Author's Note: Okay - this was originally started to enter a contest, but I never ended up finishing it. It's the story of Lauren's hair - why it was changed, etc. It's in a series of diary entries all of which are very short. There will probably only be 5 or 6 entries altogether. This will be a rather short fic. )

Dear Diary,

You'll never guess what just happened! Okay, so me and Jess were at the mall today looking for Christmas presents for our families. We were walking towards the Bath and Body Works shop so I could grab one of those packages for mom when I was stopped – in the middle of the mall! – by a man who looked about mid-thirties.

To be honest, I was a little freaked out at first. Why was this man stopping a teenage girl in the middle of the mall? As it turns out he was A MODELING AGENT! He stopped me because he said he thought I had really good potential! Actually, I think his exact words were:

"Have you ever thought about modeling? You look like you have some real potential!"

It was so amazing! Of course I had thought about modeling! And to be stopped like that just backed up my thoughts that I could do it.

Anyways, he went on to explain that if I did something crazy with my hair and took some head shots, it was set for sure! Then he handed me a card of a photographer he said was very good and well-known in the modeling industry!

CAN YOU BELIVE IT? I'm going to model!

I have to decide what to do with my hair, though… I still don't really understand what's wrong with it. Don't most models have long blonde hair? Oh well – I can't complain!

Looks like things are finally going to happen for me!

Eek!

– Lauren
