Kim Baxter and Miles Wayne were sitting in the King's College cafeteria.
"It's really boring to sit here."Kim said looking around. She was a cute ,short young lady who wore glasses which matched her face's shape. She looked at Miles who was only concentrated on his food.
"You seem too calm." Kim said calmly and slowly looking at Miles.Her chin was supported by her hand with her elbow on the table .
"What else is there to do? Just eat."Miles told her calmly and continued to eat. Kim wanted to curse him loudly but remembered there were people in the cafeteria so she decided to do it calmly
"You IDIOT.I know you're a 'no stress' but this should give you enough stress. How are we supposed to live now?"
"I also lied to my old woman that I have a so good job."Kim added.She usually called her mother an old woman when they weren't together.
"So?" Miles asked as if he didn't care.
"So??!!!!.Are you serious?. We're broke. Fired!"
"Ah just eat and enjoy your last meal here."Miles said simply and continued to eat.Kim rolled her eyes before stating to eat .
Miles and Kim were high school friends. They also went to the same university.After their studies they tried to find a job but didn't find any proper job which was quite strange as they had good marks in both high school and university.
Maybe their marks we're not blessed.
"We really.are . so unLUCKY." Kim said with a sigh. They were fired at the Kings College. That's were they were lucky enough to find cleaner's job.
At the moment Kim's phone rung.Her younger sister was the one calling. She then picked up the phone.
"Sup Luna."Kim said calmly after picking up the phone.
"Oh sup sis.Let me be direct. Do have time in the weekend?"
"I'm really not sure I got time you know I am a very busy person." Kim said. Of course she had time .She was single and broke so there was no way she wouldn't have time especially in the weekend. Luna laughed at her.
"Why are you laughing?". Kim asked annoyed.
"Well.I know you will not be busy so visit us in the weekend. You know it been months since we have last saw you."
"It's an order."
"Of course. No. You have every right to choose but our old woman really misses you."
"Why did you even bother ask me if I had time when you already knew?"
I just wanted to know how teacher feel when correcting students who got answers wrong. Bye!"Luna said as she hung up.
"This..."Kim lost what to say. At the moment she received an email and started to read it silently.
"What about the interview you did at that company?"Miles asked her and she showed him the email ."Lost as always."Kim said as she didn't care but deep inside she was sad, angry and disappointed at the extent she wanted to burn all those companies where she failed interviews.
"Your face is scary. That's why you lose interviews" Miles teased her and she just lazily looked at him and sighed
"Well Mr. Handsome. I really can't believe you're sitting in this fancy office." Kim said ironically.
At the moment another guy came and sat with them. He was Dale Jefferson a young attractive man. It was only a few days since he had started to work at the college. He greeted them simply.
"I was surprised to hear you've been fired." Dale said simply .
"Of course it's surprising."Kim said looking at Dale and then at Miles and asked "Isn't it?"
Miles just nodded .
"Is it serious?" Dale asked innocently
"No. It's very serious." Miles replied calmly looking at Dale and then shifted his gaze to a lady who was coming their way. Dale and Kim also turned to look where he was looking.
" Ross Wagner."Kim said with disgust. Ross was a rising idol in 'The raging Phoenix ' an entertainment company. Dale was confused. He admired the lady . Many people did.Ross was studying in the college she was in her last year.
"She is attractive."Dale said simply looking at her. Kim looked at him and then at Ross.
"Gorillas are more attractive."Miles said. Dale had a complex facial expressions.
"She is the reason we are fired." . Kim decided to explain it to Dale who seemed very confused.
"She is?!"Dale asked surprised. Kim and Miles looked at him for a while before Kim said," No. Are you?"
One of the things Miles and Kim had in common. They didn't like people who asked about obvious things, repeating themselves and such things.
The manager simply told them they were fired because Ross said she simply didn't want them there plus they sighed no contract so firing them was as easy as breathing.
"I wonder what benefits she got from it." Kim said calmly. She then added," We never talked."
