KIARA'S POV
I woke up to the annoying beeping of the alarm I had set the night before. I rolled over onto my side and checked the time, it was 9:00, shit. I had an hour to shower, get ready and do my makeup and then drive over to the house, all in an hour.
I got up and showered as quickly as possible and grabbed a quick granola bar after hopping out. I applied minimum makeup and threw on the first thing I could find, hopefully it would look okay. I quickly opened my phone to double check what Alissa had told me to wear, 'something simple but like hot', I looked down at what I was wearing, close enough.
I called an Uber to the hotel and it arrived almost instantly. I hopped in and checked the time, 9:50, well that's just great. My first modelling opportunity and I had already messed up.
•••
I arrived at a massive mansion just in time. Multiple different cars were parked outsides, I saw a few Lamborghinis here and there. There were girls everywhere, probably here for the shoot too. They were all super stunning and I looked hideous compared to them. I continued to have second thoughts and doubts until the Uber driver interrupted me, "are you getting out or not?", he says angrily starting his car.
"Right, sorry", I say paying him, slightly embarrassed.
I followed the other girls through the garage all the way to what looked like a theatre room. There was a disco ball on the roof and a large screen at the front of the room. The room had a mini kitchen and bar in the corner and a stripper pole right in the middle of the room. A group of the girls went straight to the pole and started practicing on it. A little awkward and hesitant to really talk to anyone else I decided I'd have a little look around, after all we didn't really have to do anything for another half hour.
I walked all the way up to the fourth floor where I was greeted by two adorable bulldogs. They immediately started barking and scratching at my leg and I wasn't really sure what to do until Alissa ran out of a room to come get them, "oh my gosh, I had no idea you were already here!", she says picking up the smaller dog in her arm.
"Yeah, I think you said to arrive at 10 or something like that..."
"Oh right, I did, didn't I?", she says with a laugh brushing her hair out of the way of her eyes.
"Ahaha yeah...", I say awkwardly.
"Right...", Alissa says nodding her head and looking around, well this wasn't awkward at all.
"So, I should uh..probably start heading downstairs then"
"Yeah, I'll be down in a bit too", she says with a smile.
I nod and start walking back down to the room where all the other girls were, I still had 20 minutes until we actually started filming, but the conversation with Alissa was far to awkward to go on with.
I decided I'd post a picture of my outfit today and maybe distract myself with the comments in the meantime.
I quickly snapped a pic, so I didn't look too noticeable, I didn't wanna be 'that girl'. Instantly after I took the photo a girl came up behind me, "Ohhh... so you're Kiara", she says giggling and shaking her head.
I turn around to properly face her, "I'm sorry, do I know you?"
"Yeah...Don't you remember me?!", she says slightly offended.
"No..not really...have we met before?"
"Yeah! It's Lena!"
"Lena...?", I say raising my eyebrows.
"The plug, Lena the plug", Another girl says approaching us, "I'm sorry, she's really high right now"
"Oh, right. Yeah, that makes more sense now", I say with a faint giggle.
"But no, I don't think we've met before though", she says pulling Lena into a hug and giving her head a pat, "Tana.", she says with a smile.
"Kiara.", I say smiling back
"Aw that's pretty", Lena says in a hazy voice.
"I like Lena too", I say smiling.
"Do you wanna maybe come back to mine after this?", Tana asks.
I was gonna accept, maybe it'd be good to have some people to talk to in LA until I remembered my flight straight after, "Oh my God, I'd love to, but..."
"But?", Lena asks freeing herself of Tana's incredibly tight hug.
"I have a flight straight after."
"Aw, that sucks. Where are you flying?", Tana asks.
"Home, Baltimore."
"Oh wow, you have a British accent though?"
"I moved here when I was 12 so that's probably why"
"Oh wow, it's really strong"
"Whenever you come over to LA, hit us up", Lena says hazily.
"Yeah and maybe we can smoke some joints or something", Tana adds
"Oh um I don't really drink or smoke or anything like that"
"Oh so you're a good girl?", Lena exclaims with a grin
"I mean I-uh y-yeah, I'm what you'd call a good girl I guess"
There was immediate silence as Alissa came down the stairs with the bulldogs I'd seen earlier and got everyone into their places. Tana and Lena were the two main girls in the video and the rest of us were extras. I walked over to the couches right behind the stripper pole, like Alissa had told me. We were about to start until Alissa pulled me over, "Ok, your'e not gonna like this", she says looking around worried.
"What?", I ask concerned by the tone of Alissa's voice.
"So Tana wasn't really supposed to be here, but she showed up anyway and Rice really wants to keep her in the shoot."
"And...?"
"With all the bad publicity we really can't have Tana as one of the main girls in the video. So, we're switching you two around"
"Oh. Um, ok then. I don't have to do anything that's like too bad, do I?", I really didn't wanna prove Lilly right and be a dumbass hoe like she said.
"Just twerk a little bit, maybe grind on Rice a bit and then near the end take you shorts off. Don't worry you'll still be wearing like your panties though. That's all right?"
Well if I wanted to do this then I was gonna have to be a dumbass hoe and not care about what Lilly said. I take a nervous gulp, "Yeah, yeah, that should be alright", I say getting up to go over to the stairs where Lena and this 'Rice guy' was.
I'm not gonna lie he was kinda attractive and definitely my type.
We filmed for about an hour and Lena was super tired the whole time I tried my best to take care of her, because there was no way Tana was going to. She looked quite salty that I'd replaced her and clearly didn't wanna approach me.
The shoot so far was okay but we still had to film the part where apparently I had to take my shorts off. I just wanted to get it over and done with it and fly back home and see Lilly. I knew we were fighting but she would still pick me up from the airport.
I followed behind Lena and a few other girls into a large bathroom to get changed for the next scene. All the other girls were super excited while I was dreading it. All the other girls had been to the house before for other music videos so they were quite familiar with everyone and it wouldn't be as weird for them as it was going to be for me.
I quickly took my shorts off and hurriedly change into a matching red, lacy set and got out as quickly as possible.
I was super hungry and decided to grab a quick something before we started filming again. I walked over to the mini bar on the side of the room where a few other girls and Rice were standing.
