Somewhere in New York, a very loud car alarm went off. It felt like it was coming from under her it was so loud.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

I yelled at no one in particular. I turned my head over on the single pillow on my small mattress that lay alone on the floor. If you couldn't tell my room is decorated very nicely.
Don't worry, I'm saving up to get out of this shithole and never see my parents again. I graduate in a month and I'm so desperate to get out of here. Right now my hours are very limited, although, I just turned 18 so I'm excited to be able to work more. I only have to go to 2 periods since I have met all my graduation requirements, so it works out.

Turns out my alarm wasn't supposed to set off for another 20 minutes. So, I decided to get out of bed. Crazy.
I spent some time getting ready and head off to my highschool. I was out of there quick though.
I headed back home to get ready for work. I work at a coffee shop. It's New York, so there is a coffee shop at every corner.
It's not that I live in a shitty neighborhood, I just live in the cheapest apartment in the nice neighborhood. Which is still very expensive. But, I've saved up long enough and I'm making better money to go to a nicer apartment.

It also helps to steal from your drunk parents, but we won't talk about that.

I headed into work and clocked in at exactly 4:20 lol 

I got to what I was doing as I saw some of our afternoon regulars. I have some business men and then I got some grandmas. A group of teen girls every once in a while. But, there are these two- siblings? I suppose?- that are my favorite.

I heard the bell ring right after I finished ringing up some bitchy housewife (it's funny cause she's argued with me before.)

"Hi I'll be with you in one second."

"O-oh that's fine!"

My coworker who was finishing up making a previous customers' drink nudged my side.

"Shut up!" I mouthed to her. She just gave me that annoying eyebrow thing. I rolled my eyes in response.

I took their order and watched them sit down and giggle a bit.
Soon they were out the door, ice coffees in hand and giggling.

I finished my shift at 10:30 and did my usual closing down stuff. Finally, I locked up the doors and headed home. Tomorrow's payday, I'm this closer to moving out. My scholarships aligned and I feel good. For the first time in what feels like months, I feel good.
