I wrapped my arms around myself and held on tight as I walked through the crowded streets of Chicago.

I was determined to make it to my first day of my new internship on time but from the looks of traffic it wasn't looking good for me.

I was new to this town and didn't know where many things were quite yet. At this point I was only 50 percent sure I was walking in the right direction of where I needed to go.

I moved as fast as the busy sidewalks allowed taking quick glances at the directions I had Google mapped on my phone.

According to my directions I was almost there. I had a feeling today was going to be a good day for me. I took one last look at my directions to make sure I was turning on the right street.

A door opened accompanied by a person walking out of it and before Lapis could stop or walk around her she had already ran right into her.

"Whooah! Hey hey do you not watch where you're going. God some people. This is a new shirt!" I didn't want to look up and see the person that went with the voice that was yelling at me.

When I did I saw exactly what I was expecting. A woman not much older then myself stood in front of me covered in the coffee I had made her spill. The two points that stood out to me aside from that were her square glasses society would deem as nerdy and what had to be no less then four inch heels with an odd green hue.

"I'm so sorry. I was looking at my directions really quick to make sure I was on the right street. I'm a new resident here. I don't really know where anything is yet." I wanted to kick myself. What had started out as an apology had turned into an explanation.

"Yeah yea save it. I've heard it all before." The woman looked to her watch and an even more irritated look settled on her face.

"I don't have time to go home and change so thanks to you I get to go to work in this." The woman pointed to her ruined clothing.

"I'm terribly sorry." The stranger walked away before I was able to finish my apologies.

I was left behind to deal with the looks of people who saw the whole scene. I walked forward trying to ignore the snickers they gave me.

Eventually I found myself at what was hopefully the correct destination.

After making my way through the elegant revolving door I headed towards the help desk. My heart started to race as I got closer. I felt like it was the first day of school and I'm going up to ask the teacher a question I should already know the answer to.

"Hello. Could you help me?" I speak clearly refusing to let my fears get the best of me.

"Of course dear. What is it you need."

"Could you tell me what floor I could find Diamonds Incorporated on?"

"Floor 23 and the elevator is right there." The woman pointed to a huge silver box on the other side of the room

"Thank you so much-" I look to the name tag sitting on her desk. "Pearl."

"You're very welcome." Pearl smiled at the use of her name.

Once inside the elevator I click 23 lighting it up on the panel. I take deep breaths getting myself ready to begin my first day as an intern.

The doors opened to all the sounds you would expect to hear in an office. Fingers vigorously typing away on keyboards, drawers opening and closing as countless amounts of papers are being filed, phones ringing and being answered with a polite "This is Diamonds Incorporated how may I assist you."

I stood admiring it until a woman with what I could only assume was a terrible spray tan approached me.

"What are you just standing there for?"

"Oh umm sorry I'm a new intern here. Not exactly sure who I'm supposed to talk to."

"Your boss will be in there." The large woman pointed to a door leading to a private office.

"O-okay. Thank you." The woman laughed at me.

"Good luck. You're going to need it." That should have been my first warning sign but I thought she was just trying to scare the newbie.

I knocked twice at the door and waited.

"Come in."

The moment I entered the room my heart leaped into my throat. Her back was to me but I knew who it was. She was looking out the windows that lined an entire wall of her office. Looking out over the city in green four inch heels.

She began to turn around causing my heart to only increase in speed.

How is it that I haven't even started my first day and I already have a boss that doesn't like me.

She took a step back. I could tell by the look on her face that I was the last person she had expected her new intern to be.

She stood in front of me with an expression that made me sick to my stomach.

"Why hello again."
