Kassidy
“Kassidy are you nervous about tomorrow?”
I wrinkle my nose and shrug my shoulders before sitting up straighter on the couch. I glance at my friend Anita. Anita is tall with a lithe like figure, short red hair, and a razor sharp tongue that can cut anyone down to size. I guess that's why we get along so well. I also have a low tolerance for bull shit.
Anita and my appearance is as different as night and day. I'm short, measuring in at only five feet and three inches tall, black hair styled in a chin length bob, dark brown eyes, a size twelve at most and smooth, warm, cinnamon-colored skin; whereas she is five feet and nine inches tall, vivid red hair, blue eyes, a size two, and pale ivory skin. She is mostly cheerful with a positive outlook on life. Her pouty lips and sugary tone will turn sharp as a knife if someone gets on her bad side. However, she’s a loyal friend and I love her like a sister.
“Um, to be honest, yes. I'm a thirty two year old single woman going for an interview for a job with women who are at least ten years younger than me. Plus, I will be competing for the coveted assistant position at a renowned company. I just pray my skill set will nail me the job at N&D Inc.”
Anita chuckles and takes a drink from her wine glass before speaking. “What? Are you seriously worried about not being able to compete with some twenty-two year old fresh out of college?”
“I am.”
“Well, have you thought of doing more with your life than being someone’s assistant Kass? You have so much potential. You could go back to college and finish that Master degree in business you’re always talking about.”
“Anita, do you know how many student loans I’m still paying for? I need this job, can you support me on this?”
Anita grins. “Of course I can support you. I’m your best friend, aren’t I?”
“Of course you are, but I also know how opinionated you can be!”
“Would you have me any other way?” Anita replies with a great big sigh.
“You know damn well I wouldn’t,” I lean over and give her a reassuring pat on the arm.
“If you get the job, we will have to celebrate.”
“Yes! That’s an awesome plan!” I say to Anita with great hope that we will have something to celebrate.
