Kendall was staring at her reflection in the mirror. It just kept staring back at her. It was making her feel more self conscious than she already was.
"Come on! You've got this." She whispered. Trying to ease her stress a bit as she closed her eyes. "Come on Jenner!" She firmly closed her eyes once more, taking another glance at herself. She did look beautiful. She just needed to get it right. That was all she had to do; yet it seemed so hard.
She intentionally didn't want another family member at this fashion show. They probably would be the stars of the event if they were present. She wanted this to be all about her; yet she somehow underestimated the difficulty level.
A knock on her door brought Kendall out from her thoughts.
"Yes?" She nervously called.
"Hey there Kendall." Cara walked in closely followed by Doutzen.
Kendall felt an electric shock go through her body. She couldn't help but notice how amazingly beautiful her friend looked. Cara's makeup was revealing her piercing blue eyes. Proving how icy her stare could be.
"Hey Kenny!!!" Doutzen brought Kendall out of her stare.
"Hey guys." She replied dryly. Anxious as hell when she noticed a few people start yelling backstage. The show was about to start.
"First show, huh?" Cara asked smiling. She had been extremely helpful to Kendall in the past few days. The whole squad was a big support. But Cara had always been willing to give her a helping hand when she needed it most.
Kendall closed her eyes and nodded. "The first is like the hardest. But once you get in the catwalk you won't want to return." Doutzen commented as the memory of her first show ran through her head.
"Come ON! That's not motivating at all!" Cara uttered sarcastically. "Get up right now!" Cara told Kendall as she searched something on her phone. Kendall basically ignored her, too lost in her little world.
"Get UUUUUP!" Doutzen grabbed her hands and pulled her off the chair.
"What's wrong with you guys?" Kendall asked as kindly as she could manage. She didn't want to argue.
"Wait a sec... YEAH." Cara beamed with happiness. "Listen and scream." Doutzen poked Cara's side.
"As much as I hate to admit this really works." Doutz confessed.
Loud annoying heavy metal music filled the room. Cara started yelling to the beat along with Doutzen. Kendall joined in a bit after seeing her friends. It did help her ease a bit of her stress. She felt less overwhelmed. She felt cool.
*******
"Everybody, places. Right now!" A guy knocked the door and walked away. Cara stopped the music and held Kendall's hand only to notice it slightly trembled. Kendall felt a familiar warmth go through her body. She smiled at Cara's sweetness. Unlike what many people said, she really was a sweetheart.
"Come ON! You will do it, right?" Doutz lead them outside.
"Just don't let your insecurity take over you and you'll be perfect." She shared some of her experiences with the younger model.
Cara let go of Kendall's hand and strutted to the catwalk, opening the show. A loud applause was heard after her appearance on stage. She returned and walked over to her friends.
"Kendall don't be scared. Imagine there's no one in there and all those people are just... Statues! Like Hindu gods!" Cara suggested making everyone laugh.
"I'll try." She laughed harder. A few other models walked the runway. Kendall was up next. She felt Cara squeeze her hand and let go as she started talking toward the catwalk.
She closed her eyes for a split second and took a deep breath. This was it. She was going to do it. "Just imagine they're all Hindu Gods..." She told herself and started strutting down the catwalk. Everyone started cheering once she appeared. She smiled slightly as she posed. She was pleased by the reaction she had gotten; she then, walked back with the same grace.
Backstage Cara and Doutz congratulated her first ever catwalk appearance.
"That Hindu thing did it all by the way." Kendall admitted. Cara winked.
"When do my suggestions let you down?" She laughed.
"No sarcasm cara. Your decisions can be pretty shitty at times." Doutzen added seriously.
*******
Kendall checked her messages when she was changing in her dressing room. Whole show had been amazing and they were going to celebrate it that night by going out for dinner, all friends together.
She was extremely glad she had been able to make such amazing friends. In this industry, no one was supportive but this small group of people always stood up for one another. That's why it was so special for Kendall.
She realized she had texts from all family members that were congratulating her. She quickly replied to all of them. Then, there was a knock on her door. "Kendall I swear if we stay here any longer we may sleep here as well. Everyone's gone." Cara spoke in frustration.
"I'm coming! Just a second." Kendall uttered.
"What are you even doing out there?" Cara groaned.
"I'm coming! Be a little patient. Jesus you're just like Mase." Kendall sighed and double checked all her belongings before stepping out.
"Come on girls. We are going to be late!" Taylor's voice called as they exit the building.
"Kendall who are you coming with?" Karlie asked as she got in her car with Taylor sitting beside her.
Douzen was already seated with them.
"I don't know." She felt a bit awkward. "She's coming with me." Cara told Karlie before kendall had a chance to protest. Jourdan and Joan were already at the restaurant. "Okay!" They drove off.
"Come on." Cara got in her car and started the engine. Kendall closed her door and put on her seat belt. They drove off. Lady gaga's Alejandro was on the radio they both sang along with her.
"You sound great!" Kendall complimented.
"I have a little thing with music you know?" Cara shrugged.
"Wow! You're full of surprises!"
"You bet!" Cara continued. "You haven't seen nothing yet."
*******
"Hey babe!" Joan greeted Taylor.
"How are you?" They had just arrived at the restaurant and were enjoying each others company already.
"Where's Cara and Kenny?" Jourdan asked Karlie.
"They're somehow late. We pretty much left together." Karlie realized.
"Come on sit down!" They all giggled noticing they had been standing all the while. Taylor whispered something in karlie's ear getting a kiss on the lips in return.
"You make me sick to my stomach!" Jourdan pretended to vomit, making everyone laugh
.
"You guys are too cute!" Doutzen commented.
"Thanks." Taylor blushed.
"I CAN'T FUCKING BELIEVE YOU CARA!" A very frustrated Kendall told her companion as they walked in together.
"You're such a baby! I did not do anything!" Cara replied back, with a frustrated sigh.
"Cara, we almost crashed seven times do you UNDERSTAND that?!?" Kendall rolled her eyes, finally spotting the table. "We could be dead right now." She muttered to Cara.
"So what? I should've let you drive with no driving licence matching England's system? No!" Cara replied.
"First, I do have an international licence. Second, even if I didn't we'd have a better chance at survival than this." Kendall added.
Jourdan smiled. Cara and cars. No one ever wants to be in a car driven by her because the possibility to come out of it alive is probably 20% if she's in a good mood. 5% if she's mad.
"Hey girls." Cara sighed sitting down.
"What took you guys so long? Im starving!" Karlie commented.
"Well. " Kendall sat down beside Cara. "We almost died. Who gave her a driving lisence?" She frowned.
"Oh please!" Cara protested.
"You fight just like a married couple." Joan commented with a playful smile.
"No we don't." They both said at the same time.
"Hell yes you do." Doutzen agreed.
Both Cara and Kendall blushed at the comment and tried their bests at hiding it. Thankfully, they were successful.
"Kenny haven't you learned by now that letting Cara drive a car you're in is like suffocation suicide?" Taylor asked. Whole table burst out laughing.
"Its not my fault that you all are a bunch of babies!" Cara defended herself. They got down to the task of ordering food.
