Fake Dating Pt.1

It was not so normal day in Downtown City when you know your friend's designs were going to be featured in the magazine of the city's top fashion icon, Mona Autumn.

It was an exciting Friday morning, as Pepper, Minka, and Penny Ling gathered by Pepper's locker, looking through an issue of Mona's soon to be released magazine issue.

Pepper stood in between the two girls, magazine in hand, looking through the pages filled with Blythe's designs.

"Oh my goodness! I still can't believe that Blythe's designs are going to be seen by everyone! And I mean everyone!" Penny Ling exclaimed as she eyed the photos.

"And I still can't believe we got to model for them. I mean, look at these pics!" Pepper grinned as she pointed at the picture of herself.

Not only was Blythe asked to create this year's "Winter Lineup," but Mona also wanted models that would "suit each outfit." Well. Pepper and the rest of her friends have nodded for Blythe before (mainly Zoe & Russell), But never have they had pictures taken before.

"So crisp and clean!" Minka complimented the photographs as Pepper continued to flip through the pages.

"Imagine doing this more often! Wouldn't it be amazing? The world would know your name!" Penny sighed, imagining the ideal world of a model.

"I mean, it all really depends who you're doing this with." A new voice added. The three turned their heads to face Zoe, a hefty, not so happy looking expression looming on her face.

"Hey Zo, what's with the face?" Pepper raised a brow.

"Yeah! Doesn't look very happy.." Minka added.

"Ugh I don't really have time to explain, I just need to find Russell." Zoe quickly stated as she looked through her phone for his contact information. She rapidly began texting him. The girls all looked at each other, a tad confused.

"Is something going on?..." Penny peered over to her friend.

"And should Minka be concerned?" Pepper jokingly added, Minka then sending her a glare.

"Sorry darlings, I'll explain it all later." Zoe put her phone away and began walking back the opposite direction, almost running.

"Yikes...what's eating her?" Pepper crosses her arms in question.

"Uh.. nothing was eating her right now..." Minka replied, making Pepper roll her eyes.

"No I mean, I wonder what's up? I thought she'd be thrilled to see her face plastered all over this thing!" Pepper pointed at the magazine, flipping to a page that mainly had Zoe's pictures plastered on them.

"I mean, look at it." She said again, "She and Russell got so many pictures. I wouldn't be surprised if she was upset that there wasn't enough pictures of her.

"Those two did a really good job at this. They're naturals!" Penny took the magazine off Pepper's hands and skimmed through every page. "Huh...this is all just so strange.." the girls lingered as they slowly decided to follow where Zoe had gone.

"You know Minka, if Russell wasn't so oblivious about his feelings, you'd be dating a supermodel by now." Penny giggled, earning yet another glare.

"First of all, stop reading my mind." Minka huffed, "And secondly, I don't think he'd be up for that."

"Oh really? Gee, that's a total shocker." Pepper sarcastically gasped.

"You know that kind of talk is starting to get on my nerves, Pep." Minka warned,

"Well it's technically true, Minks! Don't deny it..." Pepper smirked. Before anymore can get said, Penny immediately stepped in between the two.

"Seriously though, I think we should just go and help Zoe by finding Russell! Important or not." Penny suggested, locking her hands with each of her friends.
