I'm Still Breathing

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Stacy," Jamie Grey says, extending a hande. I gladly accept and shake his hand.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Grey." I say. I can't believe it. Jamie Grey is in front of me. After shaking his hand, I immediateky let it go and warmth starts to travel to my cheek.

"Jamie, Ms. Stacy here is free to have some modeling training and he could hire you if you have the guts to be the one," Ms. Carp says, I'm surprise that she's still here. I flush at her words and at embarrassment. It's not normal that I just met him and I'm going to talk about work. "I'll leave you two to talk about things." She says, leaving Jamie and I to talk.

"Nice speech by the way," Jamie says, as Ms. Carp leaves us. I smile and thank him. I turn my head and see Alec walking towards our direction. He was about to call me, but his eyes widen as he sees Jamie.

"Mr. Jamie Grey," Alec exclaim, shaking Jamie's hand. "A pleasure to meet you. I'm Alec Stacy, twin of Margo." I stand there, still speechless.

I can't believe that he's standing in front of me. I only see him in the television, billboards. I didn't know that he would come to our school and find capable models that could face his wrath in modeling.

"Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Stacy," Jamie says, as their hands let go of each other.

"Don't call me that," my ever so brother says, laughing. "Mr. Stacy is my dad."

After a few laughs, I left the boys alone as they start talking about their favorite basketball team. I walk to one table and grab a glass of champagne. Somebody's arm snakes around my waist and pulls me, making me gasp. I turn around and see Logan.

"Ms. Beth Stacy," He says, wearing his signature smirk.

"Mr. Logan Asher," I say, giving him a glass of champagne. I see Ashley walking towards us.

"Hey," Ashley exclaims as she sees Logan's arms around me. "Mr. Asher, remember? I'm your girlfriend."

We laugh out loud while Logan lets go of my waist and grabs the champagne that I offered him. Logan snakes his arm on Asgley pulling her closer to her. Both of them look at each other and kiss, making me groan. I roll my eyes and turn around, facing the table. I grab another champagne glass and drink.

This is whar I don't want that my two friends are in a relationship with each other. One time, they were having this heated argument in Ashley's room while I was there, watching everything. I think they were fighting about Ingrid and suddenly, Logan bursts out, saying, "Stop it you stupid git! I'm in love with you!" And that was the time Logan confessed his feelings to Ashley. Ashley stopped and they both started to have a heated make out session in front of me. I walked away before things get weird.

Finally, they let go. "Beth, I saw you and Mr. Jamie," Ashley Fitzgerald, the gossip girl. "What did you talk about?"

"Nothing. We didn't even talk," I complain. "Alec did most of the talking."

We chat and talk about our internships. Although at one point, I excuse myself to talk to my parents because they haven't spoken to me for half a day. I walk to my parents and surprisingly, I didn't die when I saw Jamie talking them.

"Oh, darling! Mr. Grey is just talking about you," My eyes widen, as I see him standing in front of my dad blabbering about photography. "He's asking for your acceptance for that little training he asked you." What? Shit.

"Wait," I spit out with anxiety. Jamie is asking for my what?"

"Mr. Grey asked you if you could be their model for the magazine," Hadley butts in. "A dream come true, GoGo."
