To Walk in My Shoes

The New Boss by Angelica Vale

it was a monday morning. Time for me to get ready for work. I was with my friends Ivan and Austin. All together, we were best friends, and we decided to be at the same job to have each other’s back every time in case we needed help. We drove around at work and started typing and getting calls from other people that needed anything. However, there was something different, and there were changes with our new boss. “Have you heard a new boss is coming here and hiring?” Ivan said. “Look, I don’t know about you guys, but I feel like there will be worse changes than before. He looked like he’s gonna plan something like murdering or something. I feel like a nightmare from my bed is gonna start if I sleep,” Austin said. At first, I never believed him, but thinking of what he said made me wanna go back and reverse that line one last time before it all started. I was completely confused and had no clue where to meet our new boss. But then, the clock rang and all of us went to a meeting room. “Alright everyone, my name is Lukas and I’M your new boss. Now, everything will change and we will listen to WHATever I say.” Ivan whispered in my ear, “I can tell he already sounded very rude. Don’t you think we should start quitting this job?” I felt like I wanted to quit this job too, but we hadn’t tired of him being our boss. For a while and soon after, we started to go back and finish what we left off. Something was making me shake. I had goosebumps crawling over my skin that wanted to take over my body and devour it. I felt like a terrible chapter was gonna start with Lukas. ***** Over a month passed, and half of the workers were gone and had not even come back ever since he came around. But as I was walking, Ivan was running away. He shouted to me, “ALEX! ALEX ALEX! Can I talk to you? IT’S To Walk in My Shoes
