"Cuz maybe you're lovable, and maybe you're my snowflake. And you're eyes turn from green to grey, in the winter I'll hold you in a cold place. And you should never cut your hair because I love the way you flick it of your hair, and you will never know just how beautiful you are, maybe I'm just in love when you wake me up" my alarm went off, as it played the song on my phone which it was connected to. "Oh ed, I would love to wake up to you ANYDAY!" I murmured into my soft pillow. I looked over at the alarm clock, 10:30! Alright time to get up and get ready for the meeting. I flipped my hair upside down and put it into a messy bun. I slipped on my Sock money slippers from target and trudged to my dresser to pick out an outfit. I grabbed my phone and turned on my hipster indie jams on 8 tracks, then checked the weather. 66 degrees and cloudy. Alright that's perfect! I decided to go sort of comfy since it was cloudy, but also decided to show off how I could easily match abercrombie's clothing.

I pulled out my khaki jeggings from abercrombie kids, an oversized white knit sweater from them as well, and a blue Infiniti scarf from hollister. I rolled the cuffs of my jeggings to make them into cropped jeans, and slipped on a pair of white converse. After putting my outfit on completely, I headed to the bathroom. I washed my face, teeth, etc and decided to straighten my hair. After 10 minutes my hair was down to my belly button. I nodded in approval as I reached for my makeup. I decided simple was good, eyeliner on top, mascara, and foundation. When I was done it was 11:30 and I headed down to get my mom to start the car.

"Hey mom legggoooo!"

"Ok hunny! You know you could've Driven yourself! You have a license anyways."

"I know, but I need you at the meeting. Remember?"

"Oh yeah silly me"

We headed out the door, as she locked the house and unlocked the car. I skipped happily to the passenger side and buckled myself in. My mom began to drive off as I turned the radio on. "Shine bright like a diamond" I groaned as I face palmed myself. "No Rihanna I will not shine bright like a diamond, maybe I want to shine bright like a penny! Huh? Have you ever thought about that?" I screamed to myself as my mom stared at me from the corner of her eye. I switched the station to my favorite hipster/indie station; 105.3 HOLLA AT ME! Home by Phillip Phillips soon filled me ears. "Just know you're not alone, I'm gunna make this place your hooooooomeeeee" I screeched along to his angelic voice.

"Who sings this song?" My mom said.

"Phillip Phillips!" I chirped. His name was too funny

"Good keep it that way!" She said jokingly. I rolled my eyes and pouted in my seat. "I'm kidding honey, I know you can actually sing, but you sounded like a dying walrus a second ago!"

"IT WAS ON PURPOSE!" I screamed. She was right, I actually could sing, but nobody really knew that. It was my secret talent, which I was going to save until the perfect moment came along to release the beast within!

My mom pulled up to the Starbucks, and I hopped out of the car gigidy with jitters! I hope I can work for them, imagine the opportunity. As I opened the door I saw the lay from yesterday, Courtney, along with two men in business suits with briefcases sitting at a small circular table at the end of the cafe. He waved me over as i tugged my mothers arms to follow me. We headed over and sat down, "hello autumn! It's a pleasure to see you came. I brought my coworkers and lawyers to help set this out, is that okay?"

"Yes! It's perfect, and I brought my mother, Mary." My mother and Courtney exchanged hand shakes. We made some small talk as the waitress came over with hot cocoa for me.

"Now onto business," Courtney spoke as she set her cappuccino down, "I talked to my boss and I sent him a picture I took of you yesterday and he said you were perfect for our short line. The only problem is your age, and school."

I nodded, "we'll I'm actually off until the new year begins in fall."

He face lit up, "PERFECT! okay well this is great then, " she chuckled, "we'll be needing to send you to Europe, and Canada maybe so you need to be free almost all the time."

I sat my drink down in shock, "Europe??"

"Yes?" She raised her eyebrow, "the short line opens in London and we are having a huge model photo sheet for a couple of weeks with all the hollister and and abercrombie and Fitch models. Is that okay with you?"

"Yeah I've always wanted to visit London!" I smiled, and then my face fell; what about mama?

"Wait mom?" I said as he turned her attention away fro Courtney to me.

"Yes dear?"

"What about you?"

"We'll I can't go because I have work. "

Courtney politely budded in, "well we actually have all the models share a hotel. We partner them up into rooms, because parents rarely ever come. And all the expenses are take care of" she smiled.

My mother sat there thinking it over, "we'll auddie if you really want this, I think it would be good for you!"

My face lit up, "I'd love to!"

Courtney smiled , "okay well we just need you to look over the contract, sign it, and oh you can still work or us during school, but it won't be as intense. Okay?"

I nodded in understanding.

Twenty minutes later I had finished reading the contract and signed it, at the bottom it said my income, my eyes bulged; 15,000 a year! Holy cow!

"Well now that you're done with signing lets talk about you're flight tomorrow"

"Tomorrow?" I asked confused.

"Yes," she said, "we need you in London in two days. The photoshoot begins on Monday, and since today is Saturday we need to get you there as soon as possible!"

My mom smiled in acceptance. Courtney finished, "so we bought a ticket which flies of our SFO at 12 pm tomorrow. It will arrive in heathrow at about 9pm Sunday. Then you will be assigned to a partner model into a hotel room, and then will attend the photoshoot at 12 pm Monday. Oh and don't wear makeup or worry about your outfit for the shoot, we will apply your makeup, do your hair, and pick out outfits! Then on Wednesday we will assign you to a store in London to model the floor and greet people because London is such a popular city, and it will attract more customers. Does that sound okay?"

"Yes, of course" i said with a grin. Wow these next few days are going to be exhausting!
