"Wake up beautiful! Wake up beautiful!"
Hailey annoyingly stopped her alarm and would have slammed her phone on the wall in the next minute but stopped midway after she remembered how expensive it was. If not only for her online classes, she would never succumb to buy such an expensive phone which had nearly cost all her savings.
She groggily stood up and made her way towards her small bathroom and did a quick shower.
It's past 9 in the evening and she's only got 2 hours of sleep after attending her classes, but she needs to get up because she still has to go to work. This has been her daily routine, she has to attend live and online classes during the day and work at night.
Being an orphan really sucks, she thought.

"Lizzy, be good while I'm not home, okay? I'm gonna buy you some treats when I get back."
She lovingly petted her 5-month old Pit bull which she adopted from a local shelter.
The first time she met her, she knew exactly that they would make a great match. It was one rainy morning when she strolled the downtown to relax a bit after her tiring shift. She passed by a local shelter and it seemed like there was some force which made her stride inside.. and that's where she met Lizzy. She was on a corner and the kennel person told her that no one wanted her because of her breed. That broke her heart, she was reminded of herself and hastily made a decision to adopt the poor baby right there and then. She even begged the landlord so that he would let Lizzy to live with her in her apartment.
She quickly prepared for work and braced herself for another exhausting shift. Surely, she would suffer another bunch of earful sessions from her customers. If only she don't have her bills to pay, she would have quit from her job a long time ago. Being a customer service representative is no joke.
Her phone suddenly beeped. It was a message saying that the Lyft driver is on his way. A car with a Lyft emblem suddenly stopped across her, thinking that it was the ride she booked, she quickly ran and went inside the car.
However, she didn't expect what came next..
