Reality of being an undercover model

Lucky Charms & Tickets

"Rhiannon time for school!"Mom yelled up the stairs as I finished applying my eyeliner.
She might as well say "Time for torture for 6 hours "as that pretty much sums up my school life.

I have learned how to do my makeup professionally from the makeup artists on the shoots so it never looks terrible.My friends always ask me if I watch tutorials on YouTube or something but I just say I learned from my cousin .

"Coming Karen!"
It's mine and moms joke that I call her and dad by their first names instead of mom and dad.

I race down the stairs into the kitchen, sliding on the wooden floors like a dancer in my white slippery socks, except I nearly fall into a bookcase.
"Watch out you'll ruin my new Pokemon books!"Calls Alfie ,my little brother,As he try's to smack my shoulder.
"Oh so it doesn't matter if I break my leg or something !"
"No"Alfie giggles, and jumps into the stool by the kitchen island for his lucky charms cereal.
I smile and shake my head, taking the seat next to him.

"So where were you last night ?"mom asks as she pours milk into my cereal for breakfast .
I was at a fashion show modelling the new summer line , but if I told her that I don't think it would go down very well.
"Oh um just at a school project"I lie.
"Really because I checked with Rachel's mom and she said that there were no school projects on last night "Mom says narrowing her eyes .

Damn it !Rachels mom organises all the after school activities so of course she'd know that I'm lying.

"Yeah we were planning a school project at Amy's".
"Oh"mom sighs and places the milk carton back in its usual place in the fridge.

"By the way that model you like did another event at the city centre last night "mom informs me.
I already knew since that was me but I act surprised .
"Cool what did she model?"
"Just some summer outfits "mom shrugs her shoulders in disappointment .
I'm offended, as I thought that the outfits were great, and very comfortable .
"Oh cool".

Suddenly there's a gentle Knock on the front door.
"That must be my friends I'll get it "I announce taking a gulp of my orange juice ,wiping my mouth and sliding to the door.
"Hi"I say welcoming them in.

My two best friends are Milly and Rachel.Rachel has chestnut brown hair that reaches her shoulders,emerald green eyes , pale skin,freckles covering her nose and she's quite short but makes up for it by having that perfect hour glass figure.Milly has curly blond hair that reaches her waist,blue eyes and she's so tall which she hates as she feels stupid in high heels.

"Hey how are you?"Rachel asks as she places her pastel blue backpack next to the coat hooks.
"Okay".
"Did you see Chrystal Springs model at the fashion show last night ?"Milly questions as she grabs her phone from her back pocket.
"Um no I didn't get time I was studying"I answer shaking my head.
"Well,check it out "she hands me the phone .

I watch as Chrystal Springs (I)walk down the catwalk in the glorious flowing summer dress, my face sparkling with glittering eyeshadow.I watch myself all the time and feel embarrassed to see me looking so serious and different , even though no one knows it's me .

"You know you too look so alike you could be the same person!"Milly says smiling .
"Yeah"Rachel agrees staring at my face.
"Don't be ridiculous !"I laugh.
This is not helping my situation.

"Well come on let's get going to school "Rachel taps my shoulder and points to the door.
"Okay let me just grab my bag".
We all grab our bags and I call to mom.
"Mom we're leaving see you later when we get home "I open the door and we all leave the house .

"Omg!"Milly yells clapping her hands excitedly .
"What's up?"I ask interested .
"Tickets to meet Chrystal Springs backstage at one of her fashion shows just went on sale !"

Oh god .I have met lots of my 'fans' before but my friends might recognise me .I mean I guess no one else has yet but still, it's a bit risky .

"Let's buy them quick !"Rachel exclaims .
"Are you sure they might be quite expensive?"I ask trying to persuade them to forget it .
"Well they were $250 dollars each but I have ordered all of us tickets "Milly yells.
$250 to meet me !God that's a bit expensive.
"Oh cancel mine I'm not free ,that weekend I'm visiting my cousins in Atlanta"I tell them trying to look disappointed.

I'm actually at the fashion show that weekend so I can't possibly do both.

"Damn it Rhiannon every time Chrystal is around town your always busy !"Rachel moans.
"I'm sorry guys ,go without me "I stare at the ground as we pass the city centre.

Being an international fashion model and an ordinary teenager isn't easy, in fact it's pretty damn hard .So how am I going to cope meeting my best friends at a meet and greet , will I slip up?
