Broken Desires

Not me waking up to the sound of loud music again!!!! Hey keep it down,you assholes!! I screamed from my room knowing full well no one was going to listen to me. I looked at the wall clock, it was still early. I could catch some minutes of sleep before heading to school if only those boys would just turn that damn music off. I am Lila,a college student,and I live alone since it's boarding school,mama said to stay here instead of the school's dorm claiming I'd be free hear,but she had forgotten to tell me I wasn't going to be able to sleep,I glanced at the clock once again, I think I have to start getting ready it's already 4:am.I got out of bed and went into the bathroom to do my morning rituals,after taking a good bath,I went out to get some clothes from the walk in closet in my apartment, I picked a skirt that stopped right above my knees and paired it with a white club top. I got myself a simple breakfast of toasted bread and a glass of milk. It was already 6:30 am so I didn't wait any longer.I packed a few books into my backpack,put on my sets before leaving the noisy house. I arrived at school before the bell rang. It's my first day in school after coming to this city. I want to be a "good girl" in this school.I don't want mama dragging me outta here too. "First lesson starts in five minutes, students should be in their class rooms ". Announced the bell. I checked my time table and headed for my class. "Meet the new student,Lila Roshandra Orlando”, said the teacher to my class mates. “Hi, you're welcome to our class”chorused the students. I just nodded my head to them and looked back at the teacher.”Sit beside Matt,the blonde guy there”,he said pointing to a male colleague with a blond hair and I thanked him and headed to my seat.I paid attention to the teacher and made sure to jot down a few notes to revise. I left the school right after the closing bell rang,I had to go hunt for part time jobs, though mama sends me money,I still have to start earning on my own.I began walking down the streets about half an hour later I found myself in front of “Melanie’s Sweet spot”,a bakery a few kilometers from my school. I can only start working here be because I'm not yet a graduate. I made my way towards the shop,I pray I get employed. “Hey, sweetie what brings you here” asked an old looking woman I guess she's the owner of this bakery “I'm here to ask if there's any space,I want to work part-time”.I told her “Oh, you're here at the right time dear,I need a few waiters hear,or would you like to help in baking?”asked the old woman “I would love to help in baking,ma”,I replied Good, follow me, I'll introduce you to the others, what's your name again dear,”she asked “Lila,ma” “Nice name,please stop calling me ma, I'm not that old”she said with and laughed a little.I smiled awkwardly,not knowing what to say, she's clearly that old,I guess she loved to live young. “Call me, Perry instead”.she said with a warm smile . She took me inside and introduced me to the workers in there,and the all welcomed me with bright smiles. "Work hard girl",she had mouthed to me before leaving the space.I took one of the aprons from the hang and tied it around my neck and got to work. After hours of smiling and serving customers,it was finally time to clock out, it's 8 already, that's our closing time.I waved my friends good bye after exiting the store and walked down the street after nearly two minutes of walking,a cab finally showed up and I waved it down to a stop,I gave my address to the driver and made myself comfortable in the back seat looking outside the window.
