𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐣𝐮𝐧𝐞.. i'm currently at a modeling office because my mom thinks it'd be a good career for me, i was looking into it and it doesn't seem too bad?

she dropped me of before leaving to run some errands meaning i'm here alone and confused on what to do.

"Nova Delacruz?" a lady calls out.

"yes?"

"we're ready for you" she smiles.

i get up and follow her to a room of people sitting at a table with notepads.

"you must be Nova?" a man says.

"yes i am, nice to meet you all" i say standing there nervously.

"nice to meet you as well, so tell us a little about yourself, your age, and why you think modeling is good for you?" a lady asks.

i say what they wanna hear and it's just a back and forth of questions and answers.

"i don't know i think you may be a little overweight.." the lady says which catches me off guard.

"overweight? baby she's just right. she may not fit your standards but i promise you your standards are unrealistic. you don't need this girl to be super skinny just to wear some clothing, so get your act right or you're fired" another lady says who i assume is the boss.

she gets up and takes me to another room "i'm so sorry about that, she thinks she's top dog and her intention is to scare everybody away. i see potential in you so i'm giving you the job. i'm going to have you meet with agents and managers to see what fits best with you, after that i'll email you some gig opportunities and we'll see what happens from there" the boss says.

"okay! thank you so much, you're so sweet." i smile at her.

"of course sweetie. my name's Jessica, you can call me Jess. let me give you my information and be on the look out for an email from me pretty soon. you have an amazing rest of your day hun" she smiles back while writing her info on a piece on paper.

"you as well, thank you again" i take the paper and walk out the building to call my mom so she can come get me.

on the car ride back, i told my mother everything that happened and how i got the job, that one critical lady, and about how sweet Jessica was.

"well in the end.. i'm very happy that you got the job. i'm so proud of you and hey maybe this will lead to big things" my mom says getting out of the parked car, hugging me.

"hey pretty ladies, what's going on?" Regina says walking over to us.

my mother begins telling her everything that i just told her and the biggest smile grows on Regina's face.

she gives me a big hug while congratulating me on this new opportunity "this is such a big deal! we need to celebrate"

"yes my thoughts exactly! it just so happens that i bought a bunch of ice cream at the store earlier, we could have a bonfire with our families" my mom suggests.

"that sounds so fun" i nod.

"we can get in the pool, order some food, make ice cream sundaes, light the fire. my perfect summer night" Tracie says with joy.

"oh now that sounds like my kind of night, let me get my kids and i'll be back over here in like 5 minutes" Regina smiles, walking away.

"oh i'm so excited for this" she says as we walk in the house.

"me too, we haven't done something like this since being at grandmas house last year" i mention.

"it's been far too long" she says before we part ways to get ready.
