Lauren Cimorelli has been asked to become a model in the Spring Fashion Show. Follow her story as she struggles with her feelings towards her sisters, her peers, and that hot guy she keeps running into.
"I mean, who would actually want ME to be a mo...
The next day, we were taken to the fashion hall, which was the place where the showcase will take place. It was bigger than the one at VANESSA's, this place could fit hundreds of people. The catwalk was longer and wider, it was all more....real.
This time round, we practiced cat-walking with our outfits on. It was all a lot more work. Each of us had her own make-up stylist and hairdresser. We wore the outfit then the stylists would discuss what would look best on us. After their long conversations and arguments, we would try what they've chosen as the best outfit.
The photographer were also set to work, the lights were prepared, the cameras, the light sticks. Everyone was so busy doing their job that we haven't realized that eleven hours had already passed with no one eating lunch. With no one remembering lunch, even though it was almost dinner time.
"Okay guys, that's it for today. Come tomorrow at around the same time," said Mia.
We were done for today, but there were other people who were still working in the hall. I felt really sorry for these people. Including Mia. The twelve of us took the public bus back to the hotel. It was then when I truly looked at Milan. I was half-asleep early in the morning so I didn't even bother opening my eyes, but now everything was so beautiful. The streetlights gave liveliness to the city at night and everything we passed by was so vibrant.
When we reached the hotel I changed into a black tank top and a white-black-red flannel. I also wore black denims along with a pair of white shoes for my footwear. I was getting ready for the big moment. The reunion.

We were going to have dinner in the hotel restaurant downstairs. They chose that place because they thought I might be tired after a whole day of work. I loved how thoughtful they were, but I would've gone any where in Milan to see my sisters again.
I took the stairs and ordered a table of six for us. The restaurant was empty, except for Lydia and Jennifer who were having dinner at the moment. Everyone else was too tired to have dinner and went back to sleep.
As I was sitting on the table waiting for my sisters to arrive, two people entered the restaurant and sat on a table. Two VERY familiar people: Mia and Jayden. Mia entered first so by the time Jayden entered and noticed me, it was too late for him to leave or change plans.
"Hey Lauren. Are you alone?? You can join us if like," said Mia.
Lydia and Jennifer had already made that offer and I politely declined.
"No thanks, I'm waiting for my sisters."
"Oh, they arrived?? Can't wait to meet them in person," said Mia excitedly.
I was about to reply when I heard a voice. A raspy hoarse voice. Amy's voice. I immediately turned around to see my five sisters talking to the waiter. My eyes widened and my mouth formed an 'O' shape. I could feel Mia's and Jayden's eyes on me. My surprise turned to into happiness and my mouth turned into a smile. A wide smile from ear to ear.
