You

chapter two- A Special Shift

Kara's POV - days later - September 22nd, 2019

"I'm sorry to hear that you are no longer going to be with us in this program" the education instructor says over the phone "Yeah, I just, my other classes have been stressing me out and I never have time and it's all like *makes a stressful noise*" I say. "Okay, well it was nice meeting you and I hope you have a great day" she says "you too, bye and thanks again, for giving me the opportunity to be in the courses" then we exchange goodbyes.

So, I removed myself from the Literature course I was taking and moved my Science Courses online. Doctor Finley. That's what I wanna be called one day. All the courses I'm taking either include doctor stuff or medical stuff.

Speaking of my medical class, I'm pretty sure I have a physical exam in a few weeks. I'm have to prepare for that and study for it.

I should've introduced myself.

I'm Kara Finley, I'm 20 years old, in my 3rd year of college. I live in Toronto with my roommate Brenna, I have zero family members. Well I have parents and an older brother, Tim,  but my parents disowned me after they found out I didn't wanna be a police officer. I didnt want to from the start. My mom is a detective and my dad is a policeman, and my brother being my brother, he's in his training, with him being older and stuff, he finished college and his now almost an officer. But anyways, I was 16 when I moved out, I lived 15 hours away from where I do now and came all the way down here for my schooling.

It's a little lonely everyone once and a while, like at Christmas time and thanksgiving but usually Brenna would let me come an stay with her family, but I don't think I will this year, I don't wanna invade.

I have a bestfriend back at home. Her name is Venus, yes like the planet. I've known her my whole life basically and we did literally everything together. She's a year younger than I am and just graduated high school this year, she's taking a year break and then coming down to live with Brenna and I in a house. And I honestly can't wait.

Brenna is out grocery shopping, I did it last time so it's her turn. I scroll through Facebook, looking at the different posts people post. Memes, photos of themselves, of babies, family portraits, music. It's all interesting at first but then it gets boring a little while after. It's 5:30pm and my shift at the local diner starts at 6:30, I'm a waitress and cashier, I'm never both in one shift. I lay in bed for a little while till Brenna comes back with the microwave food and toaster oven things. "I thought you'd never come back, I'm starving" I joke while she puts the stuff away and I begin to help, she chuckles then says "the total was $450.37" she hands me the receipt. I make myself pizza pops before heading into the shower.

"How long is your shift tonight?" She asks while putting something in the oven and I grab my work clothes "6:30 to 11:30 tonight" she nods I go into the shower to run the water, putting on the Shawn Mendes playlist. I've put all my favourites onto one playlist and girlllll, it's the best thing I've ever did.

After doing my shower routine, I blow dry my hair till it's damp, putting it in the usual braid it's in. I would love to cut my hair but it doesn't even reach the middle of my back yet. Around 6:20 I decide to start walking to the local diner, it's just down the road. "I'll see you when I get back" I tell Brenna before heading out. I walk down the street, listening to Shawn's playlist trough my earphones.

I hum to the song Crazy. "Can you make your mind up cause it's driving me crazy" I softly sing. I get to the diner, greeting the chef, my boss. "Good, there's a few customers who just walked in before you did" I nod while I wrap the apron around my waist. I grab my notebook and pen and go over to them.
