Mr Ego And Miss Sarcasm

Chapter 3

I ran.

The wind blew my hair back and the unshed tears now started to blur my view.

I ran into the park.i knew Boone would be here at this time.

I sat on a swing under a park light and let the tears slowly role down my cheeks.

I wiped them away and let out a string of curse words out .

Bloody rich snobby pathetic greedy bastards .

My dad got fired. And the best part ? He got fired cause he accidentally deleted an important file.

They could've even asked him to pay or something but Na uh . They just were looking for reasons to fire the old staff cause and I quote' young minds are now needed '

Bloody idiots.

A new guy was taking over tomorrow but I didn't give a shit.

Think of all the poor people who would have to lose their daily bread for a bloody scheme!

I couldn't believe that this had actually happened !

I made my way home after cursing the darned souls for a while longer.

******

The next day I got up and had a quick shower.

I had done some thinking last night and had come to a conclusion.

I pulled on some decent clothes and ran down stairs.

My parents were at the breakfast table talking in hushed voices and quietened down the second they saw me approach them.

"Good morning" I said as I poured myself cereal.

"Good morning darling" my mum said with a weak smile. I hated seeing her like this which only helped make my decision stronger.

"I wanted to talk to you guys about something important" I said.

"Yes Autumn?" They encouraged me.

"I um I , I wanna work"

My mum stared at me in shock and my dad shook his head.

"I'm so sorry Autumn but don't worry your father will get a new job quickly you don't need to worry."

"No mum I WANT to work cause I really don't want to attend college and you know I love books so I think I'll get something out the other in a publishing house or even a company. Cause I really want to contribute and kinda miss college, and before you say no, pretty please????" I said making my puppy dog face. Their weakness.

"But-"

"Mum please?"

She sighed and looked at my father.

He had a sad look on his face but he just nodded . I squealed . Yessss.

, I'm gonna go try out tomorrow I said.

No college for a while!

I did a happy dance in my head as i ran to my room to gather my certificates etc. which were required to get a job. That's when I realized.

This wasn't going to be easy.

*****

I looked at myself in the mirror and grinned.

I for once had worn a skirt which was quite uncomfortable and didn't really let your legs do the ONE thing they were made for. Walking.

I fudging shuffled around more than walking. One of the main reasons i didn't wear skirts was because well they were hard to walk in and if I wrote the frilly one I would need matching shorts underneath as a compulsion otherwise guys wouldn't need to undress me with their eyes I'd be on full display.

I pulled on a black blazer as i made my way out of my closet and towards my vanity which I used more like a tables to keep extra stuff on since I didn't use much makeup. All I had was some mascara, lip gloss and load of Chapstick .I could open a museum with then amount i had. And it was usually cause I would buy them for there smell or would think I lost them and buy quite a few and then find all of them at the same time.

I made my way downstairs and kissed my mum and dad goodbye.

"I love you" we whispered to each other.

***********

Lawrence and co.

That was my last stop.
I had visited countless publishing houses around this city for the past four days but I had no luck.

I was either inexperienced or too young.urgh.

I crossed my fingers as I walked in . The building was huge and posh .

I was taken to a waiting room and was asked to do the obvious. Wait.

*****

It's been an hour and a half and the bloody guy hasn't bothered to call me inside.

Pissed off I walked towards the huge doors leading to the head's office. And I knocked.

"Come in" I heard the voice of a man call.

It sounded strangely familiar.

The room was huge and being a humongous desk was a black chair facing the wall so I could only see the back.

I coughed and started to introduce myself in the most polite way I could. It made me gag but I wanted this bad other wise it was back to college.

"Well it's nice to see the slut be nice once in a while" came the familiar voice.

My head which had been starting at my shoes snapped up to see the guy from the plane sitting there with a smirk right there on the black chair.

Well the saying is true.

Karma really is a bitch. And in my case , a big one.
