Max's POV:

"So I am guessing that you are a fitness guru?" Tanner asked and I laughed.

"Sort of," I said before a man walked up to me. He was wearing an extremely expensive suit. I have a feeling that my car is the same price and that is saying something.

"Maxine Evans?" he asked, "Greg Brier, head of the Fitness Daily magazine. I talked to Tom and I want you to be the cover of our new issue."

"Really? Fitness Daily? That is my favorite magazine," I exclaimed.

"So does that mean that you agree to doing it?" Greg asked with a smile.

"Of course and call me Max, Mr. Brier," I said.

"Splendid! Here is my card and can you make it tomorrow? I know this is a little short notice, but we couldn't reach you any earlier," Greg asked.

"Tomorrow sounds good, can I bring my friend?" I asked.

"Yes, just tell your name to the security guard and he will let you in," Greg said before walking off.

"Wow Max," Tanner said, "Being offered to be on the cover of Fitness Daily is huge."

"I know right! I just don't know why he wants me. I am not famous or anything," I said shyly.

"Well let's see, you are a fitness person, you are pretty, and you have a fitness body. Three requirements needed in a Fitness Daily cover model. I guess being famous is a plus," Tanner explained and I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah I know, but why me? There are so many other girls out there," I said.

"Well I am guessing that you just stand out from those other girls," Tanner said and I nodded. I guess he had a point.

"But seriously Tanner, no one likes a know it all," I mocked.

"I should be saying that to you Miss I have a degree in fitness and business in only four years," Tanner said and I laughed.

"I am guessing Tom told you?" I asked chuckling.

"He likes to brag about you, let's say that," Tanner said.

"So do you actually workout here?" I asked.

"Yeah, me working here means that I don't have to pay the monthly membership fee," Tanner said.

"Mine is free," I added.

"Of course it is," Tanner said rolling his eyes.

"What is that supposed to mean?" I asked defensively.

"Well Tom is your uncle after all," Tanner said, "Family discounts. Especially when you are related to the owner."

"Max!" Mom shouted and I walked downstairs and saw her on the phone.

"Yep Mom?" I asked.

"Fitness Daily Magazine wants to talk to you," Mom said handing me the phone.

"Hello?" I said.

"Max, I am here to give you the details on the photo shoot," Greg said.

"Oh how did you get the house phone?" I asked.

"I asked Tom," Greg said.

"Why didn't you call my phone then?" I asked.

"Well this was what Tom gave me," Greg said.

"Well I can give you my phone number," I said.

"That would be great," Greg said and I gave him my phone number, "So the photo shoot will be taking place at Central Park. We are reserving an area of the park for the photo shoot. I need you to be there at 10 o'clock."

"Sounds good," I said.

"I can text you the address alright?" he asked.

"Yep," I said.

"See you tomorrow Max," Greg said and hung up.

"I know you were listening Mom," I said laughing.

"Well I couldn't just not listen. I can't believe that you are modeling for Fitness Daily! The cover model!" Mom exclaimed and I chuckled.

"Well they asked me today at the party," I said.

"That's great honey! I am so proud of you," Mom gushed, "So when are you starting your training for managing the gym?"

"I don't know Mom, I am still working at the café and stuff, so I am not sure," I said.

"Well Tom says that he will give it to you when he gets older, but I still think that he should teach you the basics," Mom said.

"Well you can tell him that," I said before walking upstairs, "He still wants his gym Mom."

The next day, Alex came along with me to the photo shoot.

"Am I as excited as you are?" Alex asked and I laughed.

"Probably more," I said.

"I find that hard to believe Max, you are in love with Fitness Daily," Alex said.

"True, but you are more excited than I am," I said. Soon we got to the park and walked over to the reserved spot.

"Maxine Evans," I said to the security guard.

"The model?" the guard asked and I nodded.

"This is my friend Alex," I said and the guard nodded.

"Come in," he said opening the gate. We walked inside and went over to Greg.

"Ah Max, good to see you," Greg said and pointed to the tent, "There is your dressing room where you will be wearing Razor Fitness Wear."

"Okay," I said walking over to the tent. I went inside and was greeted by woman in her thirties.

"You must be Maxine, I am Hailey, your dresser," Hailey said.

"Nice to meet you Hailey, this is Alex my best friend," I said gesturing to Alex.

"Nice to meet you Alex," Hailey said.

"Likewise," Alex answered.

"This is what you will be wearing," Hailey said holding up a pink sports bra and black shorts.

"Cool," I said and went in the changing room to change into the outfit. Soon I came out and Hailey started curling my hair and putting on my makeup.

"Wow, you look gorgeous. Probably the prettiest model I have worked on," Hailey bubbled and I blushed.

"Thanks," I said and Hailey handed me pink boxing gloves. I put them on and Hailey studied me.

"They picked the perfect person, the sports bra shows your abs and the shorts show your long legs," Hailey complimented, "Now go out there and have fun!" I laughed and thanked Hailey before going to where the pictures were going to be taken.

"Max! You look amazing darling, this is Mason Donovan, he is going to pose with you in your information page," Greg said.

"Hi I am Mason," Mason said holding out his hand. Mason Donovan is like the most popular and hot model.

"I am Max," I said shaking his hand.

"I am Alex, Max's best friend," Alex said.

"Nice to meet you Alex," Mason said.

"Well can we start the photo shoot? I don't want to lose this perfect lightning," Greg said and soon I was on the fountain posing, "Okay Max, now pretend that you are punching something." I did what Greg told and I heard a few snaps.

"Now I want you to come over to the punching bag and stay in a kick position," Greg said.

"Like my foot on the bag?" I asked.

"Yes," Greg said and I got my stance ready to kick and kicked the bag hearing some snaps, "Perfect Max!"

"What's next?" I asked Greg.

"I want Mason in the next shot," Greg said and Mason walked over to me.

"What is going to happen in the picture?" Mason asked.

"Well I want you two to stand back to back to each other. Stand between the two punching bags so it looks like you two are training," Greg said and we both did what he told. After a couple more poses, I was to go back to the tent and change into the next outfit.

"Here Max," Hailey said and I nodded. It was a pair of dark wash jeans with a white shirt and a black motorcycle jacket.

"Ooh, this is more of my style," I said and Hailey chuckled.

"I am guessing that you ride a motorcycle?" Hailey asked and I nodded.

"Yep I do," I said.

"You will look so natural in the next shots then," Hailey smiled and I went into the dressing room to change. Soon Hailey fixed my makeup and braided my hair into a side fishtail.

"You look gorgeous Max!" Alex complimented when I was done.

"Thanks Alex thanks Hailey. Your work is amazing," I gushed.

"Now go out there and show whose boss of motorcycles," Hailey exclaimed and I laughed.

"See you later Hailey," I said before walking over to Greg. It turns out there was a motorcycle. There were two actually, a white one and a black one.

"Alright you two, Max get on the white one and Mason get on the black one," Greg said and we did as we were told, "Now put on your helmets and pretend that you are riding the motorcycle." We took a couple more shots before Greg had his brilliant moment.
