Anna Sui fashion show rehearsal,
Thursday, 3:30 p.m. ,
Beverly Hills, California
"Girls! Will you please shut up, and get in your walking order!" yelled Brandi, the runway assistant. Massie rolled her eyes impatiently as she waited for the rest of the models to get in order. "Alright. Now as you all know, this is Anna Sui's BIGGEST fashion show yet. She really outdid herself on this one. The outfits are very crazy, but cute. Now as models, your job is to walk, and look fierce while you walk. But you can't do that if you are talking all of the time. Now, when I say your name say here. Carolina Pantoliano?" "Here." "Massie Block? Massie Block? Hello? Where is she?!" Massie stepped out of the ladies room at that exact moment. Brandi looked straight at Massie. "Why where you in the bathroom?! We thought that you were missing!" Massie put her hands on her hips. "What? Can't I use the restroom? Its like I leave for two minutes and then you like freak!" Massie strutted back to her spot next to Claire. Massie and Claire both giggled at Massie's outburst. Brandi glared. "Ok you know what?! I really don't care if any of you are here or not, so here is what I'm doing, this year we are changing it up a little bit. Now every girl will have an assigned partner for the runway. You have to stay by the partner at all times, and you will walk down the runway next to them. But, your partners are going to be male models. Now, since I really don't wanna go over everything individually, I'm posting the list by the bathrooms." Brandi left quickly, and posted the list. Immediately Claire and Massie ran to see their partners.
Massie Block : Mark Loren
Claire Lyons : Julian Schalk
"UGH! Great! Our partners are GUYS?! And my partner is like some Mark Loren guy!UGH! I am sooo over guys!" Massie complained. Claire smiled and said," Well if he is a model he can't be that bad. I mean I don't know who Julian Schalk is." Just then two tall, slender men came up to the girls. "Hey are you girls Massie and Claire? Nice to meet you guys. I'm Julian, and this is Mark. I'm from Sweden, and Mark is from Maine." Claire smiled at Julian. He was so cute! He was tall, slender, blue eyes, blond hair, and a crest white smile. He looked exactly like the model on the Abercrombie bag that Claire had seen a girl carrying earlier!
Meanwhile, Massie was giving Mark a once over. He was tall, slender, honey blond curls, striking green eyes, adorable smile that showed off his no-need-for-braces white smile. Massie had decided that she liked his face a lot. She also liked how shy he was with her. Almost like a little boy who had a crush on her! "Hey, I'm Massie. So you are from Maine? Thats nice. I have one question for you. Did someone just kidnap you?" Mark looked up at Massie and looked confused. "Um, not that I know of. Why?" Massie laughed and said," Then why are you shaking? C'mon I want you to meet my friend Claire." Massie turned to Claire. "Hey Mass. This is Julian. He is swedish. And look, he even has swedish meatballs that he brought us!" Massie smiled. "This is my partner Mark. Ok so lets get in line you guys, because it looks like they are starting to practice already."
Massie and Claire ran over to their spots. Julian and Mark stayed and watched. The song "Wind it up" by Gwen Stafani started playing. Massie put on her catwalk face, and strutted out. When she got to the end of the runway, she turned her head ever so slightly so that everyone could see the good side of her face. Next out was Claire. Just as Claire was about to strut out, Anna Sui herself walked into the room, and sat down to watch. Claire felt her stomach contract. "Claire its ok. Anna isn't judging you. If you think about it, then you will just screw up." Massie said as she briefly passed Claire. Claire focused her mind on how cute Julian was instead. And it worked. Claire looked like a more graceful version of Giselle on the runway. When she got to the end of the runway, she blushed a little, and smiled with her eyes.
After she was done, Anna Sui came up to Claire and said, "That was amazing! And I loved how you blushed at the end. And your eyes were smiling the whole time. I want you to meet my good friend. Actually, he is very handsome. He isn't a model, but he is a soccer player." Just then a tall man with thick black hair, one eye green, and one eye blue, appeared behind Anna. "Meet Cam Fisher." Claire gasped. Then she blushed and looked down. "Its nice to meet you Cam. Well I have to go. Thank you so much for your compliments Anna. See you later!" Claire ran away as fast as she could. Massie found Claire by herself in the bathroom. "Claire. How did you know who get backstage?" Claire shrugged. "He is Anna's friend. We should get our outfits on."
