-Clay-
I wasn't able to get a wink of sleep last night. Probably a side effect of having too much fun with Sasha. She was so fun to be with. I loved how I can act like who I really am even if I just met her.

I was reimagining the events that happened last night when a voice suddenly said, "Clay! Straighten your back! No one would get a model with that walk! Do it like this!"

Right, I was in class.

Unimaginable right? It's only the first day and they expect us to be flawless. God, why did I even come to this school?

I finished my time on the runway and I met my roommate, Zach.

He said, "What was that? You were so good in our practice yesterday."

I replied, "I was just a bit distracted."

He said in return, "A bit? It looked like your soul was somewhere except here. Is it because of that Sasha girl you met last night?"

He was right. I was so distracted by the thought of Sasha. The mere mention of her name takes me back to last night. Probably the only night in my life where I didn't think of anything. Probably the only night in my life where time moved so fast. Probably the only night in my life where the world moved so slow.

Probably the only night in my life where I became happy.

As I walked the hallways going to my next class, I saw Sasha with a girl.

I tried to hide from her as much as I can to avoid her from seeing me like this, lost in the moment, but she noticed me walking.

She said, "Hey Clay! I just want to thank you again for keeping me company last night."

I replied, "Y-Yeah anytime!"

She said in return, "I'm so sorry I suddenly closed the door."

I replied, "It's really fine."

She replied, "By the way, this is Alice."

Alice said, "Hey! Nice to meet you!"

I then said, "Yeah. My name's Clay."

Alice then replied, "Yeah, I've heard a lot of things from Sasha."

Sasha then elbowed Alice.

She said, "I'm so sorry. Alice tends to spit some stories in her mind."

She then let off a small laugh. I don't know if it was of guilt or something else. It didn't matter. As long as she's laughing, then it's great, right?

I also laughed but the longer the conversation went, it was just becoming more awkward for me.

Sasha then said, "Clay your face is as red as a tomato. Are you sick or something?"

I replied trying to find an excuse, "So that's why it was kind of hot earlier."

She said in return, "Want me to take you to the infirmary?"

I said, "No, I'm fine. I can go there myself."

Alice then asked, "Are you sure?"

I replied, "Yeah. I'm sure."

After that, I quickly went to the direction of the infirmary. Luckily, my next class was in that direction.

I went to my next class. It seemed very quiet. Probably because of the teacher not arriving yet.

After about five minutes after the bell rang, the teacher arrived.

The teacher said, "Hi guys! I'm sorry for the delay. I was trying to find an available photographer today. Thankfully, I was able to find one. Let's go to the field to get the photoshoot done. I'll explain further later."

After that, all of us in the class went outside to the field. I was shocked to find the all of the other freshmen which were all girls because ONE Modeling School separates the girls and boys into two different classes. This could be because there are things that the girls and boys do different like poses and walks in the fashion world I think.

The other freshmen included Sasha.

Sasha's eyes then found their way to where I was standing.

Sasha walked towards me and said, "Clay! I thought you were sick. Didn't you go to the infirmary?"

I replied with a lie, "I did. They said it would be fine for me to continue classes as I only got a slight fever."

She then said, "Oh, okay! It's good that you're serious about school and all but please take good care of yourself."

I replied, "Will do. Thank you!"

The teacher of our class then said, "Form two lines with the boys occupying one line and the girls occupying another. Basically, form two lines with each class occupying one line."

After the classes formed two lines, the teacher of the class of the girls said, "Hello guys! Welcome to your first integrated class. Also, to your first integrated photoshoot."

I was shocked.

I thought to myself, "Why were they making us do these things on just the first day? Are the following days going to be even harder? Ugh, why did I come to this school?!"

The teacher of our class then added, "All of you are going to be partnering up with another person from another class."

I was quite ecstatic. Maybe I'd get to partner up with Sasha! I hope we pick our own partners.

The teacher of the other class then added further, "But you won't be picking your own partners."

I joined the class as they complained.

The teacher of our class said, "That's how it works in the world of fashion. You just have to be professional."

After that, we were assigned to our partners. Unfortunately, I wasn't partnered with Sasha but to someone named Chloe.

I tried to be professional and said, "Hi! I'm Clay."

She replied, "I'm Chloe."

I then said, "It's nice meeting you!"

She then replied, "Likewise."

After we were finished with all of the preparations for the photoshoot, the photographer started calling out names on who were going to be first.

Finally, it was time for Chloe and me to get our pictures taken.

The photographer was saying stuff for us to improve our pictures but overall he said that we did good for our first photoshoot.

When we were done, Chloe and I were told that we could go to our dormitory rooms and rest since it was the last class we had to take today.

Chloe went ahead to her dormitory. I decided to stay to watch the photoshoot of Sasha and support her.

Turns out Sasha was partnered to Chris, the popular freshman. He was so popular because of his looks. People were talking about how hot he was or how perfect his face and body were like they were chiseled by the gods.

He and Sasha did great. They didn't need comments from the photographer. They work so well together. They were like childhood friends who just met again after a lot of years.

To everyone it was very evident, they had chemistry.

It was evident even to me.
