I set up all my clothes and other stuff that I don't need anymore on our frontyard.
I gotta admit, it's hard for me to sell these things. They remind me of all the things I did with my life. But I need to do this. I need to see Justin.
My first costomer came. She was looking at the first lamp I had when I was around 7 or 9 years old. It was pink with cute teddy bears on it.
"Excuse me, miss.. How much is this lamp ??" She asked.
I put prizes on the clothes but I forgot to prize the things.
"I don't know, ma'am.. how much does a lamp cost in a store ??" I asked back. I have no idea how to make prizes on these things -__-
"I'll buy it for 1 dollar." She responded.
The heck ?? A dollar ?? -_-
Well.. A dollar is better than nothing, right ??
"Okay, ma'am. I'll sell it to you for a dollar."
She gave me the dollar. I became slightly sad,knowing that the lamp is not mine anymore.
People came and buy something from me. I thought I had enough money for JB's concert..
When noon came, I closed down the sale then gathered the money I earned from the garage/yard sale.
20 dollars was all I earned from all the things I sold. Mom said 20 dollars wouldn't be enough for a ticket so I had to do something else to make money. I have to w-work.
Since it's only saturday, there's still tomorrow. I'll find a job tomorrow.. I hope..

I woke up then fixed myself. I went outside then rode a bus. A couple of people threw up and three of them had stinky armpits.. I can tell because I'm standing up with them and their arms were raised.
I went to the city. There's a lot of Help Wanted signs round here so I had to think first.. What job do I want ??
I headed to an ice cream shop then spoke with the manager. She said I could start today and she'll pay me 30 everyday depending on my performance.
She gave me an over-sized shirt and an appron.
Some snotty kids came in then said "I want to buy some ice cream, please.." a little boy said.
"Well, duuuuhh.. We only sell ice cream, ya know. You can just say what flavor you want." I replied. I thing that was a bit mean ????....
The little boy frowned."okay.. Can I have some chocolate ice cream, please ??" He said politely.
I was about to scoop some ice cream.. when I realized that there are two brown ice creams. I think one of them is coffee..
Oh, well.. I'll just scoop the one on the left.
I gave the ice cream cone to the kid then he payed me.
The manager came in then said "I forgot to tell you that those brown ice creams are in a different flavor. The right one is chocolate and the left one is coffee. I fired the other imployies because they gave coffee instead of Chocolate." Then she put some label on the ice creams so I wouldn't be confused.
The kid went out of the shop then I can see him through the window. He took a lick then I laughed with his reaction.
The kid went inside "This ice cream taste bitter !!!!" He screamed. Unfortunately, my boss is still in the room.
"You gave the kid a coffee flavored ice cream.." she said in range.
"W-.. B-but I didn't know.. I'm new here and you didn't tell me which is which.. and who eats coffee ice cream anyway ?? I mean, coffee is bitter and what idiot thinks people or kids would actually eat these ??" I explained.
I didn't realize that my words came out wrong and kids are infront of me..
She pulled me in some room around the shop then said "If you wanna keep this job, you have to at least respect the way I run things around here." Wwwooaahh.. Look at the size of her nose when she's angry. I silently laughed.. All I can hear now is 'blah blah blah' while I look at her face and laugh.
When I was done serving the kids, I took a seat then looked at the ice creams..
I took a spoon then scooped all the ice cream I wanted..
I didn't know that I weren't supposed to eat it..
"What are you doing ??!! You're an employee you're not supposed to eat these !!" My boss said in anger.. again :3
"Well.. The ice cream was calling me.. they said 'Eat us, Kiana.. Eat us!!' And I cannot resist that.. I mean look.." I took another spoon then scooped up some cookies and cream ice cream.
"There is no eating the Ice--" Before she could finish her sentence, I shoved the ice cream into her mouth.
"Mmmmhh.. This taste great.. Maybe I can eat a few more ??"
Now she's on my side. We ate the ice cream untill we were all out. She got mad (again) then fired me around 7 pm.. So I can't go and find another job till tomorrow or next week because I still have school tomorrow.
She gave me 10 cents. She said I ate all the ice cream anyway like what the fuck.. she ate 90% of the ice cream we were selling.
I went home and dad was already there. We all sat infront of the dinning table.
"So did you find any job, honey ??" Dad asked while eating the steak.
"Yeaahh.. But I got fired." I said.
I looked at my dad with a big smile on my face. Then started to act like a kid. I need to look cute so dad would give me money for the Ticket.
"Daddyyy !!" I said in a baby's voice.
"Oh god.." I heard him whisper. "Kiana, if you want money, go amd find a new job or something. You're already 16 years old and you can sell some stuff that you don't need anymore. He continued.
"But that's exactly what I just did earlier !! All I earned is 20 dollars and 10 cents !! Please, dad !!"
"No, Kiana. I'm sorry.. maybe next time, sweety. Besides, even though you meet Justin, you're just gonna be disappointed. He's not going to fall in love with you because he's 20 and you're 16."
"Wooow.." I said while tears started to build up my eyes. Do you know how much it hurt to hear him say that. He know that I love Justin so much but it's like he doesn't even care. All I'm asking is a bit of his money so I can finally see Justin perform and meet him. All he did was make me face the fucking reality.
I stood up then went to my room and locked it.
When I'm upsset, I stay in my room. I like to be alone and away from shit every once in a while.
Yo !! I know somehow, you feel like Kiana too and have parents who discourages you to love Justin. Hold on. Everything's gonna be alright and no matter what happens you should be strong. Someday you're gonna meet Justin.. Someday..
