"Nice to meet you" he said detachedly, with his stern, empty face while shaking my hand. His touch sent shivers down my spine, who was this man? He certainly wasn't the boy I knew a couple months ago.
"Nice to meet you too" I greeted back, plastering a fake smile. For some reason I got really nervous around him, my heart was beating as fast as the decline of America's future once Donald Trump became president. My palms were sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy... sensing my uncomfort he smirked, which made me even more nervous.
I quickly snatched my hand away from his, not bearing the awkwardness any longer.
"ALRIGHT LET'S PUT THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD" the director shouted.
Oh god, just as I was excited to be modeling for the most trendiest fashion magazine, I had to be modeling with this man...
The man who I broke, but like what Kelly Clarkson said, "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger", this strongly applied to Noah as he climbed to the top in a matter of months.
"Fuck" I mumbled under my breath and glanced at the little caterpillar that had pain stakingly turned into a butterfly.
He was gazing right at me, smirking, and said "Come on Eve, let's play".
