Chapter 1...

10 years later...

What am i doing with my life? I am 25 years old and i have come this far only to achieve nothing. I don't even have a decent job but my parents can't know about that. They are over-achievers and that is the main reason i haven't seen them since i graduated from university. Hey, don't get me wrong i am not some dumb black kid some people peg me off to be but it is so hard to get a job in Toronto. It is such a big city and everyone is so busy with their lives, they don't care for what I might be going through. I am not self-centered either but come on, can they not see that a lady is a pain. Why can they not understand that a girl is in dire need of a job? Do i have to spell it out for them? I mean why can't they just- wait a minute, what is that constant ringing ? OH SHIT, ITS MY PHONE.

"Hey Mee Mee, what's up?" Nessie Rivers said from the other end of line. We have been best friends since i can remember. It used to be the three of us; Nessie, Alex and I. We were inseparable but- no way I am thinking about that now. I know you are thinking, what kind of name 'Nessie' is? She got teased in school a lot but she always had Alex and I to back her up.

"Ness, why on earth are you calling me? You know i need to be alone right now." That came out a bit harsh than i wanted it to. But ooh well, I don't think she noticed because she sounded way too excited. Why? What's there to be so excited about?

"YOU GOT THE INTERVIEW. I CAME THROUGH FOR YOU BABE." She yelled so loud i could have sworn that people on my side of the line must have heard her.

What on earth is the talking about? What interview? What - STRATO'S RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL. "WAIT I GOT THE INTERVIEW?" I yelled back, not caring the about the people in the cafe with their heads turned at me indicating i really should keep it down.

"YES! It's nothing big but you should show up for the interview. Start from somewhere Meecasa. You really deserve it." Oh how i loved Nessie, she had always been there for me.

"Okay i will. I promise you, i will. Thank you so much."

"No problem. I love you"

"Me too." I ended the call. Ness did it again. She always had no trouble getting what she wanted especially when she sets her mind to it. I didn't realize how late it was till i looked at my watch, 11:30pm. It is definitely about time to get home, i need that rest for tomorrow. Yes, the interview is tomorrow. The fact that it was last minute and Ness pulled through, now that i will always be grateful for.
