Lost ~ A KOTLC Story

Part 2

*Keefe*

My charm finally paid off. Not everyone is keen enough to appreciate The Keefester, but finally I found someone who does. And it's got me a manager position at ExPresso shots.

I don't get full rights of the title yet, but I'm better off than Tam who's stuck making coffees and other drinks for some seriously annoying customers.

He keeps them satisfied for the most part, which makes my job a lot easier. I get to sit in the back and relax for the most part, which of course I certainly do. I bought a very comfortable seat with my first paycheck and a month's supply of toothpicks.

But getting any job without at least some experience is hard so I guess we're lucky to be employed.

That's what my Dad keeps reminding me anyway. He was minorly impressed when he learned I got a promotion so swiftly, but nothing I do keeps him content for long.

*Sophie*

My parent's- Grady and Edaline- say I need to be employed. No more sitting around and moping for me.

And I guess they're right. This new chapter of my life isn't closing any time soon, so I guess I have to just get with the program.

I open up a browser page and search for job openings in San Diego. Right off the bat, I see I'm unqualified for most jobs. Unfortunately.

However, one thing catches my attention. Dog walking. I shudder. I remember when I met Gethen for the first time when he tried to get me to go to his sister's house with him. I'm lucky Mr. Forkle saved me.

I fill out a basic application and send it in.

Now I wait.
