My old rusty Alarm Clock rang so loud making me jump out of sleep in fright. Though it didn't surprise me, I don't think I can ever get used to the extreme noise it makes.
It is a very old alarm clock, so I couldn't blame it. I need to get another one so I can wake up the normal way almost everyone in Golden City does.I pressed the little button on my Alarm Clock and pulled off the duvet from my lower body. I sat up and searched for my floppy slippers with my feet. I finally found it and I wore them quickly rubbing my eyes with my fingers. I stood up and had a very nice and long stretch.The ray of the sun reflected into the room and I smiled walking to the window. I peeped out and I felt a strand of my hair on my face as I went to peep.I huffed getting rid of the strand of hair, before using my palm to brush my hair neatly. I had a large grin as I stared at the street, how beautiful it looked from the third floor where I was.Then the thought of me going out to search for a job again made me sad all of a sudden. I pulled down my curtain in frustration and looked around my room. It was looking so scattered because I haven't had the time to take care of it."Today Is another day," I said to myself standing akimbo. I dragged my feet on the floor walking to the bathroom. I removed my night robe and finally walked into the bathroom.I turned on the shower and I shivered as the water touched my smooth fair skin. I am Kimberly Johnson, and I am Twenty Three years old. I was born into a poor background which made life miserable for me. My parents strived so hard to send me to school hoping once I graduated, I would be their savior.But unfortunately, things aren't going the way all of us planned it. I graduated with a poor grade which can't help me in any company. I can't even show my face at home, because I am a disgrace to them.I don't blame them, I am an embarrassment to myself too. I just hope one day all these become history for me. I need to make my parents proud.I was done with bathing, I walked out of the bathroom after cleaning the water on my body using the towel. I walked to my closet and opened it looking at my very scanty clothes. I picked out my second best shirt, which was already washed and ironed. I wore my underwear and wore my shirt afterward.I picked the black skirt I wore the previous day and also put it, luckily for me it still looked very clean. I stood in front of the mirror adjusting the look of the shirt and skirt on me. After being satisfied, I picked up my hair comb and combed my hair to my satisfaction, making it fall freely on my shoulders.I applied my nude lipstick and wore my shoes at the same time. The shoe was an old one but still looked very neat. I carried my bag which contained my credentials and took one more look at myself in the mirror before walking out of the door.I locked the door and threw the key in my bag. As I walked down the hallway, I searched my bag for the last cash I had on me. Before I got out of the house, I found it and counted it feeling a little displeased. "This won't even last for two days." I thought sadly. After counting, I inserted the money into my bag again and then suddenly I hit someone."Watch where you are going b**ch." The man roared."Oh my... I am so sorry, I wasn't looking." I pleaded to turn to look at the person I hit. It happened to be one of the men that lived on the second floor in my house."Stupid girl." He said and my remorseful face turned into an angry one."I apologized okay? No hard feelings." I replied angrily and he began to walk towards me."What did you say? Do you know how much I got these shoes?" He asked angrily and I bent my head to look at his shoes. That was when I realized I stepped on his shoes."How much?" I asked proudly. I can't let him embarrass me early in the morning. The neighbors were beginning to gather around us, and I hated it."Does it even matter? It's not like you can afford it." He said smirking and I knew he was just looking for trouble and I wasn't in for that. Angrily, I dipped my hand in my bag and pulled out some notes from my neatly folded dollar notes. "Here! Shove it in your an*s." I spat angrily walking away. I had the frown on my face for a very long time, and when I began to feel the pain I released the frown a little.After walking some meters and calming my nerves, I dipped my hand again in my bag and brought out my dollar notes. I counted it, and I realized I gave him USD 60 out of the USD 120 I had with me.I bit my lower lips firmly in regret, now I am stranded for real. I should have just apologized and walked away, but my pride won't let me do that. It was so hurting that I felt my eyes heat up but I quickly fought it. I can't cry because of an ordinary USD 60, which is a slap in my face.I swallowed hard, shutting my eyes and breathing out loud. I opened my eyes with a fake smile on my face, and I stood at the edge of the road waiting for a Taxi to pass by.After exactly fifteen minutes, I sighted a Taxi from afar and I began to wave it down before it got closer. My plan today is to go outside Golden City since I already tried my luck everywhere in the City.The taxi stopped in front of me and I bent to talk to the Driver."I want a ride across the borders of this city," I said smiling."Ma'am that would cost you a little." He said and my heart began to beat very fast. I know how much I had with me, and I can't spend all of it on transport."How much are we talking about here?" I asked still keeping that fake smile on my face."USD 25 Ma'am." He said and my eyes widened."I am with USD 60! And if I take that out, I would be left with USD 35! OMG!" I yelled inside of me while I kept staring at the Driver."Ma'am are you still going?" He asked and I nodded reluctantly."I have no choice," I muttered opening the door and hopping in. One sentence kept ringing in my head..."I must be employed today."Because if I am not, then I would sleep without food today."We are here." The driver said to Kimberly and she peeped out of the window smiling widely. She opened the door and highlighted.She walked to the front, dipped her hand inside her bag, and brought out USD 25 stretching it to the driver."There you go." She said to him as he received it. He nodded in response and ignited the engine.She moved back and took a look around the city again. It was way bigger than Golden City."I wish I lived here." She thought sadly.Just then she remembered she was in the new city for something. To secure a job.She walked down the path looking around for any companies or school to submit her credentials.After a short walk, she came in contact with a huge building which happened to be a school. She smiled and walked to the gates.She adjusted her shirt and skirt, breathing in and out before walking into the school premises.The security man who was busy sleeping on duty jumped to his feet as soon as he heard
