She's an Icon | V.C

Prologue

"Ariel!"

"Over here!"

"Is it true, your parents are splitting up?"

"When's your movie coming out!"

I huff loudly under my breath as I push past the paparazzi's and jump into the back of the black SUV my handlers have parked at the side of the road for me.

"Sup." I greet as I get into the car and strap myself in.

"Hello- oh my goodness! Ariel!" She screeches at me. "What, are, you, wearing!"

I shrug looking down at my gray sweat pants and dark purple tank top.

"Clothes," I smirk like a jackass at my smart answer.

"Oh Annabeth leave the poor girl alone." Lance, my entertainment manager scoffs to her, taking my hand. "Darling."

"No time to dilly dally we need to move!" Annabeth shouts throwing her hands up in frustration.

Man that lady really gets going quickly.

Anna contributes to ramble about something that neither Lance or I pay attention too. Eventually my eyes get heavy enough to just shut without even thinking about it.

And even though I got about 3 seconds of sleep the night before Anna's scroll voice is snapping me from my trance.

"Ariel! Ariel Rae Lava!" She yells.

"What!" I shout back, pulling my head off the window and opening my eyes.

"Get your butt out of this car right now, your not even dressed properly for the day!" Anna screeches back at me.

If I didn't love Anna my sure I'd have put rotten milk inside her coffee every morning. Cause God did that woman get me going.

"Chop chop, time is waisting, Danielle is waiting."

I rub my eyes then undo my seatbelt and dash in the back door of UnionNight.

"Hi welcome to UnionN-" Debby, one of the employed, starts to say but I rush past her and hardly give her the time to speak.

Better that way I've heard that too often.

"Hello Danielle, sorry I'm late!" I wheeze walking over to the rack of clothes that's stored in the back of the store.

My parents had managed to buy the whole store, and the store next to it and make a wardrobe in the back of the store for me. Dani was pretty chill about it, she did get payed extra for it and the store got a lot more recognition.

"Here, go try this on." Danielle tells me, throwing a pair of lose blue grey jeans and a white top. That after pulling on, becomes apparent that isn't a full shirt, and cuts off right under my bra.

"No bad." Dani smirks. "No come here and sit, child."

She taps the white stool next to her and I hop on. Danielle wastes no time getting to work once I'm seated, she piles... A fair amount of makeup on, before starting out on my hair. In the end my hair stayed basically the same, with the addition of a few extensions to make my hair look a little thicker.

I stand from the chair and she throws me a long blue jacket and a grey bag.

My ninja reflexes pay off as I'm able to catch both things she throws at me.

Thank god for that one year of baseball I played right?

Wrong.
