The Promise Of The Rose
Chapter 2 – Interview
Serena looked around at the unconscious bodies around her, they creeped her out so she dusted herself over, picked up her schoolbag and walked at a brisk pace towards the address.
When she got there, she double checked the address to make sure she wasn't mistaken, for she was standing outside the gates of a mansion.
Pressing a button on the wall, Serena eyed the huge building. A woman's voice pulled her out of her trance.
"Yes?" It came out of the speaker.
"Um, I'm here for a job interview." She spoke, holding down the button.
"Ah, yes. Please, come on in." The Huge gates opened slowly and a middle aged woman came to greet her.
"This way please." She motion for Serena to follow.
Serena was taken to a room, with some other girls, also there for a job interview.
During her wait, the other girls were each taken, one by one, into another room. Serena was the last to be called in. She was asked to take a seat in an office, in front of a large desk. On the other side sat a young woman in her early twenties.
"Hello, Serena." She read the name off a form.
"Umm, hi." Serena sat nervously, twitching her hands.
"Now, this is just an interview, don't worry, your position won't be decided on this, we just have to find out all your details."
"Oh, okay."
"So, let's start with your age. How old are you?"
"I'm sixteen."
"Ah, so you're still in school?"
"Yes." Serena thought for a second. "That won't affect anything will it?"
The woman smiled.
"No."
They talked through some more details and the woman led Serena out into another room where the rest of the girls were. They were then asked to line up.
Serena stood 6th in the line of 8 girls and, as she looked at them, she realised that none of them were wearing a school uniform, meaning that she was the youngest candidate.
All the girls were then instructed to stand with their heads down and look at the floor.
Serena closed her eyes, she couldn't stand the tension and nervousness, and she thought she could do something clumsy at any minute, so tried to concentrate. She heard the door open.
A young man walked in and stepped towards the first girl in the line. He lifted up her chin so she could look at him. He studied carefully her face, from her hazelnut-brown hair to her emerald-green eyes, tanned skin and rosy pink lips. Her head dropped back down as he let go and he took a step back to look at her body; curved, and slim.
He turned his attention to the next girl. 30. Hair dyed blonde. He lifted up her make-up covered face. In his opinion, she wore far too much make-up, her eyes covered in mascara. Her dull grey eyes looked into his and her bright red lips curved into a smile. He let down her head and moved to the next girl.
She had pale skin and dark hair, as he lifted her head up, he could see the delicate curves on her face. He took a step back to look at her, she was stick-thin.
He moved along the row of girls repeating the same actions, until he got to Serena.
He took one look at her long blonde hair and smiled. As he lifted her chin up with his hand, Serena remembered the man who did the same thing to her earlier, and for a moment, she wished she could meet him again to thank him properly. When she looked at the young man in front of her, her eyes widened as she realised he was the same man from before. He stroked her cheek with his thumb and winked at her as she looked into his eyes. Smiling, he dropped her head gently and looked at the last two girls.
He moved away to the woman who interviewed the girls.
"Her." He said, pointing to his chosen girl.
The woman called out.
"Number six: Serena Tsukino."
Serena looked up at the woman and the young man. He smiled at her and walked out.
Serena was taken back into the office.
"Well done Serena. Now, you need to bring all of your belongings with you tomorrow at nine a.m sharp. You will start then. You will be living here from then on. Don't worry, you will be given more details tomorrow."
"Nine? But I have school tomorrow."
The woman chuckled.
"Don't worry. We have a schooling system here. You won't need to attend your school tomorrow."
"Oh, okay." They both got up, shook hands, and the woman led Serena to the main gates.
Serena walked home to spend one last night with her family.

Well, it took me a while to write this chapter. I was thinking of adding a clumsy part for Serena, but then I realised that it wouldn't really fit in.
If you haven't already realised, Serena is 16. And I've decided that Darien is 18 :)
Reviews would be nice. :)
Thanks
Natalie
