Chapter 1: The encounter

There were feelings of rays of sunlight in my eyes. Due to it causing discomfort I raised up and massaged my eyes. Damn, the sun going to be extremely strong today. I dragged my body out the bed and waddled to the bathroom. The weatherman said it was supposed to be cooler but that just goes to show you that they don't know what the fuck they're blabbing about to the public. I jumped in the shower turning it to cold right away. Even if I managed this desert-like weather there was no doubt in my mind that I wouldn't pass out just from stepping foot outside. Did I really need to go shopping that bad?

"I might as well just suck it up," I muttered

I finished up washing so I dried off and got dressed in blue ripped jeans, black & white Vans high tops and a crop top. I'm only 21 so I didn't need to dress professionally until I secured the job I applied for. Which hopefully I got because I'm currently unemployed and broke which is a bad combination. I retrieved my purse along with my phone and when I tell you it felt like a volcano letting its magma pool on my skin outside. I can't even make this shit up regret was forming in the pit of my stomach as I sat in the leather seats in my Lexus a hiss escaped as I leaned back fully. "Son of a bitch! I should've put you in the damn garage like I'd planned to last night," As soon as my car warmed up I turned on the air conditioning. I drove straight to the store and I had to prep myself to get out. And when I did I found myself walking faster then I intended to.

"Welcome," I heard a familiar voice

I raised my head up since I fix my gaze on the ground instead of actually looking at where I'm going it's been a habit of mine since I was little "Hey, how are you holding up in this heat?" I now wore a smile at my friend

She rolled her eyes while she fanned herself with the sell ad. "I'm not. It's too hot to be fucking working in this damn store. Not to mention they didn't turn on the air conditioning so I'm melting in places I should NEVER sweat in," she said with a miserable expression "What about you? I know you have a heat interlace so you must be more miserable than me not to mention when we get in the sun we fry like fried chicken," she chuckled

"I'm miserable just like you but the good news is that I've applied for a job so hopefully I can secure it so I don't starve and can keep up with my bills." I grabbed a book and started fanning myself to help out.

"I'm happy for you girl I hope you get it, Unlike someone I know who tries to freeload off of others with their lazy ass," she started walking with me throughout the store as we basically complained mostly about this damn heat wave going on. She picked up various items like I could afford all that was thrown into the basket I flicked my eyes to the basket and back to her until she got the hint. She smiled sheepishly "Sorry, I forgot and don't worry about it I'll pay for it and give us a fifty percent discount," She nudged me playfully and we started laughing which earned us a few glances from people, I spotted my favorite chips an so I made my way over there and next I know I crashed into a wall and landed right on my ass, good thing I have one.

"Watch, where the fuck you're going next time you fucking twat," I heard an domestic snarl

"Um, excuse you dick sucking bitch! You were the one who didn't fucking watch where they're going next time you say something I advise you to not be on your phone jerk!" She was by my side in a second helping me collect myself. I told her "thank you"and dusted off my jeans

"Yeah, what the fuck ever go fuck yourselves," he pushed past me almost knocking me back to the floor. She was about to charge up to him but I held her back

"He's not worth it come on before you commit first-degree murder." I literally dragged her away from scene because she was not about to let him off with what he did a few seconds ago after convincing her that I was quite alright she calmed down but of course she wasn't all that calm so she did what she knew best she grabbed the extra spicy hot Cheetos and started munching on them. Spicy foods always helped her calming which is quite funny to me.

"Hey, after I'm done ringing her up I'm going to assist her with the bags," she said to a skinny boy

"The boss isn't going to approve," he sighed

"The boss knows not to cross me, after all, he can be humiliated after what I announce to the public and I know for a fact he doesn't want that," she had a devilish smirk plastered on her face just knowing what destruction she could bring with the flick of the tongue. And trust and believe she would do it without hesitation after she was finished giving us a discount she walked me to the car assisting with the bags.

"Well, I'll talk to you later mommas. See you later," she waved and walked back into the store

"See ya and thank you," turning my attention back to the task at hand I hurriedly hop back in the vehicle and drove off but not before seeing a group of police cars on the corner. One of them was yelling and demanding answers. Anything can happen in such a short amount of time.
