Chapter 2

📍PARIS, FRANCE 🇫🇷

~Tory's POV~

Today is the big day! I woke up bright and early to prepare myself. I'm so nervous but excited at the same time. I've done adverts and a few runway shows before, but nothing as big as this. I checked my socials and text messages. I got a message from my best friend Camilla asking me to meet her for breakfast downstairs. She's on a different floor than me. I got out of bed, made my way to the bathroom, brushed my teeth, and did my skincare routine before leaving my room.

I walked to the elevator and went downstairs. I then walked to the dining room and saw my best friend, Camilla, sitting with her manager and mine—they were already having breakfast. "Good morning! Big day today," Camilla said, knowing how important this day is for me. I took a seat; Camilla had already made me a plate, so I didn't have to worry. Our managers started to explain what the plan for the day would be like.

"We have a busy day ahead of us," Camilla's manager said, with my manager nodding in agreement. We all stood up and went to the elevators. While we were waiting, Camilla suddenly spoke. "There are a lot of celebrities staying here for the show tonight."

"Oh, that's interesting! I didn't know," I replied.

My manager then spoke as we entered the empty elevator. "Please do not associate too much with the celebrities. I'm very sure that there will be paparazzi around, and you guys will end up on the blogs," Camilla's manager added. "We don't need that type of attention right now."

We all went back to our rooms and agreed to meet in 45 minutes. I decided to wear something basic since I was going to change anyway. I didn't do anything special with my hair and didn't wear makeup either. After a while, we met downstairs, got into an Uber, and headed to our destination.

Camilla and I entered the building with a few other models and were greeted by none other than Pharrell Williams—the mastermind behind this show! He welcomed us all with hugs and escorted us to hair and makeup. I got my hair crimped, and after that, I had to change. We were almost ready to go on stage. I wore a dark wash Louis Vuitton denim set with some sneakers and a Louis Vuitton brooch. I also had to carry a blue LV duffle bag.

The show was about to start, and the music ensemble began playing tense music. Camilla and I were backstage, waiting to walk out. I started to feel more pressure as it got closer to my turn. Camilla was up before me. She walked out and did her thing. Then it was my turn. I took a few deep breaths before one of the crew members gestured for me to go out.

As soon as I walked out, I felt an instant sense of relief. I knew this was something I wanted to do for the rest of my life. When I walked back behind the curtain, I started jumping out of joy. I saw Camilla and ran to hug her, and my manager joined in on the hug. I then walked over to Pharrell, who was standing close to the curtains, and thanked him for this opportunity. "I'm thankful for you," he said, giving me a hug. I then went to change into some fancy clothing more appropriate for the occasion.

The show ended with applause and Pharrell walking down the runway. After the show, everyone started to leave, including the models and the working crew. It was very packed. As I was walking in my long black dress and YSL heels, I bumped into someone so hard that I fell back on my butt, and my dress tore a little. I was so pissed. I looked up to see Jude Bellingham. I was so surprised because I wasn't expecting to see a footballer at a fashion show. He looked stunned. "Are you going to help me up?" I said. "I'm so sorry; I didn't see you coming," he replied. He kept apologizing because he felt bad that my dress was a little ripped. I reassured him that I was alright and that I'd be fine.

I then walked over to Camilla, who had been watching the whole thing, and we took an Uber back to the hotel. The minute I entered my room, I kicked off my heels and fell right asleep.

A/N: I hope you enjoyed this. I will try to post a new chapter every two days probably . Let's see what happens in the next one
