Michael clapped his hands together, the sound echoing in his small apartment. The notification on his phone was a beautiful sight to behold. He’d done it! He got the interview. He immediately texted Sarah, his best friend and rival for the position, a simple message: "I'm in!"

He felt a lightness in his chest, like a balloon was trying to escape. He paced the room, a grin plastered across his face. The air crackled with a kind of internal energy.

He picked up the phone, scrolling through his contact list, eager to share the news. He began rehearsing what he’d say to the interviewer, his voice filled with an animated excitement. He had a great chance!
