I'm a nineteen-year-old girl named Helen, and every day I wake up at dawn to help my teacher setup shop. The shop is a bakery I work in, called Succulent Sweets, and the person who owns the bakery is my teacher whose name is Bartlett.
Today my teacher left a note telling me to get some pomegranates, pears, and the largest pumpkins I could find at the marketplace. After reading I take a quick shower, dress myself, grab the note and my purse to head out to the marketplace. When I reach the marketplace, I quickly glance at all the interesting shops before searching for a stall selling fresh produce. It takes me a few minutes to find one full of fantastic specimens of pomegranates, pears, and pumpkins. I'm about to walk over there when I accidentally bump into a man.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry!" I whisper shout in anxiety while looking up at the tall, dark, hooded man. I brace myself to be yelled at by the man, but all he does is glare down at me with surprisingly bright green eyes. I can't help but feel a little awestruck by the brilliance of his eyes while feeling complete terror of how angry he could possibly be.
"Be more careful next time." The man tells me in his gravelly voice before walking away from me. I stand there a bit in a daze as the man disappeared, leaving a faint scent of myrrh behind.
"What was I doing again?" I looked around myself and remembered I was supposed to get the items my teacher had listed, and so I did. Intent on becoming a mature and dependable apprentice to my teacher as much as possible.
