"Ms. Kionati. I have to tell you something before I tell you wether or not you got the job. When you came into my office, you came ill prepared. You had no resume, the only thing you pretty much told me was your little sob story. The next time you have an interview I suggest you have a better presentation then the one you had at the last interview..."
"Im sorry Ms. Jaiti, you are right, I did a horrible job. Thank You for listening to me though and giving me a chance, thank you, good b-"
"I am not finish talking and I do not appreciate that you interrupted me like that. I was going to tell you that you got the job. I was impressed by your honesty. Most people would have made up some bullshit and looked like fools. I am also very positive that you are a hard worker, especially if you have gone to as many job interviews as you said. Now, please understand that I could have gone with a professional on this. Do not be late on Monday, you are to report to my office promptly at 7:20. Good bye..." Ms Jaiti finished waiting for her to reply, but got no reply in question so she hung up. Meigami just stood there, not believing what she had heard. But then a thought came to her like a sword to the chest. 'Did she say she could have gotten a professional, Oh My Gosh! What have I gotten myself into!' The days passed and Meigami was already getting up on Monday morning, 6:00 am. She was already dressed and was on her way to the kitchen, Meigami only had a couple of plates and cups. But of course, she had to be ghetto at breakfast, she got out a disposable red cup and put her cereal in it, then put in the milk and got a spoon and started eating. She finished around 6:23 and was out the door, in black casual pants and a red colored shirt, not tucked in by the way. She walked out of the door and rushed down to the bus stop, the bus got there around 6:40 and she was running a bit late. She was almost running, or fast walking, she looked at her watch... 6:35, the bus would be there any minute and she still needed to cove 2 blocks, she wasn't going to make it, and sure enough, she saw the bus rounding the corner...
"Ah screw you..." she said very plainly as she saw the bus disappear once the light turned green.
Then a thought struck her, she looked around, no one to the left, no one to the right, no one to the back of her, no one in front of her. She jumped up high, but didn't come down, she was flying, she had to be careful, she aint want no one to see her, she flew high, high, high, so that she looked like a bird. She then flew towards the building, now, she would get there early. She would arrive in five minutes if she transformed, but she decided against it, no need to risk it even more, being seen. She got there at about 6:50, she was going at a very slow pace, she knew she was going to be early so she went slow and steady, what would uncle Geta say if he found out someone had seen her. But then Aunt B would probably set him straight, oh she couldn't resist her, she always said that it was time that a girl came and set all those guys straight. She arrived and went to the lobby, Margarete, the receptionist as she found out to be her name, told her that Ms. Jaiti's office was on the top floor, the last door on the right.
"Thanks Maggie!" Meigami said as she walked towards the elevator. "Oh, no problem sweety!" 'Maggie' said back. Ding, the elevator door opened. She went to the top floor and went to the right door this time. She stepped in and saw no one.
"Hello, is anyone is here?" Meigami asked
"Yes, Im right here." Ms. Jaiti said. She was hidden from view by the chairs back rest. She was wearing a baby blue skirt suite, they matched her eyes perfectly. "Well, it seems that you can make a good first impression, being half an hour early. I do have to say that I am very impressed, follow me."Ms. Jaiti said as she stepped out of the room. They went towards the elevator and went 5 floors down. The doors opened and they stepped out, they stepped into a large open space full of desks and ricers, drawing desks to be precise people were all scattered. There was an open desks on a riser, The one next to it was filled by the same brown haired, brown eyed girl from the waiting room. Eperantly, there were was more then one position open.
"You will be here all day, on that empty desk next to Ms. Valese Leoan. At the beginning of every week, when you arrive, you will find your assignment on you'r desk. It is due ready to deliver by the end of the week, depending on how good your work is, thats your extra in your weekly pay. Now, your assignment is on your desk, I will come and check on you and Ms. Leoan some time later in the day, your lunch is at 11:30 and you are to be back here by 1, at the latest. Good Luck on your first day." Ms. Jaiti fnished and walked back to the elevator. Meigami walked up to the thrid riser and sat down at her desk.
"Hey, my name is Meigami, yours Valese, right?" Meigami said to the brown haired clueless girl in the desk next to hers. "Oh, my name is Valese. Where have I seen you before? Hang on let me think..." Valese went bacl to her work wth a thoughtful looke on her face. 'Wow, she is really thinking about this.
Meigami looked down and saw an envelope, she opened it, it read:
An advertising for a channel logo, an American channel, TNT.
That was it, that was all it said. Now Meigami thought about it and the obvious thing to do was to do something relating to dynamite. She looked over at Valese's paper, it had a very well drawn piece of dynamit on it with a red background that blended back to white at the corners. 'Wow, shes really good.' Meigami thought as she looked back down at her paper. 'So I interviewed for an artist advertisement position. And I made it...hmm, how am I going to explain my horrible pictures? Maybe they wont be so bad, but I guess I shouldn't hold my own breath, or make anyone hold there’s...' She finished thinking. She started to think about using the colors and do an undertone of the shape. She got to work. Lunch came and she turned to Valese,
"Hey Valese, do you want to go get something for lunch?" Meigami asked. "Uh sure why not? Lets go to that Chinese store down the street. You can get a four-piece chicken for $2.50." Valese replied.
