I called him to confirm the date, but he told me that he had to change the plan he gave me an adress and said to meet him there. He told me to wear something class, I didn't know why but it's a date so I was going along with it.

I woke up today was the day, my first day actually. I got dressed, ate, took a coffee than got in the subway. I was really exited today was going to be a great day! At least that's what I thought...

I arrived in the hall of the school, it was my dream and it came true. First class was photography , I got teamed up with a girl named "Vanessa". She seemed nice...seemed. We started talking about who was going to pose, of course she said that she was obviously going to be the one to pose because,to quote her, "We want to make pretty pictures so not you". I passed on that, it was my first day I didn't want to be fired because I punched someone's face...Anyways we took good photos but I was happy that the class was over. Then after that I had filmmaking until lunch, it was really fun I met a girl named Hailey, she's really nice, I had lunch with her then I had screenwriting until the end of the day. The theme today was "how to wright classics while making them modern" which I loved.

I got out to get ready for my  date. I was wearing a black dress with black heels, my loose brown hair on my shoulders and some mascara on my lashes. I went to the adress he gave me. He texted me telling me that once I was in the street I should look for the house 21b. Arrivered in front of a gigantic grey house with big windows. I saw Matthew at the window he was waving at me. I got in front of the door, knocked and then...who would've know the one to answer the door was the one and only Vanessa. I was so shocked that I just stood there staring at her thinking I was dreaming. Matthew arrived at the door:   

Matthew: Do you two know each other?

Vanessa: Yes my dear brother she's at my school. From all the girls on earth you choose her? Look at her she's...

Matthew: Gorgeous *he smirked*

Vanessa: Ew! No she's short, has a bad posture, her hand are small , she got 3 extra pounds, she seems tired and...

Me: You're done now?

Vanessa: Well no I could've continue for hours you have so many imperfections but for the moment I'm finished.

Me: Great, so now should we do you? 

I entered the room not looking back at her, I knew she was mad. Matthew followed me. Once in front of his parent he putted his hand on the bottom of my back provoking chills through my all body. All of us went to sit at the table. The evening was pretty good, the meal was good, everything was good until...

Ms.Grey: So how and when did you two met?

Matthew: Well we met yesterday at a...

Me: The book store

Mr.Grey: The book store? Where?

Me: In Hell's kitchen on the 7th avenue? Why is there a problem?

Ms.Grey: You went there again? What did we told you?

Matthew: She's kidding! Don't worry.

I didn't understood what was going on so I asked Matthew if we could just talk for a minute. We went upstair in his room. There's was a lot of books and vinyls.

Matthew: Listen, I'm really rich like really rich so I have to act like it with my parents. So play along.

Me: I'm sorry what?

Matthew: It's complicated so pls just act like if... I don't know...like if your dad's rich. My parents want me to date pretty, wealthy, doll, dumb, clueless girls. Because they want me to look good in front of the ennemies.

Me: A: I can't pretend that my dad's rich...

Matthew: Why not?

Me: It's personal.

Matthew: Well what is so personal that you can't pretend that he's...

Me: Cause he's dead! Okay he died 2 weeks ago. Last wish? Not to lie about who I am! Not be ashamed of my family! SO  B: who the fuck are those enemies?

Matthew: Oh I'm...

Me: Sorry, yeah I know that doesn't answer my question.

Matthew: Companies enemies. We all have the family business and we all are in a little family war. It's to who's got the dumbest prettiest girl and who's the richest.

Me: So I have to pretend to be dumb to be with you and let your friends make sexist jokes like if I didn't get them?

Matthew: Well yeah...

Me: Well excuse me but I'm not going to do that. I'll take my things then I'll go. I wish you a happy life with your dumb doll wife, listening to some spoiled kids like you make sexist jokes and bragging about what daddy and mommy bought them.

Matthew: Wait I...

I didn't listen to him I stormed out of his room, went to his parents, thank them and told them I had to go back to my house. I was walking in the night in NYC , thinking of how in 4 days I already lived the bests and worst moments of my life. After taking some photos of the city I decided to go home because I had to work the next day. Tomorrow was going to be something I was sure of it. But for now I just needed to sleep.
