Melanesia
"Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!" I hang up the phone. I can't believe that just happened.
Oh, hey y'all. I'm Melanesia Therese Jackson, the plus sized model and, soon-to-be fashion designer! That's what that phone call was about: I just got an opening at a company in, get this, ITALY! Oh, it's about to be lit! I gotta get my ticket and pack and stuff! Eek! This is so exciting!
-one week later-
"Yeah, mom. I'll call you every day. I love you. Ok, now this hug is getting a little uncomfortable." My mom lets me go with tears streaming down her face. "I'm gonna miss you, baby. Have fun and I knew you could do it." She waves to me as I hand my ticket to the scanner.

"Ciao. Yes, everything is ready for her. She gets here tomorrow and she has a general meeting with the staff on Saturday morning," I hear my assistant say.
Hey, I'm Drago Luciani Battaglia. I run this company. Here, we design and style homes, offices, and clothing. Recently, we decided to include a plus sized line and we had to go all the way to America to find someone worthy. This Melanesia chick seems to be alright for the most part, I guess. She has good, solid credentials, so I guess we'll just have to see. Uh, hold on, my phone is ringing.
(On the phone)
-Ciao?
-Yo, Drago.
-What's up, Soren?
-You got a shipment for me?
-Si. I'm sending it out tomorrow.
-Cool.
(The end)
Oh, sorry. My cousin is really into this business. Not the business I run, but the family business, if you know what I mean.
