Dalawa!

"Lisa, dear. You're early today?" My dad beemed as i entered our small house

"Oh i thought you're at work. Well, the class got suspended due to our Professors' errands" i lied and he seems to believe and nodded his head

The real think is that i ditched my class. After that little chitchatt with Jennie at the garden, i kinda felt like cuddling with my pillows. I don't want to attend class so i've decided to just go straight home and get some nice rest, after all those events earlier was kinda tiring

"Where's your glasses, Lali?" Dad ask popping up my small bubble of thoughts. I gulped as i remember what happened with my glasses

I held the box along with the books tight on my chest as i think of some excuse

"W-well, i decided to take it off for a while and let my eyes breath" i smiled awkwardly at him clearly nervous about the situation. He hummed with a nod before dismissing me so i quickly ran up to my room

Phew!! I'm glad dad bought that excuse. I'm slowly running out of them because i've been kinda keeping things from him ever since my freshman year, two years after my mom passed away. He was struggling to find some job and sustain our weekly needs, he was so stressed up and i don't want to add some more

I went to my mirror and stared at the most disgusting person i've ever met in my entire life. Yep, she was standing in front of me, she's me. I glance at my hair and almost got blinded because of how bright it's color is

My head literally looks like carrot, it has yellowish, orange-ish red color on one head making it looks like a piece of shit. No wonder they call me like that

Don't get me wrong, i love yellow and other bright colors, but having those all in all on my head is not so good idea at all! And this is not my intention, never have i ever dreamt of having a carrot-like head because who would?! No one. You won't even try and i know it

This is Jennie's fault. We had a fieldtrip back in freshman year, unfortunately me and that meanie share the same subject and so we both are in the same team. I was having my peaceful time reading my fav book when i felt a liquid flowing on my head, guess what it was? Yes! It's hair dye shampoo! I was crying so bad that time while Jennie just had her smug face on! She was a total brat back there until now

I really don't know what's up with her and her pranks with me, at first it was just mild until it became more mean and soon enough hurts me, not just physically but both emotional and mentally. She's literally the worst nightmare i wish i'd never encounter again, but luck wasn't on my side, i had to deal with her every single day!!

I'm a senior student so that means i only have less than a year with Jennie and that's fudging great! I can already feel the relief. Ican't wait!!

And yeah, i'm also having hard time dealing with my hair, it's almost four years yet i haven't get the chance to change these shitty color. I badly want to bleach these and change it into darker color but sadly, we don't have enough money for my salon. I'm working as a part time waitress in a restaurant. Good thing our customer don't find my carrot-head annoying and instead, they compliment it. I was doubting their praises, though. I guess those were sarcasm or whatever they call it

I heard my phone beeped from my bag. I heaved a sigh before going to my bed and grab out my phone from my bag, turning it on and reading the email i've recieved

"Whaaat?! Another salary cancellation?! Argggghhhh! This is unfair!!" I cried with agony as i flopped myself on my mattress

This is the second time our salary got cancelled. Argghhh my head is starting to throb thinking about how can i buy some foods for me and papa, we only have three days food stock. I guess we're going to starve for a couple of weeks again, i really need to find another work and shouldn't be depending on my salary as a waitress. Arggghhh!!

I decided to move my lazy butt and start to search some job offers that has bigger salary than my current job has

"Ohhhkay~ what do we have here~" i mumbled scrolling on my phone for some possible jobs

"Gotcha!" I grinned tapping the slide

It's says a 24/7 convenience store is needing a counter person and they offer 200 USD every month and it's like 220,500 SKW. That's freaking big for a counter person, but that's actually better

Lemme take this job

"There you go! I'm rich" i giggled at my sillyness. I can be a comedian, maybe in the future pffttt

I turn my phone off before going down stairs

"Papa?" I called out, i saw my papa through the window on our front yard, holding a watering can

"Outside, Priya!" he shouts back. I went out and beside him, just watching him water the plants

"They're pretty, papa. Mama will surely be proud of you" he chuckle at what i said and heaved a sigh afterwards. I smiled as silence envelop us before i decided to tell him about my salary

"Pa, my salary got cancelled again. We won't be able to buy food for the next few weeks" i said sadly and i felt his hand around my shoulder hugging me from the side

"That's okay, my child. I'll just ask my boss if i can have my salary in advance" he said comfortingly but i shook my head

"Isn't he a meanie? Do you think he'll let you?" I asked

"We'll see" i shook my head again

"Papa, you don't have to. I'll find some ways to get some money. Besides! I've found a new job that offers huge amount of money!" I said happily while he sends me a sweet yet sad smile

"Won't that be tiring?" He asked worriedly. I knew he'll have this reaction

"Of course not! I'll be fine, i'm a Manoban after all" we both chuckle at what i said. Ughh i love this kind of moments with my parents. Sadly, mama wasn't here with us anymore

"Okay then, i'll just prepare our dinner" he kissed my forehead before heading in and to our kitchen then i heard rustling of utensils

I heaved a sigh for like, i don't how many times already. I really hope fate would be nicer to us in the near future, i just don't want to burden my father anymore. He had enough and he's old, i should be responsible for our expenses. I hope we're near to our brightside
