I just can’t believe it. The nose inside my head is rising. The anger in my heart is becoming more painful. I get out of bed and run to the bathroom. I need to take my medicine. But when I see my reflection the creature inside show itself. The room feels like it’s on fire. I can feel spiders crawling up my skin. I can’t take it! I try to grab the pills behind the mirror. Once I take one everything disappears.

This isn’t the first time this happened, and it won’t be the last. As I walk back to my bedroom is when I notice the time. Damn it! It’s time to get ready for work. I put a pair of black jeans, and a black tank top on the bed. I go back to the bathroom and start getting ready for the day. As I walk out the door for the day, I close my enemies in my apartment, and I take on another persona.

I finally reach work, and it was uneventful. I thank whatever god there is to allow me this day. But once I walk into the office I’m greeted by the most annoying person on the planet. “Hey Nel! Are you ready for the meeting at 10?”
“Yes Rachael. Did you remember to clear out my schedule for tomorrow?” She gives a yes and walks away. Her happy attitude gets on my nerves, but not as much as these daily meetings. I just can’t wait for Saturday to come already.

Just as I reach the doors to my private office, I’m greeted by the second annoying person. “So, did you notice what Rachael is wearing today? Why don’t you just ask her out already? We all know you have the hots for her.”

“Shut up Eric. I have standards. I don’t just sleep with just anyone, no matter how desperate I am.”

“Come on sis. When was the last time you got laid?”

“Two years and counting. Now drop it or I’ll have HR fire you.” He put his hands up and walked away. I really hate when he does that. I have no time for relationships, or anything for that matter. I finally got my dream job and I’m not going to stop pushing to keep this career going. Just before 9:30 came around Rachael let her presence know.

She closed the door behind her, and walked around my desk next to me. “Do you really think they’ll be there tomorrow? I would hate for you to waste your time with false work.”

“I understand. Now look sharp, over guess are here.”

Time to let the meeting of the life time to beginning.

Here comes Nel. I just love her and just wish she would notice me. Today I’m wearing my black pencil skirt and a pink button-down blouse. I made sure the top buttons were not done to let my oversize breast pop out. And I had my blonde hair in a neat bon. I really hope she notices me. “Hey Nel! Are you ready for the meeting at 10?”

She doesn’t even look at me as she continues walking to the elevator. Once in she finally replies but it’s all business. Why won’t she even look at me? Even when looking at the elevator reflective door I can tell she’s not paying any mind to me. What do I have to do for her to notice me?

I then try to remind her of the dress-code, and that’s when she comments about me. Saying how I’m one to talk and then closes her door in my face. Just then Eric decide to show his ugly face. “What up Rach?”

“Why hasn’t she noticed me yet?” I started to tear up. “You told me that this would work!” He started to snicker and I slapped his chest. “I’m going change before I have to go join her in that meeting.”

“If it makes you feel better, I still think she likes you.” I shock my head. “Think about it. Since you started working for her she has yet got you fired. She fires anyone who looks at her funny.”

“It still doesn’t make me feel better. I know she only keeps me because of my work. But for once I want her to notice me, like really notice.”

“Oh, shut up and go change.” I slapped him before I walked away. I can’t believe him sometimes. Nel only keeps us around because we’re just skilled in what we do and nothing else. Well that what if feels like. But sometimes Eric words do make me feel like they’re true, but I just don’t know. Maybe if she told me herself it’ll make it feel like I actually matter.

Just as I walked into her office at 9:30 she was looking through a couple of files. Our chat was short as I questioned about tomorrow. Then right on time the new client has arrived. I still never understood why these clients doesn’t even try to hide that they’re not human.
