The morning had arrived, although like the previous day, it was also cloudy. Glasgow was known for being a town that lived most of the year with fog and under the clouds, few were the days of abundant sun; however, the crops and vegetation were extremely good. Despite the climate, the town was sustained by construction and fishing, those were the two most important businesses there and in a short time they were able to enlarge the place to avoid depending on the neighboring towns, now they had a school and high school and a state-of-the-art hospital.
The leader of the place was Mr. Morrinson, a middle-aged man who, together with his wife, did what was best for all the inhabitants and got construction contracts in other towns that gave work and food to his people. They had two twin sons, Caleb who was older by only ten minutes and Dante who, unlike his serious brother, had always known how to be the life of the party.
While finishing cleaning herself, Sophia closed her eyes hoping that unlike the city, in this town and in the school there would be no bullies. She had already had a bad time at school, she had a condition that according to her grandmother had been inherited from her father, she had heterochromia, or better explained one eye of each color, one blue and the other brown, for some that was fascinating, for others she was a freak and that's what they had called her most of her childhood.
She went down the stairs with her worn backpack on her back, inside she carried two notebooks and an old pencil case that contained two pens, a pencil, an eraser and a sharpener. As she supplied herself with everything, this time she didn't want to afford to buy new things or otherwise her little savings would drop and she already had enough with having to buy food until she got a job.
The school was near the house, so she would walk, the journey made her pass through the downtown streets, therefore she would take the opportunity to see prices and know of places that needed helpers. For once luck was on her side, a cafeteria needed waitresses in the afternoon and she did not hesitate to enter to ask for the position.
Good morning, I'm here for the waitress job- she said to the man who was preparing the coffees.
Good morning, little one, are you new in town?- the man said looking at her from top to bottom, but not with contempt.
Yes, we arrived yesterday to live here, I will study at the high school that is nearby and I could work during the afternoon- she explained kindly.
Very well, if it seems correct to you, when you finish classes today you can come and try your luck, my name is Henry- he said stretching out his hand.
Sophia did not hesitate to take it and thank him for the opportunity, the salary was good and left her a good margin to save. They agreed that as soon as classes ended at 3 in the afternoon she would present herself to work, he would have the uniform prepared for her and the schedule would be until 10 at night, she could have a snack and dinner there or take dinner to her house, which she loved because that avoided her buying food and Lauren or Darrel eating it.
She continued her way to the high school, but now a smile adorned her face, the happiness of knowing that she could again afford to buy clothes or stock up on hygiene products filled her chest.
The building where she was going to study was quite modern compared to the town itself, but it felt cozy. If there was something that Sophia did not like, it was being the center of attention, which was what was happening at this moment. As she was the new one, everyone looked at her as she walked through the halls and headed to the reception where they should give her the study material and her schedules.
Good morning- a blonde-haired, light-eyed girl crossed her just before she entered reception -my name is Katherine and you must be Sophia, right?- the girl extended her hand to greet her.
Good morning, yes that's me- she replied shaking her hand and returning the smile.
Well, I'm from the student council and my duty is to show you the place, but as we are the same age, we will surely share several classes together- she said while both entered the office to collect Sophia's schedules.
Good morning, girls, oh you are Green, welcome to Glasgow, these are your two study books and here are your schedules. I hope your stay in this place is extremely satisfactory- said Mary, a middle-aged woman, with a chubby face and extremely kind.
Well we have several subjects together, right now we must go to mathematics. Did you like the town?- Kat was very pleasant and talkative, she partly reminded her of Evelyn.
I can't walk much of this place yet, but it seems that everyone is friendly here. Fortunately, this morning I got a job, so I think I'll be fine- she replied also smiling.
Really? Where?- she asked curiously.
In Henry's cafeteria- she replied.
Incredible, so apart from being classmates here we will also work together- she said hugging her, which surprised Sophia.
Do you also work there?- she asked returning the hug.
Yes, when I leave school, if you like I can take you I have a car- she said while they entered the classroom.
I wouldn't want to bother you- she replied.
Oh come on it's no bother, besides when we leave I'll drop you off at your house. It's not nice to walk alone at night even if you live near there- she said leaving her backpack on the desk.
Okay, but you'll let me give you gas money when I get paid- she replied and sat next to her, where there was just an empty seat.
Okay, okay. If you want I can also bring you to school, I didn't tell you before, but I live two blocks from your house. When they told me I had to welcome you, I read your file, so if you're okay we'll handle ourselves together- Kat's smile was contagious and although Sophia had never been a very outgoing girl, the truth is that she felt very comfortable with her.
Are you going to be my driver?- she asked curiously.
No, if you let me, I'll be your friend- she proposed.
I'd love to, I really appreciate it- she said before the teacher asked for silence and started the class.
