The Arrival




Lalisa Manoban got her letter in the mail. The letter that told her her life was going to change.

She had been accepted into the Victoria's Secret modeling and photography competition. This was a big deal for many reasons.

One, the popularity from just being in the competition was outstanding. Her work would be noticed everywhere for just participating.

Two, it was almost like a vacation. The competition was in Melbourne, and you and your model pair would stay together in a beautiful modern cabin. All expenses paid.

Three, if you and your model did win, life would be easy. The prize money is 10,000 dollars for both pairs. You are also guaranteed a job working for Victoria's Secret modeling/photography. And say if you don't want to work for them, there are job offers lined up for you.

It's literally the dream, and Lisa was determined to win.

She was only worried a bit about her female pair. She didn't have time for anyone's bullshit. She knew what she wanted and it didn't want anyone to hinder her from forgetting it. And the fact she couldn't choose her model and they were assigned randomly annoyed her.

Her career wasn't the only thing on the line for this thing.

Lisa had everything she needed packed. She walked out of the house rolling her suitcase behind her, her camera bag hanging on her shoulder.

Her Uber was waiting on the curb rather impatiently. Lisa rolled her eyes at the guy's annoyance, he couldn't wait two goddamn minutes.

She got into the back and set her stuff down on the floor next to her.

"Airport," Lisa said to the driver in her usual hard tone.

~•~

She got to cabin grounds shortly after she landed in Melbourne.

Everyone was gathered at the entrance with their things. Photographers and models all mingling and laughing, waiting for direction.

Lisa wasn't about that, she was hear for a purpose not for leisure and frankly she didn't really like other people.

She put her headphones on and looked at her phone minding her own business.

She suddenly felt someone push past at her roughly and step with their high heel on her foot.

She grimaced pursing her lips together, she looked up a glare over took her face.

A woman in a big black hat, cat eye sunglasses, and black thigh high boots turned around and registered Lisa, like she was just realizing Lisa existed.

The anger only seared deeper into Lisa's face, "what the fuck? Can you not see over your ego."

She pulled the sunglasses down the bridge of her nose, revealing her ocean eyes which she narrowed Lisa like she was a piece of garbage.

"Grow a pair." Then she slid her sunglasses back up nose and walked away before Lisa could even get a word out.

Lisa clenched her jaw and furrowed her eyebrows mumbling curses in Thai.
