Innocence

Mystery man

The next morning Mila woke up in a bed. She sat herself up and stretched out. But when she really opened her eyes to observe the suns rays, she noticed the window wasn't where it was supposed to be. She looked around and saw that she wasn't even in her own room she jumped up from the bed and looked around again for a door. She smelt very delicious pan cakes and eggs.
"Hello?! Please let me out! Anyone there?", she slowly walked towards the smell.
She saw a man doing the dishes, and she flipped!
"Who the hell are you?! Let me go!", she ran towards the door and found it was locked. The guy was shocked.
"Woah, calm down! Why are you so paranoid?", he asked her smiling.
"I'm Brian Gerald, I couldn't help but notice a girl in need of help last night. You were being cornered by that b*y woman!", he said with visible irratation. Mila kept her distance as she did with everyone else since the incident. "Would you please give me the keys, I want to go home!!", she exclaimed.
"Well I'm going to have to drive you", he said, Mila had a very uncomfortable moment "I mean, you can't walk home, I have to drive you or else you'd get lost", he explained. He had a point, Mila slowly but surely nodded her head. He took the keys of his car and opened the door for her. They had a silent ride home.

Mila was in her room, she was waiting for Heather to take her to her job offer. She had a suit on, just to look presentable and sophisticated. Heather honked outside and Mila took her bag and left.

As she got into the car Heather's mouth dropped. "I know!", Mila smiled
"No, you've got to go change Mila!", Heather laughed. Mila frowned and asked why.
"Well, for starters, you're going for a waitressing job, not a business board meeting okay? And it's so smart! AND it's summer, dress normally please! Even if it means I should come up there with you", she explained to
Mila. Mila sighed of irratation.

It had been 2 hours of talking to the owner of "Sandy's", and it had been going well for Mila. She was interviewed for one hour and got all the legal documents done.
"You can start tomorrow! So, please be ready tomorrow morning at 7", the owner said. She called a woman from the back into the room to join them.

"Mila, meet Sheila, Sheila will be showing you around and what goes with what, and stuff. Sheila, Mila", the owner introduced them and sent them off. Mila was a bit uncomfortable, Sheila was dressed gothic and had black and blue on! She was chewing veraciously on her gum as if t was the last time she could ever chew it.

"So where you from?", Sheila said through the gum.
"I'm from South Africa", Mila smiled waiting for Sheila to be stunned or say something like "cool!" Or "nice"
"Oh", she said blowing a bubble and kept on walking.

After ages of walking and talking and memorising, they finally came to a stop. "And that is how you work with the cash register!", she said with annoyance and sarcasm.

Heather and Mila walked together in the street at 7.30 pm, they both were very tired and a bit tipsy.
"Heather, you're crazy!" Mila laughed, as they stumbled into the streets.
"Mila, walk straight!!", Heather shouted smiling at her friend
"F*ck you Heather!", Mila pushed Heather to the wall of the street playfully.

The girls went up stairs to the 2nd floor. They were laughing and playing around right before the 3 girls came downstairs. Mila went silent and looked down. The one girl stopped Mila by holding her by the shoulder, Mila quickly shoved her shoulder away. "Okay, first of all, I ain't got no f*cking germs up in here! Second, my boss wanna see yo' *ss", the girl spat at Mila. Heather just observed in disgust at these rude girls. She felt sorry for Mila, she had to go through all of this when she's only new and fragile.

"W-w", Mila stuttered.
"Listen, Mila! Just ignore these-"
"You back the f* off b*! Ain't nobody call you for no opinion!", the curly haired girl shouted.
"Okay", Heather said trying to calm herself down from beating this girl.
But she couldn't "B* go get yourself a f*cking hairline!", Heather spat at her
"Oh hell naw!", the girl came pushing her chest on Heather as Heather did the same. The hallway was full of noise at the time whether the 3 girls where spitting rude words at Heather or Mila, who was trying to pull Heather away from the fight.
Mila successfully got Heather to stop.
"B*tch", Heather said lastly following Mila upstairs.

Mila grabbed her keys and pulled the handle, she noticed the door was open already. "Oh shoot! I forgot to lock the door when I left!", Mila said to Heather as she swung the door open. "I'll be right back", Mila uttered walking to the house while scratching in her bag. She suddenly smelt smoke and looked up.
"Oh my-"
"Shhh..."