Kimberly walked down the streets fuming in anger. She knew she messed up again, but this time she wasn't at fault.Her stomach grumbled and she grabbed her stomach frustrated. She checked her wristwatch and she noticed it was time for lunch already.She remembered she still had USD 35 with her, so she decided to stop by a restaurant to take a break and have lunch.She wasn't in a good mood because she was still actually hurt. Her ankles were still hurting badly and she had to keep leaping.She cursed under her breath as she noticed the way she attracted people's attention to herself because of the way she was walking.Finally, she saw a restaurant and she leaped Into the restaurant quickly. She sat on the nearest chair next to her and breathed out loud.She dropped her bag on the table and lifted her legs rubbing her ankle, giving it a slight massage.She groaned in pain for some seconds, but after the constant massage, it felt fair."Hi Ma'
Kimberly walked down the street feeling so exhausted and still kinda hungry. Her day was nothing to write home about.She could think of nothing but one thing. Going home and not coming back to Mystic falls in search of a job again, since Landon Hernandez seems to own the whole city, the chances of her Working is 2%.She noticed the taxi wasn't stopping to give her a lift, even after waving them down severally."Is Landon behind this too?" She thought immediately feeling so frustrated."Madam, are you okay?" A man asked after watching her for some while and noticed she was losing her mind already."I am not! The taxi won't stop to give me a ride!" She said in rage."Ma'am they can't stop here. You have to get to the Park first." He said and Kim calmed down a little when she realized it wasn't only her."Oh. Thank you, I didn't know about that." She replied the man and he nodded smiling."I knew you didn't know, and that's why I decided to tell you. You
Kimberly hopped into Landon's Benz car and sat next to him at the back of the car. The driver ignited the engine and began to drive down the road."Can you please explain why you are taking me to your office?" She asked looking at Landon who was busy on his phones."I told you already dummy. To discuss business." He said smirking as he kept punching his phone."But we have nothing about business here." She said and he sighed looking at her."You talk too much. You are in search of a job aren't you?" He asked and she nodded."Yes, and so?" She asked rudely."I want to offer you one." He said and her eyes widened."Oh My God! Do you want to give me a job? But why? We aren't friends." She said and he smirked."I know we aren't friends. But I need someone desperately. And you also need a job desperately. So that makes the both of us." He said grinning and Kimberly felt butterflies in her belly."Was he going to get her a job! Just like that?" She thought furro
Landon smirked staring at Kimberly as she stormed back towards him in anger."You think I would stoop so low to be your maid? Do I look like a maid to you?" Kim roared in anger."No, you don't. But it looks like you don't have a choice, considering your credentials and..." He started looking at her from head to toe."There Is always a choice! And none of it involves being your maid!" She smacked rushing back to the door when she remembered her cash was still with him.She stopped biting her lower lips in regret before turning to look at him again."My money." She said stretching forth her hand and walking to his table."Is that how to talk to someone that saved your an*s from trekking all the way home?" Landon asked standing up and walking to her with the USD 25 In his hands."Haven't you done enough! Why are you frustrating me!" Kim yelled and before she knew it tears rolled down her face and Landon arched his brows."Woah. Didn't see that coming." He said w
Landon took a warm shower feeling so tired after his stressful but amazing day. He fell on his bed with his shorts on staring at the ceiling.A smile crept on his face as soon as he remembered the whole drama of the day. His day has never is so fun.He loved the way he frustrated Kimberly, though he had never had anyone's time the way he had Kimberly's.He sprang to his feet filled with the desire to know about her. He walked to his table where his PC laid.He switched it on and went online in search of about her. Luckily for him, he caught a glimpse of her names so he used the search engine."Kimberly Johnson." He typed and it brought out almost everything about her. Her Facebook handle also came on the screen.He clicked on her Facebook account and it brought out her profile. The school she graduated from, and her location. Her pictures and her phone number.He clicked on her profile photo and smiled as soon as he got a clearer look at her face. She had
THE NEXT DAYLandon got up from his king-sized bed, stretching out as he wore his floppy slippers.It was a Saturday. Saturdays are always awesome for Landon. He goes ice skating, swimming, depending on his mood.But this time around, this Saturday won't be an awesome one. He would have to sit down for the House help interview."Gosh! I hate today." He mumbled scattering his hair with his palm in frustration.He checked his wall clock and saw it was almost 7 am."Woah. I woke up quite late." He thought walking to his table and sitting.He reached for his PC and switched it on. While he was still yawning and rubbing his eyes, the PC came on.After booting, the first thing he did was check out the site where the aspiring maids were to fill their forms.He clicked on the number of participants and he saw more than two thousand participants."Wow." He exclaimed.As of yesterday evening, he saw One tho
Kimberly woke up due to the loud ring of her rusty alarm clock. She sprang up as she was a little frightened."This b**ch wouldn't be the end of me." She whimpered hitting the alarm clock hardly on the head.It stopped ringing, and she yanked off the duvet from her lower body, climbing down the bed.She yawned widely and stretched out still feeling lazy."I still feel drowsy." She grumbled rubbing her eyes with her two hands.She searched for her phone in the drawer next to her bed, and then she saw it. She switched it on and found out it was a Saturday.Saturdays are always not too pleasant for Kimberly because she would have to stay indoors throughout the day. It would be a boring day.But she didn't have a choice, she has no money to take herself out and equally, she has no man in her life presently to take her out.She switched on her wifi and her messages began to pop in. Though they were few and that is because she isn't the social typ
