For years since I resigned from my carriers, after the accident, I tried to forget my life as a model, as a singer and as a dancer. In a way I agreed to come to Avalon High, because, when I'm here I could forget everything. No one knows me and I could be me. Not Rebecca the modeler. Well, that's what I thought.

One day when I was on my way for a photo shoot which was quite far from my home, I got into an accident. I usually drive my car to the places I want to go as I'm strictly against using a driver. I couldn't remember what exactly happened other than having a brief memory of suddenly turning the steering wheel in high speed to avoid a person, who was standing in front of the car out of nowhere.

The hospital only let me leave after a month or so. My father was sad and at the same time furious. He wanted to find the one who tried to kill me. For months I couldn't walk and those days I studied for the entrance exam. I didn't want to become a burden and this was the only thing I could possibly do to help myself. And for my luck I passed the entrance exam and now, here I am.

The one who wanted to kill me was Katherine Stevens. Even though we have similar surnames, she wasn't one of my relatives but instead she was supposed to be my friend. She was Chloe's boyfriend, Mike's ex-girlfriend; well they broke up long before the accident. She used to be a good girl but, her father's nature changed her completely, into a different person. She hated being second for a long time. No one was able frame her because at that time when the accident happened she was abroad.

I know it wasn't her but; someone related to her did it because as far as I know she isn't a person who takes another person's life for granted. Well, that's the Katherine I know.

I loved being a model. Now that's one of the things that I don't like. But I don't hate it. I just hate models who want to be number one, not fair and square but by hurting another person. '

Modeling might be a job carrier, but if you want to model then you have to love it. Everytime you stand in front of the camera you need to feel relaxed and most of all you need to enjoy standing there. If you just want money and competition, then give up on modeling' That's what Alfred told me on my very first day.

Chloe and Carter knew about my accident because at that time they were on a vacation in Illyria and were staying at my house.

As it looks like Alfred won't stop talking so I said slowly as I can, not wanting to attract attention more than I already have,

"That's enough, Alfred"

"Look Rebecca, I'm sorry about the accident......."

Why can't he read the air around me and keep his mouth shut?

"I said that's ENOUGH. Don't you dare speak about the accident in front of me again"

I was on the verge of exploding myself, so I tried to leave as I need a good cry now, but Chloe grabbed my hand and stopped me.

"Becca, I know you are angry... and I know this is selfish of me to ask this, regarding the situation. But please..."

Tears were rolling down from my eyes and I looked away from the crowd. I just hate the feeling. Remembering something you don't want to remember, really sucks. I just....hate it....

"We all know how much you loved modeling. Even Alfred knows it, you know it, Becca. I know this is not my place to say this. But I have seen what you went through, just forgive him, Becca. You know more than anyone else that he's not responsible for what happened as he was waiting for you, to start the photo shoot. "

Then even Carter too started taking Chloe's side,

"I hate to admit this darling, but Chloe's right. And I know you know it too more than anyone else."

I know that none of this is Alfred's fault. And I know he was waiting for me, at that time. But maybe I just needed someone to blame.

It's just... all I wanted was to be away from anything regarding modeling again. But now my best friend is a model.

With all this going on my head, I looked at Alfred who managed to give me a smile. Just when I tried to look away he called me,

"Rebecca, I'm sorry ok? If I knew that Katherine hates you I would have never told you to come to that shoot. I never thought that she hates you. After all you two acted like friends when shooting. "

And he hit my nerve,

"That girl is not my FRIEND. I know Katherine better than any of you and I know it's not her who did this, but someone related to her." I let out a sigh in desperate, knowing very well that it's her father who did this.

Andrew suddenly interrupted me,

"I don't know what's going on, but Rebecca is you really a model??? Like us? Seriously?? "

Compared to me they are still juniors. But I didn't tell it to them. Why do I? It's not that I want to show off.

"No, I WAS a model. Not anymore"

I was on my way of losing my anger when Carter looked at me and gave me a mischievous grin,

"Andrew she's not just a model, but a professional one. You guys are still beginners compared to her. "

Andrew's and Yuki's mouths dropped and I rolled my eyes when Carter and Chloe looked at each other and started laughing knowing that one way or another I'm going to explode myself. Seeing them I smiled to myself and stated,

"Very funny, Carter."

