The alarm went off but my eyes stayed closed. I was excited, don't get me wrong. But I just couldn't get an ounce of sleep. I couldn't stop thinking about my birthday. I'm legally of age today!
I am 21! A real adult.
I have no interest in alchohol. I've already tried it. I dont need it. I guess I just like the idea that I am allowed to have it.
Oh yeah! I gotta go to work today! Again... So I need to..WAKE UP!
Shuffling to the floor I throw on my shirt, my skirt, and my name tag.
with purse in hand I rush out the door of this plain apartment and..
OH NO. I'M FALLINGGGG!!!, "Uhhha!" BOom! BaNg! SlAp!
"Mnmmh, uh."
Rubbing my throbbing knee I look up at the stair case I fell from. "I hate you." All I can hear is it's mocking laugh. like this was always my fate.
A handsome young man speaks from the door next to me, "Are you ok?!"
FEELING... BLUSHY! AND.. NERVOUS.
"Oh.. Ha. I- I'm so clumsy"
"Let me get that for you." He says as he starts gathering the pictures that spewed from my purse.
"Oh! No its fine."
The man pauses, "These are beautiful, are you a photographer?"
"Actually I'm just a cashier at Lisa's Beauty shop.. I like to take pictures of pretty things... How long have you been here?"
The man looks up, "I just moved in about a week ago." Pauses, "Wow, you have the most beautiful eyes." He grabs my chin, "You should be a model."
"Wh-" I am at a loss for words. "Heh! Is it getting hot in here?? I gotta go to work, thank you. bye!"
In my car I finally have a moment to breathe, "Why'd he do that?" I'm panicking, "Ok, just drive."
