Marie nervously sat in the makeup chair as the makeup artist carefully brushed a light pink blush onto her cheeks, her eyes focused intently on the script laid out on her lap.
She skimmed over the words with a smile, feeling grateful for the opportunity before her. The makeup artist busied themselves with their work, applying foundation, mascara, and blush to her face.
Suddenly, the door to the room flew open and in came Courtney, her manager. "I need her out now! Let's get some shots of her and Andre okay."
"Marie you look stunning. The people are going to eat it up."
Courtney turned to the makeup team.
"I need you guys to finish up now. Voltage is coming and I need everyone out. Okay?"
"Marie, darling lets go." Courtney said, guiding Marie out the room towards the stage where the photoshoot was taking place.
Marie stood on the sidelines, watching Andre take the photoshoot like it was a walk in the park.
He posed gracefully, his movements fluid and effortless. His eyes sparkled, as he looked into the camera and smiled ever so slightly.
Marie felt out of place, as she saw how easily and naturally Andre was able to pose for the photographer. He was the definition of power and elegance.
Andre then signaled for Marie to join him, and Marie nervously stepped in front of the camera. The photographer began to snap away, and Marie felt a little awkward at first. But after a couple of shots, she began to relax and enjoy the moment.
Noticing Maries new found confidence Andre stepped away allowing her to take over.
Marie held her head high, and her smile was bright and joyous, finally feeling confident in her own skin. She was beginning to feel the excitement of the photoshoot and was determined to do her best.
Suddenly, all the people working on the photoshoot turn to the door with looks of awe and admiration.
Valentine enters looking stunning in an vibrant pink dress, her blonde hair cascading in waves over her shoulders.
"God you look stunning. Okay let's gets some shots of the three of them, then Valentine and Marie, then we can really focus on your photos at the end." Courtney explained as the three supes stepped on the platform for the photos.
The photographer organized the group with Marie in the middle, Andre and Valentine by her sides.
He shot a couple photos, dislike laced on his face.
The photographer asked Marie to move to the side, and all the confidence she had built up began to fade. She felt embarrassed and exposed, shrinking away from the spotlight as Valentine steps in to take the center. Marie can feel the eyes of the crew on her and her heart sinks, all her hard work and preparation seemingly for nothing.
