two weeks had passed since my Calvin Klein interview and apparently, today was the big reveal on who got hired, I started listing different back up jobs just in case i didn't get hired. I was so anxious about getting the call i made sure i let my phone stay at a hundred percent all day then finally, the phone rang, i was so exited i started running to my phone, almost dying on the way, i answered " Hello?" I changed my voice to a Business-like tone, to hide my excitement. "am I speaking to Elise Bennit?" The other person on the other end sounded serious, did i not get in? questions started to flood my head as i panicked, waiting for them to say something "This is she," I said gulping, hard. "We've come to a decision that your picture was the best, so you've got the job, we start shooting at six am tomorrow, be there. oh and Congratulations." the only words that i actually heard were 'you've got the job' I couldn't hold my excitement, i started squealing as soon as i had hung up. "Oh my God!" I yelled laying on the soft mattress that i had yet to put on the bed frame.

Friday.

The news was out, all over new York, even though half of the town don't even know me. I wore sunglasses even though it wasn't hot, i was wearing a brown crop top, black leggings and some high heels. I walked through the front glass door of the Calvin Klein building, i still couldn't believe i was the lucky one. as I reached the front, i looked around then lifted the sunglasses and placed them above my hair, "Hi, you know who i am," I said to the Blonde who was here the first time i came She rolled her eyes and licked her red lips "just because you're the new model doesn't always mean you're going to keep your job, try me and i promise i'll get you fire-" She started to growl at me but got cut off by the front door closing loudly, the noise echoed throughout the halls. Both our heads turned back. "Ethan," a smile appeared on her face, we made eye contact but then i looked away. He came to the front. "Hey, Denise, I lost my key-card at home, think i can get the spare?" He spoke to her and she nodded, making her gold hair bounce in the ponytail she had put it up in. 'Now's my chance.' i thought. "Hey, you think i can get one too?" I managed to say before Ethan could walk away and she kept the fake smile on her face, placing my own key-card against the glass counter softly. "Thanks, Denise." I grabbed her hand with both of mines just to annoy her even more. "Hey, you're that new Model, right?" Ethan said leaning against the counter, looking straight at me. "Yeah." I said, grabbing my key-card and placing the black string around my neck. "Let's go upstairs," He said and i nodded. I pressed the button to call the elevator "What are you doing?" He almost yelled, startling me "W-what do you mean?" I said and he shook his head in response. "That elevator is for the unimportant people, there's a elevator for models like us," Just hearing his voice like that made me feel, strange.

"Alright?" I said, following him, shortly after. he walked towards the gold-like elevator, pressing the shinning button, not long after the elevator was called, it came down. "So," He clapped his large hands together once the elevator doors had closed. "How old are you?" He looked me up and down before licking his pink, plump lips. "I'm eighteen." I said "What a coincidence," He laughed, shifting closer which made me a bit uncomfortable. he must've noticed because seconds later, he moved back. "You look younger than me are you sure?" i asked and he raised an eyebrow. "I'm kidding," I quickly recovered the conversation. 'the lift is taking so fucking long' i thought then, the elevator doors parted. "after you." He said and i exited the lift. "meet me in the coffee room at twelve," He whispered in my ear, then walked away. all of a sudden i was hot and bothered by the situation i had to remove my coat. "Elise!" the guy who showed me around two weeks ago called my name, "Hey." I shook his hand again. "Congratulations," He began to speak, leading me to his office "So, I'll just speak for a few and you then your camera man will take you to your lounge with all the other models," He said and then i nodded.

Bryant took me to the lounge and i hung my coat up on the cloak, sitting down on the sofa right next to Ethan, but he changed his hairstyle? "Hey," I tapped who i thought was Ethan until he turned around and said, "Do i know you?" Ouch. "Are you not Ethan?" I asked crossing my arms "No, i'm Grayson, his twin brother, Ethan's at the coffee room," He said chuckling "Oh shit the coffee room." I mumbled checking the time -12:01pm- "What was that?" He asked " I said where's the coffee room again?" and then Grayson let out an, 'Oh.' before saying, "it's right around the corner. are you the new girl?" I was already getting tired of being asked the same question and i've only been here for six hours. "Yes, Elise Bennit, I have to go." I said rushing and turning the corner to see Ethan in a big square glass Coffee room, was everything made out of glass in here?! I opened the door quietly and his head shot up "You're late-" He began but i cut him off, "i just got out of a kinda sorta meeting thing with a guys name i don't even know yet and then i started a conversation with Grayson who i thought was you but." i shrugged pouring water into a glass cup "I see you met my twin," He let out the cutest chuckle i started to relax in his presence. "Hungry?" He asked and i nodded "So grab your coat and let's get out of here,"
