  Well I better start looking for a job, I can't imagine being a burden on my parents anymore than I already have, I have to go to the company  Alison was talking about
Emma....Miss Emma!!
I was broken out of my thoughts by my history teacher Mr Gordon
"Well...anything you would like you share with the class?"
"Sorry sir" were the only words that came out of my mouth out of embarrassment as I again started paying attention to my class, hiding my face now red with embarrassment in my history book as my teacher continued with his lecture.

Being an architecture student is never easy, with loads of assignments and very honest and brutal critiques, it's quite the challenge where late nights, coffee and dark circles become your best friends, a decent sleep now becomes a luxury and your design sheets become the only thing that you care about in your life. 

The class was finally over and as usual I was surrounded by my many friends "Emma let's go for lunch" said Lisa agreeing with her me and my "gang" departed for the cafeteria that was on the ground floor of our college department building, the architecture department came under the faculty of design which made our building a very pleasant and colourful place to be in.

I had always been the popular one since school , not because I was hot and had a model figure or anything ,maybe because of my studies and my looks were also not that great, I was above average according to me but i always ended up being the popular one, the one everybody wanted to be friends with the one everybody wanted to be associated with the one everybody knew.

This popularity often took a toll on me as I never had a true friend ,  all I had were a bunch of fame thirsty girls who thought of me as their ladder to the "famous ones" and I knew they hated me, and they had all reasons to do so, well according to them, for starters I was fat. and no fat girl deserves to be famous according to these barbie dolls.  The word is enough to tell you why these girls detested me. You might think why am i still in this group knowing i was hated well i am scared to be alone and yes i have no shame in admitting this.

So that's all about my social life, my parents are the coolest ones and I could literally share anything and everything with them, my mom is a teacher and my dad is a military officer...and my sister who was working as a secretary in a finance company at the time. my parents are my support rock without them i would have been a crying and a depressed mess.

"Hey Alison, I wanted to go check out the company that had the vacancy" busy eating she looked at me under her thick layer of fake eyelashes, fluttering her eyes at me every now and then "The one with the junior assistant architect  vacancy?" With a nod I went back to eating my burger "sure...I'll come with you"  no that's not necessary i thought to myself I cannot have her with me, me getting humiliated in front of her would be the last thing I desire, giving her a sweet but fake smile I said "you don't need to come love...I'll be fine" i hope she buys it.

After the classes for the day were over I started going to my hostel room and from there to my interview, considering the fact that I was quite blessed when it came to conversing with others and I was good at designing I was quite confident I would get the job...my only worries were the time of my job that is the working hours and how would I be able to manage both the work from college and from this job , shaking all my negative thoughts away i call for a taxi and make my way to the company building, practicing my design concepts on route.

I entered the company and was surrounded by the delicate lavender  smell lingering in the air as I was admiring the classy ambiance of the place I was greeted by a gorgeous lady who was wearing a white formal shirt and a grey pencil skirt with delicate brown eyes and a nude lipstick and  looked like she was in her late 30s
"How may I help you dear?" I looked up to her and gave her my most genuine smile and said "I came for the  assistant junior architect interview" she smiled and led me to her office as we entered the office cabin she asked me to sit and said "ahh, that, alright show me your portfolio and based on that you will or will not get the job" her straightforwardly behaviour had me in awe then I started showing my designs ,one after the other, explaining each one of my designs with interest and answering her question with the best of my abilities as I finished explaining and answering her questions I looked up to her "your hired" were the only things she said before she stood up and left the office leaving me behind, i went after her and asked her about my timings satisfied with everything i came back to the hostel smiling like an idiot and feeling very proud at my accomplishment.

Finally a new start a new job....now I just had to manage both of my lives, here's hoping that everything will go smoothly and according to my plan, new job, new opportunities and hopefully a pleasant experience .

Hope you guys liked the starting. .
