ringing. Charlotte took the form and went through the door. The room was laid out with several chairs, around which were huge pictures of the current footballers. The colour scheme was red and black to mirror the team ’ s colours, and it all looked very corporate. There were about ten people already in the room and Charlotte quickly found a seat near the back so that she could observe everyone else without being seen herself. This was her usual routine which had served her well at lectures in the past. She saw two girls that she recognised as having been at her school when she had gone to the local comprehensive. Oh no! she thought groaning inside. Libby Bennett and Chloe Duncan! They hadn ’ t been very nice to her at school and had formed part of the, “ cool gang ” something that she was most definitely not. They were dressed in leggings and sleeveless tops with canvas shoes. Their hair was in top knots and they looked like any other young girl out for the day. They were busy taking selfies of themselves with the life sized photos, pouting and posing with the images and no doubt instantly uploading them to Instagram. Suddenly they noticed her and nudged each other. They smirked taking in her business attire and stifled giggles as they turned away. Charlotte was used to this; she had never fitted in at school. Most of the girls used to customise their uniform by rolling the skirts up and re-styling their ties. Charlotte never did and so was singled out as different and not one of the crowd. She was known as the weird one and had struggled to make friends, probably due to the fact that she didn ’ t smoke or talk about boys and make up. I mean who wanted to be friends with an outcast. Whoever said that your schooldays are the best years of your life was seriously misguided, she thought with a shudder. She hoped that she wouldn ’ t have to work with either of them; it would be like being back at school. Just then the door opened and everyone looked to see who had entered. The two girl ’ s jaws dropped and Charlotte looked around to see a good looking guy enter the room. He looked like a film star and had a definite presence around him. He had dark hair that was fairly long and trendy and the darkest brown eyes that she had ever seen. He was dressed in smart black trousers with a white shirt that was slightly undone, revealing the hint of a broad tanned chest. He appeared oblivious to the effect that he was having and made no eye contact with anyone, taking the seat next to Charlotte at the back. He nodded in acknowledgement and then sat looking at the form that he had been given. The two mean girls nudged each other again and kept on throwing him interested looks but he was taking no notice of them, much to Charlotte ’ s satisfaction. Charlotte could smell his aftershave which was a pleasant mix of spices and fragrance. For some reason his presence beside her was unsettling and she shifted uncomfortably in her seat. She noticed out of the corner of her eye that his nails were well manicured. God she hoped he wasn ’ t gay! She decided that she needed a distraction from him and looked down at the form. It was the usual background information and what job she was interested in at the club. She started to fill it in and when she next looked up the room had filled up considerably with lots of nervous people, some were talking to the person next to them, others looking blankly around them and others playing with their phones. There were all types and ages here she thought with interest. Charlotte loved nothing more than people watching; so much so that she had to remind herself not to stare at them otherwise it could land her in trouble one day. A young girl sat down in the other seat next to Charlotte and smiled nervously at her. “ Hi my name is Chantelle, ” she said flashing Charlotte a lovely smile. “ Are you here for a bar job? I am my goal is to work in the players bar. My mum says that I might get
