Interview
Intro: Y/N pov
DATE: 2039, FEB, 26th
" Yes sir, I did graduate slightly above average in my class." I say, as I sit uncomfortably in in the creaky office chair, hoping Mr. Fowler will consider at least have me as an assistant around the office. He hummed silently as he read through my papers that would determine my future here as an officer, or a waiter in the coffee shop around the corner. I gripped the edge of my seat, and felt myself slowly drown in doubt and fear.
Finally he shifted his gaze from the paper to me. " I see you have recently been in a car accident. But miraculously suffered no fatal injuries even with it being a head on collision. How did you manage to survive that with just a fractured ankle and a few stitches?" Fowler asked with curiosity in his eyes. I relaxed in my seat and let it creak as it held up the full weight of my body. " Guess mama was right about drinking all that extra milk as a kid." I said in a joking manner. The officer let out a hearty laugh and lightly slapped the desk. " Mamas been looking out for you you I see." He said reaching over and patting me on the shoulder with a grin on his face. " Listen Mr/Miss (L/N) you seem good. Just give me about a week and I should be able to contact you and let you know if you got the job or not. Alright?" He said getting up out of his chair. I got up after him and followed suit. He opened the glass door for me and wished me a good night as I walked out of his office. I smiled and waved goodbye to the higher ranking officer.
As I exit the building I see an older looking man with long grey hair pulled back into a ponytail with a burger in hand. I smile politely at him only to have him shoulder bump me as he walked in to the office from before. A man trailing behind him with hair neatly fixed approached me right after. "Apologies for his behavior. He's just having a bad day." He said apologetically with a small smile. He walked into the office following the man from before. I lightly chuckled at the 'odd couple' and and continued to my car an old 1990 Chevrolet camaro, decorated with silver streaks popping off of the pearl blue base. I hopped into the antique car and headed down to a nearby coffee shop, with hopes of them having my favorite drink.
I pulled into the parking lot and pulled myself out of my car and headed into the aesthetically pleasing cafe. I opened the door to hear a little jingle of a bell and saw it was practically empty with just a couple over at a couch with a few cute little throw pillows. "Hey (Y/N)!" A familiar strong African voice shouted. I turned my head to see a light skinned black android with a section of her hair shaved on the right side. Her LED blinked blue rapidly as I approached her with a smile. " Hey Zee." I say glad to meet the friendly android. I lean over the counter top and give her a big hug reviving one in return. " Sooooo, how did the interview go?" she said excitedly as we parted. " So far I think I'm gonna get the job if no one better than me shows up." I said nervously shrugging. She silently squealed " Nobody is going to show up ya hear. Cause no one is as brave or, courageous as you." She said rubbing my shoulders comfortingly. " Thanks." I said as I smiled. A moment passed with us just sitting in silence but Zee remembered my daily coffee. "OH! Is it the usual (F/C), kid?" She said jumping slightly. I chuckled and nodded with a small smile. I watched as she headed to the back of the kitchen to make my coffee with a slight bounce. I looked over and headed to my favorite spot in the cafe; the window seat. I sat on the small couch and looked out at the beautiful view of Detroit.
It's become much calmer with the acceptance of deviants and their desired freedom coming true, I'm just glad there wasn't another war.
Dark clouds rolled in as I waited for Zee to call my name as usual, a light sprinkle appeared as I continued to watch. As I waited a bit longer the couple left in their small maroon car not wanting to wait for the rain and quickly left the area.
"(Y/N)!!! Come and get it!!" Zee shouted while hitting two pans together continuously with a huge grin on her face. I laughed with her and walked over to get my coffee with its alluring aroma. I took a sip and grinned at the best coffee anybody could ever make me. "Ya still got it." I say handing her my card, but oddly she didn't take it. " I don't need It, plus it a good luck gift, ya know, hoping you get the job." She said giving me a warm smile. I smiled back warmly and put away my wallet."Thank you so much." I say before embracing her in a hug getting one in return. "Welp I better get home. My borker is scared shit-less of thunder." I say jokingly. "Haha. Alright I'll let you go." She said grabbing a rag off of a nearby towel rack. I head out of the coffee shop and hop into my car ready to get home to my small apartment.
TIME SKIP 10 min 45 sec. Time: 5:39 pm
I open the door of my apartment building, having an amazing scent come to my senses. I followed the smell to my kitchen to find my roommate already making dinner. "What cha' cooking?" I say surprising him. " O-oh, it's just you (Y/N). Don't scare Ralph like that again." He said nervously. "Sorry Ralph, I didn't mean too. I was just curious. Are you okay?" I say apologetically. "Ralph is alright, would you like to see what Ralph is cooking?" He asked excitedly. "Totally!" I say rushing over to is side to see three mini pizzas."Ralph worked hard on them, It will take about ten minutes to get them perfectly cooked." He said putting the pizzas in the oven. "Alright bud." I said. "Have you seen Al anywhere?" I asked Ralph. "Ralph has not seen floppy dog anywhere. She ran off not too long ago." He said taking off his 'kiss the cook' apron. I thank Ralph and go looking for the shar pei pup. "Al! Come here girl!" I shout trying to get the female dog to come out from hiding. I make little kiss noises to encourage her to come out.
Soon I hear little paws pat against the wood flooring as the pup charges at me full of energy and excitement. I see the small wrinkly dog round the corner from my room and skid into the wall in front of her to a halt. She slowly turned her head toward me with her sparkling blue eyes so light that they almost looked grey from a distance. I opened up my arms getting ready for the floppy pups blow. She wagged her tail and bolted into my arms. I lifted her off of the ground in a hug and felt her lick my face where ever she could reach. "Alqamar!" I said while laughing at the same time.
I put the pup down and went to look for my other room mate who had a few pets of his own.
I looked down the hall to a door that had large wings made of feathers collected over the few months that I helped with. I walk down the hall and rub my fingers across the now clean feathers admiring our hard work. I knock on the door to hear a bit of fluttering wings behind the door, and my roommate stumbling around trying to get to the door quickly. I laugh as he quickly flings the door open with a few feathers landing on him. "Hi (Y/N), I didn't expect you to be home so early." He said while dusting off his shoulders of feathers and bird seed. "Yeah, I didn't get the job just yet Rupert. They need to see if anyone better than me will come in soon." I say lightly punching his shoulder. "Heh, alright. Well nice to see that you're most likely getting the job." He says before messing up my hair and closing the door.
Yeah... This is the life of (Y/N) (L/N). Not the best but definitely not the worst.
