Sandy was walking down to her house with her head low. She finally got her house and Stan was right in front of her.
"Sandy, what's wrong?" He asked worriedly. "Are you sick?"
"Stan, I didn't get the job."
"Sandy…." Stan said as he hugged his little sister. "It's okay, there're more jobs out there in the world you know."
"But, we need that money."
"Don't worry about the money now. You should dedicate this day to yourself."
"Okay, thanks Stan, but I think I want to be alone for a while." Sandy walked upstairs and into her room. She jumped onto the bed and took out the book Sandy bought at the bookstore when she first met the young man.
Flashback
"Hello?"
"Sandy, it's Jon Torinan."
"Mr. Tor…er…Jon. Did you decide on who's going to get the job?"
"Yes, we've decided on who'll get the job. Sandy, I'm sorry, but you didn't get it."
"Oh, it's okay."
"But you were our next choice. If you have anymore job openings the company will give you a call."
"Okay, thanks." Then Sandy shut her cell phone and walked down the street with her head low.
End Flashback
"I should go look for another job anyways." Sandy flipped through her job finding list. "There's nothing that I really want…I should call Twinkle and we can spend the day or something."
Sandy got her cell out and called Twinkle.
"Hello?"
"Hey Twinkle! It's me Sandy."
"Oh hi! So what's up?"
"Nothing really, I was bored so I was wondering if you wanted to go somewhere."
"Sure! We should go to the movies. I heard there's a cool new romance we can watch."
"Romance?"
"Fine, how about we choose when we get there?"
"Sure, see you at the movies at…"
"11."
"Okay. Bye" Then Sandy hung up. She looked at her watch and it was 10. "I spent the night at her house, so I owe her….I guess." Sandy quickly got ready and she headed out the door at 10:45. She arrived at the theaters at 10:55.
"Hey Sandy!"
"Twinkle! Hi!"
"Did you decide on what to watch?"
"No not really."
"We should watch Stick It. It's about gymnastics you know."
"Okay." Sandy bought both their tickets even though Twinkle wanted to pay hers. They watched the movie and decided to go out eat lunch at the Chinese Buffet.
"That was weird what all the gymnasts did." Sandy exclaimed.
"I know, who would have known they'd do that!"
"But it was a pretty good movie. Since it was about gymnastics and competition."
"Speaking about that, there's a competition about 2 weeks. We should sign up and perform like we used to."
"Sorry Twinkle. I don't think I'll do it."
"Why not? It'll be like old times."
"I need to look of jobs, and I don't have the time."
"Oh Okay, here the form anyways if you want to."
"Thanks."
"Well, I got to go, it's about 3:00 and I need to go to Mr. Brown's store for the shift. Since today's Sunday, I guess I won't be seeing you there."
"Yeah, see you Monday then." Sandy said.
"Bye!" They both leave the restaurants in their separate ways. On the way home Sandy's phone started ring. BRING BRING
"Hello?"
"Hello? Sandy this is Jon."
"Hi, is there a job opening that you wanted to tell me about?"
"Yes, sort of."
"Before you go on, I don't think I'll interview for it."
"Sandy, it's not really a new job opening. You see the job you interviewed for well, the girl we chose decided to quit because she said it's ruining her image. So I was wondering if you'd like to…."
"I don't know what to say. Can I give you a call back later?"
"You go on and think. Modeling isn't a easy job."
"Thank you, bye." Sandy just looked up into the sky. "The job I wanted is in my hands but… I don't know if it's a good idea anymore… what if I don't like it?" Sandy was walking down the street on the hot day. Sandy looked at the sun and frowned. Sandy was starting get dizzy and then she fainted.
"Are you okay?" A familiar voice called out.
"Uh…" Then Sandy opened her eyes. It was the blonde-haired young man from Crystal Palace. "Uh…" Sandy quickly blushed and sat up. "I'm sorry."
"That's okay, but are you really okay?"
"I'm fine, I actually don't know what happened."
"You fainted but I'm glad I was there at the right time."
"Thank you."
"I heard you got the job at the Palace."
"I did, but I don't know if I should or not…."
"You really should, it'll be a wonderful experience."
"Is the pay good?"
"So, it's about the money, isn't it? Well, it's pretty good."
"No, it's just that my family has a debt problem and I want to help by paying it off."
"Good reason, well think about the job, Sandy." The blonde haired man was about to leave and then Sandy called out.
"I don't even know who you are."
"My name's Josh. Well, see you later." Then Josh starts walking away. Sandy just sat there on the bench and started thinking.
"Wait! Josh, please."
Josh turned around with a smile. "Yeah?"
"I…I…want the job."
"Go tell Mr. Torinan that, he'll be happy."
"Thank you." Then Sandy quickly ran off to her house. "Stan! Guess what?"
"You don't have to be so loud." Stan said as he walked into the room.
"I got the job! I'm going to be a model!"
"But you said…"
"The previous model decided to quit and I got the job!"
"That's great Sandy!" But Sandy was already going to her room and took out her cell. And called the company saying that she was going to take the job.
"Make sure that you come to work at Monday and the job starts at 10 through 4pm."
"Thank you! I'll be there tomorrow! Thank you again!" Sandy shut her phone.
"I can't believe it! I got my first official job! I should call Twinkle and…and…." Sandy looked at her clock, it read 6:00pm. "She's probably at her job. I'll tell her tomorrow."
