Walking into the room, sophia threw her things on the bed and went to take a shower, the day was a bit stressful, she wondered what tomorrow will be like.
With a towel tied loosely around her chest and a towel wrapped around her hair, she walked out of the bathroom.
Stretching out to get her pajamas, her phone started ringing, she casually looked over, and could already guess who was calling, she put her phone on the table in a stable position and accepted the video call.
A loud voice could be heard as sophia pulled her pajamas
Soph baby, c'mon tell your big sis everything, how's the place?
Pulling the chair, sophia sat down and watched her friend, smile over the moon.
Wow kylie, you have new pet names for me everytime you call.
C'mon tell me everything don't miss any detail
It wasn't bad, today was just for introductions, and they told me the rules, blah blah blah........
Kylie rolled her eyes, make sure you tell me about everything when you get back tomorrow okay!
Oh! Soph I have a request.
Okay go ahead, sophia said as she wiped her hair with the towel.
emm.....can you come over this weekend? There's a collection that I'd like us to try together, so pls come.
I'll inform my parents! You talked about a collection.
Collection of what? Can you pls explain better, I don't understand
Don't worry about that soph, just inform your parents, when you come, you'll know what I'm talking about.
Okay keep the secret, let's talk tomorrow, I have to go early, Sophia yawned as she hung up.
She quickly prepared everything she'll need, she even sat an alarm. She didn't even think of being late as a new apprentice, so everything was set for the next day.
She was supposed to go down for dinner, but the bed looked so comfy, lemme just rest a bit, I'll go down in a while, she quickly fell asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow.
Mrs sonia called out but to no avail, she was a little worried, cuz she wasn't sure, if she had eaten all day.
She just let her be, for today, so she could rest and get up early tomorrow.
Beep, beep, beep....
The alarm rang for a while before, sophia turned it off. She took a shower and got dressed quickly, she rushed down, and prepared a little cereal.
******
Sophia arrived by 7:00, she helped to clean the shop and put everything in order, everyone seemed nice.
Chief came a bit late, sophia was assigned to him.
Every hair stylist, had an apprentice assigned to them, but the apprentice could learn under any stylist when they had customers, and the stylist could give tasks, to any apprentice and could also send them on errands.
Sophia was given some products and a dummy for practice, she could also take it home to learn, since her mom already paid for it.
Alex was told to take sophia to all the shops where they bought hair products, and introduce her to all the workers there, so that she'd be recognized when she goes by herself.
They got to the first shop and Alex introduced sophia to madam k. Sophia greeted her and noticed that she was very friendly, when she came out, she noticed that madam k was very big, everything about her was big.
Geez! How's this possible, what does she eat, sophia stared at madam k, all the while they were there.
On to the next shop, alex introduced sophia to wiz, he was tall, fair and not bad looking, she could tell he loved hip-hop based on his outfit. He wore a face cap backwards, with a ripped jean and a sleeveless shirt, he wore a lot of chains and had many piercings.
wiz was very friendly and flirty since his customers were mainly women, looking closely, sophia could tell he wasn't so casual, no matter how free and easy going, he appeared to be, his business was his top priority.
They visited two more shops and sophia was introduced as the new apprentice. Then they returned to the shop.
Sophia observed how to wash the customers hair first, she would always stand close and watch closely, then she'll hand them a towel.
She was also taught how to mix the shampoo and conditioner, since they were bought in large quantities, it was mixed with other hair products and poured into smaller containers.
When it was break time she went to the back to rest, she closed her eyes and rested her head on the wall. The sunlight slightly shone on her revealing a fair beautiful face.
Coming out of the barbing salon, Josh was greeted with this sight, he stared at the pretty girl and wondered who she was.
Sophia was called so she quickly went back into the shop, Josh was fixed on the spot, he wanted to talk to her but she had already gone in.
Then he heard the door open and quickly tilted his head to see, if she'd come out again.
Instead it was Trish that came out, he was disappointed, but he still decided to ask her.
The shops downstairs had a back yard and it was open to everyone in the plaza, there was just a little distance between them.
Hey Trish!
Trish turned and saw him, she sneered, what do you want?
Em... Is there a new apprentice in your shop?
Trish squinted her eyes and answered, yeah! Is there a problem?
Oh not at all, eh... What's her name? She's pretty.
Don't even think about it, you're not her type. Trish replied as she looked at Josh seriously.
Josh was dark, average height and looks, with beards. he worked in the barbers shop and was kinda friendly.
Trish didn't know sophia that well yet but she could tell her standard was high, she always has a nonchalant attitude, and most times when they discuss about certain things, she'd just raise her eyebrow and smirk.
Trish didn't like talking when she was around so she just told him, so he won't get his hopes high. Then she remembered what she came out for, she took it and quickly went inside.
Josh clearly didn't believe her and still decided to give it a try.
