Desperate.

Chapter 1

My name is Marianna. Growing up with that name, I used to get questions like,
"Are you a twin?"
"Were is your twin?"
"You are a twin right?"

Wrong.

I am not a twin. But sometimes, I wish I was though, 'cause with parents that don't even care, it's just me against the world. Now, I am almost 22 and my life couldn't get any more boring than this. Since I did extra work, I finished college in two years instead of four. And now I have this job with wonderful colleagues.... most of them and a very annoying boss.

"Want to go get some ice cream after work?" My boy bestie, Jonathan asked.

"I doubt it. She would rather be asleep". Mercy, my other bestie chipped in.

"Actually Lady Pessimist, I would love to. Where we headed?"

"Oh, Cold Stone Creamery of course".
Said Jonathan."My treat".

"So, what you guys getting? 'Cause I know I'm getting my favourite flavour-"

"Vanilla and Banana mix" They both said and burst out laughing.

"Marianna Kayori. Even a stranger meeting you for the first time will know your favourite ice-cream".

"That's just over exaggerating. Anyway let me just hand these files over to Grumpy and then we'll leave".

"Haha. Jonathan laughed. "Just don't let him hear you. He still signs your cheques you know".

"Whateves. It's not like I'm lying anyway".

"Sir, I finished the paperwork you handed over to me this morning".

"Did you finish it?"

What did I just say?

"Yes sir".

"Did you put the company's stamp?"

"Yes sir".

"And-"

"I completed everything sir. Can I leave now?"

"Yes yes. You can. Call me Dara on your way out".

Very annoying. Somebody really needs the fairies' visit. And he needs it quick.

"Dara". I called in a singsong voice.

"What?!"

Somebody fell off the wrong side of the bed today..... I'll remind her to get harder floors. ICU was ovbiously made for her.

"Are you going to tell me why I heard my name from your mouth?"

"Oh right. Mr. Boss wants you in his office now".

"Why?"

"Let's get going guys. Those Ice-creams aren't going to lick themselves you know".

"I asked a question."

"Which I didn't answer".

"Humph. How rude".

"Learn from the best. Now don't keep him waiting."

"Wow you got her bad. If I say so myself". Mercy said as she burst out laughing.

"Haha. Mercy your smile will turn upside down if you do not get your butt in this car in the next second". I said smiling innocently.

"Wow, grumpy much?" She said as she got in.

"Well with Ice-cream, anything is possible."

Even I couldn't help but laugh.
