After having failed her entrance exams Charis' dream of becoming a Doctoe was no longer an option.

Teacher: Charis you scored a 14...

Charis: That's not so bad...

Teacher: out of 530

Charis: oh...

Teacher: You said in your application you always dreamed of being a doctoe but I don't think that's an option for you now. Try again next time, if you're looking for any jobs there are some job offer sheets at the front office.

Charis returns home devastated. "I guess Aunt Julia was right" she says to herself as she prepares herself some instant noodles for dinner. "Oh no this is the last noodle in the pack, guess I have to go to get some more tomorrow" Just as Charis sat down at the table her phone rang. "I hope its not dad, oh its just Arthur" she picks up the phone.

Arthur: How did the exams go?

Charis: It went great

Arthur: That wasn't very reassuring, you failed right? 

Charis: Yeah, I'm gonna need to pick up a job to pay for the entrance fee for my next try

Arthur: What are you gonna say to your family in the mean time? 

Charis: I'm just hoping they don't ask, by the way where are you?

Arthur: Good luck. I'm at the bus stop like 20 minutes away, why?

Charis: We ran out of noodles

Arthur: I'm not buying you anymore you need to eat real food

Charis: I'll quit the day you solve a murder case

Arthur: I don't appreciate your teasing, I'll be the best detective you know just you wait. people will be begging me for conferences and autographs 

Charis: Okay good luck till then, see ya when you get home.

Arthur: Bye

As Charis devours her noodles, she notices the job application sitting on the table, she picks it up and begins reading through it. Charis notices a position as a janitor at the college "Technically I wouldn't be lying if I say they let me in right?" she quickly opens her laptop and applies perfect now I just need to wait for an answer.
