Teylie Martins is an average teenager. She is in her last year of school at Miami High!
Summer is coming up and her mim is not coping well with finance. So Teylie puts matters in her own hands by applying to work at The Smit's Oil Firm. The Smit's O...
School was now finished and now I am on my way to get the bus. When I heard Sarah calling me. I turned around and smiled at her. "Tey I will give you a ride home." She said smiling at me. "Really. You don't need to work today?" I asked walking towards her.
"Nope I am off today and Friday!" She said walking next to her. "Well hop in!" She said swinging her bag in the backseat. I do what she did and climbed in. Her car smells like vanilla and cream. She smells like that all the time.
We got to my place. And I climbed out of her car. "Do you want to come in Sarah?" "No thanks I am alright thanks." She said and waved to me before she went home. She lived about 3 blocks away from me. So it's not bad.
I opened the door and man I need to eat and make supper but what. I put my bag down by the first steps and headed towards the kitchen. I made myself some coffee and took three Tim Tams and headed upstairs to do my homework. I plugged my phone in and played my music. It is the only way I can focus.
I had a lot of homework and I didn't realize that it was almost 10 pm. Shoot, where did the time go. I was busy on my Economics homework for Mr Smit. We had to write what we want to do after college. My essay was about 4 pages long. I know right.. that's a lot I know.
I went downstairs and grated some cheese. I am going to make a toasted cheese. I wrote mom a note to say that I made toasted cheese and she won't mind having that.
I went to shower and wash my hair. I love my shampoo and conditioner. It is coconut and vanilla. I climbed into my pyjamas and went to sit down to blow dry my hair. I packed my bag for tomorrow so that I don't have what I went through on Monday.
I sent everyone a message saying good night and I got one from everyone except my mom. Maybe she is busy I will see her tomorrow morning. I went downstairs to lock the doors and wash my dishes that I made dirty. And headed to bed. But before I could I heard my front door handle move. I stood still. Not moving one muscle. It kept moving and then the door went open I nearly screamed when I saw my mom. I put my hand on my heart and said, "Fok ma!" (Fuck Mom!) She looked at me and said sorry. "Why you home early Mom!" I asked as she locked the door.
She threw her keys on the key bowl and flopped down on the chair. Her head in her Hands. "I got fired!" She said running her face with her Hands. O no! I went to sit with my mom and asked what happened. She told me that Jason who happens to be her manager was abusing her. And she kicked him in the balls. She looked at me and started to cry.
"Its okay mommy. I can get a job on the weekends and it won't be much but at least it's better than nothing!" I tried to call her down. Jason is so going to die. No one hurts my family and friends. Mom told me to get some sleep and she will to and then tomorrow she will look for jobs.
Mom didn't sleep as I heard the tv on downstairs. I walked slowly down the stairs and saw my mom sleeping on the couch. I saw on the other one that there is a blanket and so I took it and covered her. I switched off the tv and went back to bed.
*** Next morning***
I didn't have to stop my alarm clock as I was already awake just lying in bed. Thinking of what I have to do. I went to the bathroom and washed my face and went to my closet and looked for a couple of seconds.
