Personal Narrative: Another Job

I was beginning to grow tired of work. It was the same chores I always was assigned to do. I wish I could get a new part-time job, but since my 18th birthday was just around the corner, it would be hard to find another job. And even though I was sick of this job, I would probably feel the same after a while, if I got another job. I looked at the clock and there was only 10 minutes till my hours was up, and I would be able to go home. While I was sweeping the floor in the little store, I saw the cashier waving at me. Well even if I thought my duties were boring, it was at least better than hers. The only thing she does for the six hours, is sitting and smiling fake to all the customers. But when I looked up at her again, I realized she wasn’t

I felt like the blood in my body had gone cold, and when I tried to take a step forward I couldn’t, I had become like a statue, frozen without a single movement. All of a sudden I heard a whispering voice, it sounded as the person was murmuring but then the murmuring became words, and I could recognize the voice and moreover I could recognize the words, those two annoying words… Ugly duckling.

“Mmm… probably a few hours ago”

“And you came to tease me as the first thing?” I said in an annoyed

I went inside my room and threw myself on the bed. I turned around and looked at the white wall. Marcus and mom probably still had a bad relationship towards each other. They always had a bad relationship, mom never wanted to have anything to do with Marcus, it was like she had deleted him from their family… I never understood why they had such a bad relationship to each other, mom was a good person and Marcus was a good person too. But mom was sometimes a bit annoyed at how close the two of us have gotten. For me Marcus wasn’t only a brother, but he was like my dad, friend and mom… he had always been there by my side taking care of me, he was the one who raised me from the beginning, and protected me from when I was able to remember. I wished someone could tell me why they didn’t like it each other… but no one but those two knows, and Marcus won’t tell me, and mom would definitely not tell me. I looked towards my
