"I know you think I'm funny but I'm not exactly on comedy hour" Beca said.
Chloe couldn't hide her smile. The two of them were in the locker room. They hadn't seen each other much due to them being in different classes. They had both been busy with their after school activities.
"We're not going to wear each others underwear for the photo shoot" Beca said.
Their current discussion was the result of Beca catching Chloe wearing her underwear again. Although Beca couldn't really say anything because she herself was wearing Chloe's underwear. It seemed to be their thing to do on gym days.
"But Becs, you look so hot in my underwear" Chloe said with a pout.
"I'm not going to do a photo shoot in my underwear. And I don't think Aubrey would do that either" Beca said.
"I'm pretty sure Stacie wouldn't have a problem with it" the redhead said with a smug smile.
"It's going to be an interview for a teenage magazine not for Playboy, princess" Beca answered.
The day of the interview and photo shoot approached and Beca already regretted it. Her usually bubbly girlfriend was even more bubblier than usual. She didn't even know how that was even possible. But she was. Mixed with Emily's excitement it was a torture for her. They had invited the junior to come along with them because without her they wouldn't even have this interview.
The two girls were constantly chatting and laughing. They even dragged Beca along with them to shop for the perfect outfit for three fucking days in a row. Personally Beca didn't care how Chloe was dressed. In her opinion her girlfriend always looked fabulous. They had tried to get her a new outfit but she simply had refused. She would wear her usual gothic outfit.
Finally interview day was here. Beca already wished the day was over. Chloe had woke her up way to early for her liking and was constantly talking. She wasn't a morning person and she needed at least four black coffee before feeling more like a human instead of a zombie.
The seven of them would be picked up at their school by a car from the magazine. When the seven of them waited they were shocked to see that Cynthia Rose had sent a pink limo.
"Hello ladies, my name is Richard and I'm your driver for today" he said to them.
He opened the door to let them in. As they sat down they were amazed by the drinks and candy that was put there for them.
"I could get used to this lifestyle" Stacie said.
"It's a nice ride" Aubrey agreed.
Jessica and Ashley sat quietly together. They weren't exactly friends with the other girls and didn't know what to say. Chloe seemed to notice that the two girls weren't comfortable.
"Are you excited for today?" she asked them.
"I am. This is something I never thought would happen. And I think it's a great opportunity to learn how it works in real life" Ashley said.
"I'm excited to take photos for a famous magazine" Jessica answered.
"I think you both do great. You work really well as a team. That's why I wanted you two to do it" Beca said.
"We're both still surprised and honored that you wanted us, considering how we treated you" Jessica said softly.
"It happened. It's in the past" Beca said simply.
After Beca's words the two girls visibly relaxed. Apparently their actions in the past had bothered them.
After two hours they arrived at the magazines headquarter. Cynthia Rose was alreadty waiting outside for them.
"Welcome. Did you had a good ride?" she asked them as soon as they got out of the car.
"It was amazing, thank you" Aubrey answered for all of them.
When they follow the woman inside she gives them a quick tour through the building. The office is surprisingly colorful with rainbow flags decorating several offices. The people who worked there were as colorful and the decorating.
As they sit in Cynthia Rose's office, the woman started to explain what will happen today. She wants Jessica and Ashley to work with the magazines photographer and reporter so that they will know what they have to do.
"I encourage you to give your own input if you think that will work out better. After all you both know them better we do" she says to the two girls.
She grabbed her phone and a few minutes later two women appeared.
"This are Denise and Flo our photographer and reporter" she introduced them.
After the introduction Jessica and Ashley followed them for the instructions for today.
"You're Emily right?" she asked the tall junior.
"Yes I am. It's an honour to meet you" Emily says excitedly.
"I understand that you made the Facebook page for your Double Royalty. I have seen it and I must say I'm impressed. Maybe you can film today for a blog for your page" the Afro-American woman suggest.
"Oh my stars! I would totally like that" the young girl said.
"Is she always so upbeat?" Cynthia Rose asked the other girls.
"Unfortunately she is" Beca answered quickly.
"Maybe you should talk with Jean our social media consultant. I think she can help you to make your page better" she continued.
"I would like that" Emily said politely.
After Emily left them to work with Jean, the four girls were left behind with Cynthia Rose.
"What I want from you is to be yourself. Talk about how you met and became couples. Maybe something about your hobbies. But I think it will work out quite well. If there's something your not comfortable talking about I want you to say that" Cynthia Rose explains them.
Cynthia Rose made sure they were comfortable the whole time. And with her clear explanation of today the knew what was expected from them. When they had questions she took the time to answer them.
After some time the interview was ready to begin. Ashley started with questions for them individually. After that she asked questions for the couples. And the last thing were the questions for them as a group. In the meantime Emily was filming it for her blog. She had been given excellent tips on how to do it. Jessica took photos during the interview.
After the questioning was done, it was time for the separate photos as well the couple photos and group photos. To everyone's surprise Cynthia Rose had asked if she would take some pictures of Emily as well because without her they wouldn't be here today.
The bouncy junior was taken aback by this request. She didn't feel she had done anything special to earn this.
'Come on Emily. You deserve it. It's your time to shine" Chloe assured the younger girl.
"Dude, this is all thanks to you. It's part of your legacy" Beca added.
"Yeah come on Legacy" Stacie said.
With the encouragement and support from the other girls, Emily gave in.
After the work was done they were invited for a lunch. They all got hungry and accepted the invitation.
The atmosphere during the lunch was comfortable and relaxing. They all had fun and were laughing. Even Jessica and Ashley were relaxed.
"I've seen the pictures you took and they are amazing. I understand now why Beca only wanted to work with you. The same goes for you Ashley. You are a talented reporter young lady" Cynthia Rose complimented the girls.
They blushed because they weren't used to get recognition for their hard work.
"Thank you" they said in unison.
"It's that you don't agree with the lifestyle of my readers, otherwise I would offer you both a place here at the magazine when you finished school" the black woman continued
They didn't know what to say to that. They really had enjoyed working with the magazine today but they had only done it because it was a ticket to a good education. But secretly their view of people with a different lifestyle had changed. They just weren't ready to embrace it.
The ride back was comfortable. They were all exhausted but satisfied.
