She just woken up from her sleep and sat up on her bed staring at the wall for a good 5 minutes deciding whether to stand up or to go back to sleep

She checks the time on her phone

"8:34..—" She paused and yawned "-AM..."

She decided to stand up, she saw her refection on the mirror  wearing a plain, loose light blue color  matching pajama set

She goes to the kitchen and decided to cook herself a delicious meal

She opened and scanned the fridge

She hums and grabs some meat and vegetable placing them on the counter

"Huh, i guess curry doesn't sound bad"

She begins to take out a pot but suddenly stops, she realizes she don't know how to cook curry

yet

"dammit..." she looks disappointed

clearing the kitchen counter returning all the food she took back to their original places clearing the table

instead of curry, she cooked an omelette and fried rice, using the left over rice from yesterday's dinner

She changed cloths and went outside wearing a white dress reaching over her knee, a thick black belt on her waist and puffy long sleeves

she goes to the nearby library near her apartment

"Um, hello...," waving her hand catching the librarians attention

"Hi, i was wondering if i can apply for a  part time job here?  I saw the sign infront of the window" she innocently smiled

she was confused at first, wondering why would a child want to get a part time job

Rose then pointed her finger towards the wanted sign near the window

The librarian was an old lady probably is her mid 50's

"Why would a child like you want to work at the library?" The old lady finally asked, her voice was not aggressive nor was it cold but was soft and comforting

"Oh... um... I just want to apply for a simple job to earn money, thats all..." rubbing the back of her neck

The old lady stands up from her seat and signalling her to follow her which she did. 

They both went inside a door leading to a small private area which seems to be like a small office

"Tell me young child, what is your name?"

She quickly turns her head to the old lady and pauses for a second

"You can call me Rose" She respectively bows Infront of the old lady who is sitting across the table

"Rose? what a cute name"

They both smiled at each other, then the old lady asked

"Where are your parents, Rose?

"Oh... my parents left me" a sad voice replied

"But thats alright, as long as i have a job i can take care of myself"

A concerned look was all over the old lady.  The old lady felt pity towards her and a couple second Rose was seen leaving the library with a satisfied face

Turns out, the old lady decided to give the job to her out of pity for her situation

'Finally, i have secured a different income other then the Port Mafia.  I can't keep relying on the Port Mafia given that i won't stay with them forever'
