Analise Smith

Why is it raining again? Do those weathermen even know how to do their jobs? Ugh!! Now I have to figure out how to get myself dry before this interview. And I had everything planned out. Well, I guess almost everything. I should note to self to always carry a spare change of clothes. 

Good thing I came here an hour early. I'll have some time to at least get myself to look presentable maybe. Not that it matters. I'm sure I'll get this internship right away. I know I'm the best candidate that they've ever had. I prepared so much, and they should be able to tell of my potential and expertise just by meeting me.

I'm so excited, I never thought that my plans would move so far ahead so quickly. I guess I shouldn't act like I already got the job but there's no way that I won't. I mean I am the perfect candidate. 4.0Gpa, Honour Roll, I may be a little young, but my professor recommended me. So, there's no way they won't see it as a big accomplishment.

Ok. 30 minutes before they are set to arrive. I have all of my papers in order, and I just need to make sure that I look the part. My makeup is still intact. I think the no-makeup look works well. I look a bit older than a sophomore in college. Being mature for my age should score me some brownie points. My hair is damp but not wet so I should be able to work with it. I did all the research I possibly could on my interviewer. 

Clara May, a head detective in the criminal investigation department of the local police precinct. She isn't married as far as I could tell. She has lots of connections with the local government and professors all over the city. At least that's how I was able to get this interview.

I know I'll make the program. I have written so many papers on criminal investigations and how I would have gone about the investigation and those papers have made it to the Universities pages of student accomplishments. There's no way she hasn't seen or read them. I mean random people on the street have complimented me on my paper so of course she's seen them.

Okay I think I'm ready now. I just have to wait for 15 minutes for her to get here. I should go over my notes while I wait. I'll be just fine so I should get myself a cup of coffee. I was way too excited last night to get enough sleep, so I'll need it. Deep breath Analise, you've got this.

I think the door just opened. I can't look nervous or super excited. I just need to be calm. Wow! There she is, Clara May, she has such an intimidating presence. I can't be scared though she's just my gateway to the program. Okay now to wait for her to notice me.

What is she doing? Doesn't she see me?
