Jermany's POV
Tak tak tak.
"What's your name again?"
"Jermany. Jermany Dallas."
Tak Tak Tak.
"How Old Are You?"
"Twenty-two."
Tak Tak Tak.
"What exactly are you here for today?"
"A job Interview."
Tak Tak Tak.
"Do you have an appointment?"
"Yes, I made one online."
"hmmmmm"
Tak Tak Tak.
"I'm sorry but that doesn't reflect here."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that your so called appointment is non existent."
"But I paid $25 for that slot."
Tak Tak Tak. Tak Tak Tak.
"Excuse me, I'm talking to you."
Tak Tak Tak. Tak Tak Tak.
"Can you stop typing so loudly for just a second and actually do your job."
"This is my job miss."
Tak Tak Tak. Tak Tak Tak.
"Ughhhh, how am I going to get my $25 back?"
"It's none of my business miss, you've been scammed. You should have just made an appointment physically like everyone else."
"I did, I came here and you asked me to make one online."
"I'm sorry but you have to leave."
"Wha....."
"Do I need to call security?"
I glare at the receptionist and she glares right back. This goes on a while until I cave.
Fuck her.
I gather my things and leave.

The cool breeze blew my hair every which way as I walked through the busy streets of New York. Blame it on how pissed I was right now or blame it on the voices in my head but, right about now I feel like the only unemployed person in New York.
I was born and named Jermany Sunshine Dallas. I was born in England and I've lived in New York since I was 2 with my now widowed mother. My dad passed away since I was twelve; lung cancer. Ever since I was old enough I've always tried to help my mum and her worthless boyfriend William. But, all my efforts for the past two years have been in vain.
I arrive at my favourite cafe in the entire world; Starbucks. I order my usual latte and doughnut. I eat really slowly dreading the fact that I will have to go home and tell my mum that I couldn't get a job, again. We are up to our necks with debt right now. I wish useless William would help but, he is the reason we are in debt in the first place.
I pay for the food and leave. Immediately I step out I notice a black SUV with tinted glasses. I've been noticing it for weeks now and I feel like it's watching me. I might be wrong though.
My mum isn't home by the time I get there. I take a shower and change into fresh clothes. I decide to watch some TV while I wait for her but much to my dismay, our cable bill has expired. Great.
