I walked down the steps of my apartment click clack click clack went my shoes, step by step i walked down. I was all ready for work with my cargo pants, my black shoes with a silver lining on the edge, my tie and my blue plaid cover shirt with a black tank top under it. I walked to the bus stop and readied myself for the ride looking for the green cash dollar bill. I scavenged for change finding only 2 dollar bills and a dime. The bus price was 3 dollars and 50 cent. I sighed and started to walk to work, my legs hurt, as people stared at me, i sunk down , slouching my back and kept walking. I tried to avoid human interaction the best i could but some guys would hit on me. My hair was in a ponytail, my hair went down to butt it swaying in back of me. I finally arrived at work. I stepped through the double doorway the doors opened inwards i pushed them with a sigh. People waved at me, i waved back awkwardly. I sat into my closed in area starting to go threw the computer sometimes playing a game but closing it when my boss walked past. "Miss Sophie! Are you doing your work?!" My boss yelled at me. "Y-Yes sir i am!" I stuttered being a bit scared. "Alright keep doing your work" He turned around quickly, to quick he spun and fell on his face. Everyone tried not to laugh. My boss got up, dusted off his pants and shirt, and cleared his throat. "EVERYONE BACK TO WORK" he said and then walked off. Everyone laughed for a bout 9 or 10 minutes and i just sat there, silent in my closed in room and stared at my desk with a blank expression. These days repeated for about a mouth. Day after day Monday to Friday every week, the same thing happens. Every weekend i walked to a caffe where a guy worked every weekend that always loved to see me, i don't know why.. I wear square glasses i have long messy blond hair and i always wore a sweatshirt with the words "A dark sky is a dark life." I know it might be depressed but my best friend gave it to me about 2 years ago until she passed from a car accident.. I sat in the chair that i usually sit in every time i went there. Everyone knew me since i went there all the time. "Hay Soph!" The guy at the counter said to me with an excited tone. He wore a black tie an apron that said "papa Coke's Cafe and more" On it. I smiled weekly exhausted from work. "The usual?" he asked smiling back. I nodded. He was gone for about 2 to 3 minutes it took that long every time i went. He came back with a medium mint coffee and a sweet smelling lemon cake, it was fresh from the oven steaming with powdered sugar sprinkled over it. I licked my lips and thanked him. I grabbed some cash i found on the road and some i had stored in my wallet. "Here" I handed him the money. "No No it's fine! It's on the house!" He smiled at me and started to wash the counter. "Really?" i was confused as this never happened to me. "Yup! Now eat up before it gets cold" He pointed towards the cake and coffee. I nodded. I ate the cake and drank the coffee in a small amount of time. "Well thanks so much!" I smiled a bit stronger. "Hay Umm. Soph do you umm.. Want to go on a date with me?" he asked me. Wait Wait hold up what just happened? A date!?! I hesitated. "u-Um... S-Sure" I stuttered. WHAT WAS I THINKING!!! "Alright! I'll see you in about a week for a movie and a restaurant!" He smiled brightly. Maybe this was my own fairy tail.. I had little fancy clothing. I walked home pondering on what i should wear. "Hm.. i can't go to the mall.. Don't have the money.." i sighed. "Well i guess this is one better thing to happen to me" I kept walking to my apartment. I stayed up all night till 2am in the morning. It was still dark.. I went to sleep for the few hours i had left and woke up, with bags under my eyes, hurting all over. And my days went downhill until the date
