I slept early last night so i'm definitely up, it's pretty early,  I checked the clock hanging on the wall, it showed six in the morning.

I stretched for a bit, and yeah you are wondering what I'm doing so early in the morning when I don't even have a job or any other thing to do, to answer your thoughts, today is the day I'm finally going to leave my home town and for sure it sucks big time.

I got up, went to the bathroom, did all my morning rituals, by the time I was done it was 6:50am, so I'm spared I still have two more hours to spend here.

I sat on my dressing table and started blowing my hair, my hair are  naturally black, silky, wavy hair, I blowed for a couple of minutes, when I done, switched off the blower and started dressing up.

Today felt like keeping my dressing casual, I wore a royal blue faded shirt, I paired it with black ripped jeans which hugged my figure well, I tied my hair in a bun slipped on my flip_flops.
         I headed and found my aunt cooking, it's obviously her favorite place in the entire house. Morning I chirped, she turned around acknowledging my presence for the first time since I step in the kitchen, morning darling she greeted back, she turned and switched off the gas, she took out two plates from the cupboard and piled them with half a dozen of pancakes in each, as she was preparing the rest of the cutlery, I went to the fridge and took out two syrups, chocolate and strawberry, I settled them on the table,I took my seat and aunt vernessa took the  seat next to mine.
           We started eating, omg I moaned mouth fully, the pancakes aunt vernessa makes are to die for, she looked at me and smiled sadly, what's wrong? I asked, nothing sweetie she murmured, she stood up and headed to her bedroom.
         Confused and curiosity eating me alive I went to her room, wondering why she's suddenly sad, she was always the cheerful one among the two of us, shaking off my thoughts I knocked the door, a faint come in was heard from the other side, I took that as my clue to enter.
        She was sitting on her bed, her head sunk deep in the pillow, a soft sniffling come from her direction and I concluded she was crying. I shook her, she turned to look at me with puffy eyes, what's wrong? I asked she just shook her head and couldn't meet my gaze, "you can tell me anything, you know that" I cooed.
       I don't like the idea of you leaving me behind Emma she said, I engulfed her in a bear hug, I'm sorry, I promise I'm going to try and visit you immediately I get my first paycheck. Okay, okay go grab your suitcase I'm going to wait for used outside kiddo.
     We reached the airport about 30 minutes later, I unbuckled my seatbelt and hopped out of the car, I hugged aunty vernessa goodbye after promising to call her everyday.
       
1 hour later
We all  board the plane, "buckle your seat belts" the plane is about to take off the air hostess announced. The trip was mostly boring, I spent all the six hours nine minutes sleeping and reading.

6

hours later

        "Buckle your seat belts" the plane is about to land the air hostess announced. The plane landed and we started coming out one by one, the immigration officer checked my passport, he nodded and gave it back.
           I came out using the main gates, I called a cab, the cab came within ten minutes, take me to the nearest motel, ok maam he answered. 
         The motel was really in a good shape I wasn't expecting that, I went to the recipient, she smiled politely  and asked how she may help me, a room for one please, she typed away on her computer, she looked back at me, "its going to be 75 dollars per night" she said, here I handed her the amount, she gave me the keys, first room on the second floor she said, have a good stay she said politely.
           I took the elevator and pressed the second floor, ding, indicating that I reached my destination, I opened the door and went inside the room, it was painted faintly with a shade of cream, there was a double sized bed in the middle of the room, and a single night stand by the side.
        I took out my laptop and started to check on the job offers. Half and hour later I found about six job offers, I checked my wrist watch it said 3pm, I went outside the room I locked the door and stuffed the keys in my purse.
     I hailed a cab and gave him the address of the places I wrote down. We reached the first place I went inside and handed my identity to the recipient, she took Me to the interview room, were an elderly man sat on a huge chair behind an oak table, he nodded at the woman giving her permission to leave, okay sir she said putting my identity on his desk. What's your profession?  young lady the elderly man asked, I have a degree for arts and design sir, do you have any job experience?  Miss..  glancing at my papers, Miss Jones he asked, no I answered, hmmmm he hummed to himself, okay you are hired but you will work as a trainee he said, okay sir I answered appreciate fully, you are dismissed Miss Jones he said I stood up took my papers and left gladly, finally I won't be a depend on someone  I thought to myself.
I decided to walk back to the motel, I stopped by a fast food and ordered chicken wings take out, I got my order and got to my room I ate my chicken wings happily, I showered and plopped on the bed, I drifted away to sleep with one thought in my mind I'm finally a independent woman who's not a burden to anyone.....
