Model Perfection

Chapter 3 - Ugh! This Life!

I'm back baby!! ;)

"Ow! Ow! OWWW! Vince!” I squealed, screamed. Over the last hour and a half, my entire body had been pulled, prodded, and picked at in order to make me absolutely perfect. My skin was a bright red as a reminder for the pain that had been and was still being inflicted on me.

"Darling, this has to be done. Essential," Vince said with a nod of his head.

"But -"

"No buts! You are already looking fabulous." He commented, waving his hand at me and walking out.

The pain continued for another forty-five minutes, a torturous forty-five minutes and everything was done: My hair, my face, every single body hair imaginable, and my toenails and fingernails. Altogether I was groomed everywhere and any normal girl would be ecstatic, but I was in sooo much pain, until I looked in the mirror.

I. Was. Beautiful. For the first time in my life, I felt beautiful. My face was not caked in makeup, no that wasn't it, but my skin and appearance had a new found glow to it, and my hair shone to perfection. "Oh Vince! It's perfect!" I said, admiration in my voice and I turned in my chair and hugged him.

"I'm glad you like it what with the fussing and whining and complaining that was done for the entire time." Vince teased, bopping my nose.

We parted ways shortly after, me still scared out of my mind, and Vince still assuring me that I would be fine and 'knock those judges off their stilettos!' We had decided, and by 'we', I mean Vince that I wasn't going to need any modeling lessons or any of that nonsense because of my being around it my whole life and as Vince said, "You can't create talent, it's there or it's not." I would have to leave for the camp in just two days and I was extremely nervous. Yes, I could make this my final senior project, but was this what I wanted to focus primarily on my summer before college? I didn't know. It didn't sound promising, but what else was I going to do? My mind kept on telling me that I could have my productive things to do, but my heart pointed out that my mind didn't provide any other productive things to do in replacement.

When I got home, I went to my room and decided to work on the title of my project. Hmmm, 'Modeling, the Trial of my summer' or 'Modeling, the nightmare realized' didn't seem like promising titles, so I put that away for a while and decided to start packing. I was leaving in two days so it's time to start packing now, but what the hell would I need?! . . . Macie!

"Hello?" a hoarse voiced answered.

"Ahh, Macie! Okay I don't know what to pack!" I rushed out, my tone that of desperation. Clothes were strewn all over the floor and so I had decided to call my sister.

"Okay, let's see, umm just essentials Hun. You know this silly! They'll provide all the clothes and all the accessories and all the makeup and everything you're gonna need. Hahahaha, you really only need to pack jeans, shirts and the essentials." she said with a 'duh' tone.

Oh wow I feel stupid. Haha I knew this, I was just so nervous and scared that I mentally freaked out and totally forgot everything I know. I really just had to continue to keep my cool and keep levelheaded.  "Ugh, you're right Mace. I've got this. Thanks."

"No prob, just stop freaking out, you'll be fine, and you had better call me while you’re away and tell me all about it!"

"I promise." I said, and I really did promise. I know it sounds kind of cliché, but Macie was my best friend really. Yeah we were sisters and we butt heads all the time but she was still my girl who I knew I could tell everything too and I knew she understood and got me completely.

"Alright then, by babes." she barely got out, with a cough following.

"See ya!" I rolled off my tongue and then clicked my phone shut.

After I had finished packing, it was late and I was exhausted. I pretty much passed out instead of falling asleep peacefully and woke up way to soon. The following day went by with a flash. I hung out with frineds, only told my closest ones the truth of what was really happening and informed my parents that I would be at an ‘internship’ over the next couple of months at a medical clinic in Montana. Everything was set and ready for me to leave and everything was falling into place quite perfectly. The realization of haw easy this all seemed was not only alarmingly scary but everything about it seemed so “destiny”, “meant-to-be”, but who really knew? Tomorrow I would be on my way to a new world and I was sure so much was going to change. If I had only known how right that thought would turn out to be . . .
