From that big moment walking for Versace, my career totally took off. I started getting booked by other top brands too, and life became this crazy whirlwind of fashion shows and photo shoots.
One day at a shoot in New York, I bumped into Kendall Jenner. We'd seen each other at events before, but this time we ended up chatting over lunch.
"Hey, Eliana, right? You killed it at the Versace show!" Kendall said with a smile.
"Thanks, Kendall! It's so cool to meet you properly," I replied, feeling a bit starstruck.
From there, we started hanging out more, grabbing coffee between shows and even hitting up a few parties together. Kendall's got this amazing energy, and we just clicked.
A few months later at Paris Fashion Week, Hailey Bieber and I ended up sharing a fitting for a show. We instantly hit it off, joking about the crazy outfits we were trying on.
"Can you believe they want me to walk in these heels?" Hailey laughed, struggling to balance in towering stilettos.
"I know, right? Fashion's glamorous, but sometimes it's just plain nuts," I joked back, helping her adjust her dress.
After that, Hailey and I started hanging out whenever our schedules allowed. We'd explore new restaurants in between castings or just chill at each other's apartments.
Then there's Bella Hadid. We met backstage at a shoot in Milan, both of us joking about the chaos of fashion week.
"Can you believe they want us to look effortlessly chic when it's total mayhem behind the scenes?" Bella said, rolling her eyes with a grin.
"I know, right? At least we can laugh about it," I replied, grateful for her down-to-earth vibe.
After that shoot, Bella and I kept in touch. We'd swap tips on skincare or catch up over FaceTime when we were in different cities.
Together, Kendall, Hailey, and Bella became more than just friends—they're like my fashion family. We support each other through the highs and lows of the industry, celebrating successes and sharing advice. They've made my journey in fashion not just exciting but also incredibly fulfilling.
3 Years later 2022: ( Narrator pov: )
Three years later, Eliana had become a household name in the modeling world. Her face was everywhere - from magazine covers to major fashion shows worldwide. People couldn't get enough of her runway walks and the campaigns she starred in for top brands.
Whether she was strutting her stuff in New York, Paris, Milan, or Tokyo, Eliana was always in demand. Her ability to switch up her look and vibe made her a favorite among designers and photographers alike. Social media blew up with every new shoot and show she nailed, solidifying her as a true fashion icon.
But behind the scenes, Eliana stayed true to herself. She collaborated with designers on cool new lines, shared bits of her life with millions of followers, and spoke out for more diversity in the industry.
Despite all the glitz and glam, Eliana never forgot her roots. She stayed close with Kendall, Hailey, and Bella, leaning on them for support and celebrating their successes too. Together, they navigated the wild ride of modeling life, sharing laughs, advice, and the occasional crazy fashion emergency.
Looking back on her journey, Eliana felt grateful for every opportunity that had come her way. Each runway strut and photo shoot had helped her grow, not just as a model but as a person too. And as she looked ahead, Eliana was pumped to keep inspiring others with her passion and drive, showing the world what she was made of.
Eli pov:
Today, us girls were just chilling at Kendall's place. We grabbed some drinks, kicked back on the couch, and got sucked into watching The Bachelor.
"Girl, did you see that?" Kendall shouted, totally into the drama unfolding on screen.
Hailey cracked up beside her. "I can't believe they're fighting over him like that!"
Bella, sprawled out on the floor with a blanket, chimed in, "I'm telling you, she's gonna get the final rose."
Between the laughs and the "oh no he didn't" moments, we caught up on everything, from work gossip to who's dating who.
Kendall, with a mischievous grin, turned to me and asked, "So, Eliana, spill the tea! Who was your first crush?"
I chuckled, thinking back to those high school days. "Oh, you guys are gonna laugh," I said, shaking my head. "It was this guy called Joshua from my high school. We were inseparable until he moved away."
Hailey raised her eyebrows playfully. "Ooh, young love! What happened?"
"He moved to Korea to pursue music," I explained. "We lost touch after that."
"Did you confess?" Kendall asked, "nope did not get chance too" i said
Bella leaned in, intrigued. "Do you still keep in touch?"
I shrugged. "Not really. Life got busy, you know? But he was my first real crush. I guess you never forget your first."
"And how about you guys?" I asked, turning the tables with a playful grin.
Kendall leaned back, a nostalgic smile tugging at her lips. "Well, my first crush was this boy in elementary school who used to share his snacks with me during recess," she admitted, causing us all to laugh.
Hailey rolled her eyes playfully. "Mine was this guy in middle school who played guitar in the band. Total heartthrob," she confessed, making us giggle at the memory.
Bella, ever the mysterious one, smirked. "I had a thing for this guy in high school who was way too cool for me," she said with a shrug, earning teasing nudges from all of us.
"So, why did you and Drew break up anyways?" Hailey asked, leaning forward with interest.
"Wait, Drew? As in Drew Starkey?" Bella interjected, looking surprised. "Yeah, the actor," I confirmed with a laugh at her reaction.
"When was this?" she asked, clearly intrigued.
"Last year, after 'Outer Banks 3' was released, we connected," I explained, reflecting on the brief romance.
I chuckled softly, thinking back. "You know how it goes," I started. "We were both so focused on our careers. It just became too much to balance."
"He was pretty cute too," Kendall added with a teasing grin.
"Yeah, he definitely had his charm," I agreed, smiling at the memories we shared. "But in the end, we wanted different things."
Hailey nodded thoughtfully. "It happens. Relationships are tough when you're both chasing big dreams."
Bella, always observant, jumped in with a playful jab. "What about you, Kenny? Any juicy updates on your love life?"
Kendall rolled her eyes playfully. "Oh, you know me," she said with a smirk. "Taking it day by day in the crazy world of dating."
We all laughed, sharing stories of romantic mishaps and unexpected connections. Despite our glamorous careers and hectic schedules, these candid conversations about love and relationships grounded us. It was reassuring to know that, no matter where life took us, we could always count on each other for support and a good laugh.
