A girl, named Skye just finished University and is working as a receptionist at a secondary school. She is only 21 and is already successful. She has a boyfriend and they have been together for five years. Will they go to the next level? Or will the...
My alarm went off a 6:00am. I got out of bed and walked downstairs and made myself scrambled eggs, bacon, toast and a hot chocolate. After I ate, I walked up stairs, brushed my teeth and took a bath. I got changed into my clothes for the day.

It doesn't really fit for my job (a receptionist), but I don't really dress all formal. Plus, it's not even my dream job, it's just to get me some money. My dream job is to be a dancer and start up my own dance company for all ages. Anyway, me being a receptionist was not in my plan. So all my clothes don't really fit the job. No one has judged me so far, so I guess it isn't that bad. I don't even know how I got the job at my age. But I now have my own money.
My parents say I have to rely on myself for money and my twin sister, works in a corner shop. My older brother has kids to feed, so I'm on my own. At least I have Ryan, my boyfriend.
It was 7:30am and I was going to have to leave in Fifteen minutes. I sorted out my bag and got some snacks, then I left for work. I got a text from Tyler, my best friend, asking to have lunch together. I texted him back and said yes.
When I got to work, I found out my friend Ariel, who works as a teacher at the school, was sick and I was supposed to cover her for registration. As I neared her classroom, I knew it was gonna be a long twenty minutes. When I walked in people were screaming, crying and throwing things around the class. After ten minutes of trying to calm the class, I began to give out detentions.
After three people got one, the class was quiet. I got the register done and went through the announcements with the class. Then, finally the bell rang. I know it wasn't so bad, but it felt bad and it also felt like it lasted three hours. I dismissed the class and made my way back down to the office, after the cover teacher arrived for the next class.
I made my way through the morning and when the lunch bell rang, I texted Tyler and asked where we were going to meet. Straight away, he texted me we were going to meet at the cafe down the street from where I work. I walked in and found Tyler at a table in the corner and went to join him.
Skye: Hey. Tyler: Hey, how's it going? Skye: Good, so who's paying. Tyler: Me. Skye: Okay. I would like a triple choc- Tyler: A triple chocolate cookie with a spiced latte. I've already ordered. Skye: You know me so well. Tyler: I've known you since you were three. Skye: So, work? Tyler: I've got an apartment that I'm moving into, and my job's pay is enough. But I still want to become a business manager. Skye: And you'll become one, I promise. Tyler: Has Ryan asked you yet? Skye: Asked me to marry him? No. Oh, yeah. He said you guys haven't been chatting much anymore. Tyler: He's a friend, still. I'm just not feeling that open right now.
Tyler's P.O.V (Point Of View) Truth is, I HATE Ryan. I love love Skye, but Ryan... I hate him!
Skye: What's up? Tyler: Ummm... nothing. Skye: You paused, What's up? Tyler: I don't want to talk about it. How's your job? Skye: I will keep asking, but the job is good. Not fun, but good. The pay is great and I'm living in a house. Tyler: House? Skye: Yeah, three bedroom. Their guest rooms at the moment. Tyler: I always knew you'd do well. Skye: Thanks.
Skye's P.O.V We started talking about Tyler's birthday, which was coming up. Then, I had to go back to work. I managed to finish up on time and left early. When I got home, I made spaghetti and changed into my Adidas tracksuit and sliders.
I sat down on the couch and started watching Netflix on the T.V. Then there was on the door, I opened it and there was Ryan.
Skye: Hi, Bae. Ryan: Hey, babe. Can I come in? Skye: Yeah. What's up? Ryan: Nothing, except can I move in? Skye: What? Ryan: My parents are making me move out and I don't have a house. I don't have a job. Please? Skye: I ca-, but y-. Wh- . Okay. But you must get a job and clean up after yourself. Okay? Ryan: Cool.
We sat down and watched Netflix together, until it was time for me to go see my parents.
Skye: I'm going to see my parents, I have to go. Ryan: What? It's only 6:03pm. Stay a bit more. Skye: They moved further away and I have work tomorrow, so no. Ryan: Okay.
I went to get ready and put on what I put on for work and left. It took forty five minutes to get to their new house. I must say it was beautiful.

This was wonderful, but I'm sure I'll achieve much more. I knocked on the front door and my dad answered it. He showed me to the living room, where my mum was sitting unpacking.
Mum{Alice}: Skye, how are you? Skye: Great mum, you? Alice: Wonderful, same for your dad. How's your job going. Skye: Great. The house is beautiful. Dad{Daniel}: We know, but you don't seem as impressed as we thought you would be. Skye: Not to be rude, I love it and all, but I believe I can achieve way better than this. Alice: That's great. And no offence taken. Skye: So, how's Alison{my twin sister}? Daniel: Fine. Jordan is doing great and feeding his children. Skye: Jayjay and Carrisa! I miss them, haven't seen them in a while. Daniel: Carrisa goes to a boarding school now. Alice: Jayjay attends a football academy. Skye: Wow!
We talked more about the family and finances for about another hour, then I left.
It was about 8:45 when I got home and Ryan was waiting at the door for me.
Skye: Hey, Bae. You okay? Ryan: No! Skye: What happened. Ryan: I specifically asked you if he still liked you and if you like him. You said no, then you get a letter saying 'Hey Skye, sorry this is on a letter, but my friend dared me to go a week without my phone, so.... Anyway, I enjoyed lunch with you today, would you like to hang out again sometime. Love ya!
Tyler' Explain that to me, why were you with him? You know what, I don't know why I even care! I've been dating someone else for the past two years. Skye: One- Why are you going through my letters. Two- we talked about work, when we met up today. Three- he's still my friend and always will be. Four- I've known him since I was three, we are good friends. Five-even if i was MARRIED I'd say to him and he can say to me 'love ya'. Six- You were cheating on me?!Now don't think about moving in anymore! I hate you, WE ARE DONE! How dare you go through MY stuff! Privacy! Leave the letter and GET OUT!
