Continuing Soap Opera, it's now part 2

 Bun did not made it to university this year, it's due to the interview. Bun took her portfolio to the architecture program interview, she happen to have a flu, as teacher reviewing her portfolio, she stare down at her own design, trying to not sneeze, teacher didn't ask too many questions, finally come to a picture of a glass building.
"Glass is tricky to draw." teacher remarked.
"yeah..." Bun looks down, trying really hard not to sneeze. Teacher look at a few other pieces, made some remark. But because Bun is trying really hard to hold back the sneeze, she answered most of the remarks with a "yeah..." or "true.."

So that is the reason for her not make it. 'I must refine my portfolio', Bun thought, over the summer, Bun disappeared from all her friends. Not making it to university is extremely embarrassing, she's not even sure how she should live her life. But she is strong, already thinking of plan to prepare portfolio for next year. She decide to also take a co-op class, so she can put it in the letter she'll have to write for the program she's applying to.

Long story short, the second year she failed again. She really should just start looking for a co-op, last year her effort is not too much, as she's deeply depressed by not making it to university. 

On the day to interview at co-op, downstairs, she saw someone familiar, but she can't recall who he is, he pushes the door open really wide, she immediately get the gesture and quickly hop inside the building. As she walked into the co-op, she is amazed at how beautiful the office looked, she can't believe there are such pretty offices, and it is for her to enjoy (if she made it), large windows from ceiling to almost floor, all computers have two screens, and the person interviewing her is super hot. But for some reason, her mind wonder off to the boy who opened the door for her. 'stop! This is serious.' Bun thought to herself, now is not the time to think of friendship, human connection or romance, 'I must have my best first impression on this manager.' She tries hard to not shake so obviously, as a year of not making it to school really traumatized her. The manager doesn't seem to mind.
"Look at this bourcher, how would you promote this location? would you be doing something differently?" He asked.
Bun carefully looks at the bourcher, trying to see if there are anything she can improve. this broucher is very perfect, but there can be more improvement done to it. "Over here, it's a bit empty, I think other than the building, there should be close up of a few locations, it'll make this page much more interesting, people can understand it better." Bun's trying to pull something out of minor imperfection, and is being really serious about it.

After a few round of questions, the manager told her she can wait for them to contact her if she gets hired. pretty satisfied with her answers to his questions, she feel a bit of confidence coming inside of her, but still very worried. 'I'm gonna go home and treat myself a hot chocolate!' she thought.

In the evening, she soaked herself in bubble bath, closed her eye, falling asleep in the bathtub. Suddenly, she woke from her familiar rang tone, what?! who calls at this time, it's 7pm. Worried it might be a important phone call, she jumps out of the bathtub, wrap herself in towels, and break out of washroom rush to answer the phone, but missed it, 'god damn it', she dialed call back, and miraculously, the person picked up, this usually don't happen 'Yay!' she think to herself, "Hello,"
"Hi," it's the manager! "I want to inform you, you made it, you are hired."
'This is unbelievable!!' , "Ahhh! Yay!" Bun cried out of joy. oops. 
"Good energy!" the manager don't seem to be annoyed, he seem to enjoy her overreaction, "Are you available to come to work the day after tomorrow?" 
"Yes," This time Bun is having self control.
"Great, I'll see you then. Also, I'll forward you some documents, sign them and send it back tomorrow."
"Ok."


Bun is looking inside mirror, her messy curls, tight skirt wrapped around the waist of her buttoned shirt, a big bag to place her hard copy documents. 'Ok, ready to head to work!' She joyfully headed out.

Upon arriving, she see heads turn to look at her sexy figure, 'I must stay rational this time, so good impression can last.' Bun thought to herself, as she is always very dramatic, and soon people won't notice her good looks from her yelling and hunch back, and vogar behaviour. And on top of, that, there are always issues with her no matter where she went. 
"Hi," Manager noticed her, "Here is your station." he directed her to a temporary station, "Later Jessica well train you with the basics," 
"Ok, I have my notebook ready!" Bun cheerfully responded. Then, she noticed, the boy who open the door for her the other day, his chubby roundness, 'today is my lucky day,' she thought to herself. and it only got better, he went far a few stations ahead, and took a seat, before he went to his seat, he quickly lift his eyes to look at her. She immediately felt a sweetness filled her heart. 'concentrate, focus,' she warned herself.

Bun sits at her desk nervously, took out her notebook and a pen, ready to write everything down, a very savy capable but also fashionable girl without any make up on walked towards her, 'oh god I wish I can make a good impression by not disappoint.' Bun thought to herself, the girl waved her long greyish blond hair, "you must be Bun?" "Yes, Je...." Bun shyly hint she recognized she might be Jessica.
"Yes, Jessica." She sat down, and started introducing her the basics.

In the blink of an eye it is lunch time, Bun is too shy to ask to go to lunch, Jessica and others suggested it's lunch time, Bun is doubting if she should get up as well, then she sees Chubby round, 'Oh! the boy in the park', OMG she remembered. She wish she can get up and walk next to him, but she feel like she's been nailed onto the chair, and magic happened, he stopped as he walk pass by her, then started walking again, she carefully and quickly got up, seeming carelessly followed him. He slowed down, and they are semi walking next to each other. 'Oh god, I must focus, I must stay in the company.' She thought, they walk in to the elevator, there are a lot of people, she happened to be separated from him, a thought of disappointment 'focus, I must stay in the company." she told herself. as the elevator door opens, she walked out catching up with Jessica, without turning to look at the boy, it might be cruel, but that's the only reasonable action for her at the moment.
