Someone Like You

Chapter 1

I repositioned my beanie and ran my fingers through my light brown hair. Stupid nerves, they always get the better of me. Messing with my hat and hair once more, probably making it worse, I finally walked inside the tall skyscraper.

A thin man sat behind the counter with a sign behind him that read 'Ford Models'. I walked up to the counter as he looked up.

"How may I help you?" He asked me, looking back down at his computer screen. I raised my eyebrows, rude much?

"Uh, yeah, I'm here for an audition for Ford Modeling." I looked around the lobby, very clean I thought to myself. Pristine white walls with, shiny white tile floors. Leather benches sat on either side of the desk, I longed to sit and rest on one, the walk here was unbearable, especially here in New York.

He looked up at me, I smiled, you need to keep a good impression. "Are you Miss Gates?" He asked me, I nodded. He smiled back at me, great smile I might add. "Floor 7, studio Number 73, good luck Miss Gates." I thanked him and jogged to catch the elevator, as it was about to close.

"Jennifer Gates?" A tall, slim woman asked me as I cautiously walked into studio number 73.

"Yes ma'am," I smiled, never forget to smile "is this the right time?"

"Yes yes, and no need to call me ma'am, my name is Kelsey White. I am the head of Ford Modeling."

"I'm Jenna, just Jenna." I shook her hand. She looked me up and down, at this point I felt very self conscious.

" I read your reseme, It made me want to see more, so here you are" she said simply, " lets see what you can do"

I took off my coat and beanie to reveal a beautiful light turquoise, lace dress. It went to right above my knee. Underneath I wore black stockings, and on my feet were black lace up shoe boots. My hair was down, and I ran my fingers through it once more trying to get most of the frizz away due to my beanie.

"Well, you can start now!" She told me. I started posing and walking up and down the studio. Every once and a while taking a glance at the wall clock above Kelsey, I had a party to go to.

After the audition, I thanked the man at the front desk and walked out of the building. Unfortunately, I had walked to my audition so I had to walk back. It wasn't that bad my apartment was only 3 blocks away.

Strolling along New York City's streets, I pulled my beanie closer to my face for protection from the cold. It was beginning of fall but in New York, it's chilly already. Dodging people as I went, I noticed a large crowd up ahead. Mostly teenage girls I observed, they were all screaming. Oh god, it's probably one of those teenage heart throbs, I wasn't into that kind of Thing, saying that I'm an adult, 19 to be exact.

I tried to dodge the blob of crazy crying, and screaming fans but it was no use. I had to walk through the mess. Pushing and shoving everyone that got in my way something inside me made me stop.

Curiosity building up inside me I peered through the crowd to see who was causing all the craze. Then I saw him, our eyes met and my breath caught in my throat. I couldn't look away. It was like all of time stopped and it was just him and I. I didn't know his name, but I wanted to.

His bodyguard ushered him on and our gaze broke. I stood there. Thinking about his bright blue eyes and well, that's all I saw really. I decided to not just stand there and keep on walking home. I slid on my maroon Ray-Ban's and pulled out my iPhone, it was 6:00pm, the party was going to start in 2 hours!

My eyes grew wide as I realized how much time I had left to get ready. I started running but gave up, due to my heels, took them off, and started running once more.
