Harley Ricks is just a 22 year girl trying to make it in life. Coming from a rough past, growing up in a small town in Georgia with a drug addicted mom and a alcoholic father. She landed a new job at a local diner called Side Track. Thinking she cou...
Well today is the day, I start my new job at the diner The Side Track. I pull the covers off of me and make my way to the bathroom down the hall. Quickly i open the door to the bathroom so I dont wake my father up. My father is a bad alcholic, he has been that way since he came home from doing 20 years in the USMC.
I walked in to the bathroom and locked the door. Looking myself over in the mirror, hating what I see. My shoulder leight brown hair and brown eyes. Its no wonder why I havent met anyone yet, im ugly. Stripping my clothes off I hop in the shower, total is 10 mins to do everything that needs to be done. Cant really take any longer or my dad will be pissed cause the water bill went up.
I cant wait til I can leave this hell hole. Making it back to my room, I closed and locked the door and went over to m closet. What do you wear on the first day of work? I picked out a black spaghetti strap top with some jeans and my converses. Grabing everything I need and ran out the front door. Jumping in to my hunk of car and driving off to work. It takes me a total of 10 mins to get to work.
I walk in and seen a girl standing behind the counter, she has long blonde hair and the most bluest eyes I have ever seen. She was straight up beautiful, why cant I be that beautiful?
"Hi, welcome to the Side Track, my name is Jenna, how can I help you?" she said.
"Im here to see Randy, im the new girl" I told her.
" Oh, you must be Harley? Its nice to meet you. Give me one moment and I'll get him for you." she replied
" Ok thank you so much, and it was nice meeting you to." I told her. She seemed really nice.
As im waiting on her return, im finally able to get a look at this place.

Its warming and welcoming. The inside is like i have stepped back in time, from the checker flooring to the lighting hanging from the ceiling. I think I will love it here. The other employees are friendly and welcoming.
"Ah, Ms, Ricks how are you doing today?" a tall man asked me.
"Im doing good, thank you for asking, im assuming you are Mr. Randy?" I said as I held out my hand.
"I am and please just call me Randy." He said while shaking my hand. " You from 1pm til 1am, Monday thru Saturday, off on sunday. Your uniform is in you locker waiting for you. If you have any questions please feel free to ask me or Jenna." He said as he went to answer the phone.
I think I will love working here, and at least I wont have to deal with my parents all weekend. Things are really looking up for me. Now all I have to do is save up my paychecks so I can get out of this small town.
