The venue went from a practice stage to a charity event packed with guests and designers in the blink of an eye. The night was successful yet draining, but lucky for the first years, the event was followed by an after party - because one can never party too much in France.

"Is it just me or it's getting really hot in here?", said Violet eyeing the crowd as she fanned herself with a pamphlet. "Maybe it's because Adam's here", joked Sunny, on the contrary she looked dead serious. She may be slow but she knew her bff enough to know that Violet was crazy about him. Violet blushed in embarrassment. "Omg! Heart eye emoji! You should talk to him Vi", said Sunny almost crying of happiness. "I don't know Sunny, he doesn't seem to be interested luv". "Well, think again", said Sunny spotting Adam approaching the duo behind Violet's back. Violet turned around discretely, she could not believe her eyes. "Ladies", said Adam calmly, "I just wanna thank you for your cooperation tonight, your work turned out magnificent". Sunny was not gonna let Violet get lost in the zone, so she poked her (bff signal for 'don't f it up') before shuffling away like a jellyfish - only Sunny knew if it was to give them privacy or because she got distracted by cheesecake. "Merci, I mean...no problem Adam, we love giving back...", said Violet as she eyed the party to find Sunny giving her a thumbs up with a mouthful of cheesecake, "...Do you wanna talk about how much you and I love to give back?", she managed to say. Adam already looked impressed by Violet's effort so he simply said, "I'd like that", before strolling towards the exit.

The idle conversation went on all the way to the courtyard, where most people go for 'fresh air' during parties like those. "So...what's your story?", asked Violet avoiding a conversation drier than the Sahara desert. "I uh...graduated at age 13, I've always had a passion for dancing but fashion was a big part of me too so I perused both and here I am, I've been it the industry for about two years now", he said twirling one of the locks of his luscious curly hair, "I have to say, you're a star on the runway". "Thanks", said Violet, her heart did a cartwheel, "I wanted to be a model at some point so the runway part of your lesson was a breeze, but the dancing part...not so much". "I know, I heard you can totally boogie", nudged Adam, "but to be honest, seeing you in rehearsal today I can tell that you're naturally a fast learner, you'll be great". "I am?", said Violet as something in her clicked, not just because she realised Adam actually noticed her during rehearsal but also because she happened to get a genius idea.

"Adam, you could teach me!". "Uh...I don't know if anybody told you but...I'm your teacher", said Adam dripping in sarcasm. "Ya I mean to lip sync! I'm entering this lip sync contest, and my channel literally depends on winning so at this point it's go big or go home for me". There was a long pause, only distant talking and music could be heard. "Do you really want your performance to stick out?", asked Adam after getting an idea. "More than anything", answered Violet desperately. "Then I got you covered, we need an entertainment for day 7, I'm confident that I can get you lip sync ready for you to put on a show for us, so what do you"-

"Thankyouthankyouthankyou", interrupted Violet with a tight hug, then giving him some personal space she asked, "so when do we start?". "Right now", he said before playing Need someone by Zara Larson on his phone, took Violet's hands, pulled her close, and they freestyled their way into the night. Violet's Fashion week now consisted of dance rehearsals, fashion events and shows, and learning lip sync techniques from Adam whenever they both had free time. Sooner or later she would become a dancing queen.
