"Get out of here, Troublemaker!" the sellers yelled, but I just laughed and gave them the finger.

"Bitch," I heard one of them mutter.

"Your daughter is worse!" I shouted back, laughing as I walked away, ignoring their curses.

Finding jobs these days was a nightmare. I sighed heavily before pulling out my phone and dialing Darcy's number.

"Any jobs?" I asked as soon as she picked up.

"No, not yet," she replied, and I ended the call in frustration. Why was it so hard to find someone to steal from?

Damn, I was starving. I walked aimlessly until I saw a green light, indicating that everyone had to wait before crossing the road.

Thank goodness. I spotted a large crowd and grinned mischievously. I positioned myself among them and noticed a man's wallet sticking out of his back pocket.

I smiled and stood behind him, reaching out to grab the wallet. I quickly glanced around to make sure no one was watching before slipping it into my back pocket.

I managed to nab two more wallets and two phones. It was a jackpot day for me.

If I sold those phones, I could make about 500 dollars. I hurried home, and as soon as I got there, I went to the room I shared with my sister and sat on the bed.

I pulled out the wallets and phones I had stolen. In one of the wallets, I found 200 dollars. Not bad.

The second one had 50 dollars, which was disappointing.

But the last one contained a whopping 500 dollars. That would feed me, my dad, and my sister for a whole week.

I quickly grabbed my phone and called the guy I usually sold the phones to.

"What type of phones?" he asked instantly.

"An iPhone 11 and iPhone 6," I replied.

"400 dollars," he said promptly.

"800 dollars," I countered.

"400," he repeated.

"700," I insisted.

"400," he stood firm.

"600," I tried again.

"400," he persisted.

"500, that's it," I finally agreed.

"Okay, tomorrow, the usual place," he said, making me smile.

So today, I made a total of 1250 dollars. It would cover the house rent and our food expenses, but I still needed to hustle for more. My sister's school fees weren't due until September.

My dad still tried to work and earn for the family, but he often ended up gambling and losing all the money. Sometimes he won, though.

I'm Phoenix, 25 years old. Surprisingly, I am done with college, mostly because my mom hasn't decided to abandon us, despite my dad losing his job that used to feed the family well. I never liked school, so I wouldn't have gone at all.

I suck at introducing myself, so that's all. Oh, wait, I have a sister who is in her last year of high school. As broke as my father and I are, we try hard to pay for my sister's school fees. We want her to complete her schooling because education is important, and she might end up being the one to take care of us one day.
