Model Mishaps

Chapter 1
Piper's POV

His lips were just centimeter away from mine and I could feel his breathe on my lips.

His beautiful blue eyes sparkled brightly yet they were filled with love. Just as he was about to kiss me however he stopped.

'What's wrong my love?'

He opened his mouth.

'Piper! Snap out it! Your totally awesome best friends are here!'

Than he- wait a second What?

I felt my book being snatched away and instantly to glare at whoever did it.

'Really pipes? A romance novel? Don't you have anything better to do than read this junk? Besides it's Summer! You suppose to enjoy the holidays with us! Not go to some dumb audition!"

I scowled and snatch the book back.

'This is not junk Katie! And Annabeth! I expected much more from you!'

Annabeth raised her eyebrow and looked incredulous.

'Excuse me! What did I do? I had absolutely no part in it!'

I huffed.

'You should have... I don't know, prevented Katie from doing so or something!'

'Oh please and miss out on this? The great Piper McLean reading a romance novel? I am so proud of you!'

Silena squealed and hugged me.

'Can't... breath... Silena... somebody... help.'

Silena let go and giggled nervously allowing me to finally breathe.

'Oops sorry piper, I'm just so proud!'

She reached out towards me and i dogged her.

'Please stop struggling me. I would to stay alive seeing as Summer just began.'

She pouted as the three of us laughed.

I stared at my three best friends and smiled as I hugged my book.

Katie Gardner was our black haired brown eyes environmentalist.

She was the daughter of the town's local flower shop owner and excelled in anything related to plants.

Silena Beauregard was our group's fashion and boy expert. She was what you call 'boy-crazy' who was in short, stunning. She was the daughter of the local chocolate shop owner and loved anything related to love.

Lastly, Annabeth Chase was our blonde eyed genius. She had blonde princess curls with unusual grey eyes and a California tan and was probably the smartest girl I knew. She lived with her father and stepfamily that she hated.

Lastly there's me. I have kaleidoscope eyes that change colour and choppy brown hair. I guess I'm supposedly pretty since I'm a commercial model/girl. In case your thinking 'what the hell is that?' Let me make it short and easy.

I have stared in thousands of commercials where I promote horrible products and make them look like they are good. I have been doing it every since I was a few months old and is I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm one of the best in the industry. If you actually saw me you would be wondering where you saw me. I look familiar but yet unknown to you.

This is most likely because you wore my face on your diapers when you were a baby or you have put your thumb on my face while eating a snack bar. My face is plastered on TV commercials everywhere. In fact you might even have seen me while taking a bath, seeing as I did a hair advertisement a few months ago and my face is currently on shampoo bottles everywhere.

...

Ok, that sounded gross.

Besides all that I'm the daughter of Tristan McLean (Yes the Tristan McLean, the Famous actor) an actor. But many people don't know that I'm his kid of course except my best friends. I'm actually quite lucky to have friends to be truthful. Many girls with my jobs usually have to concentrate and hardly have any time to make friends that is.

Lets just say because of our popularity in the industry, we do not exactly bother about school and could care less about school. Than again, other people who think that girls like us are snobs mostly doesn't approach us.

Anyway I snapped back to my friends.

'Do what are you guys doing her? This is a go-see audition. Last I remembered, I'm the only girl in the school who go to this things.'

'We just wanted to see how the system go and besides,' Annabeth raised her eyebrow, 'we notice some girls walking out of the building dejectedly every since you got here. Why is that?'

'Really? Wow, I must be more awesome than I thought.' I said kiddingly.

'Haha so funny.' Katie said.

'Don't you have to practice for your go-see-'

'Callback. I already pass the go-see.'

She looked skeptical.

'Fine. Call back or something.'

I raised my script.

'There's only two lines. What's there to practice,' I said, ' and how did you guys get in here? Only auditioning people can come in.'

Silena stared at the quiet room where other girls were starting to stare.

'Um girls I think we are attracting too much attention. We should go before the guards catch us.'

I looked at her incredulously.

'You sneaked in here? Are you guys crazy?'

'Hey! We did it to see you! Look at the time we should go now girls.'

I saw to guards approaching.

Katie gulped while Annabeth nodded.

"Yep. Bye piper! See you later!"

And with that the three of them ran out of the door avoiding the guards.

I chuckled and stood up just as someone called my name.

'Here!' I yelled as i entered.
-Line break-
Later on...
(Still) Piper's POV

I walked out of the place, knowing that I had the job in the bag.

Just than my phone rang.

Looking at the caller ID, I recognize it as Aphrodite, from Aphrodite cabin, also known as my agent and more importantly, my mom. You see my parents aren't married and my mom brought me into the commercial industries when I was young however I live with my dad. They aren't really on good terms. Complicated huh?

"Hey mom what's up?"

"Piper! Pack your bags! Your going to New York! I have talked with your dad and everything's arranged!" She said excitedly.

Wow, she talked to dad? It must be important.

"What for?"

"I have sighed you for a beauty pageant! It starts in a week and its in New York!"

I swear I'm not lying when I say I stopped in the middle of the street and froze there.

'Hello, Piper dear? Hum... maybe I was to direct...'

Than I started screaming.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN A BEAUTY PAGENT? YOU KNOW I HATE THOSE THINGS! HOW DARE YOU SIGH ME UP AND IN NEW YORK TOO! IT'S THE SUMMER HOLIDAYS AND IM STUCK DOING SOME STUPID BEAUTY PAGENT? FORGET IT IM NOT GOING!"

I heard her winced.

"Darling maybe you should calm down a bit-"

"CALM DOWN?! CALM DOWN?! NO! I WILL NOT CALM DOWN! STAY IN YOUR OFFICE! IM COMING OVER!"

Without hearing her reply I hanged up and began running towards her office, pushing through the crowd that had formed and were staring at me, stunned by my screaming.

Ignoring them, I ran towards my mom's office, mumbling cussed words on the way.

In the office...

"Oh hey piper. What are you doing here-"

"Where's my mom." I snapped.

My mom's secretary looked surprise.

"She's in her office. Why-"

I pushed pass him and stormed to my moms office.

"Continuing my earlier statement, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
My mom was looking skeptically at me.

"WHY ARE YOU-"

"Ok, to answer your questions, A) this pageant could give you a boost to your career and promote the company. B) You have to go and C) even though I'm sorry for cutting into your summer no, you may not bring your friends."

"WHAT? But I-"

"No buts-"

After about half an hour of arguing, she won. I walk dejectedly out.

"Make sure to bring your things Piper!" My mother sang. It amazing how she could go from firm and strict to fun and sweet so suddenly.

"Guess I'm going to New York. Hopefully the girls won't be mad I thought, biting my lip.

Than again, I'm always wrong in this kind of prediction.
