I woke up to the blaring alarm going off from my phone. I reached over to my nightstand as i tried to hit the snooze button over and over to shut off the alarm. I groaned as i could see the sun peak in through the window by my bed. I grabbed my phone off my nightstand and checked all of my social media sites before i decided it was time to get out of bed to get ready for school. First day of senior year. Fun. I hate high school, it's pointless. We're brought and born into this world to go to school for 12 years just to graduate, and go to school for another 8+ years depending on your college major, just to work for 50 years then die. It's pretty sad if you ask me.

I got out of bed and walked into my bathroom. I washed my faced, then brushed my teeth. I went into the kitchen, to see my brother drinking coffee at the table watching the news. I went over to my fridge, and grabbed out a starbucks coffee bottle, coffee creamer, and a glass cup from the shelf. I put a couple of ice cubes in my cup, then poured the coffee and creamer in. I sat down at the table next to my brother and sighed.

"hey Mariah, are you ready for your first day of school? isn't your internship today too?" Sam asked as he turned the tv down. I nodded, taking a sip from my coffee, "yeah my internship is right after school at 4." i said "and no, i'm not ready for my first day of school."

"it won't be that bad. just don't get in trouble and you'll be alright. Principal hadding is a dick though." he said rolling his eyes. My brother wasn't one who stayed out of the principals office often.

Sam is only a few years older than i am, i'm 17 and sam is 24. He works at some doctors office. My brother is my guardian, our mother passed away a few years ago, and our dad walked out on us when i was just a little girl. So this paid internship i'm getting should help out with the bills.

"are you excited about the internship though?" sam asked. I shrugged, "yeah i am. but i heard Mr.Brock is mean."

"well don't get on his bad side, i'm serious, i know how you like to test people." sam said raising an eyebrow at me. "i gotta go, i'll see you tonight. love you. good luck." he said as he pushed my head gently causing me to laugh and roll my eyes.

"bye, thanks. love you." i said as sam walked out of the apartment.

I put my now empty coffee cup in the sink, and began getting ready for school. i got dressed in checkered pants and a black AC/DC tshirt. I left my hair down, curling a couple of the strands and did my makeup. After I finished getting ready I slipped on black combat boots and grabbed my book bag, a black blazer and heels for my internship and walked out of my apartment leaving for school.

Once i arrived at the same high school i've gone to for the last 3 years, i parked my car and sighed. Last year of high school, can't wait to get this over with. I walked into the building and got hit with the same familiar smell of  depression.

"hey baby." Bryce said behind me as he kissed the back of my neck, as he moved my hair to the side.

"oh hey." i said giving a forced smile. Bryce and i have been together since junior year, i don't want to be with him anymore, but honestly i'm too scared to get out of the relationship because of how toxic he is.

"can i come over after school?" bryce asked grabbing my hips pulling them closer to his.

"uh, i have my internship remember? it starts at 4." i said trying to get out of his grip.

"i can be quick." he said smirking at me.

yeah no shit. i thought to myself, in reference of him never making me cum, ever. I swear men do not know how to please a women.

"i'm going straight to the office after school, i'm not sure how long i'll be there." i said

"whatever. i'll just have to do someone- something else." he said, causing me to scoff and roll my eyes. I know bryce cheats on me, but i honestly don't even care because i don't want to be with him. He just won't break it off, for whatever reason.

__________________________

school went by in a blur, it was boring and every class was just us going over the syllabus, except math. i don't understand how they expect us to go 3-4 months not doing any math, at all, just for them to immediately force us into doing work. pathetic.

after school, i switched out of my boots, and slipped on black heels, and a black blazer, to look more fancier. We're supposed to dress up, but the office is on the other side of new york and i don't have enough time to drive back to my apartment to change, then go to the office. Plus I was running a little late this morning to pick out a full outfit, i'm sure they'll understand.

I arrived at the office around 3:50. I sat in my car for a few minutes, touching up my hair and makeup, i grabbed perfume out of my purse and gave myself a couple of spritz before i walked out of my car. I threw my keys into my purse after locking my car and going inside the building.

"hi. i'm here for my internship with mr brock." i said to the lady at the front desk.

"oh yes, floor 23." the lady said giving me a small smile. i nodded and got in the elevator, hitting floor 23. I hated elevators. I always have a fear that i'm going to get stuck inside of one, which always causes me to panic because i'm claustrophobic, which does not mean i'm scared of santa clause.

I walked out of the elevator once it opened to the top floor, and was greeted by another lady at a front desk.

"hi. i'm here for my internship for mr. brock." i said telling her the same thing i told the other girl at the front desk on the first floor.

"okay, just go ahead and sit in the waiting area outside of his office, and he'll be right out." she said giving me a smile as she picked up her phone go page him.

i nodded as I looked around and sat down on the white leather couch outside of 2 big brown doors. Which happened to be the only room up here. i picked up a magazine on the coffee table in front of me and just flipped through the pages, looking at the pictures. brock enterprises. could this man be more obsessed with himself? pathetic really.

"Miss Madrigal?" i heard a voice say once the office doors opened. I looked up to see the most hottest man i've literally ever seen, in a skin tight suit, with his muscles literally bulging out of his jacket. maybe this internship really will be worth it. I thought to myself.
