I got on the 2:00 Bus that was headed to New York From Atlanta.It felt as if we were there 2 seconds after we even got in the damn thing.!

Me and the other passengers got off the bus.I looked at everyone..people who knew where they were going..like they were there with a purpose.!But Ol Lorraine Here..Lml..I had no idea where I was going.

I mean..I didn't know where I was going..no family in the area (That I know of)And absolutely no clothes except the ones I had on my back.

My mind swirling with thoughts,I sat on a nearby bench.This wasn't really apart of my plan.My Dumb ass..

I wrote down a list of things to do

***

-Rent a one bed room apartment

-Use leftover money to buy clothes

-Get food

-AND GET A DAMN JOB!!

With a new organized plan..I asked a dude where the nearest mall was and I was on my way.!

Stonecrest Palace.😻😻

I went into True Religion and got about 9 pairs of jeans/shorts,5 pairs of jogging pants,17 cheap ass t-shirts and 2 hoodies.This is more than enough to get me started.!Now some shoes.

It took me 3 minutes to walk over to Footlocker. I quickly chose 4 pairs of converse,and some sandals.Not my usual choice of shoes,but I still had to rent an apartment.

I took out my phone an looked up Available apartments.Suite 103 in Ashton Pointe looked nice..and it was somewhat cheap.

I called the real estate agent almost instantly.He set up a meeting for tomorrow morning at 10:00 am.

So 10,000.00

- 530.00

Equals what.? 9,070.00?

I think I'm good..but I had one problem.

Where the fuck am I gonna sleep.?!

I know damn well I ain't sleeping out side..that's out of the question.!

Conveniently,there was a hotel across the street from the mall..

As soon as I got to the room I went straight to sleep.

Tired as hell.!

******

The next morning:

*****

I'm Late.!!!How could this happen.?I jumped out of the King sized bed and threw on a pair of shorts and a hoodie.I looked in the mirror..ratchet ness at its best.I had absolutely no time.

I caught a cab."Uh..I need to go to Ashton pointe.!"It took about 12 minutes to get there.

When I arrived a tall Hispanic dude greeted me with the fakest smile I've seen in all my 19 years of life..

"Hi Lorraine.!Im Carlos Montez..thanks for coming.!"

He said with his creepy smile.

I just simply waved.

He led me to a raggedy door labeled 103.The inside looked nothing like it did online.!But hey..on the internet yuu just don't know.!

"Um..This isn't what I was expecting."I said to Carlos with a calm expression.

He turned to me with the same facial expression as before.

"Well the website you found us on hasn't been updated since 2001.!"

I was sick in the stomach..the fuckery.!I didn't pout for long..I've always been good at decorating.So this was just another project.

"I'll take it.!"I declared.And I handed him 700 dollars in cash.

Carlos' smile was gone..replaced with a nasty smirk.

"nice doing business with you.!!"

I Set my shopping bags down on the couch..which had to go.

I had about 7000 left..so..I was still in good shape.

Now it's time to go look for a job..which isn't easy these days.
