It was approaching afternoon as Cassie made her way into the shopping centre she didn’t have a cent to her name but she liked to watch the people going about their shopping, CJ hadn’t come with her he didn’t like loud places but o well that was just her brother, he liked places that were quiet like he was, he didn’t talk often.
As she wandered throughout the shopping centre her jeans tight against the top of her legs and then flaring out covering her skate shoes, her red top showing her belly ring but hiding the ugly scar above her belly button. Her brown wavy hair bounced slightly as she walked framing her face nicely as green orbs surveyed her surroundings.
Passing many shoppers and nearly getting run over by a few that were in a rush to get done and get out, she adjusted her small bag over her shoulder and made her way over to look in one of the clothing stores, Dotti, there was a sign in the window advertising the need for employee’s.
After considering it for a moment Cassie entered the shop and walked up to the counter, she waited for someone to come out of the back and to the counter, it didn’t take long, with a confident smile on her face Cassie took a deep breath before she began to speak.
“Hi, I wanted to enquire about the job you had going?”
She asked politely, she really needed a job after all how else would she pay for the dorm fee’s at the University, she waited a bit unsure for the lady to speak, or smile or anything she didn’t seem to interested at all at the moment.

OOC: This lady is pure evil, btw! I thought it would be good! HAHA!
BIC: Miss Lake had heard someone enter her store. She thought of the store as her child, and she adored it very much. She walked out onto the floor and stared at the girl that stood before her. She raised an eyebrow and smiled.
You seem like a good, intelligent candidate! Here, take a form and fill it in! Then I will give you a number of tasks to do and see how well you do them! As you complete each one, I will give you a mark out of 10 and if you get an overall marking of 65%, you will be hired! In your own time, doll!
Said she, turning her back to organise some tasks. She picked up a few jumpers and took them over to an empty table. She threw them down, making them tangled and unfolded. Then, she returned to the back of the shop and collected a shoe and placed it by the cashier.

OOC : Lol well evil is always interesting lol
BIC: Cassie was momentarily thrown by the women’s harsh words and her bluntness, she saw no hint of a smile or any sign of friendliness from the women. Cassie showed no sign that the women had momentarily shocked her, instead she simply smiled and took the form and pulled a pen out of her backpack, she quickly filled the form with as much detail as possible and in her best writing.
‘We can hope bro’ she thought to herself as she finished filling the form in, she needed this and she hoped to make a good impression, if there was one this she was good at it was following orders and doing things to perfection, if she didn’t she was beaten back when she lived at home.
She turned back to the women and smiled as she handed over the finished form and tucked her pen back into the front pocket of the backpack.
“What’s my first task?”
She asked as she held out the form to the owner of the shop and waited patiently for her orders.

Miss Lake began to look through the form, not looking up. The box at the bottom was empty, but that was for the marks. She pointed to the table of jumpers. Arrenge them as you see best! she said, not looking up from the form.

Cassie nodded and walked over to the table of jumpers there were a few different cuts and a lovely variety of colours, she set to work straight away, folding the jumpers with skill and precision laying them neatly across the tables in neat piles of the same cuts and colours.
Then with a small of each she arranged them neatly on the top of each pile, so as best to show the lovely cuts without need to unfold and disturb the entire stack of the jumpers, this took her all of 5 minutes to accomplish and when she was happy with her effort she walked back over to the lady, she knew she didn’t even know the women’s name but for the time being that was not the priority.
“What’s next?”
She asked as she looked at the women and waited for her next task to be given to her.

Miss Lake looked up and then over at the table. She raised an eyebrow and then looked at the shoe. She took out her watch and watched the time. Take this shoe and find another shoe on the shelves the exact size and make as this while I examine the table. I'll be timing you! GO! she said, starting her watch. She looked at the table and then nodded, writing down the mark. 9/10

Cassie nodded and took the shoe she checked the size and make it was one of her favorite brands, but she could never afford a pair. Walking over to the shelves she scanned them for a moment and nodded she had a good system, scanning the line she pulled down a box from the shelf and quickly checked the size and brand of it, check, exactly the same, she thought to herself and by the looks of it the actual match since there was no other shoe in the box, she took the box to the women and placed the shoe and the box in front of her.
She had worked in clothes stores before and had it pretty down pat on the systems, she knew nearly every one and there fore it was easy to recognize this ladies and find the right shoe within 5 minutes, and time was money to customers.
“There you go, two size 9 ½ US DC’s, in black with pink shoelaces”
She said with a sweet smile, this was a little too easy but that didn’t bother her, if she got the job then she could really show this women what she could do.

Miss lake looked at her watch. 3 minutes 52 seconds. She marked down her score. Not bad sweety. One more test now. You have to find 3 objects in the shop that are out of place and find there proper home. she said, looking back at the counter. She moved behind it and thought about the score. 55%, 10% more and she'll be through...

Cassie nodded and looked around the store for a moment she walked through it looking carefully, she spotted the first it was an easy one there was a pair of jeans hanging with a row of dress pants she plucked them off the rack and walked a bit further, seeing where they were meant to go she placed them away and spotted the next, in a discount area there was a shirt that belonged over on a different display, plucking it out she folded it neatly and placed it away with the other of its kind before she looked around again, she smiled seeing a shoe on the ground half pushed under one of the couches, it was a delicate high heal, she bent down and plucked it up looking around the store she saw two others the same style but in a black and red, she placed the white shoe next to them and nodded to herself, turning back to the women she walked forward.
“Acceptable?”
She asked and waited to see what the verdict was she hoped she got the job she was growing to like this women she was hard and not overly friendly but she knew how to guarantee she got quality staff members

Cassie breathed out, she didn’t realize she had been holding her breath, she broke into a wide grin, she could stay for now anyway, if she could earn enough to pay rent and get a bit of food she could survive.
“Thank you so much Miss Lake you wont be sorry, I’m Cassie, by the way”
She said she couldn’t keep the smile off her face she knew that Miss Lake had the form and knew her name was Cassandra Johnson but she preferred to be called Cassie and she decided that this was as good a time as any to introduce herself as Cassie.
It didn’t bother her if Miss Lake chose not to call her that though, she couldn’t wait to get back to the dorms and tell her brother the good news but that could wait.
“So when can I start?”
Cassie asked she was eager to get started, to her this job was survival, it was her lifeline and the sooner she got the ball rolling the better.

Cassie grinned she couldn’t believe her luck after all the years of living in the dark being bashed and working hard for her mother just to be refused food and sliced open things were finally beginning to look up for her
“Sure that would be great”
Cassie said with enthusiasm, she was kind of the party girl out of her and her brother, she knew CJ had gotten it far worse then she had, he didn’t know they had ever laid a hand on her he thought he had protected her from that all these years

Miss lake smiled and sat down on the chair behind the counter. She looked out the window and watched people walk past. You don't have to start now, you can go out fro something to eat if you want?

Cassie didn’t want to admit that she had no money to buy any food and even though she hadn’t eaten in a few days she smiled none the less
“No that’s fine I ate before I came”
She said with a smile but turned to the owner
“But if you don’t want me to start now that’s fine I can come back when its best for you”
She said kindly she was flexible she wanted to work but she didn’t want to push it too far she would work when she was told to.
