Isabella's POV

Tuesday flew by and it was already seven at night. Sadly on Tuesday's and Wednesday's, I didn't start school until eleven in the morning and didn't get out until around four. It sucked but luckily, Thursday and Friday are like Monday and I get out earlier. Anyway, I spent all day thinking about the modeling offer. Should I? Should I not? Is it worth it? Should I risk my future career as a doctor?

Melody came up to me and then left so quickly I didn't get a chance to even come up with any questions. Maybe she'd let me ask her over the phone? Yeah. I.. I think I'll call her. I walk to my bag and grab the card. I sit on my bed with the card in my hand for another thirty minutes. Should I call her? I'll be losing my 'dream' of being a doctor. But I'll be making more than a doctor. Okay. Just breathe Isabella. In and out and count up to twenty.

Once I'm finally relaxed I get my phone. I slowly dial her number and put it up to my ear. As I'm about to hang up she picks up on the fourth ring.

"Hello. Melody Heart speaking. Who's this?" She says sharply. My breathing starts getting louder, and I realize that probably sounds creepy so I use the breathing techniques and calm down. "I-I'm Isabella Alvarez. You approached me yesterday in Starbucks?" My voice is weirdly calm. Not fully confident but it doesn't sound like how I feel. That's good, right? "Ah yes, Isabella. You've made your final decision I assume?" I nod. But I realize she can't see me so I speak up. "Well, I was wondering if I could ask a few questions first." She sighs quietly. "Yes but make it fast okay."

"Okay." I think of a few questions that have been scratching at my brain to figure out. "Since I'm in college you said I get to pick my hours?" "Yes, ma'am." I bite my lip to hold in a laugh. 'Ma'am'.

"How long does this last? Like if I ever wanted to quit could I?" She lets out a breath. "After the first year yes. But you have a year where you cannot. You also get vacation time and time off for emergencies if you earn the hours while you work." Okay, okay, that doesn't sound too bad. But do I want to work here for a year? Though, it won't even be a full year with the vacations she mentioned. "Do you know what area in modeling I'll be working in?" I ask slowly. I hope I don't have to wear those ugly ass clothes and model them like they're cute. That'd be the worst.

"Well considering your height, and I'm sure you don't weigh too much over 100 pounds, you'll probably be a model who shows off underwear. I don't work with Victoria Secret so not one of them, but that's where I'm wanting to put you." I almost squeal. Those models are always my favorite to watch. Okay, I know my answer. "Okay, that sounds great with me. I've decided, I'll take your offer." I hear her clap on the other end. "Great, good. I'll be sending you an address to meet me on Thursday. We'll discuss your hours, the breaks I'll be giving you, and weekly income. Have a great night Miss. Alvarez."

I hang the phone up and squeal in excitement. I jump around and do a happy dance. "What happened to you?" A deep voice interrupts me. I quickly stop and my cheeks, neck, and ears grow a dark shade of red. He was not supposed to see that. I quickly fix my hair and stand up tall. Even though he'll most likely be like a foot and half taller. I turn around and see Aiden. I yelp in surprise. I thought he didn't talk to people intentionally. "U-Uh.. just some good n-news. What are you doing here?" I seem to have a hard time speaking to him. Snap out of it Isabella. I take some deep breaths. The entire time he studies my face. Watching me. I quickly put on an impassive mask. He didn't need to see how nervous I was at the moment.

His hand was around his neck as he spoke. "I uh, guess I confronted you last night or the night before?" I nod slowly. "Yeah, I was pretty shit-faced, I don't even remember most of what I said." I nod. He looks at me wearily. "Whatever I said, just forget it all right? Especially if I was being cocky or all douchey, I can't really control myself in that state." I awkwardly smile. "I wasn't going to anyway, but alright." We sit there for a little longer and then I couldn't handle how awkward it was so I decided to end this here. "Bye Aiden." He looks at me and smirks. "First name basis already?" He asks, sighing. I lift one shoulder then let it drop. We make eye contact one more time as he leaves and he throws "Bye Munchkin." Over his shoulder. My mouth drops and his smirk grows bigger at my reaction. Then he leaves completely.