KNOCK KNOCK
"Come in!"
"Sandy it's your mother."
"Mom, you should be lying down, I'll get dinner ready."
"Stan's working on that right now; I wanted to tell you congratulations!"
"Thanks mom." Sandy said as she hugged her mom.
"Now, I'm going to lie down, go eat dinner with your brother."
"Okay, good night mom."
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
"My first day at Crystal Palace." Sandy had to take several buses to get there because it's pretty far. Finally she entered the building.
"Sandy! You're finally here!" Jon called out.
"Mr. Torinan."
"Sandy, this is going to be your group members." Jon said as he pointed to two young girls. It was the same girls who Sandy bumped into. (A/N: From chapter 1)
"Hi! My name's Bijou!" The girl with ribbons said.
"My name's Pashmina! It's nice to be working with you!" The blonde one said with a big smile.
"Nice to meet you too, I'm Sandy."
"Hi Sandy!" Bjiou and Pashmina said in unison.
"Hi…." Sandy said with an annoyed tone. "These models are really preppy. Guess, I have to get used to it." Sandy said in her thoughts.
"Sandy come here, Bijou and I want to show you something!" Pashmina said excitingly.
"Ah..Okay." Sandy followed Pashmina while Bijou walked beside her.
"Is this your first time working as a model?"
"Yeah, is it hard?"
"I think it's pretty easy, I can't wait to find out who we're working with next!"
"Like other companies?"
"Yeah, I heard this time we'll have a rival."
"Wow…."
"We're here." Pashmina yelled out as she pointed to a room. "This is our room where we hang out and right across from here is your own dressing room. Ours is right next to yours."
"Wow, this is wonderful!" Sandy said surprised. "Do we have a job today?"
"Yeah, I think today we work with the guys."
"The guys?"
"Hey! What's up?" A guy's voice called out.
"Hey Sean!" Pashmina said happily. "Sandy, Sean is my guy modeling partner." Sean had dark brown hair and brown eyes.
"This is Matt." Bijou pointed to a white haired guy. "This is my partner. I think we're together because of our hair."
"Yeah, that's totally awesome. But who's my…."
"Hey!" A familiar voice said behind Sandy.
"Josh! You work here too?"
"Yep, and starting today, I work with you too."
"I guess you've found Sandy, son." Mr. Torinan said.
"Son?" Sandy said surprised.
"This old man is my dad, and I'm his son, and I work here."
"That's wonderful!" Sandy said happily.
"Sandy! We should get dressed for the job." Pashmina said.
"Jon, what's the theme today?"
"I've decided that the theme today is white! I think it'll look good for the Dove Soap."
"Okay, let's get dressed." Bijou said.
They all quickly got they're hair down and their clothes on. All three girls were waiting on the guy to get ready. Bijou had her hair in a ponytail tied with a white ribbon. She also had a lacy dress on. Pashmina had her hair down and her dress was simple but had a white flower on her side. Sandy had a short skirt with a lacy tank top. And of course, all their clothes were white.
"That dress is really pretty on you Pashmina." Sandy said trying to be nice.
"I like your outfit best. It's so you!" Bijou exclaimed.
"Girls, please get in front of the camera please. We'll take couple of photos with just you girls and then with the guys." The camera guy said.
The photos took about an hour and then they were all done.
"That was fun! Is your job always like this?" Sandy asked.
"Not really, most of the time it's pretty busy but today was fun." Pashmina answered.
"Pashy, I need a ride home for tonight."
"Okay Bijou. Sandy do you need a ride?"
"No I'm fine, I'm going to take the bus home."
"Okay, then see you tomorrow!" Pashmina said as she walked away.
"It was fun!" Bijou added.
"That was tiring but fun."
"Hey." Josh called out.
"Hi, I was about to leave."
"Is your home far away from here?"
"It sort of is, but I'll be fine."
"Where do you live?"
"At the south end of Summergold Ave."
"That's pretty far, why don't I show you a house not far from here. The company owns it so you don't have to pay for renting."
"That's a bit much."
"It's okay, let me show it to you." Josh took Sandy's hand and started walking. The house was only about a few blocks away. "This will be your home from now on. Have fun!" Josh said as he hand her a key.
"Wait!" But Josh was already gone. "I can't live in this house." Sandy started to walk away and took the bus home.
"I'm back."
"Sandy! How was your first day! You're back early though, it's only 4:30." Sandy's mom said as she hugged Sandy.
"The job ends at 4. Mom, I need to talk to you." Sandy walked over to the living room and sat down on the sofa.
"Sandy, is something bothering you?"
"Mom, my job is pretty far from here, and they offered me a house to live in for free."
"Sandy! Hurry up and pack your things! You should get there right away!"
"What! I thought you wouldn't want to go there."
"Of course I don't, but it seems like you want to and…." Sandy's mom looked down. "You're an adult now, physically and mentally, you should go and face the world yourself."
Sandy looked surprised but then she smiled and nodded. Sandy got all her things ready and started heading out the door.
"Bye Mom, Stan… drop by anytime you want."
"Bye Sandy. Be safe."
"I will thanks." Sandy hugged her mom quickly and then Stan.
"Bye Sandy, have fun at your job."
"I will, bye!" Sandy then went out of the house and took a taxi to her new home.
