"Okay..."

"I'm Brooklyn. I work with Modest! Management."

"Okay."

"What is your name?"

"Cheyenne."

"Well. Very nice to meet you. Here, come into my office." She leads me down the hall and she unlocks a door. "Wait here for just a second. I need to go get Niall." I nod.

Wait, why does she need Niall? What is going on? Why does she need me?

Soon, the door opens and Niall, followed by Brooklyn, walks in. He has a seat next to me on the couch. Brooklyn has a seat at her desk, across from us.

"So I'm pretty sure you both are wondering why you are here." He says. Niall and I both nod. "Well, sense Niall hasn't been in the media lately, or hasn't had a girlfriend..." I see Niall shift uncomfortably in his spot. "We have decided to hire you, Cheyenne, to be his girlfriend for a period of 12 months."

"W-what?" I ask. "What do you mean? Why do this?"

"Because he needs more media attention and it's a good story to sell."

I look over at Niall. He looks over at me. He slightly nods, then looks down at the floor.

"Okay.... So what is it exactly?"

"You guys just have to act like a serious couple. We'll have a story that you've been dating for a couple months, but you are now getting serious. And you guys will go on dates and other stuff that couples do."

"Okay...."

"You'll just have to sign here on the line. The contract states that you can't talk or break the contract. If you do, you'll be in serious trouble. Do you have a twitter account?"

"Yes, but I don't want to use my real account if that's where you're going. I'd like to have my privacy."

"Okay. We'll make you one then. So if you would just sign here and then we'll be on our way to selling this relationship!"

"Okay. I have one question."

"Okay."

"Why me?"

"Well, you two are cute together, you're his height, you two get along with each other it seems. You're perfect!"

"Oh."

She hands me the contract and I take it from her. I look over at Niall again, he's looking at me with a focused look.

'Are you okay with this?' I mouth to him.

He simply nods and I look at the one paged contract. I guess this is it. I grab the pen from the table and write my name on the line. Then I write my signature next to it.

"Oh! It's official!" Brooklyn says. I smile and hand her back to contract. "You two can go now. Make sure to swap phone numbers!"

"Okay." Niall and I say.

We both stand up and begin walking towards the door. Then Brooklyn clears her throat.

"Cheyenne. Wait here for a second. Niall, you may go. Cheyenne will join you shortly." Niall walks out and Brooklyn motions me to take a seat again. "Now. I want you to sell the damn relationship." Wow. Bitch alert. I thought she was nice! "I don't want any awkward shit. I want you to sell it. We're working hard for your cover. Is that clear?"

"Yes mam."

"Good. Now go."

I get up and walk out of the room, careful to shut the door behind me. Niall is waiting for me outside.

"What was that about?" He asks.

"Just wanted to tell me that I better not screw this up..."

"Oh. I'm sorry if she was rude."

"It's fine. I guess now we have to tell everyone our news."

"Yup." We walk into the room and everyone looks at us with confused expressions. "Everyone. Cheyenne and I are officially boyfriend and girlfriend."
