Hello there again, I was going to post it Saturday but I will be way too busy to get online… anyway thank you for the review and the positive comments. Really , yeah I was informed by one of you guys that my point of view is off so I have edited to make sure it isn't but please feel free to help me out… and I have changed the rating so watch for that if that even matter and the category. It's a tragedy but why?
Disclaimer: I own nothing from Vampire Knight…
My alarm rang as usual at six o'clock and I tirelessly rose from my bed and grabbed my school uniform. It was a simple black pleated skirt and a dress shirt with a matching jacket with our school insignia. All the guys had a tie while of course the girls had a stupid red ribbon.
I brushed my teeth and did my hair into the usual style I had and did it with black ribbons. I grabbed my school bag and went downstairs and quietly opened the fridge to see that Mrs.Lin had packed me a home lunch and I smiled at the little note with the teddy bear in the background.
I hope things go well today, have a nice day and enjoy!
I smiled and placed it in my bag and grabbed an apple for breakfast and headed for school
The first thing I heard when I walked in was Chiharu's loud screech she called her voice.
"I am getting time to do a photo shoot this weekend for that magazine "Angel." (MADE UP THE NAME… BRAIN FREEZE, SO SUE ME IF IT SUCKS.)
Angel was a recent magazine that came out just for teens to be able to get into the modeling agency. But usually the article had always revealed teenage girls in a way that wasn't them by making them look sultry or like a whore basically. To me that magazine did not portray its title or job as a modeling agency. But it brought many young teens to fame never the less.
"Wow, another photo shoot, you are so great Chiharu," said one of her so called friends.
We all know that her friends aren't there for anything but the money.
"Yeah but the best part is that Senri Shiki is going to be THERE!" she squealed.
Senri Shiki was one of the first young teen models to come from "Angel", many drooled over his shirtless shoots and alluring eyes. Almost everyone crazed teen had a crush over him with the exception of me.
"Ugh," I said out loud accidently.
"What did you say Touya?" Chiharu said looking at me disgusted.
"Nothing, nothing," I said in a monotone voice.
"I thought so, someone as hideous as you need to keep shut and silent and stay away from my Shiki, he is mine." She scoffed.
These words might actually hurt someone but not me, its hard for me to portray any emotions really because I am not use to it I guess. But after my mother lost her sanity all my sadness and happiness seem to have left me. My agent also says that is one of my downfalls as a model, she says I need to work on having emotions in some shoots.
Right after school I headed to her office and took a deep breathe and walked in.
"Rima your early come in!" my agent greeted,
"Hello, Mrs.Takada."
"Don't call me that call me Carrie, anyway on to business I found you a real shoot this time. I know that you have only been modeling for your caretakers business and catalogs but this one is the real thing that will hit you big," she pointed out.
"What is it?"I said full of anticipation.
"ANGEL," she exclaimed.
Almost immediately my expression turned sour and disbelief.
"What you don't like that magazine, most teens are dying for this position and they randomly called me wanting to talk to you. I mean how rare it that they call on a random model!" she tried to encourage me. "Carrie, you know how I don't like that place, their image is all wrong." I pouted.
"I know I have talked to them about this and they are willing to work with you so don't worry nothing that you like will appear on the issue," She urged.
"Fine, I'll go but if it's inappropriate I am leaving."I decided.
"Sure sure, be there at eight this Saturday, here is the address and don't be late."
I sighed and took the informational paper and walked out into the streets. And then it hit me that Chiharu would be there, I don't think she even knew I modeled; great, now this was going to be a big deal to her.
Now I was going to go visit my mother.
"Hi, mom how are you?" I asked at the absent minded person.
"The flowers are blooming today, today is the day that I met my husband."
"Yeah, they aren't they," I said trying to make a conversation with her even though it was winter and no way could flowers be blooming.
"Have you seen my husband?"
"No, is he with your daughter?" I said trying to see if she remembered me.
"Daughter? No I am looking for my husband, we just got married how can I have a daughter," she chuckled as though I was crazy.
"I see your husband you say?" I said sadly, of course that was to be expected. She never wanted a daughter so of course when she had the chance she would try to forget she had one.
"Well, I have to go its getting late," I said goodbye and kissed her on the cheek.
"Thank you for coming, and tell my husband I am waiting for him right here when you see him okay?" she smiled.
"Of course," I sighed deeply and walked out of the hospital.
AT THE PHOTO SHOOT
"Welcome young ones, I am the director of this shoot so please follow my instructions and everything will be all right. It has come to my attention that some of our viewers concerns were that we were presenting the wrong ideas about teenagers," he announced.
Finally, I thought, some people out there agree with me.
"Well today as you see how there are many new young faces, and many aspiring to hit it big, I have gathered the youth of today to portray to me what is the real teenager. Now whoever can convince me will have the cover page and maybe a shot or two with Senri Shiki," he proudly announced.
Right when his name was mentioned I could hear the people squeal in delight.
"Move it or lose it people," a voice boomed.
That couldn't have been anybody else but Chiharu.
"Sorry, I am late Sean, I had to get my hair done for this shoot," she said flouncing her hair.
"Of course not, Miss Chiharu," he said in a falsetto voice.
"If you have any questions ask my father," she said pointing at him.
"Of course how could I forget your father, my boss," he said gritting his teeth.
It seemed to me that he did not have a liking to Chiharu, seeing from another standpoint it seemed her father arranged her to have this photo shoot.
