Always on my Mind

Chapter 5: Some Girls....

Abi's POV:

  Only three days have past since we met the Phelps Twins but it already seems like ages ago. I guess it's due to the very fact that Meg and I have been busy with various photoshoots. It was very tiring but fun! I just wish that we'd get the chance to tour around London more because so far, all of our photoshoots were done in the studios but with our busy schedule in the way, I don't think that's even possible to happen soon.

  So now, we were doing our usual photoshoot in the studio. The photoshoot was for "Seventeen Magazine" and everything went smoothly.

"Great job girls! Your photos will surely bring an awe to the readers once they see it!" Kristie, the production manager, said as we finished. She's actually quite nice! Accomodating us with our every need and guiding us through every photoshoot we did.

"Thanks a lot Kristie! We couldn't have done it without you!" Meg said as she smiled at Kristie.

"You know the company is very fortunate to have you girls down here. You're probably two the best models we've ever had!" she said enthusiastically "Now we better get you two ladies to your dressing room to prepare you for the next photoshoot!".

As we approached the door, she turned to the both of us and said "Oh I forgot to tell you, you'll be sharing your dressing room with two other models who will also be doing their photoshoot right after the both you. is that ok?"

"Sure Kristie! We'll be friends with them as soon as we step out!" I said. Kristie smiled and said "Ok then!" then she turned her back as she directed orders to the other crew.

We opened the door and saw the models there, being prepared for the photoshoot. Their names were taped to the mirror they're using that's why we knew immediately who they were. One girl, named Stephanie Reid, had her long black hair in "Katniss-Like" braid (Yes, Katniss Everdeen from the Hunger Games) and she wore a long red gown. The other girl, named Audrey Manson, had a fair complexion, fair skin and long brown hair which fell perfectly on her shoulders. As we sat down in front of our mirror waiting for our stylists, Stephanie Reid suddenly spoke aloud "Ugh why do we always have to share a dressing room with other models?!" she said as she looked at Meg through her mirror.

I looked back, shot her a look and said "Excuse me miss Reid but do you have a problem?"

"Oh yes I do... It's you and that model being here!" she snapped back. "Do you even know how important we are?! We're like VIP models from LA! We've done multiple billboard advertisements on the world's most famous products and were even awarded! What's with you two miss Collins and miss Wilson?"

"Like you, we've done billboard advertisements but we're also commercial models." Meg said as she turned back to see Stephanie. "You don't have to be so braggy."

"I see your little faces Miss Collins and Miss Wilson" Audrey Manson said "What went into the minds of this company's staff to pick you two if you're not even that pretty."

Stephanie laughed and said "I know right? And Miss Wilson, take note you need to lose some weight." That was it, I've had enough of these two! I was about to stand up and fight them when suddenly a person called for them.

"Pwew, finally! Come on Steph, we need to get out of here so that we wouldn't have to see their very unpretty faces." Audrey said and the both of them laughed as they stood up and went out of the room leaving me and Meg alone.

"I'm gonna kill them." Meg said as she glared at the door.

"You don't have to trust me. Just keep cool. I don't think we're gonna see them anytime soon." I said. Then our stylists went in and did our make up.

45 minutes later, we came out of the dressing room. As we were walking on the way to the set, we stopped dead in our tracks as we saw Stephanie and Audrey doing their photoshoot in OUR studio! I felt anger stir up inside of me while I watched them do their poses for the next 10 minutes. That was the worst 10 minutes of my life.

When they finished, Audrey saw us and then whispered something to Stephanie. After that, the stepped down the platform and started to go towards us. As they stopped in front of us, Stephanie said "Aren't you girls gonna stop getting into our studio?"

"Uhmm, in case you don't know, we share the same studio. And would you leave us alone please? We're not even doing anything to you." Meg said glaring at Stephanie and Audrey.

"Hey! We were here first so that means this is our set and studio! We do not need the two of you stealing away the spotlight!" Audrey said.

"Who ever said this was yours? There's no "First-Comes-Serve" policy here Audrey." I snapped. "And why are you so afraid of us stealing your spotlight? I thought you were beautiful enough for the spotlight to be yours and yours alone?"

"We're not afraid of you freaks!" Stephanie said, raising her voice in anger.

"Well prove it then!" Meg said then suddenly before anything could happen, a familiar voice said out loud "You know, the girls have a point."

All of us looked towards the direction of the voice and realized that it was Emma Watson! THE EMMA WATSON! My eyes popped real wide when I saw her there. What was she doing here?

"Of course we have! We were here first!" Audrey said. I felt my insides go weak. She's probably talking about Stephanie and Audrey having a point in all this.

"I wasn't talking about you Miss Manson." Emma said as she walked towards us "I'm talking about these two girls here." she said as she pointed to Meg and I.

Stephanie's eyes went wide open and her jaw dropped in disbelief. "What?! But this is OUR photoshoot! No theirs!"

"They're models too Steph and they're obviously here for work so this is not entirely yours!" Emma said, pointing to the ground "And don't you have anything better to do asides pushing people around?"

Audrey frowned and took a step towards Emma "Fine! But we'll make you regret this Watson! You'll see!" she said and Stephanie nodded in agreement. After that, they walked away.

"I'd love to see you try." Emma said in a low voice as she watched them walk away. "So, you girls are new? Where you from?"

What? Did Emma Watson just speak to us? I wasn't able to answer quickly because I was just sto shocked! Good thing Meg answered immediately. "We're models from New York. We're here in London for a couple of weeks for work. My Name is Meg Collins and this is my best friend Abi Wilson."

"Wow! How nice to meet the both of you!" Emma said as she shook our hands "My name's Em-"

"Emma Watson" I cut her off, finally breaking my silence. "Yeah we know you. We're both potterheads to tell you the truth. And we're big fans of the movie too" I said, trying to keep my cool.

She merely laughed and said "Really? Well that's really sweet thank you!"

Meg and I giggled and I asked "Are they really like that? Those models?"

"Who? Oh Stephanie Reid and Audrey Manson? Yeah, they always think that they're on top of everything since they're one of the top models and everything. But don't mind them. They just have big heads." Emma said and we all laughed.

"Is there any way to make their heads smaller?" Meg joked.

"I dunno about that!" Emma said as she smiled "But hey! Do you guys wanna visit the Harry Potter set tomorrow afternoon? If it's ok with you of course."

And Bam! That was it! Meg and I looked at each other. "We'd love to go!" I said to her. We didn't have any work anymore tomorrow afternoon anyway.

Emma smiled and said "Ohh goody! Let's have it arranged after your photoshoot!"

And there it was. After our photoshoot we arranged our meeting for the next day....

Meg and I are gonna have the time of our lives I thought.
