I fall back and hold my head. For a minute everything is spinning around. "what the-"I feel dizzy.
"I'm so so sorry!..." a random guy looks down at me.

He reaches down and smiles innocently. He's charming and tall. His hair is a hazelnut brown and his eyes are crystal green. His skin is gentle and his smile is so innocent.

"Are you okay? Here take my hand." I look for a minute in his eyes and get back to reality. I take his hand and stand on my feet again.

"Look where you are going..."I brush the dust off my dress and sigh.

"No, you watch where you're going. It's not my fault you're so caught up in your thoughts..." He's no longer smiling.
"I was NOT!" I yell. He shakes his head and lifts the box. His eyes get big.

"Shit! the pastries! My boss is going to kill me! What is wrong with you?" He looks down in the box confused.
"What do you mean? it's not my fault." My cheeks turn red.

He looks down at me with a big rage. "It's your fault if I get fired!!" He bumps his shoulder into mine and grunts.

"I hope you do!" I yell after him but he walks away and doesn't look back.
Loser...

"Goodmorning everyone!" Sara just walked into the meeting room and she's in a good mood. But I know for a fact that her mood is going to change in seconds because her ex-husband, Micheal, just walked into the office.
Sara looks clueless at me but I don't have a clue either. I close my notebook and walk out of the room. I'm greeted by Micheal's assistant, ugh Thomas. I've known Thomas for a long time and trust me we DO NOT like each other.
"Isa" He sighs.

I look at Micheal for a second and look back at Thomas. "Thomas" I smile big... and fake.
"Can I help you?" I say with an petty tone. I look down at Micheal's working folder and look op at Thomas and make a grimace. "Is Sara in the office?" Micheal looks around searching for Sara.

"yes, yes I am." Sara appears. "Why are you here, interrupting my meeting?" oh no, I can tell this day is going to end bad. "Can we sit down somewhere, or at least talk in another room?" Thomas sighs "it's important..." Sara grunts and Micheal's smiley face instantly turns to a cold look.

"Look Thomas, if it is absolutely that important, then follow me." I point to the meeting room next to Sara's office. "Yeah, whatever..."Sara mutters.

We get to the room, and Sara just stays standing up. "Look I don't have the whole day, so tell me, what is so important." Sara stares coldly into his eyes. "Sit down and get comfortable. It might take a while." Thomas looks down at the papers and looks back at me. He rolls his eyes and points at the chair. "Please."

Thomas hands Sara the papers and her eyes open up. "You want WHAT from me?" Her face turns red and she starts to shake her head. "Want what from you?" I take the papers out of her hands and look down. Are you kidding me? "Are you seriously asking her permission for THIS?" I point hard with my fingers on the papers.
"No, you can't!! You can't sell the house!" Sara yells at Michael. Omg please don't cry.
"Sara just lis-" Micheal tries to hold her hand but she rejects him. "I grew up in that house! My grandfather build it from scratch!"
She looks at Micheal with so much anger. "Just think about it! We don't live there anymore." Micheal hands me a paper. "She just needs to sign this..." I look confused at him. "What?" Tears start to appear in Sara's eyes. "Sara-" Micheal sighs and look down at his hands on his knees.
"NO! NO way!.." She gets up and pushes the chair hard so it hits the window.
I follow her and Thomas follows me. "Isa, take this." He hands me the paper. "No, Thomas. If she doesn't want to then I can't say much. I'm sorry but..." I turn around for second but then my stupid self turns back around and grabs the papers out of his hands.
"Leave."
