Queen of the 40 Thieves, chapter 4
Well, she got the job and started that day; it was ok, she would have some free time and she would get the food with a 50% off or something.
She wasn't alone, Kevin was the cashier beside her, and so they talked all day long.
At the beginning of the day Kevin started to call her "Nameless" as a joke, but at the end of the day, it was the name he gave her.
The feeling of going out of the routine, to don't have to obey someone else's commands, to don't have to listen to anyone, was great, she was feeling a lot happier than she had on a really long time, I'd say that she hadn't felt as great as she was feeling that day since Emma died, well, that's what she said.
But nothing good can last.
After a couple of weeks she was already bored, and also, Kevin was the only nice person that she knew there, and after a while she already knew all that he had to say, so he became a boring and lame person to her.
She felt sad because she spent her birthday alone, well, with Kevin, but she never mentioned to him when her birthday was, she really missed her friends that day, even though they really weren't her friends. It was just easier for her to call her "friends" than "class mates" or something, I guess it was because the second option was too long, and she didn't want to waste her time on clarifying the fact too often, after all, nobody cared.
Two weeks had gone since she had arrived to Atlanta, and she was already leaving, that night "Nameless" and Kevin were standing in front of the door of the house where she was staying, they said their good bye's, as usual, Kevin went to his home and she went to her room. I don't think that Kevin could have ever imagined that he wasn't going to see her ever again.
The next day she woke up early morning, she had already packed her things. She went to the same train station where she had arrived two weeks and one day ago.
As she did when she left Albany, she bought a ticket for the next train departing to "doesn't matter where". She was leaving the "Boring as Hell City".
That kind of became her routine for the next year. She took a train to destination unknown, got to a new town, changed her hair colour, got a job, met somebody, made some "friends" sometimes, got bored after a couple of weeks, or sometimes after a month or something.
I remember she telling us that from Atlanta she went to somewhere in North Carolina, then Virginia, Kentucky, Arkansas, Texas, Arizona, Nevada, California, Seattle, Chicago, Detroit, Ohio, Philadelphia, New Jersey and then she went to New York.
It was in NY where she stayed longer during her run away.
It was in New York where her life changed.
