Blowing leaves, chirping birds and loud car horns. That's what you'll mostly hear in the busy city of Manila.

Vendors shouting there products. Pedestrians running to reach there early hour of work. Tons of cars passing here and there, blowing smoke tarts that adds in the country's pollution.

In the city of manila, there lived a very hard working girl that was challenge by the problems of life but still keep a cheerful smile in her face.

3rd POV

A woman wearing a loose shirt and a simple shorts march her way up a two story apartment.

"Cassie!!!" She shouted, banging the 3rd door of the apartment.

"Wake the hell up you bitch!! Your rents due today!!" She yelled, banging the door harder.

The door gently opens, a girl nearly 19 years old with a wavy brown hair, tantalizing chocolate eyes and a pink kissable lips, wearing a white long sleeved dress that reach above her knees met the woman's angry face.

"Pay up!!"

"Here you are Mrs Perez, I'm sorry I didn't get to open the door quickly I was in the bathroom." The girl said awkwardly laughing while scratching her cheeks.

"Heh, I could care less what you were doing as long as you pay your rent on time. Got it Cassie?!" Mrs Perez said with a serious face.

"Yes Mrs Perez." The girl named Cassie said with a smile.

"Hmp good" Mrs Perez said walking back down the stairs.

Cassie POV

'Phew that was close I thought she's gonna break down my door with her knocking'

I sigh as I close my apartment door looking at my small one bedroom apartment.

'Its almost time for work, I should get ready' I said walking to my closet picking out a plain white polo shirt and blue jeans. Making my way to the bathroom to take a quick bath.

Opening my faucet letting it fill the small pail with cold water. Humming I took my cold bath thinking of what I would be doing for the rest of the day.

I'm Cassie Alonzo, 18 years old turning 19 in a 2 months so yeah.. I live alone, both of my parents are now gone well by gone I didn't mean dead there just... My mom is a drug addict so she's currently in rehab while my dad is... Well he's used to be good man. A hard working salesman but as years passed by he started to change and well he left us for a new woman when I was 6, I think there married now with 2 kids. I'm the only child so I have to survive for myself and of course for my mom too. I decided to sell candies, pick up trash for recycle, backyard duties,and many more. My mom didn't quite take the whole 'dad leaving us' situation easily cause she started getting a few bad habbits after a few months, she also started to get pretty abusive so I guess you can already imagine my childhood....

When I reach the age 9 my mom became a total different person that my auntie Unice have to call some people to take her forcefully to rehab, and she's been there for I dunno 9 years or so.... Auntie Unice took me in, she lived with her son Lucas and husband Jerry near us. She took care of my studies and gave me a roof to sleep in while I help with the chores and stuff. After a few years I graduated high school at the age of 13 (I graduated early because of the many times I accelerated in elementary years) and decided to sign up for scholarship in collage so auntie wont have to pay for my studies anymore. I got a job as a canteen waitress so I've been able to save some money of my own. After graduating collage (secretary degree) at the age of 16 I told my auntie that I wanna move out. Live a life of my own you know. She was hesitant at first but I convinced her in the end. For 2 years I continue my job as a canteen waitress in the morning till afternoon and call center agent at night till dawn. With my hard work I've been able to support myself for long. When I reach the age of 18, I applied for a better paying morning job. I got accepted in a small but well paying plumbing company as a secretary. While still working as a call center agent at night. I want to keep doing my two jobs until I saved enough to buy my own house. So yep that's me.

After my quick bath, I got dressed and left my apartment with a banana shove in my mouth as breakfast.
