Hey! There is an important question about the story's future romance (don't worry people it's not going to be all romance). Would you please answer it! I'm sorry, but I don't want people bashing me for a couple if no one gave me any opinion on it (but it would be a fun couple to write).
This is 2 weeks after the Season 1 finale, people. Santos is dead and Alexis and Daniel are still in the hospital. People know that Claire has broken out of prison, but have no idea where she is. Amanda and Christina pretend that their night in Fey's closet never happened.
I do not own Ugly Betty ………..even though I should.
Betty might not have even noticed the girl if not for her behavior.
She was tall, and looked to be around 13-14 with dark brown hair and inviting gray eyes. She walked with an air of pride around her, but yet with caution. Betty noticed her as Amanda taunted her by Daniel's office, with her usual kindness.
"If you're going to stand there with those dated clothes, at least hide yourself!"
Betty looked up from her work and saw Amanda standing with there with the girl, who was lingering around Daniel's office.
"Why should I hide, I have every right to be here!"
There was something you didn't see everyday. Someone standing up to Amanda. But she was, back straight, trying to stretch her legs to reach Amanda's height. As Betty got up closer, she could see the girl's eyes fiercely gleaming.
"Um…….Hi, can I help you?" She tried to get the girl's attention off of Amanda, afraid it would be a repeat of the "Betsey Johnson Dress" incident. Amanda and Tracy from Styles were limping for weeks- and the dress was torn to pieces.
"Yes, I need to see Daniel Meade, please." The girl's gray eyes were piercing, yet soft as she turned from Amanda and looked at Betty.
"I'm sorry, he-he's not in right now." Betty had suddenly found her eyes watering at the sound of Daniel's name.
"You mean he's not back from the hospital?" The girl was intently disappointed.
"What- You don't know that he's in a coma right now? Besides, why would he want to see you?" Amanda smirked.
"Thank you." Was all the girl said to Betty, and walked away. But then she doubled back and firmly jammed her loafer onto Amanda's brand new shoes. Then quickly ran off again.
"If I ever see that brat again……….." Amanda growled as she attempted to clean the scuff marks off of her shoe and limp back to her desk.
However, they did see a lot of her during the next few weeks, or at least Betty did. The girl always seemed to be snooping around somewhere. Either she was a new intern, or a fashion psycho.
One night, though, Betty changed her opinions completely.
She had stayed late at MODE because Hilda wanted to have a heart-to-heart with Justin about Santos. Betty's poor nephew had been having a pretty harsh time without his father, and it was up to Hilda to try and see him through. Betty always found that the certain "talks" include lots of crying and shouting, and for Justin and Hilda's sake, tried to stay out of the way.
She was rummaging about in her purse, seeing if she had enough money for a cab, when she heard a thump. It sounded like it was coming from behind the huge circle sign that read MODE. But nothing was behind that, right?
Betty, determined, scoured the entire floor until she came to the closet. Being one of the last people at MODE that night, she thought that maybe Christina was having one of her drunken rants again. She was just about to start searching when she heard a creak, and looked around.
There she was again, this time coming out of a door, that was disguised as a wall of shoes!
"What are you doing!" Betty's voice sounded loud in the emptiness of MODE.
The girl looked stunned for a moment, but then simply stood up tall and said, "Well, if you have to know, I'm getting ready for bed."
"What?!" Betty said.
The girl's gray eyes flashed, and she looked like she was making a split second decision out of panic.
"Listen, I've noticed you seem pretty loyal to Daniel, and you seem trustworthy too……Can I trust you with a secret?" She looked uncertain.
Betty nodded, and the girl pulled a trigger that made the door open again. Both of them scampered through the door, and entered a room.
It looked like a dungeon, and had many suitcases piled in the corner. Betty could see a dresser where various shirts and pants were arranged, and on a table was pictures of every person at MODE, along with notes.
The girl sat down on a luxurious bed, and motioned for Betty to do also. When finally, they were both sitting side by side, the girl started.
"My name is Iriel Honor Sommers Meade."
Well, there you go. I might incorporate Season 2 (when it comes out) into my story. Also, there is a rumor Justin could be getting a girlfriend this season on the show. This has given me the idea of making Iriel and Justin a couple. They might make a good couple, once her character is defined a little more. But if you guys don't like the idea of Justin and a girlfriend, then I'll do something else.
