college interview

The receptionist looked at the clock on the wall, then called out, "Leonardis Spank."

She looked at it briefly, then put it in the pile of applications on her desk. "Go right in."

The receptionist rolled her eyes. "That's what the interview is for. To see if you're good material."

The receptionist frowned at Leo. "You're supposed to walk in the room labeled 'Interviews.'"

The man at the desk inside the Interview room looked up, signing a paper and putting it aside. "Well, hello there young man. And what is your name?"

"Uh-huh." The man took out a sheet of paper and wrote the name. "And what job do you plan on getting in the future, Leonardis?"

The man raised an eyebrow. "And do you know the proper name for that occupation?"

The man sighed and wrote that down using his ballpoint pen. "How do you intend to pay for your college?"

"And how much would that be?" The man quirked an eyebrow at him. He didn't expect it to be much.

"That's not going to help you much. Have you got any college loans?" The man almost scoffed. Eight hundred dollars would only pay for dormitory costs for only half a semester or so.
