Paisley P.O.V.
I woke up to the sound of rain hitting the roof, an indication of a horrible day. I signed as I remembered that I still have a whole audition to organize today. For my own convenience, I've changed all the audition dates for my drawing to Wednesday, which means that all the potential models will be gathered in the art room today, at the same time. I slowly rose from my bed and grabbed my uniform from the ground. I glanced at the clock and suddenly realized that I have only 20 minutes left until I have to leave home. I did my morning routine as fast as I can and hopped downstairs to eat my breakfast. Since I had no time left, I drank directly from the milk bottle and grabbed a piece of bread to eat on my way to school. As I opened the front door, a cold gust of air rushed in. I shivered. "Great way to start a day," I muttered to myself.
The rest of the day was painfully slow, with all the tedious subjects: band, social studies, P.E., and English. I couldn't wait for after school when I could go to my beloved art room, even with all those strangers who were going to come. And FINALLY, the classes ended. I rushed to my locker to clean up and pack my backpack before going to the art room.
"BOO!"My best friend Emily quietly crept up on my and scared the hell out of me.
"OMG Emily! How many times have I told you to NOT do that!?" I tried to yell at her angrily, but it's never possible to be mad at my best friend.
"Hehe...." she looked down guiltily,"I was just excited to come with you to the art room to see...stuff..."
I rolled my eyes,"Emily, I'm doing serious work here, it's not an exhibition for you to judge who's the hottest. Don't be so immature"
Emily pursed her lips," But I'm still coming with you."
"Fine." I grabbed her arm and dragged my skipping friend down the hallway.
Jason P.O.V.
As soon as I walked into the Art Room, I stopped dead in my tracks. What the heck? There are a bunch of people there, but none of them are doing any art projects. Did I come to the wrong place? I immediately took out my phone and checked the text again. No doubt, I came to the right place. They are probably also models, that explains it. Oh what!? A bunch of competitors? My chance of being her model... I signed. But when I observe again, my spirits soared. I am the odd one out here - I'm the only boy! I guess none of the other boys are interested in Paisley. They have such a horrible taste. I shook my head in pity. I didn't have to wait long, soon Paisley and her friend Emily walked into the room. Paisley seemed to be showering radiance compared to others in the room. Ahhh, why did she have to be so cute?! Everyone turned to look at her, and then turned their gaze toward me who's standing at the front of the room, grinning like an idiot. I realized their attention on me and all my blood rushed to my face. It was really embarrassing.
"Okay people!... I don't know most of you but apparently you've decided to audition to become my model for my art competition project. I am very flattered, but at the same time stressed. I hope you don't get mad at me if I do not choosing you. I think you all know my name, or else you wouldn't be here. But just in case, I am Paisley...and ya..." Paisley's awkward introduction brought everyone's attention back to her. Phew, I'm glad people stopped staring at me.
" Oh, and also, before you start chatting again, I would like to introduce to you my assistant/vise-judge. She's Emily and she will be helping me out during today's audition." Emily smiled warmly and waved at us.
"Okay people. Now you can relax for a few more minutes while Paisley and I organize this messed up audition." Chloe added. Paisley rose an eyebrow at her and Emily giggled. Her voice was quite high....at least for my ears.
Paisley's P.O.V.
I still haven't figured out what I should do for the audition yet. And everybody's already waiting right in front of me expecting me to organize an amazing audition. I waved Emily over," Hey, what should I do for the audition?"
"What?! You haven't planned it out yet?!" I immediately covered Emily's screeching mouth with my hand.
"Shush! I need your help, and that the only reason I've brought you here." I explained.
Emily showed me a sad puppy face," Is that the only reason? To use me as a tool?" I face palmed when I saw her sulking face.
"Well, you volunteered to be here in the first place. But, hey, since you are here, why don't you help me then?" I petted her hair to calm her down. Emily looked away from me and when she looked back, her eyes are filled with determination and excitement.
"Sure why not? We can make a miracle happen any times. Well, I've thought of an idea. Since they are auditioning as models for drawing/painting, we should first have the challenge of letting them sit for a long time without moving. Out of the 15 people here, the 3 people who sits the longest without moving would be our top choices. And then we can think of another challenge as we go."Emily whispered.
Why not? It would really benefit me while I create my project if my model can just not move for a long time and let me do my work. Mwahahaha...the torture can now start!
Dun dun dun.....the atmosphere is intense...but....I'm stopping right here, on a cliffhanger. Hold on readers, don't fall!
