chapter 4: first day,new job

Next day

So I woke up and I got dressed into my black. Skinny jeans, my black flats, and my bvb shirt, with my black jacket. I straightened my hair and did my makeup with black and red eye shadow. And I put pale lipstick on. It looked kind of cute, but I grabbed my purse and keys, and I told ghost, " hey kitty, come here, so I have to go to work. Please be good, do not destroy the house. I love you." I set here down and I grabbed a monster from the fridge, and went to the car. When I got down to the lobby the secretary lady said, " ms.ward, you have a message from chuck."

She was addressing that from my dad. So I went to her and she gave me a small package, and I said, " thank you." I walked over to the side and sat down on the bench, and I red the card first it said, " Haley I love you and be careful. And try to visit. But I knew how much and even though you mom and you fought I knew you still love her so here you go. Love you, dad"

I smiled and emptied the package, and the keys to mom's car were in the package. I felt a tear fall, so I still miss her but I didn't think that dad would go through with this. But I was happy and grateful. But I smiled and went to my car. And I saw it and I don't know why but I think my inner teen screamed, and ran to the car. But I got in and I was very happy. This car just reminds me of my mom.

And this is another reason why I wanted to come to California. Because I wanted to make my mom proud of me. And I know that me and her never saw eye to eye. But I still do love her to death. But I drove to work. And I will say this. I am kind of nervous.

But after a while I got there and walked in. I saw the same guy from yesterday and another person, that I didn't know who it was. But I didn't catch his name yesterday. But I walked over and he caught my attention, " oh, hi Haley. This is the new girl I hired yesterday." I saw the one guy look me up and down, " you sure about her?" He spoke and I felt conceded. And hurt a little. But the other said, " yes, she is perfect. But we are opening soon so Haley, this is the owner and also my best friend. His name is Justin. And mine is Christian." I nodded and I was still a little curious so I asked, " Justin right? I was wondering if you were out last night I think we met last night."

He then said, " yeah, sorry. Just I didn't recognize you at first. But we open if three minutes so I am gonna open the doors." I nodded okay and Christian told me, " okay Haley, you are cashregister duty today, and don't worry the machine adds it up. So you will be okay." I nodded and I felt a little relief. I was never good in math or any subject of that. But I did know simple math.

So we opened up and the day went by pretty slow, and after a few hours Christian told me, " hey Haley if you want you can go on break. But if you do let either me, Cindy, or Justin know." I nodded okay, " okay I think I am in a moment. I might go get a pretzel, would you like anything?" He shook his head no. And I replied, " okay well I am going to keep my phone on me call if you need anything."

He nodded okay and I grabbed my phone and purse and went to the nearest pretzel stand. So I finally found one and I saw the line and I thought never mind. So I went back to the store.

So a few hours went by and Justin asked me, "hey Haley." I replied, " hi, Justin what can I do?" He asked, " you should go to the I would think talent show next wednesday." I was shocked, I just got here, only two days ago and I don't know if I have any time. But I replied, " I don't know. I don't know when or how much time I have. Besides I don't know where it is." I started to play with a piece of paper. And then Cindy came over. " Justin can I speak to Haley really quick." He nodded sure. And left, then Cindy said, " hi Haley. I'm Cindy, so I hear you are pretty New around here?"

I replied. " yes I got here two days ago." She sighed, " you are not gonna last, and just so you know Justin is mine. So don't even try anything. Got it?" She snapped and I growled back, " I don't even know him that well. And I don't want a stupid relationship right now. So how about you just back away." She scoffed and walked away. Great another weight to put on my shoulders. And I thought to myself. Maybe I will get my chance to shine and be heard, but I doubt it will ever happen.
