tickets

"Well whos gonna be paying for the tickets?
"Me! Please mom, I could get a job! I've wanted to go to a One Direction concert since 2012, and I could finally make it happen." I looked at my mom, I gave her the puppy face that has surprisingly been working ever since I was 4 years old.
"Fine, but if you don't make enough money for a ticket your dad and I aren't pitching in."
"Oh my ghosh, thank you so much mom!" I ran and gave her a big hug.
"Yeah yeah, well you better start searching for a job. When did you say it was? Next month?"
"Yeah, July 2nd." I gave her one more hug and ran upstairs. When I closed my bedroom door something caught my eye, "My piggy bank! That could get me started."
I grabbed the hammer which was strangely just sitting on my bedside table and I lightly tapped the piggy bank until it broke. I counted all the money and what I came out with was $117.
"I only need about a hundred more dollars to buy a ticket!" I called my friend, Caroline, to help me find a job. After about an hour I found the perfect job for me, "A bakery."
"A bakery? Your gonna work at a bakery? They probably barely even pay anything," my friend said.
"$15 an hour it says," I said. I ran downstairs and told my mom.
"Sounds great, when's your interview?" she asked.
"I'm not sure, I haven't even applied yet. Let me go do that now," I ran back upstairs and applied for the job. 20 minutes later I got an email saying they'd be glad for me to work there and that they need for employees. I answered the email asking when my interview is, to my surprise the guy said I didn't need one and I could start the job next week.
"Good thing you enjoy baking," Caroline said.
"I'm not sure if I'll be baking, maybe working at the counter."
We talked for a little more and then hung up and I went straight to bed, I can't wait until next week.
And sooner or later, it was next week. I set my alarm to wake me up at 7AM the next morning.
"Mom, I'm gonna head to bed now. Goodnight-"
"Olivia it's only 9 o'clock. Why are you going to bed so early?" she asked.
"Because I'm excited for tomorrow," I said and then headed upstairs and got into bed.
Ring ring ring
I practically flew out of bed when I heard my alarm, "It's time!"
I hopped into the shower and got ready for work, when I got downstairs my mom was already awake and having a cup of coffee.
"I'm leaving, goodbye!" I went and gave my mom a hug and kiss.
"Breakfast?"
"Not hungry," and I walked out the door and drove to the bakery.
"This is it," I opened the door... but only to see Harry Styles and a lot of old ladies behind the counter. I was shocked.
"Harry styles?" He looked over at me.
"Ello love," He said. "Mark, she's here!"
Some guy came running out of the back room, "Ah, Olivia! Here you can get started right away."
He grabbed my hand and took me behind the counter, then he went back into the back room.
"Wait but what am I supposed to-"
"We can help you dear," one other ladies said. She told me to just wait for customers and when they ask for something just to give it to them and then they give the money, and boom. Seems simple, I mean that's pretty much the main concept of a job. I finally got to work, and I still couldn't believe I was working with the Harry Styles.
"What sparked your interest to work at this old place?" Harry asked.
"Oh, I just needed money to buy a concert ticket. To a One Direction concert actually," I tried to stay as calm as I could.
"Oh, well I could try and work something out. Maybe get you front row tickets for free?"
I couldn't believe it.
"Oh Harry you don't have to-"
"No, it's fine love," he said as he winked at me. I just got free One Direction concert tickets from Harry Styles, no way. Even though I don't really need the money anymore I decided that I'll keep my job at the bakery.
The next day when I came in for week Harry greeted me with a hug. I was still in shock that I was working with him, plus he just gave me a hug. He went behind the counter and grabbed small pieces of paper.
"Here are you tickets. Uh Olivia is your name?" Harry asked.
"Yes." He looked at me with a smile, which I found quite strange.
