Life has been so hard after I lost everyone. Every day I have been going to the modeling classes and I make sure I don't fall asleep. I have been cutting down my diet, so I can have the perfect body and legs. I already have to the height, so that is at least of my worries.

I sold the house a few months ago and got some good money for it. I have been working a small part-time job, so I could have some extra money coming in. Last month I noticed that I have been getting an extra check. It is a lot of money too.  I live in a studio apartment which is good for me since it will be me for a while.

I got home from my class and placed everything down on the counter. I took off my shoes even though I still have to go out. I am supposed to go look for some ideas. I actually have my first show soon this is required for my class and I have three more and then they decide if I made the requirements for a model and things I would need to approve on.

If I make it then I get my own agent and my career will officially start. I can't wait for my first show, but it would be nice if I had somewhere there to watch me succeed. I went to my room and fixed my hair up a little since I literally threw on some clothes and put my hair into a ponytail. I combed out my hair and washed my face. I went into my closet and picked out a shirt and a pair of jeans.

I grabbed my purse and put everything I need into it. I left the house once again and I got into my car, well it's my parent's car. I sold the other one and I am planning on trading this one in and getting a new one after my first show. I went to a fashion store. 

I need to go somewhere with a fashion experience like Paris or maybe America. I started to go through the fabric. They are supposed to send out the theme soon. The only thing I have to find is a makeup inspiration. Really I don't have much to do. 

" Hello, Are you looking for anything specific?"

" Hi, no, I am just looking for inspiration since I am getting into modeling."

"  That is good to hear and you come to the right place. We have many ideas. There are some magazines over there by the register if you would like to take a look and I wish you luck," I went over to the magazines she was talking about and sat down in the chair nearby. I need to purchase these I probably can find these only though. I put down the magazines soon as I was finished looking through them. I looked around the store and started to write down some notes so I can give the designers some ideas, but not too big just something brief and simple.

I left the store and headed to the store to buy something for dinner. As I walked up and down each aisle to get what I needed and some things I desperately wanted. I realized I need some more toilet paper but the one I need is on the top shelf. I looked around for someone taller than me because I am not about to climb up the shelves to get what I need. My arm is just short by some inches.

Finally someone

" Excuse can you get that package of toilet paper on the top shelf," I said and pointed to the package.

" Of course," He had a deep voice and an accent. I love it. He has to be at least 6'4 and his hair is black. Maybe a couple of years older than me. He handed me the package of toilet paper.

" Thank you," I said and placed it into my basket.

"You're welcome-" He didn't finish his sentence because he stopped himself and left with a few items in his hands. He looks familiar, but I can't put my finger on it. It's probably nothing. I left the store and headed home. I know I wasn't going to cook because I am trying to watch my weight, but it's good to have some sort of food in the house. 

I can't get my mind off the man at the store earlier. I feel like I have seen him before like he was with my parents before. He was dressed nicely like he was a businessman. Maybe he is. I grabbed my laptop and started looking up CEOs in Italy. I have to find out who he is. I started to click on many links and business sites. I think I found out who he is, but he is the son of the CEO Malakai Gambino. It shows a picture of his family, but not the names. There are three boys and one girl. I bet he is the oldest he has to be. 

This doesn't make sense because I had never seen these people in my life before. I am just going to brush it off and leave it alone. 

I looked at my email and they have finally sent the theme. I am definitely excited for this one it's black and white swan themed. I am pretty sure they are going to give me black swan and I am here for it.
