Cleo
My name is Cleo, I'm currently 20 years old and I live in New York, in a rundown apartment that I can barely afford the rent because I'm on a job hunt.
It's been a year since I finished college and I haven't been able to hold down a job for long. If I'm not mistaken which I know I'm not, I've been fired from eight different jobs already. You'd think I'd have given up already with such bad luck but I've refused to give up. I admit that with such bad luck giving up would be sparing myself the disappointments but Life is a bitch. It's always been that way.
Today is going to be different from every other day, today is the day I'm hoping to get my dream job. The keyword is hoping.

I groaned as I reached for my phone, what time was it? Looking at the screen I saw it was 7 a.m., I swiped the snooze button on the alarm and sat up on my bed.
After staring into space for a while, I got up and made my way to the balcony doors, the cold morning air blew across my face forcing me to wrap my hands around my body. I loved the cold, I loved it because it made me numb, made me horny and it was good for thinking, and right now though I just woke up I needed to think.
I needed to think about how I'd get the job, I wanted. The tech company I wanted a job at was one of the best tech companies in the country and I managed to get an appointment for a job! That was good but how will I impress the boss? He was certainly very hard to impress from what I've heard, getting an appointment alone was extremely hard. God must have been on my side for me to get it.
I thought about what I'd wear... Should I dress slutty? Nope, not my style and it'd attract unwanted attention. Ughhh, how am I going to impress him so that he'd give me the job I want? The fluffy hairball that came in between my legs jilted me from my thinking back into reality.
"Jace! Go inside, you'll get sick" I said as I shooed away my brown Lhasa apso with my foot and closed the balcony doors behind me.
Turning on the faucet, I decided to soak in the hot bath for a little while, I put some shampoo on my hair and massaged my scalp for a little while I did that I resumed my train of thought from earlier that was interrupted by Jace but it was short-lived when I realized I hadn't gotten my outfit together yet.
Hurrying out of the bathroom, I wrapped the towel around my hair and put on my robe then I opened my closet doors. I ended up wearing a blue female suit, I put my hair up in a bun and applied a little bit of makeup.
After petting Jace goodbye, I hurried out the door with my purse, file, and coffee in hand. I'll need the coffee, this is going to be so hard but it doesn't mean I won't try my best to get my dream job. The bus ride took longer than I expected maybe it was because I was extremely nervous and I couldn't stop fiddling with my fingers. I was a wreck.
"Hey," I heard a male voice say beside me, "h..hi," I replied with my shaky voice. Normally, I'm usually the one that starts conversations with strangers I think are friendly but at this moment I didn't find myself in the mood to have a conversation so I continued playing with my hands. "You seem nervous and you're dressed up. Let me guess, you're going for a job interview?" The man continued, and I simply nodded. He laughed, "Well, miss. I think it's important to also be confident when you're going for a job and not just qualified" He said as he stood up.
