The Pretty Girl

Make it Happen

"Right there Adeline yes!" The photographer cheered as he snapped multiple pictures. Adeline posed with Cindy, Lina, Jaslin and Anastasia for their Vogue NY edition cover of the America's Top 5.

Positioning for photos were based on popularity and success so of course Adeline was front and center or in the middle of each shoot. She just knew what to do with her body to make your eyes only look at her. She had the supermodel factor and that's why she's been at the top for 13 years.

Adeline hid her smirk at Anastasia's obvious disdain for her. She wanted to be where Adeline was. She tried sleeping her way there but somehow she always fell second place. Anastasia had to give to Adeline. She was mesmerizing and Ana had a lot to observe and learn from her.

"And that's a wrap ladies. Nice work but I need more chemistry." The director of the set called out. After 4 hours they were set for today and would pick it up tomorrow. Adeline pushed past the others without a word. Anastasia's jaw clenched as she turned to look at the other women.

The four ladies hustled to their respective artists to help them get out of their makeup and put on simpler clothes. "You know... it would be fun to go out tonight. Like regular girls for once. It would be fun, and they would like for us to bond." Anastasia spoke rather loudly. Adeline ignored her. She wouldn't be caught dead with them outside of this shoot.

"That would be fun!" Lina beamed. She was always so chipper. It drove Adeline crazy. "I'd be down. I'm tired of pretending I like champagne and classical music." Cindy laughed. Anastasia grinned turning to the royal highness herself.

"Adeline." She spoke softly. Adeline raised a brow without looking at her. "Would you join us for vogue bonding?" Adeline laughed rolling her eyes. "No. Enjoy yourselves ladies. I don't mope around low level clubs."

"Come on Adeline." Jaslin she was probably who Adeline tolerated the most. Iranian, beautiful and very mellow. "It could be fun. Maybe something a little different. You heard Simon. We need more chemistry on set it would be nice to get to know each other more."

Her brown eyes stared into Adeline's with hope. Adeline still was going to say no. But Anastasia took a different approach. "Forget it ladies Adeline Jones is a one dimensional celebrity she couldn't be caught dead in a billionaire less club because she would expose she doesn't have enough personality."

Adeline laughed. "Ana. Please. I don't need personality to be successful. And I don't need to go to a grimy underground club. I'm successful enough without it."

Anastasia grit her teeth. "We are still going to a high class club Adeline not some dingy back wood barn." Adeline crossed her arms before looking at Jaslin again. "Come one Adeline. Please? Publicity wise I think it would be in the best interest for us all to be seen together."

Adeline exhaled and pressed her fingers to her temple. Chemistry. They needed more chemistry. This was a career venture. She needed it for her job. "Fine but I stay for an hour. At best." She answered shortly. She was still sure she didn't want to go. But she was right.

Adeline looked at her self in the mirror. The sparking short black dress showed off everything she wanted it to.

Her hair in body waves and her dark mahogany lip stick gave her an alluring appeal. She swallowed. She couldn't believe she was being social. It was a PR stunt honestly. It would look good for people to see the top 5 out and about together. People will see them as "relatable" even though Adeline could hardly relate to a commoner.

Her mother would see it's for publicity and lessen her wrath on Adeline doing activities beneath her with people beneath her.

"Get it together Adeline it's only an hour." She hissed to her before heading out to where the limo with all the girls waited. She exhaled in annoyance and hastily rushed out.