And I looked at Alfred and mumbled,

"Now why don't you start the shooting and just get over with it?"

Alfred smiled surprisingly at me and said,

"You never change, Rebecca. Why don't you come and watch it. Chloe would be happy too. After all you are the whole reason she started this. "

"Yeah, please come, Becca. I know I'm nowhere near as good as you. But I want you to see how much I want to do this."

This girl..... I signed. Well as half of the school is going to watch this, why not watch it,

"Fine. I'll watch it. Now go and get ready ".

Before she could hug me I pushed her towards the corner where Yuki was waiting for her. Only then I realized Andrew's staring at me. I don't know why but I feel really comfortable when I'm with him.

I suddenly became conscious and started blushing. I looked away asking,

"I don't think there's a parade on my face"

He smiled loudly and I turned to look at him and narrowed my eyes. He said, still laughing,

"No, I was just thinking that it's no wonder that you have a nice shape. But now you mentioned it, there's a nice parade going on with nice curves and......"

I started blushing and I punched him, which made him laugh louder.

"Rebecca....", I avoided his gaze and whispered,

"Just go and mind your own business"

Before he could protest or tell anything, I walked away.
I saw now that they have placed chairs, so some can sit. I saw Carter and when he looked up and saw me he pointed the seat next to him.

"How are Aunt and Uncle doing??" He asked.

"They are doing fine as always. But Dick is waiting for you to return, so he can play your games. What about you? How are you doing??"

"Pffft ..... You know I'm always doing fine. But I'm worried about you, Rebecca. I know you hide everything."

When he said that, I looked at his face. I know he can see through me. His face is troubled and for the first time in years I can't read his expression. I gave up trying to read and said,

"Stop it. Don't worry about me, please."
" Becca but......"

I interrupted him and said,

"Not now. The shooting is starting. You girlfriend's there too. So watch it."

With that I looked away. I don't want him to worry about me more than he already is. But within seconds I looked away again because it's embarrassing as Andrew kept staring at me. I don't know what's wrong with that guy. Ever since he discovered that I WAS a model, he keeps staring at me and it's really creeping me out.

I tried my best to avoid eye contact with him and concentrated on my partner in crime, Chloe who's now dressed in a shirt and a very short skirt. Then only I realized her boyfriend isn't here. I have to admit that she's gorgeous but I also have to admit that, Yuki's more talented. After all Yuki and Andrew are seniors and Chloe is still a beginner. But I know that as she has potential she'll improve a lot. Chloe saw me staring and waved at me. I gave her a smile.

I could clearly see that she's nervous. Then finally the shoot began. They stood up in different positions. Those three looked good together. The one I liked the most is when they took pictures keeping Andrew in the middle while other two are on either sides of him.

It's not like I couldn't feel it. I could feel Andrew's dark blue eyes staring at me, during the whole photo shoot. I began shifting in my chair. Carter must've sensed something as he turned towards me,

"Becca, why are you blushing?"

I looked at him and shook my head,

"Nothing, it' just so hot here."

"Really? You know it's winter now right?", he gave me a smirk and added,

"Don't worry, Andrew's not a bad guy and I'm pretty sure he's wandering if you are actually a calm and quiet shy girl as that what we said about you."

"Me, calm and quiet? Since when?? But you guys talked about me?"

"Yeah, like most of the time. And I wasn't really bothered explain that you definitely don't fit into the calm and quiet group when Chloe mentioned it to them, that you definitely belong to that group."

My eyes widened with horror and I started laughing too.

"Ok done. Thank you guys for your hard work. Andrew and Yuki, try applying for the Teen Magazine's interview, and Chloe, I'm really happy to see that you have improved a lot. You can try applying for the interview too now."

So what do you guys think??

* will Andrew and Rebecca hook up??
* what's the relationship between Carter and Becca??

And most importantly what will happen next??? :)
