         "Okay, so.....how do I get to the Emerald department?" I say to myself. Ugh! My first day here and already I'm confused. Why the hell is this so big anyway?

     When I first came into Marukawa Publishing, I was told to go to the Emerald Department by a woman with short hair. Now that's fine and all, but before I could ask her where the dang department was, she ran away!

     The nerve of some people, I swear. I shake my head and look up to see a guy with papers in his hands. He's walking toward me.

    Oooooh, a person!

    "Excuse me, can you tell me where the Emerald Department is?" The guy completely ignored me. He glanced at me, then walked past me. Rude much? I turn around and follow him.

     "Hey! Wait! I need your help." I call out to him. He doesn't turn around and he starts to walk faster. His long legs taking bigger steps as he gets further away from me. Darn my shortness!

     "Hey! Come back!" I yell at him. Yelling only seems to make him ignore me more and he starts to run. What the hell man!

     I break into a run after him. He's a few feet in front of me, so I reach out my hand to grab his shoulder. Almost got him-

     I trip and fall face first to the ground.

     "Why me?!" I look up just into me to see him turn left down the grey-blue hallway. I scramble up and run after him. I make the left turn-

      Only to come face first into a person's body.

     "Jesus why!?" I yelp and fall to the ground.  I hold my head. Damn, that hurt.

     "Watch where you're going." I hear someone say above me. I look up and I'm met with a glare from a guy who looks like a bear, with dull-black hair and dark grey eyes.

      I get up and dust myself off.

      "Sorry! I was trying to ask someone if the knew where the Emerald Department is."  I straighten up and I see him studying me, the glare still on his face, but with a little confusion as well.

     "You're the new worker here?" I cross my arms and fake pout.

       "I take high offense to that." I say. He just glares at me. I'm starting thing that's just his natural look.

      "We only take hard workers here and you don't look like a hard worker." He puts his fist on his hip, his other hand just hanging. Ooooh, so he like to judge huh?
