Chapter One: Interview

It was a beautiful Wednesday morning. The birds were chirping happily in the trees as the sun showered it full warmth during the Autumn season.

Everyone was feeling particularly sunny and happy.

Except for one person, that is.

Valerie grumpily turned to the other side of her bed and sighed in frustration. She didn't know what was so good about the morning.

The thing is, she wasn't really an early morning person. Mornings made her sick. They were just too 'bright!'

She was about to drift off again when the door to her room opened and in came May, her bestie and roommate

"Rise and shine, sleeping beauty! It's morning, incase you didn't notice!"

Valerie didn't reply her, but mumbled some incoherent words and dragged the covers up to her head.

May sighed

"Come on! Lazy bones! You'd better get up now, or you'll be late for your interview!"

That seemed to do the trick as Valerie instantly shot up from the bed. She had totally forgotten that she was supposed to go for an interview this morning.

She didn't even glance at May as she flew from the bed and straight into the bathroom.

May laughed horribly at this hilarious scene "It's 8:30 am! The interview starts by 9! How will you make it on time?!" She asked rhetorically but Valerie didn't answer her.

Ten minutes later, a brunette haired girl could be seen seated in a bus, trying to fix her hair.

Valerie muttered in frustration. Due to her sleep-in, she didn't have the time to eat or even fix her hair. She was at least grateful to God that she ironed her clothes last night or else, it would have been a different story.

May had given her some money for the bus and urged her to eat but she was too hurried to listen. She just grabbed the money and ran out the door.

She was lucky to catch the bus on time as she didn't have money for a taxi. That was too expensive.

Fifteen minutes later, the bus came to a stop and she got down, adjusted her skirt, raised her head up high and moved forward.

Today was the first day in a long time after her long list of rejected work applications that she was getting an interview.
