On a sunny morning, in front of a huge building, Hana was standing with an anxious look "They will never accept me", she thought, after all she was two years late with her graduation, how would such a big corporation accept a person like her? It was only five minutes before the interview when Hana finally found the courage to enter the company. Upon entering the Hall she realized how small she was, after all everything there seemed so big, even the people seemed huge compared to Hana, but she was determined to ignore her smallness and go to the reception, where in a slightly shaky voice she said :

- Hi, I'm Hana Inoue, I have an interview scheduled for 10 a.m..

A woman in her thirties and very elegant, looks up at Hana with a serious face:

- We advise you to arrive at least 15 minutes earlier.

- Yes I know, I'm sorry, I had a problem and I couldn't make it in time.- Said Hana in an anxious voice, "Maybe I shouldn't have been standing outside for so long ..." she thought.

- Okay, take, this is your badge, just go up to the fifth floor and follow the signs.

Hana picks up the badge with her name and visitor identification and then, with a hasty step, heads for the elevator, and in less than one minute she was now on the fifth floor amid a sea of ​​people who would try the same vacant job as her, “I'm screwed” she thought, but before she could regret it more, she heard her name being called at the end of the corridor, so she tried as quickly as possible, among many “I'm sorry” and “Excuse me” to cross that crowd of people that filled the corridor of the office.

Upon entering the interview room, Hana saw a chair facing a table with four seats facing her, but only three were filled with people, and their eyes seemed to be able to kill Hana without much effort.

- Sit down. - Said in a dry tone the only female interviewer who seemed to be a little bit older than Hana, but was obviously much more mature.

Hana sits up quickly, almost tripping over her own shadow.

- Please introduce yourself. - Says one of the male interviewers, with the kindest tone of voice that Hana would have received in that place.

- My name is Hana Inoue and I'm 24 years old, I graduated in advertising this year, and I would love to be a trainee of you, such a reputable company.

- Tell me Hana, if you are 24, you should have graduated at least 2 years ago, why didn't you graduate at the right time? - This time asked the third interviewer, Hana already knew that this point would be mentioned, but tried not to be affected by the question and replied:

- I had family issues, so I had to work for 2 years when I finished high school.

- And do you think you have the capacity to accompany those who graduated in time? - Asked the woman without taking her eyes off the paper on which she was making some notes.

- I honestly don't know, but all I can say is that I will definitely give my best to be exactly what you need, as I have worked before, I already have experience in how to deal with people, so I believe that my value is the same as someone who graduated at the right time, I hope we can work together in the future!

When Hana said that, she caught the attention of the interviewers, who looked a little surprised at her, so the kinder interviewer said:

- You are someone with a lot of enthusiasm, for today that’s all Ms Inoue, we will contact you soon to tell you the result of the interview.

- Okay, thank you very much.- Hana said in a slightly shaky voice when she realized the impact of her words, "maybe I said too much..." she thought while she walked out quickly of the interview room, when she opened the door, she ended up bumping into a man, who was walking into the room.

- Sorry, I didn't see you. - Said Hana without even looking at the man's face.

- It's all right. - Said the man who was standing looking at her.

Hana then continues on her way distracted and lost in her thoughts, thinking about how her life had become such a big mess,then Hana brings one of her hands to her hair and makes some violent movements, making her hair look almost as messy as your life.

~❃~

Sunbeams came in through Hana's bedroom window, "Damn" she thought, because she haven’t closed the curtains properly the night before and now she would have woken up early to live longer of that miserable day of her life that had just started.

- Okay, Hana, you can do it. - She said to herself, while going out of bed and going to the bathroom of the small studio where she lived. When she got there she found herself in the mirror, all disheveled and with horrible dark circles that made her think “Where is that beauty that always made me be alone?”, After all Hana had no friend, because her black hair, gray eyes and perfectly harmonious face, always attracted all men, but not with the intention of being just friends and repelled all the girls, who ended up having hatred and envy of her or because the boy they liked, liked Hana or because Hana just didn't like this boy, which always generated horrible rumors about Hana, always labeled as mean and rude by the boys for always refusing them and as a bitch by the girls who thought she intentionally seduced the men, consequently Hana turned out to be a lonely 24 year old woman who had never been in a real relationship. Hana then decides that she is going to go back to her glory days, since even in her worst days she was still lonely, so she bends down to get a face mask from the bathroom locker that wasn’t used for some time, her head was partly tucked inside the closet , when her phone rang, she hastily raises her head, making a loud noise when she hits it on the top of the closet.

-Ouch! - Hana exclaimed with one hand on her head, as she hurriedly got up and headed for the room where her cell phone was.

- Hello?

- Miss Hana Inoue?

- Myself.

- I speak on behalf of the Pegasus Company ... - Upon hearing that name or Hana's heart started to beat faster, because she knew her chances were minimal, but she would really like to work for this company - And I would like to say that you entered trainee process of the company in the area of ​​advertising, you start on Monday at 9 in the morning, try to arrive 15 minutes in earlier please.

Hana was in shock, and almost as if in a trance, she replied - Okay. - and hung up, after a few minutes in silence, she finally realized that, despite all of the difficulties she got the dream Job of anyone that just graduate from college. As she renewed herself, Hana then decided more than ever to restore her beauty, and after a few hours of skin and hair treatments, she was just like in high school, as beautiful as, just one thing had changed, the sparkle in her eyes that no longer exists.

On Monday, half an hour in advance and charming, there was Hana in the company lobby. She went to the secretary to whom she talked in the interview day with a very kind smile and asked for her identification badge, the woman stopped for a few seconds observing, as she was surprised by the beauty of the girl, and then catched a box full of badges, looked for some time and then handed a badge to Hana, who stopped to appreciate for a few seconds the words written on the badge “Hana Inoue: Trainee” she thought with pride. Hana then repeated the same path she did in the day of the interview, and when she realized she was in front of the room where she had been interviewed a few days ago. She was distracted looking at her cell phone, when a man in a suit passed by Hana like a lightning bolt, and was already on his back for her, when he ordered her to follow him, Hana then raised her head a little disconnected and quickly followed the man who went for some Curves and then entered a room where the entry sign read “Director General of Advertising”, Hana was a little surprised and thought, “What Would the Director General want with me?” and finally entered the room.

Upon entering the room, Hana could smell a familiar smell, but at the same time a scary smell, she wanted to run as far as possible from there, but when she managed to calm down, she asked slowly and with a smile on her face:

- How could I be useful?

Only at this time the man who called her turn around, and the smile on Hana's face slowly faded for a few seconds, while she thought “Machi-kun… it's he for sure”, then she decides that the best way to face that whole situation was pretending to not remember him, Hana then quickly puts a new smile on her face and continues to wait for an answer.