"WHAT IS SHE DOING HERE!?" Chiharu demanded.
Her eyes were wide and her mouth was wider as she pointed at me with her long fingernails.
"Well, it's the other models, if you were here on time you would have known why but enough time has been wasted your majesty I need to get on with my photo shoot," Sean the director said annoyed.
Since the shoot was from the order of your first name I knew I would be last. Many models before me were really tall and thin but they had such mature looks. Some of them I recognized on other popular magazines, they all looked so sophisticated. I looked like a little preschooler among them, now I was getting nervous. I watched Chiharu walk up there in her two inch heels and try to strut to the camera what the director didn't want.
"Look hon, on my memo I said I was going for a new look, I am done with the sexy teen look I want something new, and I know that teens are not wearing that revealing dress on the streets. So either you go get changed or get out of here and quit wasting my film," he said harshly.
"What do you mean? This is what teens wear!" Chiharu argued.
"Look, get with the program or leave."
"You are so going to be fired."Chiharu said stomping out.
Pretty soon it was my time and I was getting really hot.
"Rima Touya," the director called.
I walked up in the in front of the green screen with a black blouse that had silver lining and a soft white skirt that flowed with the slightest wind.
"Hmm, pigtails interesting," commented the director.
"Go ahead and give me a smile," said the camera man.
I was about to but I froze, for some reason my muscles weren't reacting at all. Usually at my photo shoots I was calm and could do anything I wanted but now with more cameras and more people looking at me it was nerve wrecking.
"Come on honey you have to give me something here," the camera man said.
I wanted to leave, this was too scary for me to handle. As a habit whenever I was nervous I would place my hands over my heart as if it is going to pop out because of all the fear.
"I-"
"Just calm down and relax," a voice whispered. In an instant a pair of arms wrapped around my waist and I could feel the warm breath of someone breathing on my neck. It seemed as though it was in slow motion but I faced the person and felt their warm body on my back. Immediately cameras were flashing and people were in awe over something.
The person behind me was Senri Shiki!
I was in shock to see how close our faces were forgetting the fact that he was holding me!
"That's it! That picture that shot it's perfect!"The cameraman announced.
"I know, the new theme will be the innocence of teens, how they are no longer children but not quite adults!" The director cheered as he pretended to cry.
Reality hit me when I realized the photo shoot was over, and I felt that his hands were still around my waist and I tried to move them away gently but his hold was firm and tight.
"Um, could you, um let me go," I asked nervously looking back at him.
He was still staring straight at the camera, and with the same expression.
"You're the first girl that doesn't want me to hold her, you're sure you aren't enjoying it?" he asked in a straight forward fashion and chuckled.
"Let me go you pervert," I said embarrassed and I could feel the heat on my face as I shoved him.
I walked away without turning around towards Carrie, she seemed to be in a frozen position, with her eyes wide and shock on her face.
"Carrie?" I said in a worried tone.
"I think you got the cover, you got the cover, you got the cover, YOU GOT THE COVER," she jumped with each word phrase getting louder and louder.
"I don't know about that-"
"Rima Touya ! Yelled Chiharu.
"I cannot believe you went behind my back and did what I told you not to do," she said huffing and puffing.
"Um, how can I go behind your back if I am not even your friend?" I asked.
"I will make you regret taking away my opportunity with a shot with my Shiki," she hissed as she marched out with he heels clicking angrily in each step.
"Wow, don't tell met that is the school girl that you were talking about?" Carrie nodded.
"Unfortunately that was her," I sighed.
"Ah, Rima come here for a second," the director requested.
"We would like to do an interview with you for the issue, do you mind."
"Um well actually, I wouldn't like any personal information about me out yet, I am going to have to decline the interview," I answered.
"Ah, what a shame but I understand where you are coming from, there will be extra attention on you if this gets out and it will be very stressful." The director agreed.
But in truth I didn't want anything posted about me because the fact that my life wasn't a normal teenage life. I had a mother that forgot me and a father that hated me, I wanted to try to create an image of myself before the public finds out, even if it is false it is better then the truth.
"So, how did you like the photo shoot? You don't seem that excited to have been in a shot with me?" Senri Shiki asked.
"You are really full of yourself you know that," I attempted a smile trying very hard not to be nervous around him.
"Your smile isn't sincere or joyful, what happened in your life that made you like this?" He asked as he lifted his hand and caressed my cheek.
I slapped his hand away, and glared at him for asking such an awkward question.
"Its none of your business and something you could never understand," I answered.
I could feel my cheeks burning up again.
"Shiki, could you sign this for me," one of the models trying out asked shyly.
"Well of course," he said a soothing tone.
There was something about him that made him different from the others. He seems to have a deeper understanding then someone his age, the body of a young person but the mind of a wise sage. What the heck was I saying, he just said two lines and I already think he is like the Great one.I took this opportunity to leave before he could make me blush anymore.
But I was very excited and glad that my modeling career was finally getting a hit and going somewhere!
That's the end of that. Senri came into the picture at least, but yeah I am not going to make their modeling the whole point of the story, she is in high school this was just a starter for the story. I will update every week, or try at least for you guys. SO thanks and feel free to comment so I know there are people out there who want to read this and I hope you enjoyed. And if there aren't any reviews for this chapter I am dropping it, I could be doing either AP-Cal , AP-Bio or Ap-Lit homework and test preparations instead!
