Claire's POV.
"Am sorry but we can't hire you." The woman with red bright lips tells me.
"But why ma'am. Please reconsider I can......."
"Am sorry but we can't just hire you. Please you would have to leave now." She said as she blew her bubble gum.
Sad and angry again I walked out of the restaurant.
This is the sixth place I have been to trying to find a job. First, I went to a cafe but was rejected. I then went to a book store was also turned down. Then a grocery store, a toy shop, a salon but I wasn't rejected rather the stupid horny owner asked me for a little 'fun' in exchange for the job. How disgusting! He didn't even mind that I was a minor.
Well here I am at a restaurant being rejected again.I know you are wondering why am looking for a job. It's not that my mom doesn't have money but that I want to get her a birthday gift with my own money. And hungry me has been unable to save my allowance so am partially broke.
"Ugh!! What do I do?!" I shout out to no one in particular which brought me a lot of stares.
Well am starving from all this job hunt I need to eat. It's past my snack time. It's almost 12:30!
Yeah in case you are wondering I didn't go to school today. Why? Well thankfully the school gave a day off due to the plumbing issues or something. Well I don't care just happy they wasn't school today.
I enter the closest cafe I see. Hey! No line just great.
I walked up to the barrister; "Hey!"
"Well hello cupcakes, what can get you?"
"Emm I'll take a 2 King size chocolate milk shake, half a dozen chocolate glazed donut with sprinkles on top, a slice of chocolate pizza and 3 chocolate muffins." I say with a wide grin.
"For only you?" The barista asked with his eyebrows raised.
"Yep!" I said popping the 'p'.
What?! I'm a foodie. And also chocolate freak, don't act so surprised.
"Okay, coming right up." The barrister says with a wink.
Typical boy.
I wait for my order as I fumble my phone.
"And here's for the pretty girl...." He says as he hands over my order.
"Thanks.. Wait, do you happen to know they is any job available here?" I asked as I collect my order.
"Oh no. Not really. But you can check the internet. I bet you will find one." He said with a smile.
"Yeah I didn't think of that. Thanks alot." I say with a wide smile.
"Anytime."
I smile lastly as i walk to an empty table and put my order on the table. I drop my bag pack on the ground and take out my laptop. I take a sip of my first milk shake and start eating my donuts. Mmmm such delight.
I opened my laptop and entered Google."So nowf let's jop hunt." I say to my self in between bites of my pizza.
I searched for job available around me.
"Let's see; a waitress, nah."
A barrister, nahh. A bartender, nop! A store keeper, hmm. A baby sitter, a chef, ha!, a tutor, a filling station attendant blah, blah, blah."Wait a tutor. I could do that. And it's not far from here. Wait let me check the subject. Korean language!" I scream in excitement which brought alot of stares.
