Yea, he finally learnt how to pronounce my name.
I smile from ear to ear. "Thankyou, sir."
"Lately, you have been doing a great job without me pushing you and honestly," he sinks back on his chair. "I'm impressed."
"Thankyou, sir," I say politely.
"And because of that, I think you deserve the day off to go and-"
I cut in impatiently.
"No!" I blurt.
"What?"
"Please don't give me the day off," I say desperately. "I want to be here, working. I'm not more special than any other intern and-"
"But you've been working your ass off," Enzo complains. "I think you need a break..."
"I'm not complaining, sir..."
"But I am. And I think you need the day off, Terra," he insists. "You extend every evening after work and I find you are already here early

It's Friday!!!!!I can't tell you just how much I have waited for this day. I even bought a pair of thigh-high black leather boots and a black leather jumpsuit that's exaggerating my butt a little bit.I look at myself one more time in the mirror.Hair. Check.Make-up. Check.Costume. Check.Now, what's left?Oh, some earrings and bangles. I take the accessories from my pink jewel box. I stare at the box and a wave of sadness engulfs me.I remember it like it was yesterday. Amira's first boyfriend had bought her a jewel box. And I was so envious that I used to steal it and hide it in my room just to watch it. I thought it was beautiful. Amira and I got into a fight every time she found it in my room after tirelessly searching the entire house. Mom learnt about this. And she bought both Amira and I pink jewel boxes. Amira sold hers to a friend. I kept mine. I wish I would have sold mine too... I wouldn't be thinking about

TRENT Her name was Lilith. The first girl I ever fell inlove with. She was Lilith. She was the most perfect little thing with blonde curls and a flawless skin with a fragile little body. In my mind, she was Snow White. My Snow White. The fairest of them all. We were both in the same class in kindergarten. I was six at the time and she was five. She was giggly and was friends with everyone. I was shy and an introvert. I couldn't approach her. I just used to sit at the back of the class and enjoy watching her like she was some interesting movie. I was fed up of the intense crush after a few months and finally decided to write her a letter. A love letter. It had a few words, four five words actually... "I LAV UUU, LILITH... CEDRIC." Then I sketched crooked drawings of
