Chapter Twenty-Three: || Mary

I was in class bored as hell. The teacher is making us read this book and I'm not even reading it.

"This book is interesting." Erika whispered to me.

"What?" I whispered/yelled. "I'm not even reading it but your interested in it."

"Ironic right." She said but keeping her eyes on the book.

"No it's crazy." I said.

"Shhh." She said shushing me. I widen my eyes surprised. I tried reading but I only read one page. I then get a text and thank god my phone is in vibrate, the class is quite.

Teo: want to hang out?

Mary: umm Teo?

Teo: oh shit sorry Mary, I meant to text someone else

Mary: okay, who your going to hang out with?

Teo: a friend. You don't know her.

I couldn't reply back to Teo because the bell rang. I walked out of class and me and Erika were heading to cheerleading practice.

"So can we hang out today after school. Wait never mind I don't have to ask you to hang out." Erika said locking arms with me. I unhooked me arm from hers.

"Well I'm busy after school." I said.

"Ohh okay. Well then we'll hang out tomorrow." She said.

"Yea of course." I said.

"Good." She linked our arms again and we walked down the hallways to practice.

After school I quickly went home.

I run up to my room and went to my computer. I printed out the pictures that I took of Erika. I know she actually wants to be a model, but she just won't admit it. I put the pictures inside a folder and out it in my bag. I changed out of my school clothes into something else. Like sweats with a hoodie and vans. I put my hair in a messy bun and walked into my moms room.

"Hey mom can you drive me somewhere?" I asked her.

"I'm really tired sweetie I can't. Where do you need to go?" She asked putting down her book.

"Never mind then. I'll call a taxi, I'll be back in an hour." I said walking out her room.

"Alright be safe love you." She yelled from her room. I yelled an I love you and grabbed my house keys and left. I called a taxi and waited for it at my front porch.

The taxi came and I got in and told him the address.

We arrived the modeling/acting agency, were my manger works at. She's still working now, I'm not her only client.

I reached the front desk.

"Hello can I please talk to Christina James?" I asked the young man at the desk.

"And you are?" He asked.

"Her client. Mary. Mary Anderson." I told him.

"Okay. I'll call her up." He said. He called her office phone and she picked up.

"Hello?" She said.

"Hi Mrs.James, I have Mary Anderson here she wants to see you." He said and I heard her sigh from the other line.

"Send her right up." She said and hanged up. The guy put the phone down and pressed a button and the door open.

I went to the elevator up to her office. I walked out the elevator and knocked on the door to her office.

"Come in." She said and I open the door."I was about to leave, but since your my favorite I'll see you. Anyway is there anything you need?" She said.

"Yes actually. My best friend, Erika, is a model type. She's better than me. She's tall and skinny and her hair and light brown and straight. Her hair is almost up to her hip. She's amazing. I actually have some pictures here to show you some proof that she is everything I just said." I said to her taking out the folder from my bag. I handed it to her and she open the folder and checked out the pictures.

"May I ask who took these photos?" She asked admiring them.

"I did Mrs. James."

"Amazing job." She paused. "I'm not going to lie Mary, she is amazing as you say, but it's not easy to get her to a modeling gig. I need permission from her parents, we have to pay for her first photo shoot to try her out. I need to interview her. There's a lot of work to do. Unless she's up for all that, then I'm up for it to sign her up."

"Will she have a different manager than me? Because if you do sign her up then I feel like we'll be at competition." I said.

"Yes of course. That will also take time. Here" she said handing me her card. "Give her this and tell her to give me a call if she is interested, and I'll set up a meeting with her and one of her parents."

I sighed wondering what I could do. Erika does not want to do this.

"Okay. Thank you for your time." I tell her and walk out.

I went outside and back inside the taxi. He drove me back home and I paid him. I walked inside and took a deep breath and laid down on my bed. My phone started ringing and it's Teo. Thank God I need his advice right now.

Yes I know, what am I doing getting advice from a 15 year old idiot.

"Hello?" I picked up.

"Hey baby. I miss you how are you?" He said.

"I'm good. I miss you too. I need your advice though. I'm having trouble." I said.

"Okay what is it?" He asked and I heard some ruffling in the background. "Stop Lauren I'm on the phone."

"Who's Lauren?" I asked.

"A friend. Now tell me what's going on in your pretty little head of yours." He said.

"I want Erika to be a model, she's so beautiful and I don't understand why she doesn't consider it." I said.

"Woah what you mean start from the beginning."

"Okay I told her she should model. But then she was against it, so we did a mini photo shoot here in my room. Then I printed out the pictures and I showed it to my manger. And if Erika wants to get signed up she has to get an interview with my manager but the problem is that she doesn't want to do it.." I told him the whole story.

"Well." He sighed. "Tell her what you did and try to convince her that she should at least go to the interview and not get signed. But at the same time, Mary, you shouldn't have gone behind her back and do that. If she didn't want to model, respect the fact she doesn't want to, and leave it alone." He said, this is the things I love to ask Teo for advice. He gives me the truth, and doesn't worry about hurting my feelings, because honestly it won't be good advice when a person is telling you what you want to hear.

"Your right Teo. Thank you."

"Any time my love. Anyway I got to go, it's getting later here in New York and I'm tired. I'll see you soon. Love you."

"Love you too bye." I said and hanged up. I want to go over to Erika's house. I feel bad for doing this to her. I'll tell her when we go to school tomorrow.
