Carina Thompson

"Sometimes the best thing you can do is not think, not wonder, not imagine, obsess. Just breathe, & have faith that everything will work out for the best."

I sighed and closed my book. I was expected to be at work at 11. I looked at my watch seeing it was going on 10 o'clock. I gasped rushing into the bathroom. It usually takes me 30 minutes to get to work so I knew I was going to be late.

After I finished my hygiene I ran downstairs grabbing an apple then flew out the door. I didn't understand why I grabbed an apple nor why I even buy them, I don't even like them!

I jumped into my car attempting to start the engine but it wouldn't budge. I screamed in frustration, cursing at myself for not getting a new car when I had the chance.

"Hello"

"Hi Cynthia, its Carina. Im calling because there's a possibility I might be late to work. I'm so sorry my car won't start and I lost track of time this morning"

"Oh hey hmm okay. I'll get Juslina to watch your class for the time being" I rolled my eyes at the terrible creature that was mentioned.

"Okay. I'm terribly sorry once again. I have to get this car fixed or something"

"I understand. Things happen, just let me know when or if you get someone to check it out"

"Okay thank you"

"No problem" She hung up. I groaned throwing my phone in the passenger seat.

"Why me? Huh? Why me" I spoke out loud. "I don't even want to use all my money to get a whole new car but I need one. I should probably stop talking to myself for these people think I'm crazy" I chuckled. Woah a laugh, the highlight of my day.

I reached for my phone then called Triple-A.

"Hi thanks for calling Triple-A its Kat speaking"

"Hi Kat. I'm Carina, I have a problem over here. My engine will not start what so ever. Won't even jerk"

"Sorry to hear that. We can send one of our trunks over to your location now"

"That actually would be great. I'm in front of my house. How soon can you get someone here"

"We have a lot of people waiting for arrival to assist them so maybe 2 to 3 hours"

"2 to 3 hours!" My eyes widen.

"Yes, ma'am. Were a very busy company we don't intentionally want you to wait that long"

"I get it. Alrighty"

"Is your name Carina Thompson? Lives at 228 Angus road?"

"Uh- yes"

"Ok, we have your file right here. Sit tight thanks for choosing us"

"No p-" I took the phone off my ear, seeing she just hung up on me.
Deciding there was no use of me sitting in the car the whole time I went back into the house.

Going into the kitchen I dialed Cynthia's number back putting my phone on speaker and placing it on the counter.

"Hello?" I said throwing a bagel in the toaster.
