"The next suprise is that you and you friends will get to-" He cut off when the door burst open and the receptionist flew in.
"I didn't miss it, did I?" She said this quickly while gasping for breath, making the fact that she had just ran down the hall quite obvious.
"Did you tell them yet?" She repeated, an anxious look on her face.
"I was getting there," Mr. Daniels stated curtly. Apparently, he didn't like her very much."Girls, since I'm sure she didn't introduce herself, I will do it for her. This is Jamie."
"Yes, yes, sorry about that." Jamie added, looking slightly ashamed.
"Now, as I was saying, you and your friends will be given two days to run around the shopping district in downtown London and buy whatever you wish. As far as money goes, you have no limits, as long as the purchases you make are reasonable. No cars, and nothing around that price range. Everything will else will be taken care of."
I looked at Alex, my eyes the size of saucers. This time we were silent, looks of utter disbelief and excitement on our faces.
"Oh...my...GOD!" was all that I could manage, my outburst reflected in Alex's expression. "Thankyouthankyouthankyou, a million times thank you!"
Jamie laughed, and Mr. Daniels had a look on his face that clearly said "Am I good, or am I good?"
"Get on with it, before I tell them myself!" Jamie said, and the man sighed.
"You mean there's more?" Alex was the one who blurted this time, and echoed my thoughts. You know, I think we might be a tad to close.
"Yes! And you'll love it!" Jamie gushed, and the three of us exchanged the happy little sounds that only girls are capable of.
At this point, the phone rang, and we all got quiet. Jamie went over to answer it.
"Hello, Mr. Daniels office...He's in a meeting right now...Oh! But it's only one o'clock...Yes...Alright...We'll be down soon." She set the phone down with a slight click, and turned to us.
"Well, our lovely meeting has just been interrupted. The photographers arrived early, and they're downstairs waiting. Off to the photo shoot we go!" Jamie told us perkily.
"Ph-photo shoot?" I questioned.
"Oh Jade, don't be such a wimp! It'll be fun!" Alex bubbled, slapping me on the back.
"Um..I don't do pictures." I pointed out.
"Well, you do now," was the reply I received, and before I could say anything, I was being steered out of the office, down the hall, and into an elevator. I sighed. Lovely. Just lovely.
When the metal doors in front of me opened, I lost it. I turned and ran into the back of the elevator, fell, smacked my head on the handrail thingy, and landed ungracefully on the floor. Great. I just made a fool of myself. With about 20 people watching me, mind you.
