Jaya

I walked around the seat, walking towards a confused and very shocked Dylan,

"Hey, what are you doing here?" I asks, as I stood in front of Dylan,

His eyes frantically look around as he bit his lower lip, while awkwardly chuckling, "me? What am I doing here? What exactly am I doing here?" He says the last question more to himself. What's wrong with him...?

"Why are you acting weird and what's with your clothes," I lean closer, tilting my head, "are you wearing makeup?"

Dylan was dressed really nice in a casual/smart outfit, while his dirty blonde hair was nicely parted and styled. Dylan takes a few steps back, "I was experimenting with makeup today, what do you think? Does it look nice?"

I look at him confused but still nod, "I mean yeah it looks good, looks really natural...You haven't told me why you're here?"

His eyes widen, "I didn't?"

I give him a blank look and nod, "No, you didn't?"

His face suddenly lights up, "I'm here to deliver soap! That's what they're modelling today," he breathes a sigh of relief,

?

I slowly nod at his overly excited behaviour, "that's great, your soap company must be big. What is-"

Before I could finish my sentence, I get cut off as someone calls my name, "Jaya?"

I turn around to the voice, to find Grace staring between me and Dylan while holding a bunch of papers in her hand.

"L-" she was about to say something else but cuts herself off and pulls a confused face as her brows furrow, staring at something behind me,

I follow her eyes, only to find Dylan frantically waving his hands at her but quickly puts them down when he notices me staring and gives me a smile.

"I'll see you around Jaya, I need to, eh...Get the soap," with that Dylan runs back the way he had come from before, leaving not only me but also Grace confused, who whispers to herself, "soap?"

She rolls her eyes and shakes her head, "anyways, why don't you sit down Jaya, I'll let you know what you'll be doing today,"

I nod and take a seat beside her on the sofa and across me was still sat the model, who was staring at me in amusement and looked as if he was holding back his laughter. What's his problem?

"Okay so, you'll be assisting Ki-Nam, who goes by Ki," she points at the beautiful Asian man sitting across from me, so that's his name. He gives me small nod and Grace continues, "you don't really have to do much, you're mostly here to have an insight into a modelling agency and if it's something you want to pursue in the future, so we don't want to scare you away just yet," she finishes with a little laugh, I also give a fake laugh of my own,

'Insight of modelling agency'...Yep, that's why I'm here...

She continues, "even though I'm your supervisor today, Ki will be the one who'll kinda be giving you things to do, I'll also give you something to do if you look too bored to me. Ah and break is at 3:30, that's all from me, I'll be around so if you need anything just let me know, good luck," she pats my shoulder and stands up, getting back to her work.

I look across from me, to find Ki already staring at me, I awkwardly fidget in my seat, my ears picking up the chaos around me,

"Wheres Elliot?"

"The shoots ready, where has he disappeared!?"

"Someone go look for him please,"

So some guy has gone missing, wait... Another model?

Ignoring the chaos behind me, I focus on Ki, "So...when do you have a shoot?"

He suddenly smiles, "I have a quick one at 4:00 and then one at 6,"

"6! That's when I finish!" I quickly cover my mouth, realising that I was too loud.

He laughs, "I know," they probably did this on purpose, so I wouldn't mess anything up.

"Elliot! The shoots ready where were you?" I hear someone say, causing me to turn my head around, they found him.

Instead, I find Dylan, holding something square in his hand, once he notices me staring he holds up the square thing in his hand, must be the soap, I smile and put my thumbs up at him, turning back to Ki.

"Do you know Elliot?" He suddenly asks,

I give him a confused look and shake my head, "huh? No, I don't,"

He looks amused, "ah, who's that guy then?"

A smile makes its way up to my face, "ahh, that's my friend, Dylan, he works at the soap company," great guy!

The laugh he looked like he was holding back for so long finally escaped, his sudden burst of laughter scared me as he threw his head back, catching the attention of a few people near us, staring at the model who was laughing like a mad man.

"Are you okay? Why are you laughing?" I ask, genuine confused.

He finally stops a little, "sorry, I suddenly remembered a really funny joke," now? Mid-conversation? Someone help this guy...

I give me a weird look and just slowly nod...

.

.

"Alright shoots ready," some guy informed as he stood in the middle of me and Ki, Ki puts his drink down and stands up, He looks down at me, "you coming?" , I spring up and nod, following behind him.

He stops in front of the white drop was surrounded by people and cameras, suddenly I notice Dylan in middle of the drop, fixing his jacket, I stare at him confused.

His eyes suddenly find mines and widen, he stops and frantically starts searching for something, while scratching his head, "Damn it, I'm sure I dropped it here somewhere," he says,

What is he doing?

He shakes his head and walks towards me while talking to himself, "never mind, can't find it," he stops in front of me and smiles, "hello again,"

I return his smile but still a little suspicious about his behaviour, I notice that everyone else was giving Dylan a weird look as they shake their heads at him and continue with whatever they were doing,

Awh poor Dylan, they look kinda annoyed, so I give everyone an apologetic nod and take a hold of Dylan's arm, pulling him away to stand behind me.

"What were you looking for?" I ask, while looking up at him.

He looks down and frowns, "Dropped my lucky soap," what the...I think this guy has a soap obsession.

"Okay we're ready for you Ki," I hear someone say, Ki walks up to the white drop, someone quickly coming to do some last finishes as they check his make up and outfit.

Cameras start flashing as he starts posing, looking all cool and gorgeous, damn my eyes are blessed.

I stare at Ki like he was the last slice of pizza but suddenly it was dark, I thought the lights went out, but from the pressure on my face, I could tell someone was covering my eyes,

"You're drooling," Dylan whispers in my ear, his hand still over my eyes, blocking my sight,

I take a hold of his hand, trying to pull it down, "let me appreciate the beauty," I whisper back,

Suddenly I'm turned around, he drops his hand from my eyes and looks down at me, "well appreciate it then," he says, while smirking. Damn it!

I give him a blank look despite, completely hiding the fact that my heart was beating out my chest and was ready to be severed on a platter for this dork.

I shake my head and turn back around, earning a groan from Dylan.

I try ignoring his presence, which was kinda hard since he kept trying to get my attention, finally, he gave up and just stood behind me, wrapping his arms around my shoulder and resting his head on the top of my head. Which was not uncomfortable at all...okay it kinda felt warm.

But this literally felt like the longest half an hour of my life, I couldn't even watch my actual imaginary boyfriend because my fake boyfriend was being an annoying little chicken.

Damn, I'm such a hoe...

But what was definitely weird, is the shocked and confused stares we were getting from everyone that wasn't to focused on the shoot, they would glance back at us, whispering amongst themselves.  What's their problem?

I thought this was bad, but damn it gets worse.
