Submissive to my boss

“Isabella Juliette Fox," at the call of the school principal, I stood up like a bundle of nerves and went up to the stage to receive my diploma. I felt so excited and at the same time nostalgic because I was not going back to school. Most of my friends and classmates would be leaving this year for college, the plan was to go with them, but due to certain things I won't be able to make it.One year. It will be a year full of delays and uncertainty. My parents don't have the college money yet, but they promised they will get it for next year. In the meantime I will also save. Just to help me a little.“Congratulations," my former teacher says as she hands me my diploma. I smile for the picture as I say goodbye to the teachers. I am so nervous that my hands are sweating. Being in front of a huge crowd makes me phobic and makes my movements clumsy. The heels I wear are high and the robe is a bit big. As I descended step by step to get to my place and make myself small, my foot buckled cau

“Is everything ready, Isa? “Mom was asking from the bedroom, today was the day I had to leave for California and my parents were exaggerating too much, as if it was a trip of no return.“Wait a moment," I said while I put everything in my small suitcase and in a brown handbag, I didn't have much in terms of clothes, I wasn't the typical girl who was characterized by provocative clothes and those things... I was old”fashioned, better, that way I went unnoticed of those morbid looks.The day was quite sunny and I liked days like that.“Here” Dad received my bags as he saw me swaying from side to side as I struggled downstairs”I think we're in time for you to catch the bus”we left the house and headed for the garage.I took one last look at my little place, that same place that witnessed many things, but that today I would have to leave behind, I put a hand to my chest full of nostalgia. I had never been separated from my parents and neither from home, for a girl who suffered from anxiet

One year later...-Loam! An order comes out—the shout of my beloved boss snaps me out of my thoughts. I curse under my breath and walk over to grab the dish ordered at table four."I heard," I told him when we got there."How much do you think about?" he reproached me.I didn't answer him, I just took the tray and took it to the customers.-Enjoy it.My shift was almost over, so I took off my apron and left it on the bar."It's time to go," I told my boss who had stared at me.—As you wish —he took some money from the box and gave it to me— See you tomorrow."Thank you, Jeymi." I took the money and counted it. Forty dollars, it was the only thing I earned in the week. I had been saving for almost a year. I would have to count how much I did. I grabbed my things and headed home.It was the graduations again, I remember that a year ago I was in that same place.When I get home I go straight up to my room and grab my piggy bank. I prayed that there would be enough money to leave. I took

"Is everything ready, Margaret?" —Mom asked from the bedroom, today was the day I had to leave for California and my parents were exaggerating too much, as if this was a one-way trip.—Wait a minute—I told her as I put everything in my small suitcase and in a brown handbag, I didn't have much in terms of clothes, I wasn't the typical girl who was characterized by provocative clothes and stuff.. I was the old-fashioned way, better, that way I went unnoticed from those morbid looks.The day was quite sunny and I liked days like that.—Lend here—Dad received my bags when he saw me go down with difficulty swaying from one side to another—I think we're going in time for you to take the bus—we left the house going to the garage.I took one last look at my little place, that same place that witnessed many things, but that today I would have to leave behind, I put a hand to my chest full of nostalgia. I had never separated from my parents or from home, for a girl who suffered from anxiety thi

When I got to my room, Piper was there, adjusting her white top in front of the mirror."Hello," I greeted when I arrived. In spite of everything, she would be my roommate and I didn't want to start with a tense atmosphere from now on. Piper looked like one of those goth girls that was two-faced. Something inside me told me not to trust myself too much."Marga, it's good that you're here," he turned to me. Her complexion was dark and her hair was curly--Today we didn't have the chance to get to know each other better.I sat on my bed and grabbed my computer."I don't think so," I screwed up my face.“Well, I'm a sophomore and so are Trevor and Trisha."That's great." I sat on the bed Indian style and put the computer on my lap. He planned to watch a movie while he spent the night. Maybe I'll call Nicky or have a video call with him. I missed him so much.-Are you going to the party? It will be great."Actually I'm not much of a party, too loud noise gives me a headache," I denied putt
