I woke up at 5:08 pm and rushed myself to get dressed.

I was wearing my Black Lace-Up Corset underneath my Red and Black striped Off-Shoulder top. I wore my favorite Black Skinny Jeans from Hot Topic and some Black Lace-Up Platform Boots.

I brushed my long Cherry Red hair and styled it the way I wanted. I put on my dark makeup, grabbed my phone, and left out the door.

Today, I was competing in a Beginners Fashion Contest.
I've never been in one and I've never competed in one, but I know that I have a somewhat good fashion taste.

I arrived at the big building and greeted my friend, Avery. She was wearing a pretty sparkly, black dress and some black flats. Her hair was short, brown, and had two caramel streaks in it. "Hey! Whew! You got here just in time." She said, "They're about to announce today's Contest Theme. You'd better hurry up and get out there. Put a little bounce in your step, babe!"

"Haha.. Ok, ok. I'm going." I laughed.

I walked up to the registration aria and signed myself up for dressing the models.

Avery was the daughter of the dude who ran this show, so she told me she would meet me in there and tell me how things would be going down.

I picked up the pen and wrote down my name and age,

Veronica Wattson, 16

The contest was to make a bold outfit that'll shock the world. Once I understood what she meant I nodded and walked inside to meet up with Avery again.

"Excellent! You've officially entered the contest. Now you need to select a runway model to show off your outfit. The right runway model is key to any good stylist's success." She started and handed me four files. I was the first person to sign up for this so I got to choose first, "She'll be the one to bring your outfit to life on the catwalk, so chose wisely. You can pick from one of four beautiful young ladies who you think will best represent today's theme. Most of these models are new to the industry, but they all dream of making it big in the fashion world." She added.

Her dad walked up to her and whispered something into her ear, "Yeah. Ok...." She replied and he walked away.

"Now, since they're newbies, they may be a little nervous. Just keep your cool, and I'm sure they'll do the same. After you coordinate an outfit, you can style your model's hairstyle and makeup to match. The show will start in three hours, so be ready. Break a leg out there!" She explained and smiled.

"Okay." I whispered to myself as I read all the papers before picking my model.

Model 1:
Lorena Johnson, 15

I'm super competitive, and I can't stand losing. I will seriously do whatever it takes to win for you!

Model 2:
Bette Norman, 17

Why pick me? Well, I've practiced my runway walk so much I don't remember how to walk normally!

Model 3:
Roxie Cruz, 14

I take my two cats for a walk almost every day, so I think I'd be a total natural on the catwalk!

Model 4:
Keisha Waltz, 16

I may sound arrogant, but I'm absolutely the right person for this job. I promise not to let you down!

I thought for a long moment before calling out the first contestants name, "Lorena!"

Out came a young girl with pink hair, hazel eyes, and pale skin.

"Hello! I'm SO glad you picked me. Yay! I won't let you down. We are definitely going to win this thing!" She exclaimed happily.

"Hah, yea we are!" I exclaimed, matching her enthusiasm.

"Oh, and I love today's theme. What was it again?" She questioned.

"Um I think it was, 'Dare to get wild! A bold outfit that'll shock the world!'" I told her.

"Oh that's right! Thanks!" She chirped, "We can totally pull that off... I think! Are you ready? I'm ready! Let's do this thing!"

"I like your spirit, Lorena! Let's do this, and win!"

Both of us walked into the clothing room. Lorena took off the robe she was wearing and tried on a Sequined Tube Top with some High-Waist Shorts, a Felt Fedora, and some Zip-Front Ankle Boots. "This is probably my favorite outfit, really." She said and spun slowly in front of the full body mirror.

I laughed, "Yeah, but it's not really what I'm looking for. Try on these." I said and handed her some clothes.

After a few minutes she came out wearing a Striped, Sequined Top underneath a Blue and White Striped Off-Shoulder Top, a Sequined Micro-mini(Mini skirt :P ), some Blue and White Lattice Over-Knee Socks, and the Zip-Front Ankle Boots from earlier. "Wooow! This is so pretty." She breathed out and twirled again in front of the mirror.

"I like that one too, we're gonna wear that one. Well... you are, I'm not." I laughed. "I know." She giggled.

Next thing was to Style her hair. I picked the Long, Tousled, Swept-Back look for her and told the hairdresser to dye it a Cobalt blue.

Then we went to go do her makeup, I chose the makeup kit called, 'Zhade'. It had blue eyeshadow, black eyeliner, black mascara, light pink blush, and a natural colored lipgloss.

"Are you ready?" I asked.

"Yeah, we've got about 50 minutes left. What should we do until then?" She asked.

"Not sure..." I responded.

~50 minutes later~

We ended up talking the whole time about random things.

We wanted to go last, because judges almost always pick the last ones, so the three other contestants went out first.

The man began to speak, introducing the audience, "YEEAAAH! Everybody raise the roof for your MASTER OF CEREMONIES, the famous MC Mode! My fans, you've been stuck in standby mode for far too long... It's time for the Beginner Contest! MC Mode knows you're thinking, 'What IS tonight's mode?' Hold on to your jaws, because they're about to drop! Date to get wild! A bold outfit that'll shock the world! Who will rise to the challenge and dress for the occasion? And whose outfit gets tossed to the back of the closet?! MC Mode hopes you're all in the edge of your seats! Glitterati from near and far: ARE! YOU! READY?!
I hereby declare this style showdown, the Beginner Contest... OPEN!
HERE WE GO!"

The first model walked out a few minutes later as the music started, it was the Bette girl, she was wearing a Strapless Sequined dress that stopped mid thigh, some striped black and white leggings, and Metal-Ring Boots.

After her was the third contestant, Roxie, she was wearing a flowered bikini top underneath a flowered cowgirl vest. She had on a long brown skirt that stopped before hitting the ground and white flowered sandals with a brown cowgirl hat.

After her was the fourth contestant, Keisha, who was wearing a pink leopard print shirt underneath a sleeveless denim jacket. She had navy blue leggings underneath a faded red skirt, crossover-strap sandals, and a black fedora.

After her was us, well Lorena, and she strutted out there like it was no ones business.

After everything, we came out winners. The guy from before started to speak again,

"WHEW! Talk about some fantabulous fashion! What do you think, folks? Let me get into congratulations mode for the winning stylist and her model! I have been your humble host--the one, the only, MC Mode! Rest assured, our paths will cross again at the other contests! MC Mode never forgets about his fans! And on that note, I love you and leave you! Stay always à la mode! Until next time--farewell, my wonderful fashionistas!"

~~Backstage~~

"Yay! We won! We actually did it! I can't believe we beat the other contestants. They were all so good! We sure make a great team. You created such an amazing outfit. And I'm sure my signature walk helped show off the outfit on the runway! Thanks for picking me, Veronica! I hope we can work together again sometime soon." Lorena said and waved goodbye, we exchanged hugs and parted our way.

I met up with Avery outside, "Great job! I have to tell you--everyone was simply raving about your outfit." She smiled

"Thanks." I replied and returned a smile. "In an industry like this, that's a pretty amazing accomplishment. You should feel proud of yourself!"

And proud I felt.

After that, I entered in other contests. Intermediate, Advanced, and I gave some advice to others for fashion.

A/N
Wow... sorry for how long that was =.=
