'' I'm sorry, there is nothing I can do about it''
She replied pushing her office chair backward folding her arms
''Please ma'am, there's gotta be a way out''
I pleaded on the verge of crying
She paused for a while as if she was thinking
''P-please''
I pleaded as my eyes were brimming with tears
She heaved a sigh
''Look, we gave you a condition and it has expired. There is no second chance again Jessie. i'm sorry''
She replied pinching the bridge of her nose closing her eyes
I looked down and sucked a breath. It's finally over. Where do I begin?
I nodded as I turned to walk away
''Look, I know about your situation as I too have tried to help. Give me your number. I know that you will one day find your daylight''
She replied as she pushed her chair forward to bring out a note book
I gave her my number
''Thanks, if you have any problem, please come and meet me''
She pleaded
''Yes Mrs Adams''
I nodded and exited the office
*******
''What! That can't be possible''
Exclaimed my roommate also my bestie-Camilla
''Yeah! It's true. I-I don't even know where to start''
I stuttered as I fought back my tears
Well, if you don't understand what is happening, I'm kicked out from school because I cannot afford to pay my bills. Well they gave me a chance and it is up. I really need to get a job ASAP. My parents died in a plane crash and left properties for me. Since I'm the only child, everything is written under my name. I learnt that my parents were wealthy and famous. Now that they are dead, their greedy siblings took the money and properties and left me with just a small bunch of money.
My roommate Camilla is a worker in a club. As crazy as it sounds, she's a stripper. She is the one paying our house rent. She's so kind. I feel guilty for not paying and she always assures me that there is no problem in that. We met at a bus stop when there was no money in my hand to pay for my fees and she helped me with them. Then we started to talk and I told her about my problems and she pitied me and told me to live with her...
''So what are going to do?''
She asked
'' I don't even know. I think that I'll need to find a job and I don't even have a degree!''
She stared at me
Oh-oh
I knew this will come
''Why don't you just say yes and come work with me?''
She requested folding her arms
''Cami, you know that I don't want to''
I replied tired of saying this statement again and again. It's starting to become a verse...
''Why?''
She replied cocking her head to the side
'' Cause I just don't want to''
I replied suffocated, sitting beside her
''Ok...''
She replied surrendering her hands as she was hinted with annoyance in my voice
''Am sorry...''
''Nah! Its fine'' She chuckled cutting my words. ''You know what? Why don't you work as a waitress? There is a vacancy there'' she suggested
I sighed
''I don't wanna work in a strip club''
I replied soothing my aching brain
''Look, they pay well there and if you still feel guilty for not paying half the rent, you can work. I promise no one will touch you''
She explained
''Are you sure?''
I asked betraying myself. Damn me
''Yes!''
She replied as her face lit up
''o-okay'' I said defeated. ''when do I start?'' I sigh
''Yay!''
She celebrated clapping her hands which earned a chuckle from me
''Well'' she said clearing her throat ''I kind of registered you in'' she said scratching the back of her head
''Oh my gad! Are you being serious?''
I asked as my jaw dropped dead. I'm still delighted that she registered for me
''Yeah...''
She trailed off
''so you knew that I won't finish my studies?''
I asked with confusion
She chuckled
''It's not like that. I saw how hard you have been doing lately and I really wanted to help so I started by applying a job for you''
She replied pouting
''Aww thanks. I have the world best friend ever even though you ended up in a strip club, I love you''
I replied pulling her for a tight hug
''Yeah, Yeah. I get it. It's ok''
She replied suffocating from my tight hug
I released her and we chuckled
''Am hungry''
I replied as my stomach growled
She laughed
''I made lasagne. It's in the fridge. I thought you would come late today''
She replied getting up
''Oh ok thanks. Where are you going?''
''I'm going to work. My shift is this afternoon''
She replied wearing her heels
''Ok bye''
I replied as she exited the apartment
I made my way to the fridge to warm my lasagne
******
''Oh my, this is short. I don't think I can wear this''
I replied glancing myself at the mirror
''no babe, this isn't short. Have you seen short?''
She replied with hint of tease in her voice
I chuckled as I pulled the pleat of my red skirt down to reach my knee
''Don't worry, they won't notice you. There many waitresses there''
She replied as she sat me down to pack my mahogany hair into a messy bun
''there you go''
She said as she packed her hair into a neat bun too
It suits her with her dirty blonde hair and brown eyes
''we don't have all the time cami. We need to get going''
I sighed as I glanced at the time which reads 4:35
''just wait. Won't you apply make up?''
She teased which earned a chuckle from me
''ok''
I applied mascara and applied lip gloss on my lips
I looked at myself and I am ready to go
