 Catras POV

I got a text from Scorpia that her and Entrapta needed to head back to work. I decided to head back to my apartment, it wasn't the biggest or the fanciest. Not even close, but it was functional. You see im a orphan, i never really knew my parents...all i remember were these two big, beautiful blue eyes starring at me before placing me on the door step of the orphanage. Since i was only two when i was left there, the orphanage was basically my home, im guessing i never got adopted cause of my heterochromia. (mismatched eyes) Plus the orphanage i was left at wasn't the greatest. We nicknamed it "The fright Zone" i still laugh at the name, the kids were nice there but everyone was eventually adopted or moved to a foster home. Me, i got too old to stay and had to move out. But i was given money for two things 1) College for one year. 2) Money for a apartment, im almost done college and im almost out of money. I've tried getting a job but no one would hire me. But thats all in the past. I realised i arrived at my apartment. I took out my keys and unlocked the door. As soon as i got inside i took off my shoes and collapsed onto the couch, Scrolling through the TV channels. After about a hour of watching Avatar: The last airbender, i heard a knock on the door. I look through the peep hole to see, the one and only Ms.Weaver. The queen of cranky herself and the owner of the building. i open the door to see her staring straight into my eyes. "Do you, need something?" i say sarcastically. " In fact i do, you haven't paid your bills in the last two months." She said more upset then usual. Like i said the money i got to start me off, was to start me off and i dont have a job so money is tight. " i-i know but-" I was cut off by Ms.Weaver stating. "If you dont get both your bills paid by next week ill have no choice to evict you." "WHAT?!" I cant get evicted, ill have to live on the streets... i notice Ms.Weavers Cold heartless eyes staring at me till i reluctantly nod and shut the door sliding down it groaning too myself.

Its been 3 days since Ms.Weaver told me the news. I have no clue what to do, i decided i needed to clear my head but before i could do anything a flyer flew through the letter hole. Madame Razzs coffee house is now hiring. Come down this Friday to 367 bright moon drive for a interview at anywhere between 3pm - 6pm. i was saved, i cant believe it. I jumped in the air and marked it on my calendar.If i can nail this interview, i wont lose my apartment! I spent the next 5 days preparing day and night, studying all about different types of coffee, how to brew coffee and what to say. Then the day came. I snatched my phone and keys off the counter top and sprinted strait out the door. I made it to the shop and i started slowing down so i didn't seem crazy and sat down on a bench since i still had a bit of time until they started interviewing people. It finally turned 3pm, i walked up too the door taking a deep breath then entering the shop.
