The Childhood Memory

Chapter Two: My best friend? Sabrina

   I saw a beautiful girl on a mirror, maybe a woman, a woman working so hard for her mother who wants a vacation in London so badly. This girl is so wonderful and elegant, you know why? Because her eyes are shaded brown, her hair black as night and her lips red as blood. Her tresses are curled, making it more beautiful to look at.

“Isn’t she beautiful?” my mother ask with a smile I was wrong. The beautiful girl I saw in the mirror was me yes it’s me! It’s Chloe Louise Huntley the hardworking girl or maybe a woman, who was always called stupid by her boss and her workmates.

“She is beautiful mother” I answered

“She really is, like mother like daughter keep that in your mind, so I think it’s time for you to go to work” Mother told me while she was looking at her watch wrist

“Yes, yes! I need to go now it’s ten-thirty!” I ran as fast as I could and leaved my mother alone on my room. I grab my satchel bag and walked downstairs seeing those plane tickets again at the coffee table. But I didn’t mind about it this time. My focus was to not to be late for work I open our house door. And the beautiful city of New York reflect on my eyes seeing all those colourful cars moving, those cabs waiting for their passengers. And all those people in a hurry I know some call this stressful but I’ll admit this things are like scenery in my eyes. Hearing all these things are like music to my ears. And suddenly I remembered that I was in a hurry too. I stopped first my day dreaming and raise my hands as a sign waiting for taxis. And luckily I got one cabs attention and it stopped. I walk forward to this yellow cab and open its side doors. And when I sat down relaxed at the taxi couch. The driver ask me “Where’s our destination?” “Daily News Publications, mister” I answer with a nice tone of voice. As the driver was driving I can see people doing their daily routines, like baker’s baking, painter’s drawing and etc. And suddenly the driver said

 “We are now here”

 “Here it is” I answer with a smile, while holding forward an amount of money

“It’s free”

“What?” I blurted out in a shock

Then the taxi leave in an instance. I was shocked a taxi ride, free? That’s impossible! Money is really hard to get  nowadays. And suddenly someone speak behind my back “Lucky today?” I turned around seeing a pretty girl with a blonde long wavy hair, with eyes green as forest and skin white as snow. It was Sabrina my long time best friend, we were friends for ten years I met her when I was in freshman high school. And we became really close at that time until we graduated college. We have the same course and now same job and same company.

“Couldn’t you just believe it I had a taxi ride for free” I tell her

“Maybe the driver likes you!” Sabrina answer with a hilarious laugh

“No way!” I answer in a defensive way

“Just kidding, by the way I’ve been here for like two hours waiting for you my eyes are getting white now!"

“I am so sorry Sabrina Wilson, come on here you little girl!”

“I hate you” then Sabrina walk with me, when the company doors open Sabrina walk in a fierce and sexy way with her long beautiful blonde hair bouncing all the people especially boys who pass through us had their eyes locked on Sabrina. I'll admit, Sabrina is prettier than me and have more self-confidence with herself but many people told me especially my "not so mean" workmates that I am prettier than Sabrina even way back in high school many people use to tell me that I was the prettiest girl in Campus, they told me that I just need to fix myself more and improve my self-confidence. I hate it when people tell me what to do especially with my body and my face, I mean it's my body, my own body and my own face! I can do anything with it and in everything I do with it, it's is none of their business.

"Good Morning Ms. Huntley, Good Morning Ms. Wilson" the office secretary greets with a happy smile. Her name is Lucy Carter she's twenty-three and like us she's a hardworking woman too. Her hair is short and brown with her eyes as gray as the moon.

"Would you like some coffee?" Lucy ask with a nice tone of voice

"I want coffee with a little milk A-S-A-P" Sabrina tell Lucy with a little disgust

"Yes Ma'am"

"Oh yeah, and make sure to wash your hands first before making my coffee, I don't want to be infected by your deadly virus" Sabrina tell her with a laugh until all of our work-mates laugh too. Lucy walk out with her eyes about to wet, I feel so sorry for Lucy she's trying so hard for us to like her but still my work mates don't get it. Every time Lucy act nice they use to whisper each other "Plastic" or "Weird". I don't know if I'll be guilty for choosing Sabrina as a friend because sometimes she is really mean especially to people like Lucy who she use to define as "low class people" but every time I try to talk to her about it she always try to make excuses. When Sabrina make excuses it automatically means that she don't want to talk about it. So I just let her change the topic even though it's wrong. But why am I letting her do that? Is it because that she's my friend and I understand her or maybe because I am just afraid of her?
