A Quick Buck Is All I Need

Over the past couple years of my life,things were never handed to my family and I. We didn't have the same advantage to life as other families with our status.

My dad,of course, has always worked as a cop, while,for the past 4 years,my mom worked as a teacher. In all honesty my dad got treated like absolute crap for being half Black & half Mexican,so we had to live off of a teacher's salary.

My parents always wanted the best for me,so even though we were somewhat poor they treated me as though they worked for Oprah. I knew that ,despite what they were telling me ,we needed help. That's what made me want to help out. I started to babysit, which brought in a good amount of cash. So, despite what everyone thinks, I'm very fond° of working.

Since my dad's in the hospital,I thought about getting a job to help him with medical bills. Even though he moved up to becoming a detective, dad still isn't paid as much as everyone else is. Which is why it's a good idea to help him out.

I know he won't be too fond of the idea, but he'll know I'm right in the end. Nevertheless, I'm going to look for a good job today.

New message from My Guy😌
/ My Guy😌= Josh\
/ Bbg🤤= Samantha \

I turned on my phone to see why this guy was texting me at 9 o'clock in the morning. As I thought what it could be about I got a little anxious,but after a lot of thought I finally opened the messaging app to see what he wanted.

My Guy😌:

Where are you? I've been waiting at the Chicken Shack for 15 minutes!(9:07am)

Bbg🤤:

What are you talking about?(9:11am)

My Guy😌:

Just get your tush down here!(9:12am)

Bbg🤤:

It's too early in the morning for this 😥(9:12am)

My Guy😌:

But a quick Buck is all you need(9:13am)

Bbg🤤:

That's it! Wait there I'm coming to the shack as fast as I can!(9:13am)

I quickly got ready for what was about to happen,but just then I realized that since I didn't have a car I'd have to walk. 'I guess I'll just ask Jae to drive me,' I thought.

I went to Jae's side of the room in hopes of convincing him to take me to the Chicken Shack. "Hey Jae," I said obviously hinting that I wanted something.

"Yeah S?" He replied looking up from his MacBook computer.

"I'm in need of a favor. Do you think you can help me out?"

"Depends."

"On?"

"What it is and if you can return the favor."

"Yeah,of course."

"Ok then. What's the favor?"

"Can you drive me to the Chicken Shack down the street?"

"Alright."

7 minutes later

"Thanks for the ride,Jae." I exclaimed getting out of the car.

"No problem S,and tell Josh I said hi." Jae said before I closed the car door.

As I walked over to Josh,he looked slightly annoyed. Then immediately asked why was I so ready to get there. In which I said, "I want to get a job to help out my dad,and this is the perfect place."

He looked at me for about 30 seconds and said, "You eat chicken not make it."

"How hard could it be?"

"Ight whatever you say."

I turned to what I assumed to be the manager to ask, "Are you all hiring?"

"Yeah!" He smiled.

"Oh, when can I start?"

"Right now."

"Really?"

"Yeah, it's rush hour. We need all the help we can get. But first tell me your name,Date of birth,and if you've ever committed a felony°."

"Samantha Rachel Thomas. I was born on December 25th,1998. And no I've never committed a felony in my life."

"Okay I'm going to take your word for it,but if I hear any bad thing about you you're fired. Got it?"

"Got it."

To make it long story short I did the job pretty good until--

"Oh god! I'm so sorry! Here's a napkin."

"It's okay. You must be new here?" She asked as she cleaned herself up.

"Yeah. Today's my first day actually. I'm really sorry about your dress! I can pay for it if you want."

"No it's fine."

I'm glad she said that, because I can not afford Gucci. That would've cost me at least 4 pay checks and a job.

"What's your name anyway?" She continued.

"Samantha."

"Jazzy," she said shaking my hand.

"That day we exchanged phone numbers and interestingly enough became friends--And that's why there's another girl in the bathroom." I said finishing the story to Jae.

"Y'know you could've just said she was your friend."

"But where's the fun in that?"
