"Well the reason I'm nervous is because of all the pressure I have on me right now." I told Lily. "What type of pressure?" Lily asked. "uhm well like you know we are graduating Friday, and the exams, and well mostly after graduation." I said. "What do u mean by after graduation?" Lily asked.
"Ok so I know we are going to be newly grads and stuff, but Lily, where in the hell will we find our lifetime career, in a matter of time. It's not like someone is gonna jump out of a corner and offer us a job. I'm just nervous for the lifetime we are now going to have after we graduate or maybe where will we work, or what if I mess up and end up getting fired. You never know what could happen Lily the world is full of surprises, and sometimes life unexpectedly throws you one and sometimes you fall hard, and I'm just scared that something like that might happen to me." I explained to Lily.
"Alicia, you need to stop worrying about what's going to happen in the future, and start worrying about the present. Also like you said, 'the world is full of surprises'. What if the complete opposite happens and you actually get a promotion or something? huh? Or possibly something that could change your life happens. You cant just sit around worrying about something happening. Ali we are twenty-two for crying out loud. We could probably take over the world if we wanted to! Ali if you want to be successful in life, you have to take chances, then maybe something incredible happens!" Lily said to me.
"You know what Lily? Your right, I should stop worrying about what might maybe happen, and worry about the future!" I said as I was beaming. "Yea Ali, preach it girl!" Lily implied to me
*3 Days after Monday (It's Thursday)* [Btw her dream is in present tense and then once shes awake ill do the past tense thing ok]
"Alice, can you please come in to the office for one moment? I need to talk to you" The boss was saying through the phone intercom thingy. As I start getting up. I get an uneasy feeling in my stomach. I'm taking long strides through the office to get to the bosses office. As I walk out of my office everything gets quiet, and everyone in the office whips there heads to me, and all of a sudden everyone's eyes are on me. Then I stop and I give them a confused look and ask them "What? Is my hair messed up or what?" Then they all just nod no, and they all start whispering to each other. I shrug it off when suddenly I hear whispers with my name, but I keep walking confidently.
Until I stop at the bosses glass door. I don't know what to do, so I just knock on the door, and he gestures me to come in with his hand. As I walk in he tells me "take a seat, make yourself comfortable." I do as I was told and sit in one of the couches in front of his desk. I wish I had these type of couches in my office. They are very comfortable. Oh yea the boss told me to come here to talk, I wonder what he wants to talk about. I wonder what his name is?
My thought's are then interrupted when he stands up and starts talking and walking around the room. "Alicia do you no you are here?" he asks me. "Uhm you needed to talk to me." That came more then a question then a statement. "Yes Alicia, but do you know what I want to talk about?" he asks me while he looks sternly in my eyes. I shiver and I simply shake my head and I mumble "No".
"Well you see Ms. Jameson, when a company doesn't want an employee anymore they have to let them go, and do you know who that person is Ms. Jameson?" The boss asks me while still looking in my eye. I simply say "no sir". "Well Alicia, I have to let you go. Today before noon, I want you to already be gone, and none of your belongings in your office please." He says. "I understand" I say to him. He nods and says "Good now will you please excuse me I have to attend a meeting." I nod and I walk to the door and make my way out. As I'm walking someone says "So how bad was the firing" then everyone in the office starts to laugh. I simply start making my way to my office when they all start to shout things like "She got fired. I heard she slept with the boss. She is the reason Cindy got fired. I want some pie." All of that is what I could make out from everyone talking, the last one was a little weird, maybe a lot weird.
I start walking to my office again and it feels like miles away. I start walking a little faster and everything gets further and further. I start running and it starts to disappear, I run as fast as I can until I only see darkness. I fall to the ground and a round light shines a few feet from where im laying. Someone appears in the light and its the bossHe makes his way to me and he says " Ha I never liked you anyways. You were always useless. Im glad I fired you" He then laughs
*End Of Dream*
I woke up to someone laughing, I turned my head to the clock and it said 6:00 am. "Sup Alice, ready for the finals?" Lily asked. "Nope, are you?" I asked her back with a smile. "Hell no. Get ready we're going to the cafeteria to eat breakfast and last minute studying for our finals." Lily said.
