I'm Not A Supermodel

Chapter One

"Come on girls, we're gonna be late." Adeline. She is all over the time, like usual.

"Yea mama." I say and roll my eyes. Betty giggles at our attitude, we are like this all the time.  The three of us, we are the best friends, even though it wasn't like this always. Adeline the responsible one, Betty the shy one and me? Well crazy would be weak for me.

I close my locker and we can go. We have to cross the whole campus to get to our first class. "You know, I still can't believe the summer break is only in two weeks and then? i won't see you every day and ... and I will be so sad."

"Yea, me too." I respond to Betty "Do you have any plans for summer?"

"I was looking for some summer job, but didn't really find anything that would suit me, you?" Adeline says.

"Let's take it through the main building, there is the big board with all the stuff there. Maybe we will find something there, and it can be all of us together the whole summer." I smile at my best friends.

Adeline starts to complain about us being late but I cut her right at the start. "We still got 15 minutes, plus you know, our *subject* teacher is always late." She doesn't really protest and goes with us.

When we come to the big board it is full of little papers with summer jobs and everything else, you wouldn't find a clear space here.

"There are some left places in the downtown McDonals." Betty announces. I look at Adeline's face and see that it is as sour as mine.

"Or there is also something ..." I reach higher for it but my heigh doesn't allow me. Adeline grins at me and takes pulls the note down. Why am I so small?

"Here you go our little." She laughs at me, first I look offended but then laugh with them. My mum always tells me that it is nice I am small, I will have more boys to chose from, but then there is another problem with me and boys: to date someone I need first anyone to at least want me ...

"And so this is about the Toy Shop. To be exact it is called 'Toy Toy Store'. " I read. "And it is not paid that badly too, 2.50 pounds for an hour." I look at them and they seem nodding a slightly. I tear the phone number of the bottom of the paper and put it in my wallet. I will call there in the afternoon if they have still three places left.

I look at the board again. I don't see anything like girly like I think that some job in a stock isn'f for girls that much, it's more like for strong boys.

"And what about this one?" Luckily this one it placed low enough for me to take it. "It's a model audition!" I squeal, when I was little I hated to do all the hair things and the clothes things and so on ... but now? Well I like fashion quiet well.

"We don't have a chance to get in." So pessimistic as always.

"Come on Betty, this is not about winning it or whatever, it can be also fun." I wink at her.

She is about to say something when the school bell rings. Oops, Adeline will be upset probably, not probably but for sure!

"May." Adeline grows.

"Yea?" I'm in serious trouble here. I tear the phone number off of the paper and pin it quickly back. Adeline and Betty are already ahead of me in very fast pace. I'm lucky not to be in all the classes with Adeline otherwise she would kill me for being late all the time.

*****

The school was fine I laughed every break with Adeline and Betty and everything was just ... nice. I am ready to go to the bed and even my two younger sisters, which I had to tug in for sleep, are asleep. I'm tired, I go to the bathroom preparing to take a shower taking my clothes off. Something falls out of my pocket. I pick it up and look at it, these are the papers with numbers from the board, I would completely forget about them. But first shower, then I can call there.
