Agreed?

Today's The Day

I scratched the back of my head while sitting up in my bed. I have already practised the possible questions a typical interviewer may ask an average person, aiming for an internship. Last night, I barely got any sleep... not because I was nervous, but because, mum was worried. 

She got up to go get some fresh air by the window nearly three times, switched on lights of the hallways nearly ten times, went to drink water nearly hundred times, and a round trip to the washroom nearly thousand times...

I shook my head to throw the sleep out of my eyes before stepping out of the bed. Whether I am sleepy or not, I should now go get ready.

It hasn't even been seven, but still I could hear my mum go clatter-platter in the kitchen. She really needs to cut her coffee down a bit, I thought as I looked at my reflection for the last time. 

I wore the warm white coloured blouse paired with a light violet coloured pencil skirt, sponsored by Nuggets my life --  i.e.  given by Ms Blaine. I wore the new and the only heels I have to complete the dress up. I had my hairs neatly tied back in a pony tail, making my forehead look a bit big. 

I took out my resume and headed downstairs, where I was welcomed by a striking smell of fish-cakes. Well, actually cookies, shaped like fishes. 

Mum and dad were in the kitchen, doing I don't know what. Adam was sitting on the sofa listlessly. I tip-toed to the dining table so as to avoid any sort of noise I could've otherwise made. Adam opened his mouth to say something, but I shushed him. 
At this point, I just can't take my mum and dad's continuous, 'oh my gawds'. And the last thing I want this morning, is my mum pointing out mistakes in my appearance.

I picked up the cookie and turned around, proud of myself. 

Said too soon. Dad called out, "Emily, you ready?" 
I stopped, and turned around slowly to smile at him. 

He beamed at me, mum standing behind his shoulder. 

I quickly said, "Yeah, am ready... got the breakfast... already took all the necessities... am not nervous... will do it right... cool.. thanks.. love you too... bye!" 
And walked outside, really fast. 

I heard my dad laughing as mum shouted wishing me luck. 

Now, when I am outside, I am proud of myself. Why? Well, I don't need any reason to be..

I took the subway. After an hour long travel, with sweaty bodies all around me, I finally reached my station. Took a cab there, and landed straight in front of EDAM main branch. 

It is going to start now.. I thought, as I took a deep breath and made my way towards the entrance, along with other people in suits...

This one is a short chapter, and I am sorry about that. But I am just too caught up with my preparations for the big test coming up in July. Hope all of you stay safe at home during this corona phase...

My Love~~
