Brand on Brow

The Colors Used To Lure You

Days passed, every night I looked outside my window as I untie my hair, admiring the fact that the sky I'm looking at is the same sky he's under. No matter the distance between us, solved by the illuminating stars in the sky, alligned, creating a constellation. I've always loved astrology, but believing in something many has denied on is not an easy decision to make.

Ever since I was little, I've always love admiring clothes. My dream was to be a fashion designer. And while my dreams made music in the night, carefully, I was trying to live. Many dreams are a waste without actions put into it. I'm not just gonna stand around, waiting for my dream to burn. I started drawing again. Thankfully, my drawing skill's isnt put into waste. The sketch wasn't all that beautiful nor was it bad.

Later that afternoon, I tried joining one of the biggest fashion line brand ever. I was late to arrived because most of the taxis was busy and booked but as they say, better late than never. As I walk into the room, I could see some judgy look on the interviewer's face but I just brushed it off thinking it's because I was late but for now, I better ace that interview. Without a degree in art, I knew my chances could be as low as 0 but what are the chances.

A week passed, each day I checked to see if they've sent out a mail. Today, I received one, I was very nervous to open it. Slowly, with my shaky hands, I open the mail to see if they accepted me. It turned out they made an exception although most of the other people's interview wasn't as they hoped to be. I was very happy I couldn't fully express how I feel that time. I give Elijah a call to tell him about this news. He was just as happy to hear it. I continue reading the mail, the rules are very strict but I think I could bare through it. I'd give anything for my dreams to come true.

Few days after that, I came back to the Fashion Industry. I wasn't late this time. I looked around, mesmerized by all the beautiful clothings around the place. The baroness's assistant came to get me, infact, he judged my clothings. I tried to explain but he stopped me. He was very rude indeed but I expected these attitudes in the industry.

He then lead me to my workstations where I'll be making the designs and clothes. I was taken-aback seeing all these fancy equipments I could never afford. "Go on, make a dress for the baroness, make her proud and do not be a dissapointment to this brand.", He says. I nodded as I started sketching out ideas, then came the baroness, walking through the halls. She's indeed a very mysterious and a formidable woman but for some reason she got her eyes on me, smiling, as if she's looking for a victim. She walked towards me, the sound of her high heels stumping was very unnerving.

She snatched my sketch book that I was holding and she put on her glasses, trying to get a better look on my sketch. "We've found our new piece.", She says confidently. I was feeling very proud of myself, smiling uncontrolably. "Keep up your work, I want that dress done by this week, keep that in mind.", She said to me as she smirked, walking away to the others.

I quickly got into action, looking for the fabrics and colours. After gathering them, I looked at my equiptments, my mind's gone blank. I realized I do not know how to sew fabrics together to make up a piece. I asked one of the other worker, her name's Daniella. She's a very nice and reliable person. I guess not all of the workers in the fashion industry are as bad as I thought. She taught me the basics of sewing. I tried making it into the dress, it's not the best but it works. I was proud of the dress, my first ever piece.
