Something About Rain

PROLOUGE

*Oh Cecilia by the Vamps starts playing*

"Ugh! how is it morning already!?" groaned Carmen, still trying to process her surroundings half asleep.
" I think I'll just snooze it for the time being and sleep...Wait, oh shit! shit! shit! shit! How could I forget about my job interview today?"
"STUPID GIRL, how could you!?", she cursed at herself while struggling to get her trousers on as fast as she could. " I hate to break this to you Carmen, but no breakfast for you today", she told herself half-heartedly. Talking to herself was one of Carmens personality traits. A powerful one as she says.
"I knew I should've worked part-time and saved up for moments like these, " she thought to herself while running around in a frenzy, looking for a cab so that she could get to her job interview. She had been looking forward to this day ever since she was 9. Working with Ramona Martina Diaz was her childhood dream and thanks to her tardiness, that dream was about to end before it could even start.
Fashion, a topic that Carmen loved talking about. Since she was a kid, the world of fashion had fascinated her and caught her attention in some way or the other. She would dress up her barbies in outfits she would create from old clothes lying around her parents' house. At the age of 13, she saw her first-ever fashion show and as expected by her parents, was immediately intrigued by it. Carmens eyes would sparkle every time she saw the lovely, handmade apparel all those models wore in their runaway shows. That's when she knew what she wanted to do for the rest of her life, 'Design clothes' and thus began her dream of becoming a Fashion Designer.

" Oh my God! I am still unable to grasp the fact that I'll be meeting my role model, the person who has been my biggest inspiration and working for her. Aaah I feel like screaming and dancing and singing, all at once. I am positive about landing a position as her assistant" said Carmen looking at her resume. Straight out of the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, she was confident that her unique and cost-efficient designs would surely win Mrs Diaz's heart.

The cab halted in front of an enormous mansion like office. One look at the glowing and shiny signboard outside was enough to confirm that she had reached her destination.
"$18.75", said that cab driver.
"Here you go. Keep the change, sir", Carmen said with a smile across her face. The cab driver took off leaving her standing outside the mesmerising infrastructure in awe. "This is where your life will change forever Carmen. Don't let this opportunity slide away. I believe in you", her inner voice told her.

Little did she know, that this day was going to cause a whirlwind of chaos in her life. A type of chaos her wasn't ready to face.
