Chapter 2

I woke up early to jog around and to see the sunrise at the beach. There's something about beaches that draw me to them. Maybe its just the beaches itself, i dont know.

The sunrise was beautiful. The way the sky lit up while the sun was rising was art. When the sun has already risen, I put my earphones on and continued jogging along the sidewalk. A few joggers smiled at me, which was so polite of them, and I smiled back. So far, I'm loving LA people.

Before I went home, I stopped by Starbucks to buy my mom and I coffee. Jessica hates coffee so no Starbucks for her. After the store, i went home. I left the coffee on the table, left a note on it, and thought of resting for a while before taking a bath.

I started to ready the bathtub, made sure it was warm and put the bath bomb in it. After those, I rested for 10 minutes, then hopped in. How i love baths. I turned my music on, switched it to Cimorelli, and relaxed.

I love Cimorelli. They're one of my fave girl group/youtubers. I loved their song covers, and now they're making their own music. And they are HELLA AMAZING.

I might have dozed off because when I checked my clock, it was almost 10 in the morning. I rinsed and dried myself up then got dressed.

I head downstairs to find my mom and sister eating breakfast already.

"Hey there sleepyhead. Did you sleep again after jogging?" Jessica said, laughing.

"Yes. In the bathtub though." I said, letting out a chuckle.

I took my sit and ate the food mom prepared for us. We talked about small things, like what we would do today and stuff like that.

"I'm thinking of looking for a summer job." I said.

"That sounds good. At least you'll get to earn money. And experience." My mom said.

"I totally agree." I said happily.

After an hour of talking with my mom and sister, I took a bath and prepared all those things you need in applying for a job. After those, I went on my way.

It was a short walk to the shop so I wasn't really in a hurry. When i reached the curb opposite the shop, i got ready to cross the road.

I was crossing the road carefully when this car came up speeding my way. I thought i was gonna die! Luckily the driver stepped on the car break on time. The car screached then halted.

"WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK MAN. YOU'RE GONNA GET SOMEONE KILLED. ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND?! SLOW DOWN YOU ASSHOLE!" I screamed to the driver while banging on his car hood.

"WELL YOU GOTTA WALK FASTER WHEN CROSSING THE STREET, STUPID!" The driver shouted back. He has a thick Irish accent.

"FUCK YOU!" I said back glaring at him and went on my way. I can't waste my time on that duchebag.

When I reached the shop, my heart was still beating fast. Not only because of that stupid guy, but also because I was nervous as hell. I really want this job sooo bad.

I entered the boss' office and presented my resumé. The guy, who I assume the is the boss, looked at me. He looked 24 or 25. He looks sooo young.

"Ms. Selina Henderson, welcome to the team. By the way, I'm Maxwell Evans. Owner of PhotoUp. I hope you'll enjoy it here."

"I sure will!" I said, staring at him. Thinking about how is he my boss when he almost has the same age as mine, well I'm younger but you know what I mean.

He must've noticed I was staring at him, and as if reading my mind, he said "Can't a 26 year old guy start his own business at a young age?" He said with a chuckle.

He's very atteactive too. If I didnt work for him, I'd hit him up. He's hot. Legit hot. I can't take my eyes of him.

"No, no. I was just shocked." I said with a laugh.

"Come on, I'll introduce you to your partner." He said, standing up and walking me towards the door. I tensed when he put his hand on my back but continued walking towards the girl working on some photos in the computer.

"Stephanie, this is Selina. Selina, meet your partner, Stephanie." He said.

"Hello Selina, nice meeting you. And please call me Steph. Stephanie is too long." She said smiling. She's gorgeous. I wanna look like her. She's got this pretty smile and when she does her eyes light up. Can i be pretty like her? sigh

"It's a pleasure meeting you too Steph." I said, shaking her hand.

After that, we just started conversing. I told her about how my dad died and thats how we ended up here and LA, well basically my whole life story.

After I did, the bell on the door rang signaling us that we have a costumer. I took a peek to see who they were and I saw a lovely family of 5.

We prepared them inside the booth then started taking pictures. After those, they chose what pics they wanted to get printed. They told us they'll be back for those later.

The day just went on and we had more costumers.

After the last costumer and all the pictures had been printed out and taken, we closed the shop. Max went ahead since he said he had to pick up his girlfriend in Law school so Steph and I were incharge of locking up.

When we finished locking up, Steph and I bid our goodbyes and went on our way. Steph hopped on a taxi while I walk my way home. It wasnt a very long walk so i really didn't mind. Besides, i love the night time air.

When I got home, my mom and sister was watching Cold Case. They know how much I love Cold Case so they told me to finish this episode then eat dinner.

After dinner, Mom said she'll wash the dishes and we go prepare for bed. Jessica and I did so and got ready.

When I was done preparing, I turned my laptop on to check on my accounts. I checked if i had any notifications on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Tumblr. So far nothing important. So I tucked myself in and went to bed.

This has been a long day.
