"I'm sorry dear we just don't have any vacancies, the last spot was taken by that young lady over there" she said pointing to a some girl who was currently giving coffee to an old man.

I came to 'Sunshine Coffee House' for a job interview, not to be fired before even going through with the interview.

"Oh it's fine" I said giving the old lady infront of me a small smile before getting out of the small coffee shop.

Then all of a sudden my phone started to ring huffing angrily I picked it up.

"How'd the interview go?" I heard Cara's voice ask.

"How'd you get my number?" I asked quizzically.

"When you weren't paying attention for lunch Ryan took your phone and gave me the number as he took it down on his phone, oh and he saved his number on your phone as Sex God, in my opinion that was a gross choice" she said honestly making me role my eyes as I sat in my car.

"You two really need to respect privacy!" I said shaking my head.
"Forget privacy! What happened with the job?" she asked inquisitively.

"I didn't get it" I said quickly and quietly.

"Oh.. Sorry?" she asked unsure.

"I guess it all happens for a reason" I said shrugging.

"There's a vacancy in the diner I work in!" she said all of a sudden.

"Which diner?" I asked curiously.
"Tate's Diner, you know the one you-"

"The one I used to go to everyday before rehab? I love that place! Are you sure they have a vacancy?" I asked.

"Yep" she said and I smiled and thanked her before zooming down to Tate's Diner.

As I reached there I walked through the glass door as the bell rang above me. I walked to the front counter which was pretty full.

"Hey I heard that there's a job vacancy here?" I asked the cashier unsure.

"Oh yes! Just go straight in there, the boss will inform you" a rather sweet boy explained.

"Thanks Brian" I said reading his name tag.

I walked straight to the door in the corner of the room. I knocked twice before someone opened the door. In there I saw a man about in his 50's as he smiled and motioned for me to enter.

"Hey, I'm Raven Stone and I'm looking for a job?" I said smiling and sitting infront of his table.

"Hello Raven I'm Dave Tate, now for a few questions, have you ever been a waitress before?" he asked smiling.

"Yes actually, I used to be a waiteress in this restaurant called Reynolds a year back and I quit the job" I said honestly.

"Why did you quit?" he asked.
