Flashback Six years ago

I hurry my ass out the door ..I don't want to miss the class party. I stop Short when I see Kane..he seems to notice me and his mouth slightly parted , I blush embarrassed then he grins " you look really hot " he says and I blush even harder . "You think?"I ask and I mentally facepalm myself." No I know"he says and then he pulls me to his backyard and I frown confused. There's only one thought running through my head. I'm going to be late but I don't care as long as Kane's here. He stops and looks at me again . "Why'd you pull me here Kane I'm going to be late again !"I lament and he chuckles."you just rhymed babe ".babe??.I ignore the thought of my lateness as my heart pounds wildly in my chest. He leans forward and then he pulls a strand of hair that was stuck to my lips."you're beautiful but tell the other guys you're taken will ya ?"he says confusing me. Since when?."Since when?"I ask voicing my thoughts and  he laughs , winking he walks away.oh my God. I push myself off the wall and race after the bus.curse you Kane !!.

Reality
"Marcy, for heaven's sake !! " Candice calls pulling me out of my reverie."Calms you bitch!"I retort and she  screams frustrated. Someone is horny today. Sighing , I shrug on my jacket and lace my favorite pair of boots and jog down the stairs. She scans my outfit and then she grins "I'm glad you're making an effort". She's commenting on the little makeup I'd done. Rolling my eyes I slide into the passenger seat up front.Soon she's in the driver's seat reversing out of our driveway and I can't help but feel like a freaking d'e ja vu victim.
The glossy brick walls I'd visited once over the summer come into view and I just want to pull my door open and race back to the house...butt I know Candice will pull me by the leg before I even take a second step. As if reading my thoughts she glances at me " don't even think about it ". 
"Now who's the possessed one" I mutter but she hears me , earning me a glare.
"You know you can't keep shying away from your dream , be nice ..hey you can't stay at home forever..bye I'm going to go have a quickie with Jace"she says as she jumps out of her seat and hails a cab ."Extra! for real!" I call back and her chuckle rings in my ears. I lock up the car and then I head inside luckily only a few people spare me a glance . I've dreamt of being a PR agent for as long as I can remember and there was no better place to intern than at LK holdings one of the top companies in New York . Luckily this year I'd get a step closer to my dream.

" Can I help you ? " the lady at the front desk asks . She stares at me like I'd killed her husband or something.
" I'm Marcy Adams , a new intern for PR" I tell her and she looks at me for about a minute before she types away on her computer.
" Take the elevator to the sixth floor " she says and I thank her even though she ignores me.

I get checked in , sign the necessary paperwork and I'm given a briefing along with the other interns.I heave a sigh of relief when we're told that that'd be all for introduction.
"I know right " a delicate voice says and I turn around and I'm face to face with a guy who looks somewhat Asian with jet black hair . I smile at him.
" Totally "
" I'm Jonas lee " he introduces himself. An intern for Technical department.
"...Marcy adams , marketing department " I respond and he nods
" Head to your various floors and meet your designated heads! " the lady who'd introduced herself as Mrs Tulane calls out and we wave goodbye.
I press 6 again and the doors are about to close when a neatly polished shoe steps in first then the other. I look up . Finely gelled black hair , it's a guy in a grey suit . Definition of neat.
" Good morning " I greet bowing my head a little. He presses the button 8 ..the last floor . Definitely a high personnel. He turns to look at me and his eyebrows dip a little . Shock ? Disgust?. I can't tell.
" You must be new.. or an intern ,I don't think I've seen you around before " he says observing me .
" Yes sir" I say and try as much to avoid eye contact . Luckily the elevator stops and I race out after giving another bow .
