My heart jumps the next morning. I wake up because Elle FaceTimed me.
"What?" I yawn.
"Good morning, sleepyhead." She beams.
It is 8:30 so she finally got it right.
"Good morning." I reply.
"What happened yesterday?" She asks.
I recap my whole day with her.
"Oh my God, people can be such assholes. Are you really going to do what they say?" Elle asks.
"Yeah, I'm here. I don't want to get fired because I'm not doing what they say." I respond.
"Would they really fire you over that?" She asks.
"I don't know but I'm assuming." I say.
Elle rolls her eyes. "People."
I recall the events that unfolded with Anthony last night and gasp. Elle hears and then asks what's up.
"I went on a date last night." I gasp.
Elle's jaw drops.
"Yes, bitch,' she laughs,' it's your first night in LA and you're already getting it. So tell me about this guy."
"You're going to think it's crazy but..." I chuckle.
"C'mon, it's not crazy. You're beautiful." She smiles.
"Fine. Remember Anthony Campbell?" I ask.
Elle's jaw drops. "Holy, shit! Don't tell me-"
"That we went out? We did!" I swoon.
"How was it?" Elle asks.
"Perfect. He's so fucking hot. Besides that, he's also really sweet." I swoon.
"How'd it go? Would you see him again?" Elle asks.
I'm about to respond until I remember last night.
"Hey, are you okay?" Elle asks.
I guess I'm wearing my thoughts on my face.
"No, I just-I really want to see him again. I liked him a lot. But, last night, I had a mental breakdown and I don't know. He probably never wants to see me again." I sigh.
"Wait, why'd you have a mental breakdown?" Elle asks.
"LA. There are so many drop dead gorgeous girls and his fans are beautiful. It made me realize that maybe this modeling thing isn't for me after all." I sigh.
Not too much later after that, we hang up. I'm starting my homework when I get a text.
Anthony Campbell
Last night was amazing. Wanna do it again 😏?
I'm about to respond when someone knocks on my door.
"Cecily? What are you doing here?" I ask.
She walks right in.
"You have to be more careful." She warns.
"What are you talking about?" I ask.
"Don't tell me that you haven't seen it. It's literally everywhere." She says.
"What?" I respond.
