"Hey sis." Hadrien whispered. "It appears a chance has come to use that thing you said was my friend's own, Seems imma have to prove you wrong. I promise she will come back and tell you all about it." Let's just say he received a double slap.
"Ow! Ow! Ow!"
Cocky bastard.

"Arri! Hadrian! Dinner is finished, Come down to eat!!" Today I made the famous Curry chicken and White rice with Tomatoes on the side. Jamaican style. Instead of putting the food out on the table as some families do. I took the easiest and least hectic way and shared it in three separate plates. Placing the fork at the side and a spoon for myself. To me eating with a fork at home is stupid, the spoon does a better job. However, if it's at a restaurant you would be surprised at how fast I use a fork.
They both took their seats as I went to share out juices and water for us. Placed the cups on the table and sat down.
"Let us call Mom" Arrieala suggested. She got up and dial them on her laptop, she then placed it on the opposite side of the table so all of us will be visible to them.
"Finally all of you in one place." Her smooth voice filled the silent room. I missed her so much.
"Hey mom, where is dad?" I ask
"Hey baby, Feels like long time me nuh see uno, uno fi just come back now."Dad joined the conversation making all of us laugh. (Translation: Hey baby, It feels so long since I have seen you all, just come back already)
"Dad, This typa opportunity nuh deh Jamaica, so we cya just do dat." Hadrian joined in
(Translation: Dad, This sort of opportunity is not at Jamacia, so we can just leave)
"Yea but we will come to visit when we can, didn't you plan to go on vacation?" Arri asked
"Yea we will leave tomorrow" Mom confirmed "How about you guys though? What are the objectives right now?" Everyone went silent am not sure why so I decided to speak up.
"Well I still haven't found a job, I applied for some last night but still haven't received a callback. I think it is because I don't really have work experience only an intern or it is my nationality or it might be because they have a lot of applicants." I listed off
"Sweetheart did you check your email at all today, some companies prefer to contact you by email while some don't, so check it right now." Well she definitely be ordering me around from Jamaica...Parents. "For you two how is College life so far?" She directed her attention to the twins while dad silently listen as usual.
"We have not yet official start, we start tomorrow." Hadrian filled her in.
"Yea we start tomorrow but we already got all supplies and also made a new friend, His name is Damien." Arrieala added on.
"Damien huh, remember what we spoke about Arrieala? Education first." Yea I believe dad is the reason I am the way I am absolutely clueless about relationships.
Deciding to follow moms advice I pulled out my Iphone seeing a picture of Emantha and I, I really need to call her, so I pulled it and open the Gmail app. To my surprise, I saw three unopened inboxes. Mom must have realized the surprising look on my face so she acknowledges it.
"You were right mom I see three of them, I will look them over thoroughly and let you know by tomorrow." We finished our dinner and said our goodbyes to them.
"Arri and Hadrian, do the dishes, I need both of you helping out around the house when u can." And with that I marched up to my room.
So I got two interviews tomorrow and one email stated that I need two years of experience, but I can reapply in the future once I have finished all qualifications.
I have an interview tomorrow at 9 and one at 2. Hopefully, I can make it to both on time. With that, I decided it would be wise to schedule an Uber from tonight for my 9AM interview. I reviewed my documents making sure I had everything including proof of qualifications. And the number one thing to do the night before; is look for the clothes your wearing. I decided to go with the Beige pants and white shirt. I took an extra shirt out incase the white got dirty for the next interview just in case I have to change.
The first impression is the point of view someone will have of you until proven otherwise and not everyone will allow you to prove to them you are not what you appear, So Milanie just get it right from the start. And that's what I told myself.
