Woke up in the morning to the sound of my very annoying alarm. I then went inside the bathroom and took a bath and then brushed my teeth. Everything seemed fine and normal. That was until I checked the clock in the bathroom. It was already 7:54 am! If I don't do things fast, I might be late for school. I dressed up as fast as I could. I even skipped breakfast just not to be late.

I grabbed my bag and told my mom, "Bye mom! Got to go. I love you!"

I ran as fast as I could. Luckily, the school was very close to my house. This made the trip very short and fast. As I got in the gates, the guards looked like they were puzzled that I was running.

It disturbed me so much that I asked them,"Why are you looking at me like that?"

One of them replied, "Well, it's just that you're running."

What he said did not make sense at all so I said in return, "Yeah, so what?"

Another one said,"It's a Sunday."

The truth suddenly hit me. It was indeed Sunday. All along I thought it was Monday.

I said,"Thanks for telling me!"

That was so embarrassing. As I was leaving, I could feel like the guards were already talking about me. I ran again towards our house but then I thought of how it was very boring and besides mom would just laugh at me if I told her what happened.

I decided to go to get me some ice cream.

I was on my way to the ice cream parlor when I noticed a strange man following me from behind. I thought to myself, "Is he some kind of a stalker or something?"

I started walking faster. It was like running but not really running. The reason why I did not run was because maybe he was just going to another place wherein he needed to use this path. If I ran, I thought that maybe he would get the wrong notion and I don't want that to happen.

Thankfully, I arrived at the ice cream parlor safely and ordered my favorite flavor, Vanilla, to cheer me up. Even with this though, I still felt fear. I still saw the man in the ice cream parlor. The scary things was that he was so near me and he was staring at me like some kind of messed up psycho. I knew for sure my life was already in danger at that point.

Even though I still haven't finished my ice cream, I ran out of the ice cream parlor because of fear. Fear that something might happen to me if I stayed in there for a longer period of time.

The man followed me.

I ran faster so that he won't catch up to me.

I was even more scared when the man yelled, "Hey!"

That caused me to run faster.

Unfortunately, I tripped because of a person's foot blocking the way. This caused him to catch up.

He was very tired from trying to catch me but he was still able to say that he did not mean to scare me. He said he was very sorry for everything.

He said, "I'm sorry but if you're interested, I'm actually an agent from the biggest modeling school in the world, ONE Modeling School."

I replied while trying to get up, "W-What?!"

He said in return, "I'm Bryce Sparks. I want to scout you as a student there. You don't have to pay anything since I scouted you. I'll even provide transportation for you to go there. So what do you say?"

I replied, "Umm, I'm not very sure. I have to consult my parents first."

He said in return, "Okay, but when you finally decide to go there, just give me a call."

He then gave me his calling card and then left.

I looked at his calling card. It seemed pretty legit like I think he won't scam me or something. If only I could say yes right away. The thing is, it's my dream to become a model but I don't want to upset my parents for deciding on my own without telling them. This caused me to decide to go back home and tell my mom and dad about the offer.

It was about lunchtime when I said it. We were happily eating the scrumptious food that mom prepared for us. I asked my parents' permission if I could go to ONE Modeling School.

"But what about your current school? Are you just going to throw that away?"

My mom said.

I replied, "Mom, you know how much I want to be a model. It's been my dream since being able to watch my first episode of the Top Model franchise."

My dad added, "Let her decide for herself Stella(My mom). After all, she did everything we wanted her to do up until now. Let's give her even just this."

"Fine, but if you ever think that you made the wrong decision, don't say we didn't warn you."

My mom said.

I immediately thanked mom and dad for letting me go to ONE Modeling School and hugged them.

I went upstairs to get my phone and then called Bryce.

I said, "Hey! So I asked my parents and they agreed! I'm so happy!"

He replied, "That's great! Would you be fine to travel tonight?"

I was very shocked.

I said in return, "W-What?! Why so fast though?"

He replied, "It's a school day tomorrow. Besides, models should be prepared for some speed packing. So instead of blabbering, pack your things right away. Meet you at the ice cream parlor by 1:30 pm sharp."

After saying all those things, he immediately hung up.

Oh. My. Gosh.

I thought to myself, "I have to pack my things quick since I still have to take a bath again(all those running made me smell bad), and shop for some snacks!"

I immediately packed all the clothes that I can see and bring inside my luggage. After doing so, I immediately took a bath and packed some toiletries.

I went downstairs and told my mom and dad who were shocked about me leaving right away. We had an emotional moment inside the house. Time felt so slow most especially because I saw my mom and dad cry. I even cried while hugging them. I almost forgot I had to meet Bryce. The thing that reminded me the time was the wristwatch that I was wearing which was given to me by my parents. I bid them goodbye and then walked outside the door dragging my luggage.

I decided to scrap buying snacks since I'm almost going to be late.

I arrived at the ice cream parlor by 1:27 pm. To show that I'm not sitting there just for the sake of waiting for someone, I bought an ice cream.

I thought to myself, "2 orders of ice cream on one day? I'm surely going to get fat."

Bryce then entered the ice cream parlor.

He waved at me.

I waved back at him.

He said, "You didn't need to bring this much you know. The school gives its scouted students some free clothes."

I replied, "Well, why didn't you tell me? I went to all this trouble just to know that I will get some free clothes?"

He laughed, "Hahaha! It's fine. It wouldn't hurt to bring a little something extra. Now, let's go!"

I finished my ice cream and stood up from my seat. I then dragged my luggage going outside of the ice cream parlor. There, I saw Bryce's car parked outside. It was a Ferrari. It was my first time seeing one.

Bryce said, "Hop right in."

I went inside and buckled my seat. After Bryce was done arranging my luggage in the back to make sure nothing would be damaged, he immediately drove away to ONE Modeling School.
