Chapter 2: X-Chrono

"BEEP!"
I heard my alarm clock. I was still extremely tired.
"BEEP!"
"SHUT UP!" I shouted, but of course it didn't do anything.
"BEEP!"
I got up and hit the OFF button. I was up, yet still tired, so I just went downstairs to eat breakfast. I didn't even expect what was about to happen. I was eating, with a nice hot cup of coffee next to me and reading the news when I saw a good job application. I drove over to where they were hiring. It didn't take very long.

"Now how many years have you been in college, Miss Aeroskie?"
"Uhhhh, four years."
The man laughed. "Why, then you are not smart enough to join!"
"What?!" she said astonished. "But I could be a teacher!" she protested.
"But you must be smarter than a teacher or doctor to join Xplover."
Then he gave a wave of his hand, and the security took me away.

The job was for a famous company called: Xplover, you got to go to different parts of the world and try to find ways or to think of amazing ideas and then you got help to create it, or you could become rich for discovering something new. I've been wanting to join it since I was 10 years old. I guess I should explain who I am. My name is Syrena Aeroskie. I'm 20 years old, I'm tall, with black hair, and I know a lot of things that would support Xplover greatly, but you need to go to college for 7 years for that. That's why I failed. They said that not very many people knew you could go to college for 7 years and they said I could go for another three years. But I said no. I guess I hated college when I was in it, probably because of the amount of money you spend. Another three years was too much.


I was walking back to my car, steaming mad, realizing when a man with a black jacket and shades stopped me and said "You jus' try to get hired by Xplover?" "Yeah..." I said, "Did 'ya fail?" "Yeah, why?" I asked, He didn't respond to my question "Why'cha fail?" "Why are you asking me these questions?!" I said to him strictly. He still didn't respond to my questions. "Why'cha fail?" he repeated. "I didn't go to college long enough." I said. "Follow me." he briefly said. My feet stayed planted. "Move it!" he said sternly. I don't know why I followed. We walked around the Xplover district, and followed a path to a forest. There were many paths in the forest. I once asked him where one of the different paths led. He simply said "Somewhere no one ever wants to be." We kept walking and finally I could see a cave ahead. It looked quite creepy. When we approached the mouth he went in a little ways, there was a hidden keypad! The man typed a word on a keypad to the right of some weirdly placed stones. A secret entrane then opened. We stepped inside. And then I saw a logo that said: X-Chrono, I was astonished at this point, but wait until you hear the rest! We stepped inside a elevator and I asked for his name. All he said was "Shades". When the elevator stopped, we stepped out. It was a magnificent sight. Rooms, escalators, people, computers, and looked like Xplover. A tall man approached me. He said "Welcome to X-Chrono, Ms. Aeroskie.

BUT long chapters give more of an idea of what's going on. Some people LIKE long chapters. Actually, if you make the chapter interesting, people prefer long chapters.

Haha, the POINT of this chapter was to be short, so people will want more.
Long, long chapters look intimidating, so I've decided to keep some chapters short. Of course I'll put more detail and edit it. Thank You!

Oh, I was just kidding on the "newbie" part. My bad.

Okay, no grammar or spelling. A little short, I have to say. You need help with the way you have the paragraphs. If you want, I can edit it for you and send it to you. Plus, my dear friend, you really need more detail. Not bad for a newbie! Just kidding! Anyway, your sentence structure is okay. Commas are needed. Sorry, I had to mention that. Let's see, good storyline so far. Keep going with it. You're on your way, little man. Alright, Levi. You satisfied with my review?
