Finally the weekend, where all students relax and enjoy few days away from school. Some may say that weekends are the 'party days' of young teens. Well for some of them this is true, but not for me. I feel like weekends are there for the sole purpose of resting.

So that's what I do on the weekends. I haven't made that much friends, Sarah maybe. I called her cell phone but no answer. She must be busy.
Oh well.

Mom's busy, as usual. So she isn't at home. She works as a lawyer. A very high, respected lawyer . She drives for about twenty minutes till she's at court. That's why everyday she wakes up early. Almost too early.
Some people say that I look exactly like her, but I don't see it. Her hair is much shorter than mine. A few wrinkles but perfect teeth. But she barely even smiles. Becca looks more like my dad. Their light brown eyes and curly hair. Its alm8st like she didnt belong, but shes always there.

Becca and Susie went to the park. So I am alone at home. Alone, as usual.

It's five to ten in the morning. I take a shower then take my sweat pants and black long sleeve with black vans. I take my shoulder hand bag with some money and head out the door and lock it. There's a coffee shop close to our house, so I walk about three blocks. I decide to go eat out since there was no food in the house. The sad life.
I enter and I see an open table, I sit down and wait for the waiter.

"Welcome to Burgers' Bunch, what would you like to order?"

"Can I please have a cappuccino coffee and cheese and tomato toast please."

"Okay. Your order will come in a few minutes." She smiles.

"Thank you." I smile back.

She walks away and I take out my phone. I call Susie and check if they are doing alright. She says they are getting some ice cream. I close my phone as my coffee arrives.
I don't have that much money. I worked at McDonald's but resigned when I guy accused me of stealing his money. Jobless, I tried to look for work every where but no one is hiring. So I'll take my chances here. It's not far from my house and people look very kind and helpful. Will they help me?

"Here you go, ma'am"

"Thanks so much, um... may I ask. Are you hiring a new waiter, because I could help." I ask shyly.

"Well, I guess we do. Our previous waiter quit because she saw her ex with his new girlfriend. She was furius. I'll talk to the manager." She says with a huge smile.

"I'm Miranda and you are?"

"Carrie, Carrie Sitle." I smile.

She attends another customer and relieve, I take I sip of my coffee and wait for her return.

"Well, guess who just got a job at Burgers' Bunch! But first fill out this application to make sure everything is confidential. "

"I will!" I rushed.

I tried my luck and it worked. I guess you just have to take the opportunity and use it. I look at the paper and start filling in. I couldn't control my joy. Within two minutes I finish. I call her and hand her the paper.
Wow, it's easy after all.

"So, come back again tomorrow and I'll tell you when you have to start, what time and more. Oh and here's your sandwich.
"Thanks so much." I don't feel like eating with the news I got. But did anyways.
