It's just another day like the day before. You get up go to work and went home again. 'Home' is that what you're calling a two room flat with barely any furniture. You just rolled yourself out of the small bed and under the cold shower. Warm water would had been to much to asked for. After getting clothed and brushing your teeth you leave the house to go to work. At work all the customers are looking strange at you but you are used to that. It's not so often that a girl is working as a mechanic, so you can understand. Actually you're not really working as a mechanic but you're wearing the same uniform so the customers don't care. You love your job. You love to draw and after you couldn't pay for canvas anymore you start to draw on random cars in the street. A lot of people got angry with you and you got into a lot of trouble with the police, but luckily you had Joe who helped you as best as he could. He got you out of the police stuff and if that wasn't enough he also got you a job. Now you're drawing on cars in a legal way. And people love you for that. Today was a pretty busy day and all the mechanics had to work on a car and sometimes also on two at the same time. It got fuller and fuller and Joe seem to be pretty stressed. You just heard him scream:
'I DONT FUCKING CARE IF YOURE FAMOUS OR NOT AND IF YOU NEED YOUR CAR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE YOU HAVE TO WAIT AS LONG AS THE OTHERS!'
You didn't saw him but you could tell that his face would be red with anger. You put your aerosol back on the table beside you and walked over to Joe. He was standing with a guy who had ginger hair, a blonde women and a men. You kinda know the women from somewhere but didn't know exactly from where.
'Hey Joe, if you want I can take a look at it'
you just asked not caring if they had a conversation or not. Joe just nodded and walked away.
'So where's your car?' You asked nice.
'A woman should be able to repair my car? No way!'
Another older man said. Your got a bit angry. It's okay if they look strange at you but if they effect you just because you're a woman you get really angry.
'Me or no one will take a look on your car, so you tell me which one or you go and look for another garage to repair your shit!'
'Alright come down, love', the ginger giggled and pointed to a black car. You walked over and looked at it.
After 2 hours of work you finished the work and cleaned your fingers on your uniform.
'You wanna try your car or keep starring at my butt?'
You turned around and asked the people sitting on the couch behind you. The 3 man all looked away and the women rolled her eyes. The grumpy man went over to the car and looked surprised at you when the car worked and now it was your time to roll your eyes. The ginger hugged you and whispered 'thank you, love' in your ear and put something in to your hand. When he pulled away and you looked at it and saw a piece of paper with a phone number on it. You looked confused at the ginger again who just winked at you and got into the car.