I got up and made my way to my dresser and grabbed some black leggings and a big oversized off the shoulder shirt. I went to the bathroom and striped off my clothes, and I walked in the shower and turned the water on so it could be hot and took my five minute shower. I put on my clothes and dried my hair until it was semi-dry and went back to the room.
"Dang girl!" Lily said. "What?" I asked. "You look different!" Lily said. "how?" I asked. "Well you look stylish yet comfy!" Lily said. "isn't that what you already do?" I asked. "Yea but you never do it!" Lily exclaimed "you know what would make you look cuter, those fringe boots you have and a messy bun!" Lily said. It took a minute to picture that, and it kind of made sense.
So I walk in to the closet and grab my fringe boots and Lily throws me some socks. Yea Lily tends to throw stuff a lot. "You like throwing things, don't you?" I asked. she simply nodded her head. I put on the socks and slip on my boots.
I Walk over to my vanity, and I grab concealer and apply it under my eyes, then I grab mascara and apply that, and last but not least my red baby lips in 'cherry me'. Then I brush my hair throughly and left my bangs loose and I put my hair up in a messy bun.
I got up and turned around to where Lily was, she had a look on her face, I knew she was surprised. Slowly I made my way towards her and I asked "How do I look?" as I spun around, making the fringes on the boots move with me. "Ok, if I were a dude, I would definitely tap that!" Lily said while wiggling her eyebrows.
"dude, this is just my lazy outfit with a bit of you creativeness! Lils you have inspiratid me" I said. "Ali-bear I know that. I inspirate people a lot. and I have a question. why do you say inspirate and inspirated?" Lily asked. "I just don't like saying inspire or inspired. Anyways, don't we have to go to the cafeteria?" I said. "Oh yea lets go!" Lily said sheepishly with a grin.
~~~~~~~
"So what are we going to eat?" I asked. "Since its finals day, they have a buffet of breakfast." Lily said. "Oh. So that's why you woke me up early" I said.
"yup" Lily said while popping the 'p' in 'yup'.
While Lily paid for both of us I grabbed two plates and waited for Lily. Lily then came and snacthed the plate out of my hands and we digged in. Once we were done choosing our foods, we sat down in our regular seats and studied for a while.
*during first period exam Ali's Thoughts*
Ugh I hate exams. Well who wouldn't? Oh wait I know, Mr. Johnson. Blah blah blah blah blah blah 1975? hmmmm, a, b, c, or d. oh yea d! That's what she said! hehehe. Turning the page and I wanna know what question I have next. Awww, extended response. I hate those. *30 minutes later* last question. Yay. Aww, its another extended Response. At what age is it legal to have sex with someone older than yourself? Hmm. Why did I take a law course "five minutes left" Mr. Johnson said. Damn it. It was in the book Alice, calm down. Oh em gee its sixteen, its legal to have sexual relations with someone older than yourself. "Class put your writing utensils down, your time has ended" Mr. Johnson said. Haha I'm done. I did it. Now all I have to do is wait for the results.
*end of Ali's thoughts*
"Class is over, now go!" Mr. Johnson said angrily.
As I left class I waited for Lily outside of class. She came and said "What crawled up his a$$?". "Haha maybe its the stress of the test. Or the students. Who cares anyways?" I said
"yea whatever, lets go we have four more exams!" Lily said while linking her arm with mine while going to our next class.
*4 Exams later. in Lilys room*
"Do you think we should wear something else for shopping?" Lily asked
"Naw. Dude we are gonna try on a bijillion dresses, why dress up for that. Plus we look hot!" I said while wiggling my eyebrows and bumping hips with her. "Yeah, your right. Lets go" she said and she grabbed her car keys.
"TO THE MALL BITCHE$!" I said while getting in the car. "Dude chill its only two of us. for now, we have to wait for Jenny." Lily said.
Jenny is a Blonde hair, blue eyed, average, sweet, gorgeous girl.
"Ali, you can say it now." Lily said with an amused face.
"TO THE MALL BITCHE$!" I said while Lily turned on the radio. Everyone was giggling, until Lily changed the station and "Here's to Never Growing Up" came on and we strated singing!
