(First Draft) The Sound Of A Dying Butterfly

S1-E14 Did I get the job?

S1-E14 Did I get the job?

May 20, 2020

*Thump thump thump*

"Sorry, is me kicking the bed bothering you?" She replies with "No, I'm really good at keeping focus" "Okay, because my employer is about to call me any second so i'm just trying to..." 

*RING RING* 

"Okay, here goes nothing" The room fills with nothing but silence, then I heard as he was talking "You are hired" 

"Really? I mean, thank you, thank you sir, i'll be sure to make the best drinks" Arseni gave me a weird look as I said that, but I can't help it, when I'm excited I say the weirdest stuff, but this wasn't my worst.

"Thank you so much, sir" I kept saying. 

"Arseni, I got the job, he wants me to start tomorrow, I work from 3 to 8" Arseni gets off her laptop saying "That's great, Kierra, but, you know we have to celebrate somehow" "Like, play music..." "Yep" 

Arseni puts her Bluetooth on and starts playing music, all of which I love, so, she starts dancing while I try to tell her "We have similar taste in music!" "Sure do, here come dance with me!" "Arseni..." She grabs my hand and starts twirling me around, then I begin to tell her "I can't really dance!" "I'll help you!" 

We start dancing together, she seems to be really enjoying this more than me, only because she can actually dance. I eventually begin trying to dance as well, heck, even on my bed, don't worry i'm wearing socks. 

We've been dancing like this for like an hour now, and as the playlist goes off, my phone starts ringing, with my Final Fantasy victory fanfare song by the way. 

So, I answer it because it's Arledo, but it turns out it is an message, "how long was he calling me for" 

"Hey, it's me Arledo, hoping you are doing good and all, and also about you getting the job or not. So, um, actually I wanted to ask you if you want to still help me out with my comics or not, or if you are still writing or not...You can come over my dorm and help me when you want, it's dorm room 106, So, yeah, call me back when you can...bye" 

"Arledo was calling you? I didn't hear anything" She checks her phones then says "Yeah...He called me too, he always does this when things aren't even important" I started saying to her "Oh! I have to give him my writings, I wrote some drafts for him, but I didn't have time to give it to him because I was so hype about working" 

"Better get back before 12, that's when we are not allowed in each others dorms" "It's 8:37, I'll be back in time" "Go ahead then, i'll check on you guys" 

I ran out of the dorm, then made my way to the guys dormitory across from ours. The hallway is filled with jocks, football players. I stand by the door, hesitating to go in, causing me to text Arledo saying 

"Their are a bunch of jocks blocking my way" Then he replies back saying "Oh, you're coming over? Okay, just ask them to move" "Can't you come out?" "No, i'm in the middle of something" "Middle of what?" "I'll show you when you get to my room, and stand by the door eventually" "Arledo?" 

I make my way into the guys dorm, and I just rush passed them, without even saying hello, but honestly, I don't think they even cared, because all I heard was a chuckle, and that's it, who am I kidding, still embarrassing, but i'm in the hallway now, just need room 107 or 106, definitely 106. I knock on the door, and Arledo opens it saying "I was just finishing my project, come on in" "Your dorm is nice and cozy, but a little dirty" "Yeah I know, um....So the comics, here is the character, his name is Dragongard, ruler of the dragons, but that's all I can write for him, i'm stuck between hero or making him a villain" "Villain" "Villain? Make him a villain" "Yeah, here is the paper right here" 

I give it to him and he starts reading it in an expressive way, saying "Yeah, so then make my character Ranger the hero instead of sidekick, from his own kingdom, and the dragons...I got it, wow, you are pretty great" "Yeah, I've grown with this pretty well" "You've grown well completely" I look at him saying "Was that a flirt?" "I don't know, I've just really missed you, I hope all is well between you and Arseni, you know, being in the same dorm" 

I've always been closer to Arledo more than Arseni, Arseni and I always seemed to have this...I don't know, we always argued about something, but with Arledo, we always had fun together, I really missed him, and don't get me wrong, I still missed Arseni too.

I answer him saying "All is well with us, we even had a little dance party" "For what?" "I got the job" "You did? I'm so happy for you" He gives me a tight hug, pretty comforting so I hug him just as much back, then he begins to say "I hope your relationship stays good this time" "You mean....?" "Well, I just hope she doesn't get out of control with you" "I thought I was the one that hurt you guys?" "But, i'm talking about our later days" 

I was going to ask more, but I was getting pretty tired at this point, and we were looking and writing the comics as we were talking, so, I just wanted to focus on that. 

We had a good time, Arledo keeps making me laugh, and I love it, funny people I love period. 

"It's getting pretty late, I better head back" "Sure, i'll walk you out" He walks me out and gives me another hug as I headed back to my dorm, and when I walk in my dorm, Arseni is sleeping. I wrote some more in my journal, and then I fell asleep, this is why i'm writing this in the morning, but I need to get to class and prepare for my first work day, see you guys later.

Kierra seems to have gotten closer to Arseni and Arledo.

I understand saying weird things when you are excited or nervous since I do that as well.
