CHAPTER 2

AFTER 7 YEARS:

I was walking sweating and furious because I was wearing a large black hoodie whit some black cotton pants and a hat on my head in the middle of the summer and because I was forced to go out on my day off to bring snacks to all the girls even tho I had work I needed to finish and they were just sitting doing nothing.

The cashier was putting everything in a bag as I was searching for my card but of course, I will not find it easily "hurry up" the old woman behind me said in an angry tone "I am sorry" I answered embarrassed of the situation "here it is" I said giving it to the cashier while apologizing again "it doesn't work" the cashier said annoyed "try it again" I sounded confused cause that was impossible "it doesn't work" I just began looking for another card;

 "if you don't have money why would you go buy all of this" the old woman stated, looking at almost 300 dollars worth of candy, "it's not that I don't have money," I said when a large man passed his card looking at me in anger "can you hurry up? Some of us have work," he said behind his mask, he was taller than me, he was probably 6 feet tall his shoulders were huge that even in a large black hoodie it looked tight and whit black jeans and some white converse half of his face was covered whit the mask and the other half was covered whit his blond hair.

The boy got out to find me waiting for him "wait" I spoke as he sighed looking down at me "what do you want again?" he said clearly mad, I opened my bag as he lowered it "I am so sorry but I can't sign anything outside of meet and greets" he said walking away, 'what does this man think he is?' I thought to myself as I ran toward him "I don't want the stupid signature I just wanted to give you this" I said giving him 500 dollars that he paid for me in the store "you can keep it, you need it more than me" he said this time lowering his mask, I know this man, I grabbed his hand and put the money in it laughing at his comment "I am 100% sure you need it more than me" I expressed laughing at his comment he looked at me up and down and chuckled "I don't think so" was the last thing he said before going away leaving me too stunned to speak.

AFTER 1 WEEK:

"the manager is calling you," Lilia said, while I was taking a shower "okay tell him I will pass by," I said. After showering I got ready wearing a formal casual outfit since I had a meeting, my outfit was formed by a black skirt, a black leather jacket, a white turtle neck, and some white boots.

The manager doesn't usually call me in the morning so I knew that it was important. I knocked on his door "come in" he said not taking his eyes off his computer, "I am here" he closed his computer and told me to sit "so you guys need to go to a festival" I sighted relieved, I thought that it was something uncommon, I was stressed for nothing, I asked when "tonight" here we go "what? this night? no that is impossible we can't get ready in this short time" we really couldn't, after all, we needed 8 dresses 8 makeup artists 8 of everything and that was impossible, and if we don't look good, especially the other member will get a hard time whit the company, they might even get fired cause our beloved company cares about appearance so much and the other member since it didn't pass a lot of time since their last scandal, that would break them, I was thinking of a solution when the manager spoke, "okay let's do this, go alone I am sure you can get that right?" I felt bad because I didn't want the other to feel executed but I had no choice.

After the meeting I headed toward my saviour and my friend, Rokinda, she was my makeup artist and a stylist I already called her and explained everything to her by phone.

Rokinda was a black beautiful girl, she had those big eyes that would make you want to do anything for her, plumpy lips, small nose, I was always jealous of her body, she had a curvy structure that every girl dreamed of, her moves would make you look at her mesmerized, she looked unreal all the times.

"come in, hurry up go to the shower," Rokinda sounded out of breath, running all around the house "I already showered," I answered as I followed her whit my eyes from one room to another "good now go to the living room there is a dress in the sofa wear it and I am coming," she said again heading to her room. The dress was a long red dress that was opened from behind and in the front of my legs "I know you don't usually wear things like that but that's all I could find" I loved dresses and getting ready when I am actually in a good mood, but I hated having so much attention and I am sure this would give more of it, but I had no place in putting a fight since I was already causing enough trouble to my friend "sit there and wear this" Rokinda said giving me a black cap to protect the dress from getting dirty.

We finished the makeup and hair, it was light makeup whit red lipstick and hair parted in the middle and silked. The manager sent the car whit the driver as I was waiting in the car holding my phone, I called the members again but none of them answered.

"here we go again," I said getting off the car alone since I didn't have a partner but that was normal. At the beginning of my career, I always felt uneasy and inelegant going alone to parties or festivals but now I actually feel more powerful heading alone.

After taking pictures I was heading inside when I heard girl's scream's I turned around to see who came but I couldn't see a lot. "You came, the backstage is from here," a young woman said to me "oh sorry I am not..." my phone rang it was the manager "oh Nari hey so umm... you will be the MC today I am so sorry I just knew too, have a nice evening goodbye," he said not even letting me talk cause he knew what would happen if he let me talk.

"What did she say?" the assistant asked Mr Muzan, the manager, "nothing" the assistant was worried since it was her fault "ohh what will happen now what if she refuse," the manager comforted her "don't worry she will not even tho she seems evil she actually has a kind heart she wouldn't want to put others in a hard situation," the manager said confidently and he was right cause she just accepted her fate and headed toward the room they gave "your makeup look so good," the makeup artist said, "yeah my makeup artist is so good you must know her Rokinda Cassie" she obviously knew her cause Rokinda was worldwide famous.
