Magdalen Su'a
As I jolt out of bed reaching for the drapes of my hotel room, the light pouring in is nowhere near as much as I expected it to be. The bright city lights are still shining, the stars in the night sky look quite dull compared to the lights of New York City.
Turning around to face the rest of the hotel room I eye my alarm clock. I guess the time difference hasn't hit me yet. It's three in the bloody morning. I constantly toss and turn trying to find the comfiest position. Sleep just seems to be impossible right now.

The feeling of warmth has just crept on to my face. Fluttering my eyes open, a large amount of sunlight has seemed to have snuck it's way into my room. I must've forgotten to pull the drapes shut. Sitting up in my bed with a bit of bounce. Although five more minutes of sleeping in could be a bit nice. Throwing my head down on the soft and redeeming comfort that is a memory foam pillow, I can't help but glance at the clock. It reads: 9:55am. "shit." I mutter rubbing my eyes while I stumble out of bed.
Rummaging through my suitcase in a panic I pull out the outfit on top. An Anna Sui Spring/Summer 1994 button down shirt, a pleated denim miniskirt, some faux fur leg warmers, a pair of grape platforms, a fake leather tie and a couple of rings and chains. Applying a bit of mascara and eyeliner I frantically search for my lipliner and gloss before I order an uber. Not even bothering to eat breakfast. Seeing as my car is on it's way, I look around for a jacket to keep me warm, nothing quite goes with what I'm wearing already so I settle for my chloma shelter coat.
"Uber for Magdalen?". I hop into the backseat of the car, sharing my location with Mum.

"Ah good you're here! Mag's baby this is Ren, she'll show you around and then you can wander off if you want." Mum says greeting me with a hug. "Ok so like your Mom said before, I'm Ren. I'm at Parsons and I'm a fashion business management major." She says with quite a genuine smile on her face. I don't know why she looks like she's excited to be here. None of these students get paid to frantically run around doing errands while still trying to make it to all of their classes in the day. Ren takes me all around the building and then backstage.

Ren just continues to point everything out to me.

"And over there is where all the models will be and-"
