CHAPTER 6

Graduation Day

“I now present to you the graduating class of Santa Barbara University,” said the university’s president as we tossed our caps into the air. Chelsea and I had made it. We were college graduates. We hugged and took a selfie of the moment.

We found our families and posed for dozens of pictures. I didn’t see Phil. He was probably celebrating with other graduates on his baseball team and frat brothers. Britney had lasted all of a month.

Phil tried to get me back to run out the clock on our senior year. I told him no and that was that. He got drafted into the minor leagues and was leaving to join his team.

Chelsea and I followed pictures with a wonderful joint lunch with our families. I spent the next day with my family and Chelsea did the same with hers. After both our families left, we got Chinese food from our favorite Chinese restaurant near our apartment.

“Well, here’s to being college graduates,” Chelsea said as we toasted using egg rolls.

“Did you pick out your dress for the fundraiser?” she asked me.

“Yes. And you need to come by Maria’s tomorrow to pick out yours. Maria said you could use my employee discount for a Runway Rental dress.”

“Cool. Now, more importantly, are you ready?” she asked.

“There’s a lot I’m getting ready for. You’ll have to be more specific,” I replied.

“Your interview with the reps from Jacqueline magazine later in the week?”

“Yes. My application was submitted over a month ago and they confirmed I have a set interview time. My portfolio is polished and I’m ready to go.”

“Excellent. You have a job in the bag. Which is good. I’m totally selfish and I want you moving to New York,” said Chelsea.

To no one’s surprise, Chelsea would be attending Columbia Law School in the fall. I had been offered a job at Adele fashion magazine in Los Angeles. It was a good entry-level position, but not my dream job.

I desperately wanted to work at Jacqueline. The bonus was that they were in New York City. If I got the job Chelsea and I could get a place together in Manhattan.

“What about your plan for meeting Brandon Mitchell?” Chelsea then asked me in an excited voice.

“I’ve told you before, there is no formal plan. He will be at the fundraiser and there is a chance we will meet. That’s it,” I responded.

“That won’t do,” Chelsea said. “You need to have a plan. It is your one chance to mingle with Mr. Handsome CEO at a fancy event. You can wow him with how great you will look in your evening gown.”

“Chels, come back down to planet earth. Brandon Mitchell is not going to have any interest in me.”

“I still want you to be ready. You never know what can happen from a chance meeting. Especially a chance meeting that you plan for,” she said.

“Then, by definition, it is not a chance meeting,” I replied with a smile.

“Whatever. You know what I mean. Take advantage of the opportunity that is presented to you.
