Seyah Pov:

"No Mam" I defended myself. "What are you standing there for? go and look for the job you are going to look for" She said. "Okay mam, I said and run out of the house. Oh thank you Lord you have saved me again. Now where should I start?I thought as I continue walking. I spotted a restaurant. I went inside. "Please can I see the manager?"I asked the receptionist as she looked me from top to toe."Do you have an appointment with him?" She asked. "Ummm... no ,am looking for a job." I said. "Come let me show you his office."She said as she stand up. "Thanks madam." I thanked her. "You are welcome." I followed her. Finally we reached the manager office."Here." She said. "Thank you very much." I said. "You are welcome again." She said and walk away. I Knocked. "Come in." I heard the Manager's voice. I opened the door and get in."Good afternoon sir."I greeted him with a warm smile. "Afternoon, sit down"he said. I sit down. "What do you want me to do for you?"He asked. "Sir please am looking for a job."I said with a smile. "Oh okay, then you have to work as a waitress." "Okay sir, I don't have a problem with that." I said. "Okay then your work start at tomorrow." He said. "Ummm... I forget to tell you, I am a student so I will really appreciate it if you give me an afternoon shift." I requested. "Okay then, no problem." He said. "Thank you very much sir" I said. "You are welcome." He said. "Okay sir,then I will take my leave."I said and stand up. " Okay." He said. I walk out of the office with joy all over my face. "Did you get the job?"The receptionist asked. "yes " I said with a smile. "Am happy for you. I forget to ask your name, what's your name?"She asked. "Am Seyah what about you?" I asked. " Am Carlee." she replied. "Okay nice to meet you."I said. "Nice to meet you too." She also said. "I have to go. see you tomorrow."I said. "Okay bye."she said. "Bye." I said and walk away.

Am happy that I got the job else my step mom will kill me. I walk on my way home. She didn't even gave me money for transport. Since morning, I haven't eaten. They said I should eat at 6:00pm everyday so that we can save money. I often steal some food when no one is around. I also eat the leftovers whenever am washing plates but today aunty has been around. Last time I steal some of Hedy's breakfast she beat me nearly to death. "Did you find the job."Aunty Victoria asked as soon as I entered the house. "Yes maa."I said as I bow my head. "Good, what type of job did you find?" she as taking a sip of her wine. "Mam, I will work as a waitress in the restaurant near the house."I said my head still bowed . "Good, now on if you get your payment bring it to me to give you some. you are too young to handle money."She said. "But mam, am 17years old and you asked me to look for a job so that I can Carter for my self."I said. "How dare you challenge me?huh? did you pay house rent? huh? did you pay water bill in this house? did you pay electricity bill in this house? don't let me skin you alive.get out from my face!" she yelled at me as I quickly run away.
