Chapter 1| How Hard?

"Hurry up Ed!" I yelled as I placed the burnt yet delicious bacon in my mouth; on any normal day, I'd have hit the road, but I overslept today. Somehow I dreaded waking up and leaving for work today.

"I am on my way!" my little sister replied from the room; I couldn't help but roll my eyes; she was a lot to handle. "S!, I can't find my socks!" She announced a few minutes later.

" or you mean you forgot to wash it? " I heaved out a sigh; then I headed to the room where she stood in the middle, dressed in a beige pant and a white top."Um..., " I licked my always dry lips, " I will get you a new pair, let's just go or else we will miss the bus, "

Edna sighed, closed her eyes for a while then opened them, "Sorry Sta, but you are right, I just forgot to wash it, "

"I know, let's go then, " With that said, I picked up my bag, packed up my 'hair', and we both headed out of our two-bedroom house. The only possession of my Father that he didn't sell or gamble with.

As I locked the door, Ed intertwined her hand with mine; I, in turn, gave her a small smile. Just like any normal day in our lives, we walked towards the main roads at a fast pace. As, except the littered road filled with broken glasses and half-naked women waiting for the next man to pass on their diseases, there was also a huge risk of us getting mugged.

And I just couldn't take the risk; after all, there was a 50/50 percent chance of me being jobless a few hours from now. Once we were out of the old alley, we headed to the usual road where we always stayed to wait for an Uber driver.

I dropped Ed by the gate of her school; she was meant to be in first grade. However, she somehow was too smart to be in first grade; so her school decided that she could fit in with the third graders, and her school fee was completely free, I couldn't thank God enough.

Sometimes, I realized how much it would cost and the many night shifts I would work to be able to deal with paying two thousand dollars Of my debt every month, in addition to her school fees. " bye Sta, " She kissed my cheek.

" have fun, " I whispered, waiting till she entered the gates, then I hopped back into the Huber with my chest puffed and my face lit in a huge grin. My next and final stop was my workplace, which was a few drives away from Edna's school; it was way easier this way because I could work and earn money while looking after my baby sister.

"It's right there, " I pointed to the messy back route driveway. I paid my fee and alighted from the taxi, and then I headed inside the restaurant.

Once in the dressing room, I changed into my short leather skirt and white shirt with a powdered face and lipstick so red It could be mistaken for blood. For a while there, I stared at myself in the mirror in contempt as I wondered what I was doing there and who I was doing it all for; II  me, and, I could just quit and forget about good-forsaken ken job where I was counted a hooker and harassed without laws.

However, when I remembered Edna, I concluded it was all worth it, I shook off my thoughts as unpleasant thoughts and memories began to cloud my head." You've got this," I muttered, then I headed over to the counter where Jeremy, as usual, was busy with his work in his black tux.

" Hey Jeremy, how's it going today?" I chirped.

The hot black guy turned me, mee paused, then smirked," damn, you look hot as hell," I rolled my eyes; he had said it to me so many times that it didn't even feel like a compliment anymore.

" I know I am hot Jeremy, but there's no need to keep telling me over and over again. Besides, anyone in a slutty dress like this will look as hot as hell, How about you hand me the usuals for table six and I will be on my way,"
