"So, what's going to happen now? Are you telling your dad about the job?" Kathy asks me.

I already told her everything concerning how I got the job. As usual, she was so happy for me, hugging me over and over again. She even told Charlotte who's on her way here.

"I have to. As my dad and legal guardian, he's got to sign the papers. I just hope he agrees." I say sighing.

Just then, the doorbell rings.

"Who's there?" Kathy asks.

"It's me, Charlotte. Come open up."

Kathy smiles and gets up to open the door. Once the door opens, Charlotte comes in and immediately hugs me saying 'Congratulations' up to three times.

A while later, after I have told the story again to Charlotte, she begins pacing.

"Hey, Charlotte what's up?" I ask her.

"Isn't a fashion designing job about 40hrs weekly? How are you going to handle that with high school senior year?" she asks, visibly concerned.

"She's right, Amelia. That's going to be really stressful." Kathy says.

"Well, I am going to discuss it with Mrs. Martins tomorrow. You guys shouldn't be worried, she already knows I'm a student and I'm just training." I tell them, after which they both relax a bit.

"Hey, let's bake to celebrate this success." Kathy says suddenly, to which we both agree to immediately.

As we bake our favourite red velvet cake, we discuss a lot of things until it gets to boys.

"So what's up with you and Nate?" Charlotte asks. She seems to notice things pretty fast for someone who has been with us for just one day.

Kathy blushes furiously as she answers, "Oh, nothing much. We just got talking and it's a really good start for us."

"So that is why you're blushing bright red?" Charlotte asks, earning a laugh from me and a glare from Kathy.

"No, well yes. I just wish we could be something more, I wonder if he feels the same way about me." Kathy says, as she beats the egg for the cake.

"Any sane guy would know you're a keeper. As for Nate, he's lucky to have gotten your attention and if he doesn't realize that, it's his loss and not yours." I say to Kathy.

"So, Charlotte you have any guy on your mind yet?" I ask her.

"Uhmm, yeah, I saw a really cute guy today at school."

"Who is this guy?" Kathy asks immediately. No one likes boy-talk like Kathy.

"It's Jason." She says, to which I and Kathy gasp.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing really, just that he's Queen M's boyfriend." Kathy says dramatically, to which I roll my eyes. Queen M.

"Who's Queen M?" Charlotte asks. She already looks downcast hearing that he's dating someone.

"It's Melanie, the second most popular and bitchy girl in school. Fun fact though: no one calls her Queen M. It's just a name Kathy made up two minutes ago." I tell Charlotte who's already preparing the love-shaped pan for the cake.

"Well, it's a nice name you have got to admit. There's no real problem though, the guy is already tired of her. So just make him feel a chemistry between the two of you and he will leave her for you." Kathy explains, twisting her hair the way she always does when something's cooking in her brain.

"So, how do I do that? I'm already crushing on this guy. He's so handsome with a good body. Looks intelligent too." Charlotte says dreamily.

I quietly sigh to myself. There's no difference between Kathy and Charlotte, two boy-crazy girls.

"Oh, he is. He's very interesting too and he can sing very well. He should be the next Bruno Mars." Kathy says. Of course she would compare the two of them, being a fan of Bruno.

As they continue to talk about boys, I put the cake into the pre-heated oven to bake. I just can't wait for it to be ready, I just love cake too much.

"You're going to work tomorrow right, Amelia?" Kathy asks.

"Yes, I am. Why do you ask?"

"Just wondering if you and Cole would meet up and discuss, you know." Kathy says grinning. I knew she was getting to something like this.

"I really don't know, we could. I have to admit though, the guy is cute and seems considerate. He still remembers me, that's really nice." I say, trying hard not to even blush slightly.

Later, after the cake is finished, I and Charlotte clean up and decide to go home. It's already late and we've got assignment to do.

"Bye Kathy." I and Charlotte both say to which she replies faintly.

I start heading home hoping my dad would be at home. I have got to tell him about the job.

Fortunately, my dad is at home watching TV. I suddenly get nervous, dad might not agree. Well, I have to do it if I really want the job.

"Hey dad, how are you?" I ask quietly.

"Oh, it was fine. Just a little bit of client trouble, but no worries. How was your day?"

"Fine. I have got something to tell you." I say, noticing my palms have become sweaty.

"Okay, what is it?" Dad asks and turns off the TV giving me full attention.

Still standing, I reply, "I got a job today."

"Dad looks at me for a while before asking, "Why?"

"I got a job because I want to gain experience in being a fashion designer. That's the job I applied for and got. It's not the money or anything dad." I explain, hoping he accepts.

"Okay. I thought it's about the money, but since it's not, I'm alright with the job. It's going to teach you to be more responsible."

I'm so happy I rush to hug him. I didn't really think dad would agree.

"I hope this job won't affect your studies. If it's going to stress you out, I suggest you drop it. I don't want you deviating from your main priority, Amelia."

"Dad, I promise it won't. Thanks so much, dad. My new boss gave me some things for you to sign since you're my legal guardian and I'm still a minor." I say, no longer nervous.

"Okay." Dad says. I quickly rush to get the papers which dad signs.

"You know your mom would be so proud. You're already learning to be responsible and independent."Dad says. I struggle to not get emotional.

"Thanks, Goodnight dad."

"Goodnight and Congrats." Dad says.

I head up to my room thinking of the last day of the week and my first day of work.
