I don't own anyone. It isn't too long but…

Enjoy!

The next morning, she woke up at 3. She sat on her table with which she shared with two roommates. Evin Larse and Miri (uhm, what is her last name?)(Either way, let's call her Whitesail, cuz she sails in the original book, right?) Whitesail. She sat on the table and made herself some strong coffee. What she didn't know was that Evin and Miri were already up. She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't notice Evin and Miri sit down. Evin waved his hand in front of her face a few times. Then, Miri tugged a lock of her hair. This pulled her out of her trance.

"What?" she asked, a bit startled.

Evin and Miri exchanged an amused glance. "We heard you wake up and we wanted to ask if you got your job."

Daine grinned broadly. "They were impressed. I got the job on the spot. I even got promoted to the SED." Looking at their confused glances, she added, "That stands for space exploration department. He looked damn surprised. It was almost like I am the youngest member of NASA. That would really have been cool."

"That's great. We're happy for you." Said Miri, joy evident.

Daine raised an eyebrow. "We?" and Miri got it. Evin looked down with a grin. Miri blushed. Daine grinned. "Good for you. I'm sure you'll be happy." Evin reached out for Miri's hand and was gripped in return. Daine noticed this and changed the subject. "What time is it?"

Evin looked at his stylish watch and said, "5.45"

Daine jumped up and said, "I need to get dressed."

She was on the way into her room when Miri asked, "why so early?"

"Oh, he wanted me to come at 9, but I wanted to be equal. I don't want to be known as a child."

Miri shook her head and said, "Scoot!"

In her room, Daine brushed her hair and threw on a blue tank top that ended just above her belly button and dark blue hipster jeans, extra-long. She glanced at the clock and decided to put on some extras. She put on a pair of silver hoops and a watch. She laced her sneakers and grabbed her low slung satchel. She ran out of her room and dashed down the stairs. Pretty soon, she had parked her cycle and was in the main building. Fortunately, Mr. Conte had told her where to go. She jumped on the lift and reached the head's office. Upon reaching, she was a bit surprised. There was only one room there. Obviously she had to enter it. There, in a plush carpeted room, was Mr. Conte was at a mahogany desk doing some paper work.

"Oh! Hi Daine. Good morning. Slept well?" he asked cheerily.

"Yea. I was excited then I dropped off. So, Mr. Conte, where do I go?" she asked

"Go into the office behind the wall. There is a lady with red hair. She will give you further instructions."

"Sure, thanks." Daine said before running off.

How did you find it? Good? Bad? Review and R&R! I need at least 3…kay?
