Secretly A Computer

The Interview Day

Ebony lived a happy life in the house, but she wasn't allowed to go to school. She was homeschooled until college, when her parents said she looked like a regular college student and was allowed to go. Her father was a teacher in a college called ''St. Stephen's". He was a biology teacher there.

Her interview day at the college soon came and Ebony was very nervous. She tried to dress smartly, and wore a white coloured T-shirt with a denim upper and blue denim jeans. Her parents also tried to dress "smartly".

They finally reached the college. She entered and saw many people roaming around the grounds. Some were sitting under trees reading books, some were gossiping, some were playing games and others were just walking around.

They knocked on the door to the principal's office and a strange, strict voice struck their ears, saying, "Come in!". They went inside and Ebony saw beautiful wooden walls with trophies and pictures kept on various shelves.

On the right hand side was a teacher sitting on a white coloured armchair in front of a large oak desk. He was, without a doubt, the principal of the school.

"Good Morning, please take a seat." The principal said, motioning to three comfortable looking chairs in front of he desk. Ebony sat down in between her parents.

"So, shall we start?" said the principal with a smile.

"Yes, of course!" Ebony's father said, leaning forwards on his chair.

"I will give you 5 minutes for a question that I am going to ask," said the principal.
"Okay."
"If your house is on fire, and you may only take two non-living things out of the house and the rest gets burned down, what would you take?" the principal asked.

Ebony pondered over the question and thought carefully about the two things she could take. Meanwhile, the principal and her parents went off to another room to discuss something. After 10 minutes the principal and Ebony's parents came back to her.

"Have you made your decision?" The principal asked.
"Yes," Ebony said. "The first thing I will take is my wallet, because I have money in it and credit cards, and without money nobody can live. The second thing would be my bookshelf, if I take it, I will also be taking all the books in it. I love my books and I don't want to lose them."

The principal smiled and stared at Ebony's hands, which were clutching a book. "Okay, I can see a book in your hand. What is the title of the book and what is the book about?" he asked.

"This book is called St. Clare's, it is about three friends which are new to the school and are still rather unfamiliar with the school, then one day, one of the friends are kidnapped and they start an investigation to find the friend." Ebony explained.

"Very well explained, Ms. Maxwell. I see you love stories about mysteries, don't you?"
"Yes."
"Okay, then. Congratulations! You have passed the interview, we will see you again on the test day which is the 24th Of October. Thank you for choosing St. Stephen's!"

The principal bid them goodbye and they left the room together, with Mrs. Maxwell proudly running her daughter's head and Mr. Maxwell in a very happy state.
