Chapter 1

Cara ran down the crowded sidewalk, weaving through the masses as she went by. Her long messy brown hair thrown haphazardly in a bun on top of her head. She was running late after having lost track of time at rehearsal earlier that day. She sighed as her green eyes found her friends at a table outside a small café.

"Your late." Diane sighed with a smile on her face. Elena just laughed

"Can we expect any differently from our little bun head" she said as Cara took a seat.

"Ha Ha Ha you do realize I don't just teach Ballet right" Cara said as she reached for the menu.

"We know but it's fitting considering your current state" Elena said motioning to the messy brown bun on top of her head.

"Yeah Yeah" Cara griped pulling out the hair band letting her hair fall down in waves around her shoulders.

The three women had all been friends for a little over a year now. Cara was the tallest of the three at 5'11. She had long wavy light brown hair with blonde highlights. She had emerald green eyes and soft facial features. Her body was lean from years of dancing but still held some curves. Cara had went to Juilliard for dance and modeled from the age of 18 to 24 to cover gradschool. She got her MBA at a University in New York when she decided to open her own dance studio. That was where she had met Elena. Elena had long blonde hair and striking blue eyes. She had a toned body and stood at about 5'6. Cara had met Elena when they suffered through orientation together for Grad school. They had lost touch though for a while after Elena had announced her engagement to a man named Clay who was a professor at the university they attended. Cara had never met the man but was excited for her friend. That was until a year or so ago Elena had contacted her about needing a place to stay after what she described as a bad break up and a messed up family situation. Elena never shared anything further and Cara didn't push her. Elena had ended up staying with her for about two months before Elena was able to get her own place. In that time Cara had introduced Elena to Diane. Cara had known Diane for a few years now after meeting her at the last runway show she did before retirement. Diane's friend was a designer Cara had been showcasing and had introduced the two backstage. They hit it off and had been friends since. Diane had naturally dark curly hair and very slim form and sharp features.

"So are we still good for the shoot next week?" Cara asked Elena as she ran her hands through her hair.

"Wait you're going to let Elena photograph you for the exhibit?" Diane asked curiously and turned towards Elena.

"We had a bet and she lost so now she has to come out of retirement and model for me" Elena said smiling as sipped her coffee.

"What was the bet about?"

"Your last boyfriend." Cara answered with a smirk and exchanging looks with Elena

"What about him?" Diane asked annoyed raising her eyebrow at the two women.

"I bet he wouldn't last over a week and she bet that he would make it two" Cara shrugged.

Diana looked at both of them with an annoyed expression before the two started laughing. "I'm glad you two know more about my relationships then me." She said. "Anyway I will see you tonight at my brothers award ceremony." Diane said nodding her head to Elena. "and you I will see tomorrow right?"

Cara sighed. "Yes I will be ready to be your Barbie" Diane laughed and hugged both women as she turned to leave.

"So why are you Barbie tomorrow?" Elena asked

"I have been helping her sister and the husband to be with their first dance so they invited me to the wedding and now I have to get a dress." Elena laughed at her friend's expression. Neither girls understood their friends obsession with fashion. "So are you excited for you exhibit?"

"More nervous really but yeah I'm a little excited" Elena grinning.

Cara and Elaina spent another 20 minutes or so catching up before Elena looked down at her watch.

"I have to get going. Phillips mom will be there tonight so I need to start getting ready" Cara cringed at her friend's words. She knew how much of a nightmare Diane's mom could be.

"Have fun" Cara smirked as she and Elena paid their bills and stood up to leave.

"Thanks that's reassuring to hear" Elena joked as the girls hugged and said their goodbyes before going their separate ways.
