Cassey wasn't a silent girl, but neither was she loud. She said what she wanted, then went silent, as opposed to her sister, who would shout anywhere if she had the chance.
'Can't I have a raise? I've been working so har-' Cassey said, but was cut off by her manager.
'We pay people like YOU to work at a front desk. Do you want to work here, or down there with the rest of your friends?' Her manager snapped back.
Cassey fell silent. She didn't know how to respond to that without getting herself in more trouble.
'Here..' She muttered, and continued to clean.
That day when she got home, she was greeted by a large stack of presents and her older sister.
'Happy Birthday!' Amelia smiled, and hugged Cassey, who was still startled by the surprise.
'Hello, Amelia' She replied, a grateful, but still confused look on her face.
