Rileys POV

"And what makes you think I would hire you?"

I shrug. 

"I don't know..." I trailed off.

"I just really need this job ok? Please, at least let me show me you what I got." I begged.

She pursed her lips.

"Fine. But I'm only giving you one chance."

Vicki has always been uptite. She's 2 years older than me, and ever since I was in 5th grade, we've hated each other. I guess it's just because we're two very different people who had opposing opinions for everything. Just my luck, she happens to work at the Oz-Tech main industry building, the exact place I want to get a job at.  Even though she let me apply for the job, I'm not sure if I'll be good enough for such a difficult, high class job that only hires the smartest brains in the city. 

I smiled. "Thank y-"

"Yeah yeah, save your thanks." She interrupted and picked up the speaker mic.

"Kyle to office 6 for job viewing please, Kyle to office 6" She spoke, and a few minutes later a tall man with dark hair and blue eyes came into the office.

"This is Kyle. He's going to be testing you and interviewing you to see if you're right for the job. Which I highly doubt.." She murmered that last part. 

I rolled my eyes.  She left the room seconds later, heels clicking on the quartz floors. 

Vicki always was one to dress for the occasion. Deep red lips, perfect high ponytail with not a single hair sticking out, she looked like a millionaire.  She graduated from high school not too long ago and already works at one of the biggest industries in the city. She always gets her ways.

"You're quite young to be applying for such a big job." The man commented before starting the interview.

"Yeah, I'm graduating high school soon though. I just think I'm already ready for this kind of job."

I've always been the smartest kid in the class. I don't know how, I've just always had a better brain than everyone else. I was always doing work that was 3 grades higher than what I was, and everyone has always told me I have such an intellegent brain. What can I say? I guess I'm a genius.

"Ma'am, you do realize you must be at least 18 years of age to have this job, right?" He replied bitterly. He looked at me as if he was talking to a child.

I'm not a child.

I gupled. "Yes sir.."

"But I'm turning 18 in a few months and I just thought I would try for the job anyways, I just can't wait that long. I really need the cash"

Ok. Now I sound like a poor person trying to get the job just for the money. That's not the story. I've always dreamed to work in this building with people just like me.

He stared at me for a while.

"Alright. I'll interview you" he finally decided.

I gave him a wide, but proffesional looking smile. "Thank you"
