I've been in Virginia for almost a month and I'm starting to like it here better than North Carolina. The neighbors have started to come out more often and talk to me, but only to come and ask me personal questions, and when I don't respond in the way that they want me to, they just stop talking and walk away. I don't mind still because I'm a very private person regardless. My new job as a medical receptionist at the hospital also has been going pretty smooth, except for when I seen a guy with a gunshot wound to the chest die before he could even see a doctor.
That image traumatized me for about a week. I told my parents about the situation at the hospital and my dad said he would come visit me sometime this weekend just to check up on me and to show him how my apartment looks now. My mom on the other hand, criticized me for not having a "better job" and told me that I could've made more money if I went to college and got an actual college degree instead of getting a GED. I would've went to college if I wasn't going through depression.
"Thank you, Mrs. Smith", I said reading off the lady's paperwork. "The doctor should be with you shortly." "Thank you, Ms. (l/n)", the woman says. "You're welcome." "You must be new around here?", she says. I laughed. "What makes you say that?" "Because you're so nice and full of energy, even in the early morning. You can't even get a "good morning" from most of these receptionist", the lady says. "Well, I try my best to be positive to everyone, no matter what is going on around me." "You know what, I like you. We need more young people like you in this world", the lady says before going back to her seat.
I smiled at her compliment while looking down at my phone to look at the time. It's 2:00, finally. I got my bag from locker and headed outside to my car so I could go home, shower and take a nap. Once I got inside my car, I got a text from Juvenal.

I can get used to this every day without it being a sexual thing. That's one of the things that I love about Juvenal.
