Summer Alexander

"Summer! Go take table 2!" My boss shouted as I just got out from the toilet. He's such an annoying boss but I needed the job more than anything.

I've been living the hustle life since I was 3 years old since I'm an orphan. I have no idea who my parents are, what do they look like, let alone knowing if they're still breathing or not. Ever since I was a kid, I lived a tough life and mostly alone without anyone by my side. 

When I was 15 years old, I started to take more part time jobs even though I'm still busy at school. Then time fly so fast, I got into high school and learned to socialize a little bit. I let myself lose a little and that's when I met my friend, Hanni. She's Korean-American, not to mention that she's beautiful and rich.

We both are polar opposites. She's beautiful and I'm just plain. She's rich and here I am working lot of part time jobs. She's not interested in school, when I love school and quite smart. I can be cocky when it comes to good scores. Luckly I got scholarships for my college because of my highschool grades. 

Everytime I see Hanni, I can say that life is not fair. How can she live her life easily when I have to struggle a lot? Hanni never looked down on me but I felt jealous sometimes. 

"Summer! What are you doing?! Take table 2!" My boss called me again and I grabbed the menu before running towards table 2. 

"Hello, what can I get for you?" I asked with a smile.

"We'll get 2 cheese toast, 1 beef sandwich and 1 chicken salad." The customer said and I repeated their order, just to make sure. 

"Your order will be ready in 10 minutes, thanj you." I said and smiled to them.

"Thanks."

"Summer!" My boss called after I put the new customer's order in. 

"Yes?" I asked and he came out from the kitchen when a plastic bag.

"Go deliver this." He said and he walked back to the kitchen. I checked the address that was attached to plastic bag. I walked out from the restaurant and got on my motorcycle.

Yes, I usually do deliveries too because I have a motorcycle. Tiring but I know I'll be okay. It's always been like this. After this, I'm going to work at the ice cream shop and later on working at a cosmetic shop and lastly at midnight working at Korean Chicken shop as their delivery girl. 

As I was going to deliver the food, Hanni called and I picked it up.

"What's up?" I asked as I put her on loudspeaker and put on my helmet.

"Guess what?!"

"What?"

"I got us tickets to the musical concert that you wanted to go so badly!" My eyes widen hearing the news. I've always loved musical theater concert and she just got it for me. 

"Hanni! You really make my day.." 

"I got you girl, you don't need to worry! Are you working now?"
