Chapter 3 - Clarissa

Rubbing my temples, I closed my eyes and took in multiple breaths.

Another day down, multiple days to go.

I hanged my apron and picked up my bag to leave the cafe.

"Bye, Mr. Phillips. "

I glanced over to see him, drowned in the 3rd newspaper today.

"See you tomorrow, Riri."

I smiled and exited the café.

This was IT.

My life

Wake up-Work-Home-Repeat

I have literally nothing going on, maybe some secret business to blow me up or something but

NOTHING.

Seated in my old beaten up Mustang, I sparked it up.

Thank your Lord you still have gas in this old piece of metal.

I closed my eyes, said a nice word of prayer to keep the gas at least till I get home and started driving.

*******

"R-E-S-P-E-C-T

find out what it means to me... "

I sung out loud with a deafening pitch.

That's why you have never even seen the Broadway stage

You suck at singing

Good Lord

Shut up!

My eyes were closed this whole time when suddenly

CRASH!

I opened my eyes slowly to see what damage I had caused.

Seeing the smoke, my hands gripped the sides of the steering wheel.

"Oh no! " I exclaimed.

Guess it's not your lucky day.

Scratch that

You're never lucky.

My heart started racing as I noticed the amount of smoke.

I walked closer to see a....

Sweet Jesus!

A freaking BUGATTI!

What's the owner going to say about this..

I smiled nervously as I noticed the amount of people watching.

This is some real bad damage
