"Oh I am so sorry dear I shouldn't have asked!" says Mr Lee the owner of the cafe I work in. He is a really amazing person. He never shouts at us if we do something wrong instead he teaches us how to do it properly. "It's okay Mr Lee can I start again? " I plead

"Sure but...you have start from tomorrow today I can't adjust your shift. " he says "That's okay as soon as I can start." I reply and smile he smiles in return. I leave the office and start walking out but stop when a familiar voice calls out "Hey Claire!" says my best friend Samantha. I smile and walk up to her.

"Hey Sam" I reply "I heard about your parents Claire honestly you don't deserve this" she says with concern eyes I just nod my head still keeping the smile on "I know" I reply

"So when are you joining again?" she ask "From tomorrow. " I reply "Great you get some tim--" she is cut of by our manager Mrs Lee "Samantha attend table four. " she shouts and Samantha rolls her eyes. Mrs Lee is unlike Mr Lee. She gets really angry when her work is not done properly. "See you tomorrow Claire~" she says and jogs back inside.

Seriously it feels like this place is not been cleaned for years. I cough as I dust all the cabinets of the second room. I don't even know why I am doing this but I felt like it. The closet door was slightly open so I open it wide but it is empty except for a small pocket book.

It looks a bit old

It looks a bit old. I clean it with a cloth and examine it carefully. As I was about to open it my phone rings. I place the book on the bed and answer the call. "Hello?!" I ask since it is an unknown number "Hello is this Claire Wilson? " the person ask with a manly voice clear enough for me to recognize it's a man.

"Yes how may I help you?" I ask a bit confused on who this person is "I am Vance Brook your family lawyer I just wanted to ask you something?" he says sternly "Yes what do wanna ask? " I ask as I take the book and exit the room while sitting on the couch I place the book on the table.

"This is a bit important for you listen your uncle called from Australia saying that you are his responsibility and he would like you to stay with him. " he finishes "So--" he cuts me off "If he takes your responsibility the inheritance papers of your family property will belong to him directly." he says as his tone turns serious "Are you kidding me? I am twenty-two year old how can this even be possible?" I ask unbelievable about what he said.

"Yes it is possible since there is no one left in your family except for you and him but there's a catch he can only take your responsibility if you allow him choice is yours? " he says and I sigh in relief "Okay then tell him that I don't need him to take care of me" I say "Okay that's a good decision." he replys

This shower feels good. Feels like all my stress is revealed. I wonder if I will ever make a boyfriend. Being homeschooled is not the most amazing thing. You never get to know the world outside. For me this all things feel so new. I just love this!

After shower I prepare some food to eat. I feel way to lonely here. I think I need a housemate. Not for the rent because I can just pay it all in once but just that I don't feel so lonely.

Yes I need a housemate!

As I eat my phone rings. The caller was Samantha. A smile crept on my face. I still remember when I was only twenty I sneaked out of the house for the first time. Roaming around in the city I found her or maybe she found me. I was someone who really was unknown to this new world at that time. And she was willing to help me with that. That's how we became best friends. She knows everything about me. And it's been two years of being friends with her, sneaking out and working at the cafe.

I quickly accept the call. "Hii~Claire" says the very cheerful Samantha "What's up you sound happy" I ask as I laugh "Ah yes today Mr Lee gave us bonus you know!" she says excited "Shit! Great I just missed some bonus" I say laughing "Don't worry Mr Lee said he will give you tomorrow such a nice man" she says and I laugh.

I prepare my bed and lay down as I cover myself with the bed sheet. Tomorrow my work starts. I just smile on the thought of working again. I just love my work place. Soon sleep engulfs me and I close my eyes falling asleep.
