He leaned back on his chair in his office as the moon light shone. He groaned looking at the sheet of paper in his hand. He didn't know what to do. It was the first time he was stuck like this. He sat up and thought about it. Just then the door opened
"Stop thinking so hard, you'll hurt yourself", A voice said in amusement.
August looked up to see his brother...well not his actual brother but they could be. He smiled at the man, "What are you doing here? Didn't you leave a while ago?" He says standing to his feet, his mind far. "I did but mama kept blowing up my phone asking for you and why I left you here." He shook his head. August threw his coat at his brother "Think fast, Trey!" The coat hit Trey in his face. "That's it! Next time I'm leaving your dumb ass here! I'll tell mama that your phone died! I'm not dong this shit with you!" He talks to himself walking out the room.
August chuckles looking at the paper one more time sighing. "Hurry up man! Mama is calling me again!" He put the paper away following him outside "I'm coming!" He left the building as they got into the car.

He looked at Trey, "You taking me home?"
Trey looked at him with the most annoyed face "No, I'm taking you to the fucking zoo, where the hell do you want me to take you again!?" August shakes his head, "Man I can't ask you nothing."

He groans taking off his clothes jumping into his bead. Why was this affecting him like this? It was nothing! He didn't know why this as happening to him but it better stop.

Serenity ~
She got up late scrambling all over the room. She fumbles with the lipstick trying not to mess it up, again. This is the third time this week she was late and she couldn't afford to do it so often. "What's with all the noise in here?" Her best friend, Naeun said rubbing her head as she just woke up. "I'm late!" She says grabbing her heels. "You mean you're late...again" Serenity rolled her eyes pacing her earrings on "Whatever!"
"What? I was just stating facts" Naeun shrugs. Serenity grabs her bag "Later!" She rushes out the house getting a cab. Serenity looked around the cab, something was off, she felt like she was being watched.

Serenity ran in her work signing in without being seen. She rushed to her office and sat down feeling relieved, "Thank God", dropping her body on the chair. "You really though that you wouldn't get noticed?" Her head shot up seeing her boss. "Sir! I didn't see you there" She says going to her feet. "Sure... do you know what the company is about, Ms. Priddie?" He circles her. "Uh... it's about..." He cut her off
"Wrong!" She looked at him in disbelief "But I didn't even answer"
"You stuttered, Ms. Priddie and that's gonna show that you're weak and we can't have that here, can we?" She shook her head, "No sir" He looed at her. "I want you to clean up your office and be out by tonight" Her eyes widened, "No sir, please! Just give me one more chance and I'll show you that I'm serious about my job!"
Serenity felt like her life was gonna end right there and then. Her heart rate went sky high. "We don't do second chances, it's either you got it or you don't." Tear fell from her eyes. Where was she going to find a job now? She sat down in shock holding her chest. "Sir please... don't do this." This had to be a dream, that's all that was going through her mind. Just a sick, twisted dream. She soon felt a hand on her back, "Maybe someone is hiring for maids, that's what your kind is good at doing anyway"
She stood up feeling annoyed, angry, sad but most if all disrespected, "I don't know what you think this is but I graduated from high school and university with my certificate! I'm qualified for this job! I don't think you know what century we're in but slavery is over you white piece of shit! Go fuck yourself you no good asshole."
With that she left the office leaving him stunned. To be honest, she felt good. Her mother didn't raise a bitch. She wasn't taking that without a fight. Even though she was rejoicing, she still had to find a job. Serenity got in a cab going back home.
