Just A Writer

S1 C1

After graduating from a University in the Philippines, you decided to go abroad and apply for a job, "hayst.. I need a job to live on my own," said you after sighing heavily, you rely on your parents' money and that's why you want a job on your own to end you and your parents' suffering since they work 24/7 just to pay for your tuition, luckily you got a scholarship. And here you are, in the US trying to apply for a job.

But you don't have a place to go, so you ask yourself, where do I live? where do I go? while you wander around NYC, you suddenly bump into a guy wearing a uniform that looks about.. $100  worth of money?!! you spilled your instant coffee on his expensive uniform, as you gasped in shock, he suddenly speaks up, " what the fudge?! what's your problem old hag?!" looking at you up and down while in disgust.

 You froze, you couldn't speak up, you didn't know what to say and do since you just arrived from the airport, "I-I'm so so so sorry!" you apologized repeatedly, "whatever, it's not like we can do anything about it. just pay for my uniform." he rolled his eyes as he looked away from you.

you gulped before asking, "h-how much is your uniform..?" looking down at the floor in embarrassment, " $150, now pay for it or I'll report you to the police for harassment." he's clearly furious about his 'expensive' uniform that you just ruined, he gazed at you with flaring eyes as you find it difficult to speak up. " Anything but that! I don't have the money right now.." you looked at him with nervousness within you. should I just run? no.. you'll just get yourself in more trouble, how would you escape this furious student? 

" HA! sounds like a you problem, I'm going to report you for ha-" before he could finish his sentence you quickly stopped him by saying, " ok fine! I'm new here and I'm currently trying to find a job" "so can you please give me at least a week?" you held his hand for him to stop. 

He looked at you once again sighing heavily and putting his palm on his forehead, "fine, give me your number." you froze in confusion, "huh?" you said without a doubt while turning your head slightly sideways,

 "are you...asking me out..?" you chuckled to yourself, "wh-what?! are you dumb?" he stuttered, " who are you calling dumb?" you rolled your eyes. "it's for when you're gonna pay me! old hag," he explained, you both gave each other's numbers, " what's your name?" you asked him straightforward, " it's Kaori" extending his hand towards you for a handshake, "you're Japanese?!" you gasped in excitement wondering why he's so fluent at English, "yeah, got a problem with that?" he clicked his tongue, breaking eye contact with you, "that's so cool!" you exclaimed,

"how are you so fluent at English then?" you asked him in amusement, "I grew up in here, my mom's Japanese and my dad's-" again, he didn't get to finish his sentence as a guy in a black suit wearing sunglasses approached him from behind, "come with us," "ugh, fine." he said good bye to you and hopped in the black limousine. 

Well that was random, you didn't even get to introduce yourself properly. 

30 minutes later-

you found yourself in front of an apartment, you get inside and knocked on the second row of the first floor, "you're finally here!" said your aunt with a welcoming tone, she happily greeted you and offered you to come inside, wow... you didn't know that this was what it looked like to live in an apartment at NYC, as you came inside you found a woman laying on the couch, you both made eye contact, "oh hey! you must be y/n" she stood up from the couch and approached you, you smiled and waved awkwardly not knowing who she is.

 "Oh I forgot to introduce you to each other", Erika (your aunt) said breaking the awkwardness, "y/n meet Lilac, my girlfriend," wait since when did my aunt have a gf?! "k-kelan kayo naging mag-jowa?" (when did you guys became a couple?) I told my aunt in Tagalog since I'm Filipino, Lilac looked at us in confusion, she knows a bit of Tagalog, but just the basics.

"nakaraang taon lang, nung November 16, bakit?" (just last year, at November 16, why?) she asked, "wala lang, san ako puwede matulog? (nothing, where can I sleep?) I asked her, she lead the way into a small room, it's a bit cramped but it will do.
