The rise of a star
"Oh my god, is it really you Luciana?" I wasn't sure if that was meant towards me, since there's probably a thousand Luciana's around the world, so- I did what any reasonable person would do, and kept window shopping while minding my business. Well- I tried too, but then I saw an awfully familiar figure beside me, though it didn't really click as I turned to her. "Hazel Ford?" There was no way that my high school friend, was standing in front of me right now. "In the flesh." She smiled at me. I take back what I said, this was really Hazel. When I moved to New York with my parents, me and Hazel became friends in high school, and we kept on being friends until I moved back to Brazil, then I guess we both had things to think of and lost contact. We decided to grab a coffee together, and then she told me that she worked for the Starstruck Agency, basically a design/ model company, and she told me that she could put in a good word of me to her boss. Which I happily agreed to. - But what happens when the real reason as to why Luciana left Brazil comes back at her, full force? Would it change Luciana's life for the better or the worse? Warnings: They are over the age of 20 (young adults) so it'll probably contain a little something. But that's it, hope you enjoy! (This is a collab with my best friend @Aileenloves so go read her story as well; The Mark Of A Star)Complete
