Amber Shaw lives in a small country with her dad.She leaves for high school early morning and does a part time job in the evening. Even with the money that they both make they just manage to run the house hold. She is happy even after all this but t...
Amber sat in the chair opposite the principle with her hands folded in her lap. The principle had looked up at her serves times but always went back to her paper work without speaking a word.
"Miss? I'm sorry to interrupt but I'm a bit nervous about what your about to tell me." Amber finally broke the silence.
Miss Legend removed her spectacles off her hooked nose and placed them carefully in their case before turning to Amber. Her lips formed a thin line that made her looked strict but Amber felt relived by looking into her light blue eyes that held a loving warmth.

"Miss Amber I have heard of you and your father's conditions and I wanted to offer you a job." Miss Legend paused at every word.
"I would have loved too but I already have a job and it will be quite difficult to work two places and even go to school." Amber frowned.
"Well I know how much they pay you and my nephew is willing to pay twice as much and also offer you a bit of food every day." Miss Legend smiled.
"Where is it exactly? And what time are my shifts?" Amber asked.
"Two thirty pm to eight pm. You can start tomorrow if you like but first you have to meet my nephew after school today. It is three blocks from here. The place is called River side Cafe." Miss Legend looked down at another sheet and signed it.
"Of course I will and why have all my classes been cancelled? Will you please let Jane know?" Amber asked.
"Well I wanted you to visit my nephew right now. He had some work and I wanted you to help him out. He will of course pay you for the help." Miss Legend removed a few sheets from a folder and started signing them too.
"Thank you for all the help Miss Legend. It really means a lot to me and my dad." Amber said gratefully.
Miss Legend nodded a reply while signing the last paper and Amber slung her backpack over her shoulder and let herself out of the office. She walked down the hallway to her classroom and grinned as she saw all the faces waiting for the maths period to get over. Lastly she asked one of the teachers who was passing by the way to the cafe before leaving the school grounds.
She walked down the sidewalk free from school and with happy thoughts of earning money. The little wind caused her hair to fly and she squinted her eyes from the early morning sun. A few people were checking out the dress shops opposite the road while a man was playing the guitar and a huge crowd was gathered around listening to him. The traffic moved slowly and she smiled as she saw a mother cradling her little baby who was crying.
After ten minutes of dragging herself in the heat of the sun the shop came into sight and Amber ran towards it. It was a big shop painted in red and yellow with the name on the roof in big block letters. A few men were placing the tables and chairs outside while a man in his mid teens was directing them around.
"Excuse me.Does Miss Legend's nephew work here?." Amber interputted the guy before he could give another order to the workers.
"Of course he does. Your talking to him right now." The guy laughed.
The guy extended his hand and Amber shook it politely before he introduced himself as Mike Pitt. He turned back to the workers while Amber took him in. He wore black jeans and a football jersey and had green eyes and messy black hair till his shoulders. He was well built with a bit of a tan which was surprising since he was only in his mid teens.

"So your name is Amber Shaw and your 14?" Mike asked turning to Amber once again.
"Yes and your? I mean you don't have to tell me. I understand because some people like to keep their age to themselves." Amber asked politely.
"I'm 15. I know my body looks like I'm twenty or thirty but sometimes having a body like this has its uses."Mike joked.
Amber laughed and tucked a stand of hair behind her ear. She was already starting to like Mike. He was different in every way from her old boss. Her old boss never showed her any kindness and then there was Mike who treated her so well even though she hadn't started working yet.
"I guess my aunt must have already told you this but I would like to tell you again. I will pay you twice as much as the people earn at Centeral Cafe and you shall get something to eat everyday." Mike tapped his shoes on the floor impatiently as the workers lifted up another table.
"Yes she has already told me and I will be here by 2:30 tomorrow. She also told me you having some work for me right now." Amber asked.
"I do. Can you shift those pile of boxes inside? I'll pay you something in return." Mike gestured to a pile of boxes in one corner.
Amber looked at the twenty boxes and nodded. It was going to be hard but she could finish it in an hour or so and then head down to the shop near her house and buy the cake she had been looking at earlier this morning.