"Are you serious, that’s perfect, cause I do not got no spare cash... least not till pay day at the end of the week. Lets go." With that they got up and went towards the elevator. They went down stairs. Before they left the lobby, "hold on Valese, be back," Meigami said to her co-worker and rushed to the desk.
"Hey Maggie, want anything to eat from the Chinese store?"
"No thank you, I'm swamped, besides if Ms. Jaiti finds out I left, I'll be trashed for sure... but thank
you."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, now go, don't leave your friend waiting for to long. Go!"
"Okay, bye, have fun doing whatever it is you do..." Meigami said and finished with a slight laugh
"Ha-ha-ha, go get your food before I call security..." Maggie said with a bit of a pout.
"Whatever, bye," and she went back to Valese.
Both girls went to the story and got some wings, and some breaded jumbo shrimp, but Meigami got an egg roll for Maggie, even though her punk ass is to proud to admit she was hungry, just make an excuse for it. It was now around 12:00 pm and Meigami told Valese that they should go over to Meigamis house, considering Valese's was all the way across town. "Hang on Valese, I got to stop by the office again, give this to Maggie, I know her butt's hungry." Once they got to the lobby they found Maggie slightly asleep, but definitely out of it. She left the egg roll on the counter. "Okay, lets go." She told Valese. They went to her apartment via walking and talked about how they came upon the job, Meigami telling her story of course, the wrong door.
After they finished discussing the story of how Meigami came opun her job, they continued with small talk, about the weather and how their morning had been. They arrived with about forty-five minutes left in their break. They entered the building and walked towards the stairs. "Sorry about this, the last time I checked the elevator was broken and I don't think that it was fixed this soon. Im sorry, but my apartment is all the way on the top floor..." Meigami said as her hand started to reach for the had rale.
"Oh no look, its fixed, than gosh, I don’t think I could make it." Valese said as she pointed to the elevator to their left against the wall.
"Oh what do you! But hey, I know I'm definately happy, this is my faverite elevator." Meigami said as she stepped in.
"Why is that?" Valese asked as she turned to her new co-worker.
"What you gonna do with al that junk, all that junk inside that trunk?!"
"That’s why..." Meigami said, the girls started laughing and just like with her brother, they started to dance stupidly.
But as soon as the doors opened on the top floor, it was as if they hadn't moved a muscle. Meigami led her to her apartment. Once they were in, Valese went and sat on the couch while Meigami went and got two sodas out of the fridge, "grapette."
"So Valese, what did you do before this job?" Meigami asked Valese as she walked over to join her friend on the couch. "Before this, I used to live in West City. There was this guy and well, I used to think of him as an angel. But then he turned into a bit of a flake. He always was either 'sick' or something always came up. I thought I would marry him, but obviously that didn't work; So once I got out of High School I moved here to Tokyo, you know, a fresh start, back home everyone thought I was an air-head..."
"Now I wonder why they thought that?" Meigami said sarcastically, Valese didn't catch it though. 'Now why does that sound familiar, getting sick all of the sudden and having something come up...' Meigami thought. "Oh and sorry bout the lack of a television. If it weren't for me getting that job I would probably be in the gutter right now." Meigami finished.
"Oh my God! That's horrible, but surely you have some family willing to take you in..."
"Unfortunately, they kicked me out. It hate them, I don't even want to think about them right no. Except for my younger brother, he's on my side. He's the only one on my side. He's ten, almost eleven. He's the only one on my side, the one who isn't being over emotional or anything." Meigami said with a smile on her face brought on by the thought of her little brother, so lovable.
"That’s horrible, but if you ever need anything or a place to stay, you can always count on me!" Valese said not believing what she was hearing.
"Thanks, now lets go, from my house its like fifteen to twenty minutes, lets go. Its our first day and I doubt the boss would like it, it sorta says lazy, you know?" Meigami said.
"I guess so. Maybe we should go..."
Both girls started towards the door and down the to the entrance of the building. As the girls were walking on the side walk, they passed a television store, a couple of T.V.'s on display in the window. They were showing the news. "Today, Capsule Corp. has released a new capsule. This new capsule had the ability to conserve foods and such items." The anchor said while there was a scene of the headquarters on a box in the corner of the screen. Meigami looked sullenly at the screen. 'I miss them, but I can't really take a trip or anything right to visit them. At least not until I can stand on my own to legs steadily and until I get settled anyways...' Valese noticed her new friend started to look down at the floor looking a bit sad.
"What’s wrong Meigami?" She asked. "Huh? Im, Im sorry, nothing's wrong, Im just thinking about something." Meigami said. Valese then responded. "About your family?" Meigami looked at her " Oh no, I'm over them, they can all drop dead, save my brother. Im just thinking about some old friends. I miss them, but I can't visit them until I get stable, you know what I'm saying?" Valese looked at her in empathy. "Yeah, I do... We better hurry and get back."
This went on for about the next week, not the actual conversation, but the routine.
