The sun was out and bright in all it’s beautiful glory, the sky was blue, and clouds were fluffy. There was no indication of a single weather change.
And below this beautiful, bright, and sunny weather were the Clintons–huddling together to take a picture with their daughter, Sophie Clinton, who was graduating from college. Mr and Mrs Clinton faces were beaming with smiles, they were super proud that their beautiful daughter had finally graduated from college and would now be an official member of society.
Her two younger siblings were also there, Maria and Alex Clinton who also looked proud of her and happy that she was done with college.
But the happiest of everyone else amongst them was Sophie. She was happy that she was finally done with college, those dreadful nights, those moments that she thought she wouldn’t make it out alive, but she weathered the storm and ride the wave and came out on top.
The cameraman told them to smile at the camera, in which they did and then a picture was taken, later to be hanged on the mantle piece, as a reminder of this glorious day.
Sophie was prepared to find a job. A stable job that she could make her some money, so she don’t have to depend on her family anymore, and give her experience to be part of the working class.
And nothing was going to stand in her way.
****
It’s been three months since Sophie graduated, yet for some reason she just couldn’t find a job. She was joking to think that she could get a job within three months of her finishing from college.
All the jobs she applied either wanted her to have working experience or they would say that she doesn’t have the required qualification for the job. Which pissed her off, like how do they expect her to have a job experience when she just graduated from college about three months ago.
She felt frustrated, she scrolled through the website that she has been using to apply for job applications. Submitting her resumé and hoping that they deem it worthy for them to call her back.
She heard her phone beep with a notification, rushing to it thinking it was probably one of the companies that she applied for that have finally answered her.
The disappointment on her face when she saw that it was text from her friend Melody, she rolled her eyes and dropped her phone and continued her job searching. Another message was sent to her phone, it was from Melody, again. Sophie picked up her phone to see what she wanted from her.
The message said that Sophie should come see her, that she has something important to tell her. Sophie didn’t want to answer it at first, but then she realize maybe it was something important, so she should probably answer her, she asked her where is the place? Melody replied ‘at the coffee shop down the street.’ Sophie replied, ‘I am on my way.’
She pushed back her chair stood up from it and went to her closet, picking out a grey sweatshirt and baggy jeans–it was freezing outside even though it was autumn.
Nobody was home at the moment, so she made sure to lock the door behind her as she made her way to the coffee shop to meet Melody.
On getting to the coffee shop, she open the door, her eyes scanned the small shop to see if she could spot Melody, Melody saw her and waved her hand, Sophie saw her and walked up to her, she sat down on the chair adjacent to Melody.
“So why did you call me here?” Sophie asked.
“Well, good afternoon to you I guess.” Melody remarked sarcastically, causing Sophie to roll her eyes at her. “So I called you here cause I have a job opportunity for you.” Melody carries her cup of coffee, drinking out of it, she place it back on the table.
