I wake up to the sound of my alarm going off. I grumble and roll over to turn it off. I
thought going to college I wouldn’t have to wake up early anymore. I get out of bed and head into the bathroom
to get ready for my day of classes and maybe talk to Crystal about maybe
joining Chi Omega. I talked to my mom
about it last night when I got back to my apartment. She seemed really excited that I was
considering about joining at sorority. I
leave the bathroom and go to the closet to choose my outfit for the day.
Dressed and
ready for the day I go to the kitchen and put a bagel into the toaster. I get the orange juice out of the fridge and
go over my schedule for the day through my head. I have only two classes today but along with
talking to Crystal I want to see if I can find a job nearby. Even though my parents are paying for
everything I want to get some work experience in while I’m here. I hope that I can find a job that won’t give
me too many hours because I know how important studying is. I know there is a coffee shop near the campus
and not that far away from my apartment either.
I hear the ding of the toaster telling me that my bagel is done. I put the bagel on a plate grab the cream
cheese off the counter and go sit at the kitchen table to eat breakfast.
I walk out of
the apartment building and get into my car and head to the campus for class. I finish class and head to the Chi Omega house
to talk to Crystal. The house is what
used to be a mansion that was built by one of the founders and then was given
to the school to be a dorm. I ring the doorbell and wait for one of the girls to
let me in. One of the girls opens the
door and looks me up and down.
“Can I help
you?” She asks crossing her arms across her chest.
“Yes, I was
wondering if the recruiting officer Crystal was in,” I say smiling.
“She sure
is. Come on in and I’ll get her for you,”
The girl says stepping back from the doorway to let me in.
I walk in and am
amazed at how big the entryway is. The
girl shuts the door behind us and then steps in front of me.
“Follow me
please,” The girl says as she starts walking down the hallway.
“You can wait in
here while I get Crystal for you,” the girl says pointing into what looks like
the living room with chairs and couches in it.
I walk
over to one of the couches in the middle of the room and sit down to wait for
Crystal. I didn’t have to wait long
before Crystal walked into the room. She
walked over to the couch and sat down next to me.
“Hey, I wasn’t
expecting to see you here,” Crystal said.
“I know but I
gave a lot of thought about joining and I want to be part of Chi Omega. I was wondering what I would have to do to
join,” I said smiling at her.
“Really? That’s
great. I’ll get a packet for you then,”
Crystal says and then she jumps up from the couch and scurries off to get one
of the packets for me.
When she
returns, she hands me one of the packets and I put it in my bag for safe
keeping.
“Do you know
there is another girl on campus that looks exactly like you,” Crystal says.
I looked at her
as if Crystal had grown a third head.
“Really?” I ask.
“Yeah I thought
she was you. You don’t happen to have a
twin that might be interested in joining do you?” Crystal asks as if I knew who
this girl was.
“Not to my
knowledge. But I was adopted so I
wouldn’t rule it out,” I say.
“Oh well then if
I see her again I’ll let her know about you and see if I can get her name for
you,” Crystal says.
“That would be
great thanks,” I say smiling. “I guess I
better get going now I have studying and stuff to do.”
“Oh, what are
you going to be doing?” asks Crystal.
“I’m going to
see if I can get a job near where I live,” I say.
“That’s
cool. Where are you thinking of
applying?” Crystal asks.
“There is a
coffee shop a coupe blocks away from where I live so I’m thinking of applying
there,” I say.
“Oh I know the one
that named Heavenly Coffee right?” She says getting excited. “I know the owner so put me down as a
reference and I will make sure you get the job.”
“Thank you. I appreciate it,” I say standing up and
getting ready to leave.
Crystal get up
also and walks me to the door. We say
good bye and Crystal advises me of the due date to have the packet done
by. I get into my car and leave to get
home.
When I get home
I change out of the clothes I was wearing and into clothes that I think would
look great for an interview. Happy with
my appearance; I head out of my apartment and start walking to the coffee
shop. Once at the coffee shop I ask one
of the servers if the manager is in. She
advises me that he is and has me sit at the counter to fill out an application
as she walks off and gets him. About
five minutes later the manager is standing in front of me.
