Sunday 1:37PM
Vida made her way back up to her apartment. she still couldn't figure out if she was dead or not. Everyone seemed to see her and they acted normally so she couldn't be a ghost. Unless she was a ghost and she just looked like a normal person, but then there was the pain that she had felt. Ghosts don't feel pain, do they? She thought about every show and movie that had to deal with ghosts. Casper the Friendly Ghost, Ghostbusters, Ghost all of them had something in common. A ghost could pass through things at will. They didn't need to open doors. "Alright here goes nothing." She whispered to herself. Getting a big breath and looking to a wall she decided to try passing through it. If she couldn't she would accept the fact she wasn't dead. Vida took a few hasty steps to the wall and of course was stopped when she bashed her nose square into it. Instantly she collapsed to the ground holding her nose. "Ow ow ow.." tears stung her eyes as she laid in a ball on the ground.
"Whoa. Girl are you alright?" A woman said as she held onto the arm of a guy. "Maybe next time you should open your eyes when you walk."
The guy laughed with her as they walked by. She had to admit that seeing someone walking straight into a wall would be rather funny to see, though it wasn't her dumbest idea of the day. She had thought about the fact that ghost normally flew around. At least she didn't jump off the building to see if it would work. She held onto her nose as she walked to her room not noticing that the pain was actually gone. She stopped dead in her tracks staring in horror at the sight that was before her. She had left her apartment door open. "NO!!"
Sunday 3:45PM
Vida spent the next two hours finding her cats and apologizing to the people they had bothered. It wasn't enough that she was having the weirdest day ever, but she had to go on a cat hunt. She held both cats in her arms as she walked into her apartment and closed the door. "No catnip for you two tonight." She dropped the cats and looked around for her phone. She was suppose to be at work today and she hadn't even checked the time. Finally finding her phone she turned it on and stared at it. It felt like her stomach dropped to the floor as she saw the time and the 17 missed calls. She was suppose to be at work at one now it was almost four. "I am fired. I am sooooo fired." She said starting to pace. Great! Now what was she going to do. "I know." She said talking to her cats. "I will go and apologize. Yeah. That will work.. maybe." Flustered she throw on a shirt, a pair of pants, and some shoes. Grabbing her coat she patted the pockets feeling her keys then slipped her phone in. "Alright you two, watch the house." With that she bolted down the stairwell and into the street.
Running through the city was nothing new to see. People ran all the time if they missed their buses or trains. Today she didn't have time for either, she would make the trek on foot. Vida cut through traffic and practically pushed people out of her way. It wasn't long before she arrived at The Y. It was a community facility that she had been able to get a lifeguard and swim instructor job at thanks to her training back home. She ran past the front desk not stopping to show her employee card. "Late!" She yelled as they called for her. She ran into the aquatics area and relaxed seeing that her lesson had been covered. "Thank goodness." she breathed.
"Thank goodness for what?" A familiar voice repeated behind her.
Vida stood up straight still trying to catch her breath. "That someone took the lesson of course. I meant to call you to let you kno-"
"I don't want your excuses." He snapped. "Now. I am only going to forgive you this one time." She was elated to hear him. "But that is only because you are willing to take any shift and work over time."
"Yes sir. Anything." She said quickly. "Well.. as long as it doesn't interfere with my other job. I already gave you my schedule. But yes! Anything to make up for this. I will scrub your toilet! Well not your toilet, but the toilets here. I am sure your wife would be-"
"I get it" He stopped her. "Now get in your suit and get ready for your next lesson."
"Yes sir!" She said and ran off to the locker room. Everything was going to be alright as long as she still had her job. Vida actually liked this job too. She worked well with kids. She had a hard time communicating with adults, but with children it was easy. As long as you smiled and showed interested in the things they liked they were quick to accept you. If only she could make enough money just doing this she would quit her waitressing job and work here. But being as things were she didn't make nearly enough money working here. She knew that she should actually quit this job and find another one that paid more, but she couldn't bring herself too.
