1311 Words
"Hey j you seem exhausted today, you okay?" My friend/daily costumer Mike says arriving at the bar "I'm good Mike just exhausted from school" I respond with a smile Sometimes I wonder why Mike hangout here at night enchantment club. I don't mean that in a bad way night enchantment is pretty cool but with Mike's status he can drink at a more expensive bar but I'm greatful either way at least with him around I know I'm safe “You want some help with anything, you know I'm always here right” Mike says eyeing me seriously. He is like one of my only true friend and family don't get me wrong I do have a family but no one can compare to Mike and of course cat. "I know Mike don't worry yourself too much I'm good" I respond smiling "so the usual* I ask Mike preparing his usual drink "Yes ma'am" Mike says with his signature grin which would make any girl's heart beat fast I hand him his drink as some other customer orders a bottle of Scotch I serve them and continuing chatting with Mike. My shift is usually from 9:30pm in the evening until 12pm I don't get paid much but it's still enough for me to buy what I need plus my weekly allowance. I would get paid more if I where to become an escort but no thanks I'm saving myself for my future husband. Tonight it's a full house so I leave Mike to attend to other customers. I don't really enjoy this job but what we do for the living. I plan to move out of my house when I turn 18. Having no mother to take care of you is hard and my father is always busy with work and rarely comes home. My stepmom doesn't like me that much so it's best I stop being a thorn in her life. I really don't hurt her I just wish she would be a bit nicer. "Huh um sorry sir what were you saying" I didn't even realize I zoned out until he snapped his finger in front of me. After that mishap I concentrate on my job until it's time to go home. As usual Mike escorts me home whilst telling me funny stories. Mike is the third son of Mr brown the third richest person in X city. After reaching home I bid Mike farewell and enter my house through the window the same way I got out After taking a shower and changing into my pink nightwear I lie on my bed looking at a picture of me, my mom and dad when I was around five years. Things were much better back then it was simple yet blissful. Everything was perfect I miss having piggy back ride on my father's back with mom cooking in the kitchen shouting at me and dad to behave. Now I'm almost 18 years. I work as a bartender at night enchantment club, I don't really have many friends but that's okay I don't really like people. I don't hurt people it's just I prefer when there not near me. Mike is always teasing me about that saying how can I be a good doctor if I don't like the same people I'll be treating in the future. My only focus is self improvement I just want to be a great doctor in the future. I'll be done with my highschool in a few weeks and I'm very excited about it I can't wait to be a doctor. I'm sure my mom would be proud of the woman I have become too bad she left way to early. My mom died when I was ten years old since then I've been raised by my stepmom. My father is always busy with work so I used to remain with my stepmom venassa and my step sister Whitney. I wonder maybe if my mom was still arrive we would have been a happy family but she died too early due to a terminal illness I don't really remember ever seeing her sick but I miss her every day. Mom if you can hear me I really miss you I wish I can join you but I know you have gone to a place I can't reach I say out loud missing my mom even more. Only if she didn't get that illness maybe my mom would still be alive but I can't just sit sulking around. I'm pretty sure she is proud of the type of woman I have become. When I remember how stepmom and Whitney interact makes me wonder if that's how me and mom would be acting. I wish she was here, she would have taught me everything about being a girl but she has moved on to another realm. I didn't even realize I was crying until now. Jesus Christ when am I going to get over the past. I should really forget everything and just go to sleep tomorrow I have a class at 08am in the morning. I put my phone down and pull the cover over my body going to sleep, I didn't even know how exhausted I was cause within minutes I fell asleep. I wake up at exactly 5am and start cleaning the house and preparing food. after I finish I start getting ready. I don't want Cathy to yell at me for being late. I decide to quickly get ready I'm not in the mood for bumping into my so called sister or stepmom . I really don't get why she hurts me so much she has everything while I have nothing but that still don't satisfy her. I only have half an hour left before class starts and today the examiner is Mrs Smith she is very strict I don't want to get embarrassed in front of the entire class. I strip my clothes then get my towel going to bathroom room. I turn the water on and the first thing I do is scream due to how cold the water is I forgot to turn the heater on so cold water it is. After getting used to the water I get my rose shampoo and wash my hair while humming slowly to pretty girl by Maggie Lindeman . I love the smell of my shampoo it smells like roses reminds me of an open rose garden. After washing my hair and i wash my body using my favorite flower soap. I come out of the shower I dry myself then put on some body lotion and decide to wear a baby pink off shoulder top with a high waist jeans I finish by putting some nude color lipstick and black eyeliner to make my green eyes pop out I finally apply my favorite rose scented perfume. And I'm ready for school just as usual Cathy sends a text saying she is waiting outside. It only takes ten minutes to move from my home area to our school so I an extra ten minutes before class starts. we arrive at school at exactly 07:50 I go straight to my class but before I can enter my class room my dear sister stops me note the scarsam . I don't know whether to run or kill myself my sister and her minions being nice to me what the heck is going on maybe the sun has risen from the west today this seems to good to be true. I smell a conspiracy here . I decide not to think about it and just concentrate on my studies this week we are writing the end of semester exams then we'll finally be done with high school and if I fail I will have to repeat the year and I can't afford that not all. ……
