*Caras Pov*

I woke up to the beams of the sun brightly hitting my face. I checked the clock and it read 8:00 am. I realized I had work today. I tried bringing myself up but failed miserably because of the pain i was in from the accident. I slumped back down which caused me to groan out of the ache in my body. I called my boss and spoke to her about what  had happened and the outcome it had. She felt terribly sorry and gave me a few days to relax and heal.

After talking on the phone I finally got up and went to the kitchen. I had a banana and some coffee while   checking my social media accounts. I thought about my friends and family and decided to call my parents and explain to them what happened last night. I didn't mention that I drunk because obviously I was 18 and under the drinking age. They began talking about visiting for a couple weeks but i turned down the offer since i had just moved here and wanted time on my own. 

Then i called Ali and told her the news and in a split second she was over with cookies and lots of get well balloons. 

"Ali you really didnt need to do this!" I said as I shoved a cookie in my mouth.

"Seriously Cara? You go hit by a car! It's the least i could do!" she smiled and gave me a small hug.

I told her probably in 3-4 days I would actually feel good enough to go out and do something and I was right.

*4 days later*

It was Tuesday and I finally went into work feeling good as new with still a few bruises and scratches  but they were only minor. My shift today lasted about 6 hours, from 7:00 am to 1:00 pm. Once I got off work i decided to head down to one of the ice cream shops. It was blazing hot and I couldn't get my mind off of a cotton candy cone with sprinkles.

I walked in and order it when a tall brunette walked up to me and asked for my name and said i was to die for gorgeous. 

"Thank you! and the name is Cara, whats yours?" I asked wondering why she was talking to me.

"My name is Stephanie and I'm one of Tyra Banks intern models. She had asked me to go search for some model material girls at the beach and i think you could be one of them!" she said with so much excitement.

My body started to tingle as I basically screeched the words "Of course!! That would be amazing!"

"Well then come with me." She took my arm and i dumped out my half eaten ice cream cone. We turned a corner and there sat a black limo. We hopped in and were on our way to one of Tyra Bank's offices. The limo was filled with everything! A TV, phone, mini-fridge, heated and cooled seats! Stephanie and I kept talking and the whole time all I could think about was how amazing this was! Stephanie had told me that Tyra had gotten girls jobs with Victoria Secret, Seventeen Magazine, Cosmopolitan, and many more magazines and clothing lines. I was seriously stoked and couldn't wait to meet Tyra.

We soon arrived at the building and we quickly went up the elevator and to her office. I realized that she wouldn't want to hire me if I was screaming with excitement so I decided to keep it classy and cool.

"Hello Ms.Banks." i said very politely as we walked in.

"Oh who is this beautiful lady? Darling take a seat!" So i took a sit in front of her desk.

"My name is Cara Woods and thank you but it is most certainly you who is beautiful" As i smiled.

"Well Cara, which is a lovely name by the way, lets get started on some questions about you and your life." she said while looking a some papers on her desk.

"Absolutely! What would you like to know?" I asked very eager to get going with these questions! After about 30 minutes she had finished her questions like; Where do you work? How much do you make? Any relationships? Do you have a resume? (which i did so i showed her.) How old are you? Weight? Height? Even though i was only 5'5" and that was not the typical model height, she thought my legs were stunning and i could rock anything. 

As an hour went by we had finished talking and she had came to a conclusion, I had qualified for the job! I hid my excitement and great happiness but I'm sure she could tell exactly how i was feeling. She told me I would start modeling tomorrow and to be here at 9:00 am. I thanked her and walked out of the room. Once i got into the elevator i was freaking out and smiling i thought i could break my jaw. 

It was around 4:00 so i decided to call Ali and arrange an early dinner at a fancy restaurant called 'Simones' which served fabulous steak. I walked over there in the outfit i had worn all day not wanting to go home and change because I was totally in love with it. It was a mid-sleeve black dress with fabric that had sparkles built in. It went above my knees, i guess mid thigh and fit perfectly. I also had my black clutch and my 3 inch black pumps with a dazzling bow on top. 

Good thing I made reservations because Simones was packed to the limit. Since Ali had not yet arrived I decided to sit at the table and wait. Only a couple minutes had gone by as she surprised me when she popped into the chair in front of me.

"So whats the big news!?" she asked almost about to fall out of her chair.

I filled her in on everything as she either said "no way" or did a small scream. Once i was done telling her my day she congratulated me and told me how her day went including every detail from the moment she awoke this morning. She explained work and hanging out with John. Then came the part when she told me I might be interested.

"So i was walking down Center St. and saw your friend Sam! He walked over and asked if I was the one with you at the beach and i said yes. Then he handed me his number and told me to give it to you and he could NOT stop thinking about you when he went home last night! How great is that?" as she handed me the piece of paper with his number on it.

"Wow I didn't know he would actually want to talk or see me again. That's really sweet and thanks for telling me!" i said while adding his number to my phone. In a few moments our food had came and we started talking about our favorite clothing and shoe lines. It was 5:30 when we finished and went our separate ways for tonight. I got home and immediatly slipped off my heels because my feet had been aching from so much walking. I was on my phone and decided to call Sam. I did and...
