Chapter Three

Chloe gripped Zoe's hand as she opened her e-mail. It would tell her where she was going, but not who her partner was.

"It says Florida," Chloe said, "Where even is that?"

Zoe rolled her eyes, "Are you serious?"

"Nevermind that. It says that there will be cameras inside, but there won't be a whole film crew inside the house, what about you Zo?"

Zoe smiled, "About that.."

"What happened?" Chloe asked.

"I've decided not to enter. I feel like I don't want to spend time with someone completely new on my birthday. In case it goes wrong somehow,"

Chloe gasped, "But how will we keep in touch?"

"Well...since the show is being filmed, I've decided to watch it. That way I'll," she paused and rubbed her hands together evilly, "Be watching your every move,"

Chloe giggled, "Nice,"

"Now, we have got to get you to the airport, I skimmed the e-mail and it said everything is provided for you. So just go wearing a nice outfit and they'll craft a closet based on your style," Zoe explained.

After 3 hours of shopping with Marinette, Alya, Zoe and their friends, Chloe was finally ready. She organised with Marinette's family that she'd be staying the night at their place. Zoe had made a friend while shopping called Juleka and she decided to sleep over at Juleka's house. At 4 AM Marinette shook Chloe awake. The flight was at 8, but they'd planned to get ready and eat before leaving. After both girls had showered and gotten dressed they made all the adjustments necessary.

Chloe was wearing an oversized white cropped sweater and some grey tights. She'd loosely curled her hair and ditched the sunglasses. Her actual glasses sat in her purse.

Then they had breakfast. Marinette's mom was still asleep in her room so they quietly made French Toast and Regular Toast.

"Are you excited?" Chloe asked Marinette.

Marinette shrugged, "Well It'll be a fun experience regardless of whether I actually fall in love,"

"I mean at least we're all near each other," Chloe said.

"Since when is 5 hours near?" Marinette questioned.

"There's something called a plane," Chloe said with an eye roll.

Chloe was grateful that Gabriel was rich enough to have his own airline. She didn't feel like travelling with other people. The one thing she disliked was that she had to sit next to this creation from the dumpster. Okay, he was cute and he did look familiar. She gasped.

"It's you!"

He turned to her looking confused, "Who are you?"

"I hate you. You ruined my career just because of a stupid crush!" she snapped.

"I don't know- Chloe?" he asked quietly.

She glared at him, "You know exactly who I am, you piece of dumpster trash!"

"Can you shut up?" he asked, turning back to the movie.

She yanked out his earbuds, "Apologize,"

"You slapped me on the face, yet you want me to apologize,"

"You ruined my life,"

"You were working for Audrey, your life was already ruined," he muttered, shutting Chloe up.
