Beatrix
You know that moment when you’ve had enough? Where everything in
your life has been on a downhill slide, and now, the smallest, most
ridiculous thing imaginable is about to send you into burn-everything-down
mode? That’s me right now. Standing outside the Queen City Chaos football
team’s auxiliary building in front of a man who I am sure is otherwise a
very lovely gentleman but is currently wielding his access power to the
team like he is the last bastion between the players and certain doom.
“As I said, I don’t have my badge yet. I’m still new, but I’m Beatrix
Xavier. I should be on the list. I’m Madison Westfield’s assistant and part of
the PR team.”
“If you don’t have a badge, you can’t get in.” He doesn’t bother to look
at me now.
“Well, I’m required at this event, and the PR team knows I don’t have a
badge. They said I’d be on the list. Could you please call someone and have
them double-check? You’ll see that I’m on the PR staff list, I promise.” I
give him my sweetest smile, praying that he’ll be reasonable. I glance at the
time on my watch. I’m about two minutes away from being officially late
and the anxiety turns my stomach.
“Ma’am, I don’t have time for personal favors. We have an event here
tonight. If you don’t have a badge I can scan, you can’t come through.
Those are my orders.” He looks at me dismissively and moves on to the
next person behind me in line.
I’m so frustrated I could cry. Nothing has gone right lately. But I fight
the tears because I’m not about to let anyone think I’m anything less than
professional. Especially not when I’m fighting for any sort of chance I can
get at a full-time job here. Some way that I can keep my dreams alive.
“Okay. Well, what if I can get ahold of someone inside with a badge? If
they come get me, will you let me in?” I ask as I watch him usher several
more people inside the building.
“If they can bring you a badge with your name on it, sure.” He gives me
the kind of smile that tells me he thinks I’m making shit up, and my nails
bite into my palms as I smile back. “But you need to step aside. You’re in
the way, and we have other people trying to get through here.”
“Okay. I’m going to call Madison then. Thank you.” I flash another
saccharine smile in his direction, willing myself to keep a calm, polite
demeanor despite the fact he’s toying with my sanity.
“I have no idea who Madison is, ma’am, but you need to get out of the
way, please.” He dismisses me sharply, like I’m a cocklebur stuck in his
shoe.
I step to the side and let out a soft growl of frustration as I root for my
phone in my purse. I watch as he picks up his walkie-talkie and says
something into it, his eyes lifting to look me over one more time while he
talks. I have a feeling if I keep pressing the issue, I’m going to be banned
from the Chaos’s buildings for life.
