Chapter 5:The poster

The whole week has been me attending stressful lectures, doing house chaos and finding a job. Because I was running very short of pocket money and I don't wanna be a burden to anyone.

The week that consists of me hunting for a job, I got few but they mostly sound like scams and others require bigger CVs or five years work experience while I don't have even one day.

"I am travelling for two weeks, I will be back next month. Do whatever you want roam around the world freely young lady” Auntie said, arranging clothes in her suitcase.

“Is Jordan going with you?” I asked,

“ Yes silly you,do you think I should leave my kid with you?So you can starve him to death,” she said. It made me disappointed, I will be alone.

‘eeeh do I look that cruel to starve a young boy like him?’ my mind asked me.

“ Ok nice Journey” I didn't even want to ask her anything. I went to my room quickly, not even waiting for her answer .

It has been three days since my auntie travelled with her kid and the collage break is very near. Finally, during the holidays, I may have plenty of time to find a better job.

I was busy scrolling on my phone, it started to ring

“ Hello b***h”.she greeted cheerful

“Hello Kira” I greeted back. I didn't meet Kira this week, she was busy with her unfinished assignment of psychology and mostly with Mr Claus himself.

“ You have been quiet, what's wrong with you” she asked.

“ Nothing” I said

“No there is definitely something, just say it babe” she asked. I pushed myself out of the bed to take a cup of water .

I walked to the water dispenser looking for water but I met an empty container.

‘ugh’ I groaned

“ What going on you b***h” Kira asked yelling,

“ Nothing, just I am thirsty and the water container is empty. I guess I am going for water shopping”

“Don’t you dare kenzy” she yelled.

“Kenzy don't hang up on me you…….” .

’ beep beep '

.Just like that I hang up, laughing my lungs out .I forgot my financial misery for a few minutes before my stupid head yelled at me to go find water with the few bucks had left.

I went into the room changing into sweatpants and hood. I took my back crossbody bag and I put my few bucks that I was left with. I closed the front door.

I walked down the street,it felt so calm not like the usual days. I craved ice cream so much . So I decided to go to the nearby park. I saw an ice cream shop. I went by and took a chocolate ballcone . I bought one and sat on one of the park benches. Remove my crossbody bag from my body and put it down on the bench.

My mind was running so fast, thinking of multiple things. I think that is my hidden talent and maybe I might be on American got talent or break the world record as a person who can think about everything at the same time.

I took my phone out of the bag, I started to scroll on i********:, I am always an i********: girl than any other social media.

After what seemed like one hour or something, I stood up and I went to the shop's directions to buy water. When I reached the supermarket I entered I searched for water that I usually use, because I am allergic to some of the water so I had to find the good ones.

I took them to the cashier, and he checked them , before he gave me the bill . Before I took the bill I searched for money on the crossbody bag .

But I was met with emptiness .

My bag .

‘oooh God where did I left it?’ I asked myself.

The park ,

I think I left it at the park .Panic started to rise in me.

“ Please God help me, let it be there” I had silent prayer.

“ Excuse me,” I said, before running in the direction of the park, praying to God for the bag to be there safe and with the cash.

I reached the park, panting heavily because I ran . I went to the bench where I was sitting, and I was met with an empty seat.

Under the desk , empty.

around it, empty.

I started to ask people who were around if they saw anyone with the bag . After one hour I was so tired, so I just sat down on the bench.

Shoulders slumped.

Eyelids are heavy.

Face down .

I have never found myself stupid as I am today.

I sat there for a while before I slowly stood up and dragged myself to the house. I looked at the sweatpants pockets only to find one dollar.

I went back home empty handed , I started cooking before anything else . After dinner I took my phone to scroll through all the social media.

Then I found something useful.

A poster.

Librarian in search.

The poster said it needed a librarian to work in the afternoons to evenings. What caught my eyes more was a location it was near the collage, just a few blocks from collage.

Well I guess lucky is my guardian angel.
