"Ah Shit!"I scowl irritated at the alarm clock. I glance at the alarm and it's 10 in the morning. Already! Gosh my head hurts as I barely slept yesterday, I have been up all night searching for a job in LA. Having been finished with my graduation from the University of San Diego, I will soon be shifting to LA with Jenny, my best friend and I desperately need a job there in LA.
My phone rings pulling me out of my reverie."Where the hell are you Kendall. We were supposed to meet at the London Coffee house at 10 I think"snaps Jenny." Oh shit I overslept jenny. I promise I will be there by 11, I apologise." And I quickly turn the call off. Oh this woman! She is  Miss Jennifer Lockwood. She is this gorgeous brunette with sky blue eyes and full lips. She is Rich,very. Her parents run buissness almost in every part of USA. I quickly get off the bed and take a moment to examine myself in front of the mirror. I am all pale,light brown eyes which are too big for my pale white face,my long caramel brown hair falling down my shoulder upto my breasts, I m dressed in my pink strawberry PJ's. I quickly get up for a bath and get dressed in my recent favourite dress which my mum bought for me as a graduation present. It's a lovely yellow colored dress with Lacy straps it's kinda short I think but it's perfect for a summer brunch.
As soon as I enter the living room which is light brown in color with wooden floors some of our family pictures are hanging on the staircase.
My younger sister, Irene Lewis is sitting on an off white couch with her laptop on." Who are you and what have you done to my tomboy sister" she finishes the sentence with an unkindly laugh. I ignore her completely after all I don't like arguing with her and she is a complete nuisance sometimes. She is still in her black Lacy nightdress. Whoa! Lazy people. I roll my eyes at her. And soon my mum Raphael Hill Lewis enters the living room with a magazine in her hand I guess. She is talking to one of her friends I guess. I quickly give her a quick hug and bid goodbye to her and swiftly climb into my white colored San Marcos. Oh it's old afterall it's a second hand car which my dad bought for me as a birthday present on my 18th birthday.
I miss him everyday. I glance up at the time shit it's 10:48 in the morning, I need to be quick inorder to meet jenny.
I pull up outside a small cafe. It has light brown doors and white bar stools. A blonde lady dressed in a black colored jumpsuit opens the door for me. Oh I am not used to getting all of this resepct. It's kinda mortifying sometimes. It's not the best place here in San Diego but at least it's affordable and there are not so many people inside here maybe all of them are out enjoying their Sunday. Great! I am an introvert I don't like meeting much people or you may say I m not used to it. And there is jenny waving at me I wave back at her with a big grin on my face. I take a moment to admire her she is so beautiful unlike me and she is dressed in an orange camisole saying 'I love myself' paired white shorts which outlines her curves perfectly.
I reach for her on table number 5 in the right row from the door. "Hi" she murmurs. I give her a full face splitting grin. She takes a moment to scrutinize me.
"You okay darling?" She says calmly looking anxiously at me. Oh no not again I don't like her motherly side Everytime! She is so bossy sometimes. I cock my head to one side and respond.
"Ahem...y..yes jenny am good it's just...that you know my job."I respond looking shyly at my knotted fingers.
"I know darling you are worried about your pending student loans and now a goddamn job." She responds looking straight into my brown eyes.
After a beat she adds." I have something for u."
I ignore her last sentence."oh jenny...what should I say.. I am so broke after dad left all of us on our own mum took charge of our family but she is getting old she is ageing and...I don't think she'll be able to keep up with her job as a receptionist anymore." I say feeling immensely shy. Tears prick the back of my eyes. I don't wanna be homeless.
"Look I know and I am very sorry to hear this out Ken but I may help you."
"What?!" I murmurs quizzically at her.
And she grins. A full jenny like i-am-gonna-solve-this grin and says
"Ken as we have planned you are going to live with me at my apartment,after all it's quite big for both of us without paying any sort of rent. We may shift there by next week and u can decide your job once we shift to LA. And till then I have this for you."
Oh jenny she has always been my only and only best friend since kindergarten and I love her but this is a really big favour and I m not sure about this. She hands me some pages of a city magazine. I go through them once.
"Oh c'mon girl u want me to work as a model for them?!" I say way too loud I guess shit.
She nods." Hell yes Ken you can do this and you will get enough money for now."
