery "I'll show this video to your school."I say with a smirk as I show them a video of the three of them crying while watching 'five feet apart' "Maybe it would be nice if the whole school would know that you guys are actually cry babies."I say then I give out a small chuckle "Where did you get that video?"Asks Chris,now worried and ashamed "I have my ways."I calmly say now that my anger has gone away,"So either you clean this up and be done in a few minutes or be the laughing stock of the whole school for the rest of your senior year.....your choice boys."I say with a smirk "Where are the cleaning supplies?"Tony asks with a frown on his face making me chuckle "They're in the storage room."I tell him then they all go to the storage room to take the cleaning supples.That was easy,anyways I go to my room and directly fall asleep cause I wasn't sober enough.
***Next day*** I wake up at 8am,I take a long,relaxing shower,I then dry myself up and get dressed,I put on khaki cargo pants,a white short sleeved t-shirt and tucked it in,I then put on simple light brown sandals,I tie my dreadlocks into a messy ponytail,I apply light makeup and look at myself in the mirror and smile.I then leave my room,I go to the kitchen and take a bowl and put some cereals in it and poor milk into the bowl of cereals.As I am eating my cereals at the table,Diego comes in the kitchen,takes a glass of water in the cupboard and poors himself some tap water in the glass "going somewhere?"Diego asks as he takes a sip of his water,leaning on the kitchen counter "Yap...I'm going to work."I answer him then I take a spoon full of cereals into my mouth "Where are you working now?"He asks,I swallow the cereals in my mouth "Opulent Oasis"I say he then choked on his water a bit "What....Opulent Oasis?"He says in disbelief "is this some kind of joke?"He adds when I don't say anything. "No...I'm serious,I just got hired there and I'm starting today."I state it to him he nods as a sign that he's got the message "Hope you get fired."He says as he rinses his glass of water, "thanks for the prayers."I sarcastically say knowing that he's kidding.I finish my cereals and go to the kitchen,I wash the bowl and put it on the utensil rack."Ok,I gotta go...bye."I tell Diego and he waves at me while he's concentrated on his phone,I roll my eyes and leave.20 minutes later I arrive at the restaurant,I then report to miss Davenport,assistant manager and I get my uniform, a black lady suit pair of pants and a white long sleeved shirt with the restaurant's logo on the shirt's pocket

The chief of the staff,Mr.Reynolds shows me to my locker in the ladys' staff changing room,he gives me some instructions then he leaves me to change and I get to work.I do my very best to work hard and attend every customer with care and luckily my shift ends well at 4pm,I go and change into my casual outfit and leave.I buy myself some coffee at a nearby cafe and go home.When I get home I directly throw myself on the couch "You look beat."Says Savannah as she sat on the other couch "So...how was your first day?"She asks me "Exhausting."I say "First days are always hard,don't worry you'll get used to it."She says,giving me hope "I hope so."I say
