Ok, so this was just a result of boredness, middle-of-the-night (at 1am) delusions, and...did I say boredness? This was just a random thought that popped into my head. And here's the result. I guess I'll say more at the bottom?
"What do you mean you got me a job?" I nearly choked on the decaf coffee I was drinking along with the rest of the McDonald's breakfast we bought that morning.
"Yes. It'll give you something to do, instead of just being here all day doing nothing." My mother said, her back to me as she was washing dishes at the kitchen sink.
"But it's summer! I think I'm entitled to a summer where I don't have to do anything." I rolled my eyes, because I already knew that wasn't a good enough excuse for her. Nothing ever was. Not even this. "I think that after working my ass off for two years, I can take two month off before I have to go straight back to school again." I scoffed as I readjusted my black-rimmed glasses as they slipped down my nose in frustration.
"Well, don't worry. This job—this internship applies to your college major, and what's better is that you'll be getting paid for it." That last part caught me off guard, making me pause mid chew as I was eating my breakfast sandwich. I quickly swallowed the (this proves how much of a biology nerd I truly was) bolus [and nearly choking once again] and with a cough:
"How did you manage that?" I asked her, wiping my hands on the paper towel in front of me.
"One of my co-workers told me about it. She said that it's a pretty big program for those who are biology majors." She said, drying her hands on the towel and turning to face me. I let out a sigh.
"But—" She cut me off.
"Well, it would put you to good use, instead of just being on the Internet all day, playing your video games." She stared me down, forcing me to look away and accept my defeat.
"What do I have to do?" I asked, scratching my head.
"That is for you to find out. You have an interview tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock." She said as she disappeared off to her room, and returning after a few seconds with a big white envelope in her hands. She handed it to me. "Here's all the info."
"Where is this place anyway?" I asked as I undid the metal clasp that sealed the envelope and removed all the papers to look through.
"It's at the Starfall Medical Facility." She said as she began to dry and put dishes away. I continued to read the papers.
"Says here they're looking for college freshman who have taken four years of biology in high school, with—" I thought this next part was unusual, because it was far too specific, and too coincidental with my education history. "—At least two of those years being taught at a university level."
"See? That's why I got it for you." My mother sat down next to me.
"But you said 'interview'? Then how do you know if I'll even get the job?" I asked, looking towards her as she put her silvery brown hair up with her scrunchie.
"Because the advisor wants to talk to you. He said that with your "knowledge and background that you would be beneficial to the program". She made sure to use air quotes as she said that me.
"Well, who's the advisor?" I said, grabbing a pen in order to fill out the forms that were in the envelope.
"Umm. I don't remember his name. That's why you find out tomorrow." I rolled my eyes, because of course she wouldn't remember. My mother always had problems with remembering things. Things that I always that were important.
The next morning, I dreaded getting out of bed. It was eight in the morning. And I was accustomed to waking at twelve in the afternoon because it was summer. I showered, threw on a nice white shirt, skinny black tie, along with my slacks, dress shoes and coat. Business attire if you will. I fixed my hair, keeping my usual 'stylish but messy-hair' style. I prepared my messenger bag with my laptop, and the papers that I had filled out the day before. With my iPhone and keys in my pocket, I headed out to Starfall Medical Center, only a few miles into the city. I threw on my headphones and listened to some Red Hot Chili Peppers songs that I had downloaded a few nights before.
The directions in the letter told me to go to the lecture hall in the facility. I assume this is where the med students met for lessons and things like that. The place was empty, which led me to believe that I was in the wrong place. I guess it was a good thing I got there early with some time to spare.
"Umm…is there anyone here?" My voice echoed throughout the empty hall.
I heard the sound of the double doors open behind me. A woman appeared, and with the way she was dressed, it looked like she was a secretary of some sort.
"Are you Mr. Monarch?" She asked me, surprisingly, with a smile on her face.
"Uhh, yes. I'm here for the…interview for the…internship." I still really had no full idea of what I was getting into.
"Ahh yes. I was sent to tell you that the meeting has been moved to the Professor's office. Now if you will please follow me, and I will take you there." She motioned for me as she quickly drew open the doors and started to walk.
"Oh, uhh thanks." I followed quickly in pursuit.
We arrived at a courtyard that was lush with plants decorated everywhere. Surrounding the courtyard were corridors, all leading to different offices, I assumed, as we continued down the hallway.
"You may head in there now. He is expecting you." She said, but I didn't quite pay full attention as I was still looking around.
"Oh, great. Thank you." I said as I quickly stepped through the threshold and the door closed quietly behind me.
I walked into an extravagant office. The walls were lined with numerous bookcases, all filled with books and medical journals. I heard a voice talking on the phone at the desk ahead of me. The office chair was around, so I couldn't see who, exactly, was talking. But whoever it was, finished the phone call, and spun around to meet me face to face.
"Please come take a seat. I've been expecting you." The way he said that made me cringe for some reason. The man in front of me: black suit, with a white lab coat on top, dirty blonde hair, and…sunglasses. But, it wasn't sunny. Although there was an amazing sight of the courtyard down below through the massive windows, today was n overcast day. It wasn't really the type of weather that called for sunglasses. I silently laughed in my head as I headed for the seat in front of the desk.
"He resembles Albert Wesker so much…it's uncanny". I thought as I grabbed the forms from my bag, and placed it on the floor next to the chair. But as I sat down, I was not prepared for the surprise that laid in wait, right in plain sight. My eyes widened as the golden nameplate sitting on the desk caught my attention. It read, 'Albert Wesker'.
So yeah. That's what I wrote. Hopefully you liked it. And if you didn't...well...then...okay. I'm still a noob at writing (if you can't tell). So, if you liked it, please R&R. I don't know if I'll continue it or not. I have a bunch of others stories that I started that I wanna get back to. But I mean, if you like it, then I could do my best to write more. I do have a kinda plot already planned in my head. Also, my friends (you know who you are) tell me what you think too. I'd appreciate it. Ok. I've taken up too much of your time already. Thanks for reading. :D If you have any questions or anything, leave it in a review or PM me directly. :D