Massie and Claire got on their first outfits. Massie was wearing purple wide-legged jeans, suspenders, a white blouse with "Anna Sui" spray painted in red on it, and chunky red platforms. Her hair was in two braids, and she was wearing a little top hat. Claire was wearing a red mini skirt, rainbow suspenders, a metallic yellow bikini top under a white see-through blouse. Her hair was in two little pigtails, and she had a little top hat on her head. "We look like Japanese anime characters." Massie said flatly. Claire giggled. "Yeah, but cute ones at that! And look, our bright red lipstick looks like the kind that Japanese women used to wear when they were geishas!" Massie and Claire both laughed. The show started in 20 minutes.
Massie and Claire got themselves ready to walk. Julian was talking to another model, and obviously flirting. Claire felt a pang of anger towards Julian after that, and all of a sudden he didn't seem that cute anymore. Massie came only to find Mark talking to another guy model. "Hey Massie, I want you to meet my boyfriend Blaze Cospatra." Massie almost fell backwards. "Boyfriend?! Your gay?!" Mark nodded slowly. Blaze extended his hand for Massie to shake. Massie shook it. "Its very nice to see you Massie. You are all that Mark has been talking about for the last hour!" Massie smiled. Mark blushed and said," Well I want you to be my friend thats all. I like your style Massie. Its so realistic." Massie blushed a deep red. That was the first time anyone had ever said anything like that to her before. "Well I think that you already are my friend Mark. And Blaze. Hey Mark, we have to get in line for the catwalk, but it was nice to meet you Blaze."
Massie and Mark stood silently in line until it was their turn. Massie walked out first, then Mark caught up to her, and walked next to her. When Massie got to the end of the runway, she struck a fierce pose. Suddenly, she heard a guy scream her name. "Massie! Massie!" Massie blushed and looked right at a man with blond hair and shorts. It was Derrick. Derrick ran as fast as he could to the runway, and jumped up on it. Soon he was face to face with Massie.
His face was flushed from running so fast, and he had something behind his back. "What are you doing?! Get off the runway and stop ruining the show!" Derrick looked hurt, but remained where he was. The music had stopped, and now all eyes were on her. "Massie I want you back. I was an idiot for breaking up with you. Now, I won't leave this spot until you kiss me, and say that you love me. I don't care if you don't mean it when you say it, I just want to hear it come out of your mouth once before I get taken off the stage." The crowd gasped, and Massie blushed even harder. "Derrick I... I can't. I don't know if I still love you." The crowd looked at Derrick sympathetically. "Well, then theres only one way to find out." Derrick grabbed Massie and kissed her. Massie tried to break free, but she just couldn't. Finally she just gave up, and melted away. The crowd gasped, then started to applaud. Massie instantly broke away, and blushed once she realized what she had done. Soon, there were paparazzi everywhere taking pictures.
Suddenly Derrick took Massie's hand, and put a tiny box in it. Massie opened it, only to find there, in a little container, a broach just like the"M" one that Massie had given Derrick when they were in 7th grade, except this one said "D". Massie felt her tears pour all over her face, while Derrick pinned it to her blouse. "See? Now we both have one." he held up his shirt where his broach was. Massie grabbed his arm and pulled him into a hug. By now the crowd was cheering, and clapping. Soon Massie had to say goodbye to Derrick. But this time, she didn't say goodbye in a breaking up kind of way, she said it in a way that implied, "I'm gonna see you soon" kind of way. Massie couldn't believe her luck.
Once Massie was backstage, Claire ran up to her and congratulated her on getting Derrick back. The rest of the show was a blur to Massie. But the one thing that she did remember, was seeing Derrick after the show, and smiling at him with a great tenderness, that nobody ever would have thought that she had. Now she, Massie Block, was happy again.
