My shoot was a success and they said they want to continue working with me. I felt happy inside because forever 21 was my 1st official job that'll keep me stable for awhile. Anyway, my new school was called LA Prep. It was pretty big and had lots of cute boys if you ask me. I had to come in the middle of the school day, at 11, because of my shoot. I looked at my schedule and it said I had to go to my English class. The last place I wanna go to. When I arrived, class already started, so I quietly walked into the room. The teacher looked at me in between her sentence.
"Oh, who are you?" She smiled at me and the class shifted their eyes from the teacher to me.
" I'm Audrey. Audrey Darizae." Darizae is French and is pronounced 'Dare-I-zay'. No matter how hard i tried, my slight southern accent slipped through when said my name. Some students caught on to it and there faces looked a little shocked. The teacher went to the attendance and looked for my name.
" oh yes, yes. Audrey-"
" I go by Drey"
"Ok Drey, well I see your name on here. Im Mrs. Brock, what school did you come from?" She asked as she marked my name.
" I'm sure you never heard if it. I came all the way from Louisiana."
"oh wow that's far. Well, welcome to LA Prep. You can take a seat next to Chresanto. " She pointed to him and my eyes widened. He was one of the cutest boys I ever laid my eyes on. He had a fresh cut with curly locks. His eyes seemed to capture my soul and the way his muscles squeezed his shirt- wait what am I doing? Go sit down Audrey! Everyone was staring at me as I walked to my new seat in the back. I couldn't tell if they were good or bad stares... I sat down and Mrs. Brock continued her lecture. She seemed to be talking about Shakespeare; booorring! I laid the side of my face on the palm of my hand, looking at the clock wishing time would quickly elapse. Then I felt someone tap my shoulder. I looked over and it was Chresanto. I couldn't help but smile when I saw it was him and he did he same back.
"So your name's Drey?"
"Yeah" I turned to him and his face turned to a disturbed or uneasy facial exsperession. "What? Is there something wrong?"
"N-no." he said appologetic. "Its just your eyes. Its so captivating..i-in a good way." He was referring to my green-brown eyes aka my money's makers in modeling.
"Oh..haha thanks" I pulled some hair away from my face and tucked it behind my ear.
"We'll I'm Chresanto, but people call me Roc. Nice to meet you."
"Same here."
"Oh yeah and this is Ray Ray." He pointed to the boy that sat in front of him. The boy turned around and jerked his head up; his way off saying 'wassup'.
"Your really beautiful" Roc complemented and gave me a big smile.
"Thank you" I kept smiling with my sparkling white teeth. They only looked this nice because of my photo shoot; I always got them deep cleaned before photo shoots.
"What are you?"
"What do you mean? Like my ethnicity?"
"Yeah"
" Creole"
"No wonder. Green-brown eyes, long hair, and skin fair." I could've help but laugh at the cheesy pick up line.
"You're a charmer huh?
"Nah, I'm Leo"
"ok" I said like he was crazy as I turned back to Ms.Brock and listened to her go on and in about Shakespeare.

The bell rung and I made my way out the door. I took out my schedule and it said lunch. Only problem was, I have no idea where the caferteria was. Luckily i saw Ray Ray and Roc pass by. They were headed towards the 300 building exit and I ran up behind them. I tapped on Roc's shoulder and he looked back and stopped.
"Hey Roc? Roc right?" I wasnt too sure with his name so I asked.
"Yeah wassup Drey?"
"I'm sorry to bother-"
"Nah its good" ray said.
"Umm wheres the cafeteria?"
"How bout I escort you and you sit with us?" Roc smoothly said, looking into eyes, making an irresistible face. I couldnt help but blush. I pulled some hair from the back of my head to the front and said yes. We walked until we saw thousands of kids in lines for Subway, Student Store, McDonalds, Panda Exspress, anything you could imagine, they had a vendor for.
"Wow thats alot of people."
"Ehh, the wait is that bad for us." Ray said.
"What do you mean?"
"You'll see" Roc answered.
"Uh..ok" I said going along with whatever.
Roc and Ray cut through tons of people, me following behind. They walked towards the McDonalds vendor and passed by at least 50 people waiting in line and cut to the front. My eyebrows furrowed and my face flushed with confusion.
"Drey?" Roc called.
"Yeah?"
"Do you want anything?"
"No, Im good, thanks for asking."
A few minutes later, Ray and Roc came back with McDonalds bags and started towards a big group in the quad. Once they got there, they greeted their friends and introduced me to lots of different girls and guys. It had to have been at least 25 people in one group mostly football players, some cheerleaders, and random girls. We branched off into smaller groups and you could tell who was closer friends than others, evident because Ray and Roc always seemed to talk to each other more than the others. There was seats reserved for Ray and Roc from their friends, and they sat down.
