First Chapter
Mornings a Bitch!
She groggily reached for her alarm. She looked at it, 5:00 am. She laid her head back down and started to bang it on her pillow. Why oh why did she have to wake up so early, the answer was simple. Gotham traffic. It was awful to get up this early just to be ready in time, but it was her first day, no sense in having a bad reputation this early in the year. She had just moved into her adoptive parent's home six weeks ago and was already accustomed to the blazing traffic of cars that lined the streets, not to mention the traffic of people that covered the sidewalks. She was used to getting hit as she passed the bustling strangers trying to get to where they were going, praying to the heaven's they weren't late.
She had visited many of the shops that had lined the outside of her street of her mansion, including the little coffee house on the corner, plus the Produree and Colee stores that were around. She really wasn't looking for anything in particular, she didn't need anything, her adoptive parents were for lack of a better word, loaded. Her adoptive mom, Juliet Roth, was a top designer in Gotham and was editor in chief of fashion for the hit magazine Roth Runway.
Yeah, so she owned the magazine too, plus an actress/model. Her foster dad, Jack Roth, was a very famous director. He was making millions off the number one movie of the year, "Red Velvet Devil". She, Rachel, was starring in one of his new films already, even though she had only been living with them for two weeks. So she got up and got her clothes and went to her bathroom. She got undressed, hopped into the shower. Once she got out she started to dry her hair, which was a luscious black mixed with a dark purple color, which people found hard to believe it was her natural hair color.
She put it up into a ponytail with her bangs hanging down on either side of her face, one side fuller than the other. She put on her new Colee jean mini skirt and a blue camisole and a see-through white tee. She started to put on her black eyeliner and mascara and do a fade effect with her eye shadow using black as her base color. She also rubbed lotion down her face then applied her foundation. She then put different Fittani rings on her fingers and a chain necklace with a heart on it. She also wore Fittani earrings; she wore heart studs in her second holes and silver hoops in the first ones.
She walked back into her room and checked herself in her full length mirror, she thought she looked like Hoe Barbie or maybe one of those Bratz dolls that were all the rage with little girls these days, but she shrugged that off. This was about being fashionable, not about feeling comfortable and relaxed like wanted to feel but even more than that she wanted to impress Juliet. Juliet was her hero for more than one reason and she wanted to be more like her. And why shouldn't I be more like her, we practically grew up the same way. She let the thought bury itself, no use in getting worked up over the past.
Her mother's stylist was going to come over and check up on what she picked out. She didn't care much, Juliet like the ideas she had about it. But he'd come over and of course pick out odds and ends that he didn't think was right, then he'd fix them, sometimes in five minutes, sometimes longer. She hated doing it, but she wasn't about to disappoint her first, realfamily. She couldn't mess this up now. She couldn't go back where she had been almost two months before. Was it really two months ago, she questioned herself. Once again she pushed the depressing thought out of her head. She suddenly wondered what Juliet would do if she came out wearing sweats, ratty old gym shoes and her holy t-shirt (which is all she had brought with her when she moved out of the orphanage). Meh, probably faint, she thought to herself. She shrugged the thought off and put on her Produree onyx colored high heels.
She walked out into the long hallway, down the stairs and then into the kitchen. She had to eat a bunch of fat free, sugar free, vitamin and mineral enriched soy based foods so that she could keep fitting into the clothes Juliet kept buying her. She wasn't fat, but she wasn't model skinny either, and all top designer clothes were made for the tall and the super skinny. She was slowly getting used to all the soy, but sometimes she'd have to force it down. It was like eating stale cardboard, but it was better than the orphanages food which tasted much worse. She wasn't at all surprised when she walked into the formal dining room to find Juliet going over magazine reviews and the months new fashion collection.
"Hi," Rachel said with a smile.
"Good morning, I see you're wearing Colee's latest skirt design." Juliet replied, now eyeing Rachel's outfit. They were still getting used to each other and most of the time it was small talk, anything else seemed too personal and awkward. Rachel sat down and ate a soy bar with a soy protein shake. Juliet was quietly sipping her coffee looking through The Book, the book of all the design's for this month's fashion exposé. Think of something to say. Think stupid brain. Think, she said inside her head.
"Oh, Fernando is coming over, says he wants to make sure you look perfect for your first day, said he wants to hire your own Glam Squad (A/N: a make-up artist, hair-stylist, and a clothes designer) to have for everyday," she laughed into her cup. "By the way, be careful at school, no doubt you'll already have admirers," she saids looking up at her.
"Don't worry, I will," Rachel said, trying her best to make sure she didn't sound like a fraud, but instead pleasantly happy.
It's not that she didn't like getting anything she had ever wanted on a moment's whim, it was just that…well it was a lot to spring on a fifteen year old orphan. She was just starting high school, just got a new family, was becoming a star, and already had paparazzi out the ass. And who could be perky at 5:30 in the morning anyway. Just then her new dad Jack strode into the room and sat down his briefcase. The butler came in and sat down jack's breakfast which was comprised of exotic fruits, eggs, sausage, ham, bacon and a glass of water and some coffee.
"Will that be all sir?" butler asked politely.
"Could you grab my black jacket Henry?" Jack asked the butler in a polite tone also.
"Right away, sir" Henry said, he then proceeded to walk out. He came in a few minutes later, jacket in hand.
Sir, Mr. Lopez, is waiting outside with the car, should I wrap up the rest of your meal to go?" Henry replied.
"Yeah, alright, I guess…"Jack said getting up and picking up his briefcase, rushing to get his jacket on.
Henry swiftly wrapped Jacks breakfast up and put it in a bag and stood by the door waiting for jack.
"Love ya hun." Jack said as he gave Juliet a kiss.
"Bye Rae," he said as he gave her a hug and a wink.
Then he left out the door for his long day of paperwork, filming, directing, and writing new movie scripts.
"Oh and Rachel, we'll be riding with some of my friends from work, their daughters are about the same age as you."
"Awes- I mean, that's great." Rachel said, trying to mind her manners.
Rae's POV
'Just great, she thought to herself, more people to impress! Morning's a Bitch!'
(1): camisole - a tank top, basically for see-through tee's so your bra doesn't show
(2): I do it all the time, you start at the end of your eye or the front of it using a lighter tone to a medium tone to a darker tone, like I do light gray, almost white, to a gray then to a black, it is awesome looking!
(3): Fittani, my version of Tiffany & Co.
(4): my version of Prada
(5)Colee something I made up. we'll say that it's the fashion line run by the Anders Family
