interview

Introduction

Hi, I'm Tina, timid, intelligent, nice? Maybe not. But let's go with nice for now and AWKWARD.
My qualifications you may ask?
A degree in fashion, amazing at cooking instant noodles, and highly qualified at being awkward at very possible situation that involves direct or indirect contact with homo sapiens, except for my parents, my brother, Nik and my best friend, Chloe. Uhh if only I could say this for my interview!
But does anyone ever have honest resumes? No they don't. My resume was just as boring as Mr Gachowki's tea cup collection.

-●-●-●-

Tick tock tick...the clock goes on. Any time now Tina...you got this! Uhhh!! The receptionist filing her nails calls on candidate 3. I'm next!
I take a look at my resume once again. A job at Perfit! Perfit was a leading designer store, where I'd dreamed of working since I was a teen. Today, I was dressed to impress, trying my best to make a decent first impression. My toes throbbed in pain, restricted in those kitten heels. Why?!
My palms were sweaty and I needed some Clotivation. Every time I was nervous, I'd call up my best friend Cloe. She somehow manage to not only calm me down but also make me feel confident.
She picks up on the third ring and reassures me with her everyday pep talk...what would I do without her?

The receptionist leads me into the cabin, with a dazzling smile which I return with my own dorky one.
I'm sitting in front of Cruella de Vil and tapping my feet to the rythm of some catchy tune I heard on the radio. She gives me a pointed look which immediately makes me stop the tapping.

Enter Alyssa Reynolds. Hair pulled into a bun, a blouse tucked in a tight pencil skirt and that tight lipped smile. Wow. How very typical.
She eyes my resume with her lips pursed, absorbing in every detail.
"So, this is the first job you're applying for?"
"Ye...yes ma'am", I manage to stutter. Well, it is scientifically proven that attractive people make you nervous...hmm...
"A recommendation letter from Helen. Impressive, I must say.", she reads, gettinge out of my thoughts.
"Uhh yeah...I've spent my last three summers as an intern there."
"So what made you choose fashion designing? I see you have quite the fashion sense we're looking for.", she said looking straight into my eyes and then at my outfit. Gosh I hated eye contact.
"Oh thank you. I don't wanna sound too cheesy, but fashion is my passion...I guess it all started when my mom got me a toy designing and sewing set for my 8th birthday."
"Oh I see. Just so you know, you're applying for a job as my personal secretary, and you will only be assigned as a designer after I see the right potential in you. Alright then, we'll let you know by tomorrow morning", she says giving me that tight lipped smiles again. How are her teeth so white? She raises her eyebrow at me.
"Ohh umm thank you for you time Ma'am. Good day."

I stumble out of my chair and dart towards the door. Why is the freaking door not opening?! I use all my strength and pull the door. " It's a sliding door." My cheeks burn with embarrassment, as I glance back and mutter a thanks to Alyssa.

I get in my car and drive straight to Chloe's.