"Oh sorry. Here. You can have my seat." Roc stood and let me sit in his seat. I gave him a smile and he winked at me.
"Thank you"
"Your not hungry?" Ray asked.
"Oh..uh..I cant eat McDonalds."
"Why not?"
"Well actually im a model and I have to stay on a strict diet and McDonalds is not in my favor." Ray and Roc exchanged looks and looked back at me. "What?"
"A model?" Roc asked.
"Yeah. I just had a photoshoot today."
"Ohhh"
"Thats why I moved from Louisiana, to here. I got a gig with Forever 21."
"Impressive." Roc replied with a satisfied look on his face.
"Thanks"
"What other things have you been in?" Ray asked, picking up a fry.
I sighed thinking back to all the gigs I've done ever since I was 14. "Umm...I did Target when I was about 14..Aeropostale 2 years ago...a few things for Sears..and now Forever 21. I've done more but I can't remember."
"That's really, really cool. Have you ever auditioned to be an Victoria Secret angel?" Roc asked, nonchalantly tryna be funny. Ray almost choked on his fries and I was taken back for a moment. I laughed a little bit and prepared myself to answer the question.
I rubbed the side of my face, giggling to myself. "Actually" everyone stopped and paused like this was gonna be the most surprising thing to hear. "Actually, I was thinking about auditioning-" the silence broke when they died of laughter. It was actually kind of funny because we all knew Roc was kidding and for me to say yes, was a slap in the face. I can't blame them though. How many times have you heard "I'm gonna audition to be a Victoria Secret angel?" But they didn't let me finish! " N-n-no! Not now!" I said nearly yelling on top of their laughter. "I was gonna say, in a few years!"
"Why not just now? How old are you?" asked Roc.
"18. Don't ask; my parents put me in school late."
"Shoot, I'll drive you to the audition!" Ray and Roc chucked once more.
"Shut up!" I playfully slapped him on the arm.
"I'm just playin' Drey!"
"Yeah right! I bet you can't wait to see me in some lingerie! Little nasty!"
"I'm not the one who said they'd audition to be a Victoria secret angel!" I was silent..he had a point.."exactly!"
"Oh, hush up!"
After our Victoria Secret Angel topic, I got to know them a little better. We talked about school, our favorite colors, hobbies, etc. I even learned that Roc was the Quarter Back for LA Prep's varsity football team. The moment I heard that, my eyes become Las Vegas machine slots; I was lucky to land all 7's. In this case, I've managed to get not only the cutest boy I've seen all day, but the quarter back..on my first day! Ray on the other hand, is something else. This kid is hilarious and let me tell you, he'll find any possible way to pull a prank on you. We got on the subject of family, and he said one time his cousin was trying to put in her weave. He offered to help and told her not to look in the mirror because I'd be a surprise. My first instinct was why would you let this boy help you with your weave...hair at that! When he was gluing it in, instead of using the dark brown Indian hair, he put in dyed neon pink Indian hair. He said when he showed her how it looked in the end, she chased after him with a bat all the way from their apartment to a Walmart a few blocks away. Then he had to spend all of his saved money and go buy new hair for her; all $545 worth of hair. Tsk, tsk!
After school-2:34 p.m
I stood by the curb waiting for my mom to pick me up. That's when I heard someone call my name, walking closer to me. I turned and saw Roc. He had a fitted v-neck, basketball shorts, his backpack and some keys. I'm assuming they were to his car.
"Wassup Drey?"
"I'm just waiting for my mom to pick me up."
"Don't you have your license?"
"I do but I never got my car because of some things..." I was referring to my constant traveling because of my modeling, but mostly because my parents where getting a divorce so life was too stressful to get me a car.
"Ohh ok-"
"Where are you going to your car?"
"Yeah I need to get my football bag for practice, then I saw you so I just stopped to talk to the Victoria secret model. I mean what guy wouldn't want to talk to a model? " I gigged.
"You just won't let that go, will you?"
"Do you understand the definition of a joke?"
"Whatever-" the vibration from my phone interrupted me. It was a text from my mom reading "I'm driving up".
I looked up the street and saw my mom's 2010 Honda accord coming, only a few yards away. "Well, I'll talk to you later bye." I waved at him as I reached for the car door. He grabbed the handle before I could and opened it for me. I traced my eyes from his hand to his face that had little smile on his face.
"Thank you!"
"Any time!"
I stepped in and he closed the door behind me. I waved him bye and gave me a salute with 2 fingers with a little wink. And I couldn't help but smile to myself the whole way back to the hotel room.