"But a photoshoot jenny I m not sure about this. I mean just...l..look at me I am all pale who will sign me for this goddamn photoshoot?" I respond with dejection.
"Oh no darling are you out of your mind? You are such a pretty woman they will surely sign you all you need is a makeover and that's it you will rock and I know this." She says with hope in her eyes.
Oh my why does she even think I can do all these stuffs I mean modelling this is just not my thing. I can't face cameras. It's a big no!
"You know me well Jennifer and you must be aware I can't face cameras in front of the whole crew members. No!" I scream at her.
She keeps quite for a minute. Oh say something she is never this quite and it's been a minute I think, this is so unlike jenny I guess she is disappointed in me.
"Look you need money at this point of time and I know you will have enough money for now after this photoshoot after all this photoshoot is for the biggest company in USA, for the
Brown Broadcasting company for the original one which has it's original building in LA. And you know what the hot CEO and enterprenur the Aden Brown is going to be there for the photoshoot himeself." She screams rather too loud.
And I don't care about that man she is talking about after Parker who was my crush in college rejected me and insulted me in front of the whole school I don't have the courage to like or love someone again. And I have a unique choice in men I don't get attracted to anyone I meet. I only got attracted to Parker because I used to like him since first class. Oh poor me! My subconscious snarls at me and I ignore her. Forget it Kendall you should be over him by now.
"Ken you will get to meet the hottest and the richest person of LA and believe me I have seen his photographs he is just.....wow." Jenny says her eyes gleaming with joy.
"Oh... I know you are right I need money and please jenny I don't have time to think about these men right now please. I will think about this interview and I have an afternoon shift today at the berthemen's so let's be quick darling." I respond and she nods.
After a small chit chat and a quick brunch I wave her goodbye assuring her that I would surely look after this photoshoot but deep down I know I don't have this much of courage there will be many women registering for this shoot with that mr.hottie head according to jenny so...I have no chance,jenny should know this but I need money and this is it I have a family to support. And all of a sudden I have started feeling dizzy again shit is it the champagne we had at the brunch or just my usual weakness I don't know. I quickly climb inside my way too old car and I head over straight to the berthemen's restaurant. I have been working there since past few years as I needed money for my studies then and they needed a girl who won't argue and would be punctual so it worked both ways.
As jenny said we are planning to move out of San Diego later next week. So this is basically my last or the second last week at the berthemen's. Shit. I will miss them they were way too nice with me maybe because I used to mind my own work but...God knows.
It's 12:05 and Mrs berthemen is at the reception arguing with someone over call. Oh this is her usual self. And Mr berthemen is at the coffee table and... Wait...no!He is here too!
"Hey miss Lewis how u doing"snaps David. Oh he is his usual flattering self  and has a big grin on his face his green eyes shinning with what...love? Excitement?... Dude he is just so damn irkring sometimes. I don't like talking to him much but this is obvious I can't ignore him after all he is the younger son of Mr and Mrs berthemen. He is all over me always and this is what I hate about this man!
"I am kinda busy lately. I will see you around later." I try to put this conversation off. He hesitates but then leave shortly after.
The rest of my day ended quite well. All of the customers and the owners themselves were quite nice with me.
The day flew by quickly and I am inside my home at 6 in the evening. When I return home mum is busy scolding Irine she might have done something wrong as usual and I don't give a fuck about what she does and what she doesn't. I already have much problems to deal with but Irene never disappoints me to add one more problem in my life. She just wants to party around with her friends ignoring what I and mum say. This is so frustrating.
I climb upstairs and head to my room.
Oh shit the photoshoot! I have completely forgotten about it. I will have to search more information about this photoshoot if I wanna apply but i...I don't have a laptop and my phone it's an old one and doesn't work  properly. This sucks. I don't even have a phone but...examining the condition of our family right now I think not having a phone is not a big problem at least we have a place to live and food to eat but we need money and... I.. oh shit I have to search for my job too ohh my my!
I lay in my bed wondering about my next step and soon I fall asleep after all I was exhausted and I had a long day at work too.

What happens next? Who know.
Will Kendall fall for the rich and intimidating CEO?
Will she be able to support her family?
Will she agree for this shoot?
Will they even sign her?
Much things await for her in this long long journey of hers.
Keep reading to find more. I will release the next chapter within 24 hours.
