Welcome Home

Chapter 1: Welcome... Home???

    Today was a normal day for me. Nothing was out of the norm, it was just a simple day - well, a simple night - narmally I had trouble sleeping. It was after midnight and I checked the alarm clock next to my bed.

    "it's already 3:43 AM?" I groan, I already knew my sleep schedule is already messed up, but I had a job interview at 8 AM, this wasn’t going to go well. I sighed and turn off my computer monitor. I get out of my chair and walk over to my bed.

    I sigh as I lay down and get under the covers. I looked up at my ceiling and I see my glow in the dark stars, it was quite beautiful. Shortly after I began to close my eyes and fall asleep rather quickly, I was oddly tired now as I drifted off to sleep.

*BEEP-BEEP! BEEP-BEEP!*

    Goes my alarm, it startled me awake as I sit up groggily, opening my eyes from a restless night. I rubbed my eyes in a tired gaze.

*BEEP-BEEP! BEEP-BEEP!*

    My alarm continues to ring, in a sudden rage I hit your alarm clock, shutting it up. I grinned happily as I got out of bed, checking the time it read 6:45 AM, I had plenty of time before it was time for my job interview so I decided to cook some eggs and sausages.

    After breakfast I checked the time, it read 7:09 AM, I sighed as it is time to get ready for my job interview. Being non-binary brought me so many perks, I could either be masculine or feminine, but today I decided to be both. I go to my room and I was about to open my door but something stopped me, the muffled talking of what sounds like a male being in my room! I was honestly shocked as I stepped closer to mt door, pressing my ear against it to try to listen to whomever was in my room.

    "Oh wow, their room is quite cool." started the male who was in my room, "It really is just the most." I narrowed my eyes, I had enough of this male being in my room. I quickly opened up my door and ran in, hoping to catch this male but to my surprise, no one is in there.

    I moved around my room, looking everywhere but again, I couldn’t find the male I heard. Puzzled, I decided to continue to get ready, grabbing a black outfit, which is actually a combination of two outfits put together, a black suit like top and a skirt with leggings. But before I got changed, I had a feeling of being watched, so I closed my blinds and put a cloth over my computer monitor due to the camera. My main fear was someone hacking onto my computer to somehow spy on me in my sleep.

    After I got dressed, I decided to put on some gothic makeup. After that, I put my medium wavy hair halfway up, taking out my bangs and styled them. I yawned, I had only three hours and two minutes of sleep, it reallllyyyy was going to be a long day.

    I walk out of my room, I cannot be late for my job interview, or else they won’t hire me at all. I grabbed my keys and head out the door, locking my house and I begin to head out to my job interview. It’s good that I lived quite close to everything or else it would be quite difficult to get to places.

    After ten minutes I made my way to the job, being quite early as I walked to the boss who accepted my application. Once I entered the boss’s office, I greet yourself in a very polite manner, "hello sir, my name is Y/N L/N, I’m here for the interview."

    The boss looks at me with a surprised look, he didn’t expect me to be early. "You’re Mx. L/N? I’m quite surprised, no one ever came here early, either late or on time, you may have potential." I nod, smiling lightly, "well come in, have a seat, I would like to get to know you."

    I walked over and sat in the chair right in front of his desk. I could not wait to see if I get this job, if I do, I would be making 37 dollars an hour! That’s a huge steal as my job is making characters for animated shows. The boss begins to talk; "so Mx. L/N, your application says you would like to apply for character making?"
