When I got home I was still embarrassed about what happened at work. I went right up to my room to clean up myself.
But it still seemed strange that even though I was a wreck he didn’t seem to notice. At least I could be thankful for that. Still it doesn’t seem to help. The one guy I’ve had a crush on since I was twelve and I looked like I hadn’t washed my hair in a week.
And he still didn’t pay attention to my looks. He treated me as if I weren’t any different from any other employee.
“ELENA, DINNER!”
“Yes Mom, be right there.”
As I sat down for dinner, the questions started.
“Howwasyourfirstdaaydidyouimpressyourboss mom howdidyoulookwhodidyou

“MOM! One at a time.”
After I answered the first dozen more came.
“ I think you should stop working there and waitress at your father’s
Restaurant.”
“No I like my job.”
“Give me one reason you like that job.”
“CAUSE TSENG, huh, oops, I mean cause the pay.”
“TSENG!!!!! THE TURK!!!!! NO I FORBID IT!!!”
“YOU CAN’T TELL ME WHAT TO DO WHO TO LIKE OR WHAT TO SAY!!!”
“YOU SHOULD BE PROPER AND PRIM LIKE ME!!”
“I DON’T WANT TO BE LIKE YOU!!”
“I’M GOING TO JOIN THE TURKS!!!!”
“YOU WILL DO NO SUCH THING!!!!”
“Like I said before, you can’t tell me what to do.”
There you go now I’m going to even with her and be with Tseng, MAN I’m good!