"Yeah."Miles said calmly.
"Can you please stop staring at her? "Dale asked them embarrassed.
Of course ot was embarrassing and strange as Miles and Kim stared at Ross unblinking and talking. All the people who were once looking at Ross were then looking at Dale, Miles and Kim.Kim and Miles ignored Dale. Their eyes met with that of Ross. Ross then went to sit on the table in the corner. There was another guy sitting there at the table. They talked for a moment. After the guy stood up and left. He was wearing a hoodie and a mask so no one got to see his face.
"Ross. I wonder what we have done to her to get us fired?" Kim said calmly
"Let's not think much about that."Miles said calmly
"Uhmmmm.Well I just think that the' Raging Phoenix co. Is lucky to have her ." Dale said not knowing what to say.
There he goes again. He was always out of the topic.
"Whatever."Kim said simply looking where Ross was sitting.

Miles entered his house. His parents were dead so the house remained his . He lived with his old aunt Antonia. They were too close. Miles mother was killed by cancer while his father died a year in an accident where he worked in a simple wood craving company. It was set on fire . There survived only 5 people and they were several injured.
His aunt Antonia was his father's sister.
It had been 2 years since his father died and 3 years since his mother died.
When Miles entered the house he saw Antonia who was sitting in a wheelchair chair with Philip Turnbull the CEO of the 'Raging Phoenix co.'
_Strange.Miles thought but decided to mond his own business. He went over and politely greeted them and turned to leave "Miles," Antonia called him in her usual calm sweet voice. Philip then stood looking at Miles with a mixture of emotions Miles was not able to understand. Philip was about to touch Miles but he simply stepped aside.
"I'm sorry but may I know what you're doing her Mr Turnbull?"Miles asked politely
"Sit. let's talk."Antonia said calmly. Miles glanced at her and nodded and then sat.
"Thomas was a great man." Antonia said calmly looking at Miles. Thomas was Miles father. His mother's name was Georgia.
_ Who doesn't know that. Miles thought but said nothing he was already bored by the conversation before it even started. He then glanced at his watch lazily. When he raised his head four eyes were looking at him. Antonia was glaring at him reminding him not to look at the watch when talking to a person.
"Thomas and Georgia lived a tough life.Miles don't you know?" Antonia said once again. Of course Miles knew that. He knew how they had to struggle for his sake .
"Yeah, but,,can I know why I'm sitting here?" Miles said trying to be as polite as possible.
"Mr Turnbull please tell him."Antonia told Philip calmly.
"You're my son." Philip said calmly staring at Miles. Miles just looked blankly at him before laughing aloud. He was adopted when he was 5. The parents who raised did all they could to support him. And now after growing up.,a rich man was standing in front of him telling him that he was his son. To Miles, it was meaningless.
"That's good to hear Mr Turnbull," Miles said calmly
"But I ain't interested."Miles said said standing up wearing a serious face.
"Where are you going?"Antonia asked him with a deadly look.
"I got some job to do. Sorry." Miles said as he headed out
_i will murder that child. Antonia thought angryly but it didn't prevent her from smiling at Philip , telling him that Miles might have been shocked.

Miles and Kim put garbage bags in a garbage truck. That another lovely part time job they've got.
"I really hate this." Kim complained smelling the gloves she was wearing.
"Stii you're doing it." Miles said calmly turning to look at her.
"Philip Turnbull. You know him?"Miles asked
"Who doesn't know the guy?" Kim replied with a question.
"He is my father." Miles said and they were silent for a while. Kim then laughed.
"I really don't get why you're jobless when you could be one of the great comedians" Kim said still laughing.
"It's serious."Miles said and Kim realized he wasn't lying.
YOU ARE A RICH KID!!!!!!!!"Kim saing cheerfully as she hugged him for a few seconds.
"You're rich , rich, rich we are RICH!" Kim sang and danced.
."I rejected it."Miles said calmly ad and Kim stopped singing and dancing.
"It's not surprising."Kim said returning to her original mood.
