Chapter Fourteen - Acceptance Letter
"Earth to Thea. Are you there?" My coworker said and snapped her fingers in my face
"Huh?" I said confused and blinked multiple times.
"I'm going out for lunch. Want me to bring you anything?" She chuckled lightly.
"Oh yeah. A coffee please. Extra strong. I need something to help me focus and stay awake." I smiled slightly at her.
"Okay." She smiled and grabbed her purse then walked out.
I looked down at my desk and looked at my transfer paperwork for Island Records and a letter next to it.
"Hey!" Shawn excitedly said and sat in the chair that was across from mine.
"Hi." I mumbled and shoved the letter in my desk and began filling out the transfer script.
"Whatcha doing?" Shawn asked.
"Just the regular boring paperwork." I shrugged.
"Alright. What's up? Why are you being distant?" Shawn questioned and leaned forward while putting his elbows on my desk.
"Just tired. Didn't get much sleep when I got home last night." I shrugged once more.
"And why is that?" Shawn pushed.
"Nothing, Shawn." I mumbled and tried to focus on the transcript.
"You can tell me. Come on." Shawn pushed again.
"It was nothing! Leave it alone!" I yelled at slammed my hands on the desk.
I looked around and saw people staring which made me lower my head but saw Shawn's upset face before I did.
"Let it go. Please, Shawn." I mumbled and picked up my pen once more.
"Fine." Shawn said and got up. "I have to go finish a song. See you." He mumbled.
"Shawn, don't be like that." I sighed and looked up at him.
He just continued to walk away which made me sigh again and drop my head down on the table.
"Why is life so complicated?" I muttered to myself.
"No one knows." I heard someone say which made me look up.
I saw a guy with black hair, blue/greenish eyes and two noticeable dimples in his smile. He looked about a year or two older than me.
"Can I help you?" I asked in a monotone voice.
"I was looking for Jessica Banner. I'm supposed to start a summer job here and then move back to New York and continue to job there." He said.
"Name?" I asked and turned my head towards my Mac computer.
"Connor Hastings." He replied.
I typed his name in and read through the file a bit.
"Do you have the application she asked you to sign?" I questioned.
