Sierra: And maybe being dramatic.

Um, excuse me, Sierra, Miss Insecure About Everything!

Me: I’m not being dramatic! This is serious!

Sun: What time is the interview?

Me: Five minutes!

Sun: Who is doing the interview?

Sierra: Hector.

Athena: Oh. I thought this was actually something serious.

My eyes widened, and I began pacing the floor, almost bumping into everyone.

Me: This is serious!

Athena: It’s literally an interview with the guy you’re dating.

Sierra: You think Hector’s actually going to give him the job?

Athena: No!

Sun: I don’t know. He seems to really like her.

Athena: Exactly why he’s not going to give him the job.

Athena: He’s probably going to just put him in his place.

Athena: Ya know, embarrass him.

I chewed on the inside of my cheek and stared at Hector’s office door. While Evelyn was doing God knew what with Dad to keep him distracted, Hector had asked me to come in today to oversee his interview with Eric, and I was havingNONEof this!

All I wanted was to crawl back into my bed and cry myself to sleep because Hector had actually decided to give that asshole an interview. I needed to pass, but not this badly. I should’ve never opened my big mouth.

Between begging to give him blow jobs all day and promising to never be a brat again, I had pleaded with him to not let me come today. I didn’t want to watch him give a job to a man that I hated just to get me a good grade in the class.

In fact, I would do close to anything to get out of it.

Athena: You’re going to be fine.

Athena: He’s not getting the job!

Me: You don’t know that!

Me: If he does, then I’m going to have to see his face even more during the week.

Me: I will literally throw up if that happens.

Sierra: Drama hehe

The elevator dinged, and I shoved my phone into my pocket, squeezed my eyes closed, and whined. Why was this happening to me?! Why was this happening to me?! Why was this happening to meeee?

When I reopened my eyes, Professor fucking Eric stepped out of the elevator. His hair was greased back like a wannabe gangster. He had on a suit that looked way too big for him. And this goddamn man was looking straight at me.

Me!
