This morning Astraea made her way through the park, for some last minute Christmas shopping, she couldn't help but feel tired and exhausted. With the music of the street and the crowds of last-minute shoppers, she was feeling overwhelmed and drained from her trip. So she spent the rest of her afternoon and night writing and reviewing a couple of her own drafts.
As she finished up her writing, Astraea got a text message from Magnus, who simply wrote: "Hey." Surprised by Magnus' late-night text message, and intrigued by the lack of further details, she wondered why Magnus chose to text her. Was he bored, or did he want to talk to her? Thinking it over, she couldn't help but feel nervous - her heart beating a little faster as she stared at the message he sent her.
Astraea and Magnus chatted a bit, Astraea took this as a chance to get to know him a bit more, and she quickly got the idea to play 21 questions, although simple she could get answers.
Astraea: Alright, I'll go first. We're gonna play 21 Questions, ok? So, question number one. What's your favorite food?
The Rock: Food? I don't know.
Astraea: Hmm. Okay, I'll try a different angle. Where do you live?
The Rock: "Boston, but I'm about to move to NYC."
Astraea: "Ah, okay. That's a hint. Okay, question three: Do you have any siblings?"
The Rock: "I have an older sister."
Astraea: "Ah, okay. You have a older sister. Now we're getting somewhere!"
The Rock: "Yeah... I guess so."
The conversation went on and while she found it amusing and enjoyed the light conversation, she realized that she also felt nervous for an unknown reason. Magnus later suggested meeting up at a nearby coffee shop at some point, to which Astraea agreed. As they set a date for their mini-hangout, she felt her heart racing.
As she sent her final message to Magnus, Astraea felt her stomach flip and her heart race - was it excitement or nervousness? Or perhaps both? As she sent the message, she suddenly received an email from "The New Times", the journalism company she had applied for a writing job at. Excitement fills her, but with the anxiety and nerves at the same time, she felt her heart racing as she wondered what would happen. She was hoping for a chance to show her writing skills and get that very important job
As Astraea read the message she had received from "The New Times", her heart started to flutter. They wanted her in for a trial week, and then they would permanently decide which candidate was best suited for the job? Astraea couldn't believe it, she felt her excitement soar and her nerves flutter as she thought about the opportunity and the potential it held for her and her writing career. She was thrilled at the idea of working at "The New Times", and she knew she couldn't fuck up this trial week.
