Walking into the store that I always had gone to, suddenly felt different. It was my store now, I had to help take care of it.
I had grown up coming to this exact store every Sunday for groceries. So on the day I turned 16, and I mean to the exact minute I was born, I applied for a position.They called me the very next day, so I guess they liked my application. Here I am today, walking into the same store, only going into a room I had never been. I stood in front of a door that said " Employee's Only! " in big red letters for 5 minutes in awe. This is really my first job, I'm finally doing it.
I probably wouldn't of applied for this job if it hadn't been for my newest and greatest opportunity yet. I got accepted to go to an international festival held in London, only for the most talented actors and actresses.
I represent The United States, so I guess I'm Miss United States? I don't know, but the trip costs 7,000 dollars and I needed that in a year.
I have my whole life planned out. I'll do the fine arts plan at my school, go to the biggest theatre college in existence, major in acting and film, and become a star.
But, this whole thing starts with this trip, and this job. This job, as a bagger, oui vey, but a job is a job and I took it.
I walked into the room to find the manager clicking at keys on her computer. Her dark hair was in a bun, and she had on thin reading glasses. She looked up over her glasses,
" Olivia Paige? "" Yes Ma'am. " I replied
" Call me Amber. Nice to meet you. I'm not gonna waste any more time seeing we have already met, so here is your shirt. "
She handed me a dark orange shirt with the company logo on the bottom.
" Go try it on, I'm guessing you're a medium "" Yes Ma'am- I mean.. Amber. " I nodded.
She smiled sweetly and gestured towards the bathroom.

" Here is the break room to your left, and to the right you will see the storage unit. You won't need that most likely because your a bagger. Let's go up front and I'll introduce you to the person that will be helping you out. Her name is Jess. "As we walked to the front a girl with blonde ringlets came into view. She was gorgeous, blue eyes, blonde hair, petite face... slender, but not the type of slender that's sickening.
" Please let that be Jess " I said to myself.
Soon enough, there I was, standing in front of the most beautiful girl I've seen.
" Hey can you train her? It's her first day "She looked up, her perfect blonde curls framing her petite face.
" Ok Amber, I'll get right on that. Let me just find someone to take my place. "
" Great! Thank you very much Jess. " Amber replied as she turned to me, " Now don't let her be mean to you, she may be pretty but she's fierce! " she giggled as she walked away.
I looked at Jess and we exchanged smiles.
" Well, let's get started. " She chimed.
