Chapter 1: New Life…New Beginnings
? : Ally…wake up! You're going to be late.
I open my eyes slightly but the pain from the sun is too much to bear. I groan and put the pillow over my face.
?: Ally, don't make me come up there. You know I will.
Me: Leave me alone Anna!
I try to fall back to sleep till I hear pounding on my door.
Anna: Get your ass up, Ally. You're going to be late for your interview. I don't think you would want to lose this job too. You don't want to go back to your previous job, now do you?
At that I shoot up out of the bed and run to the bathroom.
Anna: Works every time. *laughs*
Me: Shut up, Anna!
Anna: Well it does. You know I love you though.
Anna is my best friend. She's like my sister from another mother. We've been best friends since kindergarten. She tried to steal my crayons and I bit her. Good times, good times…
Anna: Where's your outfit for the interview?
Me: In my closet.
Anna: Are you sure?
Me: Yes, I'm sure. Did you look?
Anna: Yeah and it wasn't there.
Me: What?!
I run out of the bathroom and check my closet and don't see my outfit in there.
Me: It was in there last night.
Anna: Did you maybe move it?
Me: I don't think I did.
Anna: Well maybe you put it on your desk chair.
Me: Now why would I put it there?
I look at on my desk chair and see my outfit on there. Damn I feel like an idiot now.
Me: Oh…
Anna: Mhm…you're very forgetful Ally.
Me: Shut up.
I go back into the bathroom and start getting ready. 20 minutes later, I go downstairs and find Anna on the couch watching celebrity news.
Anna: Ally, look!
She points to the screen with her mouth open in shock.
Anna: Enrique Iglesias is in town this week!
Me: Who?
Anna: Who?! He is THE hottest latino singer in the history of latino singers!
Me: Oh. How nice?
Anna: Ugh! Sometimes I wonder why we're friends, Ally.
Me: Because you love me!
I give her a cheeky grin as she just laughs
Anna: I wonder about that too.
Me: Whatever.
We both continue to laugh for a couple minutes before I look down at my watch and realize it's time for me to go.
Me: Well I gotta go or I might not make it there before they choose someone else for the job.
Anna: Alright. Good luck!
Me: Thanks.
I walk out the door and get into my car. It's my most prized possession. I've had it since I was 16. It's like my little baby. Let's just hope I'll have somewhere to drive my baby from now on.
