Bloom
Chapter 1 - An opportunity
*ring ring*
'Ugh...what the hell...' I muttered as I reached for my phone at the end table next
to my bed. It was 7 in the morning. Who the heck would be calling me? I pretty
much had no social life.
'Hello?' I said, there was no answer for 5 seconds until a lady with a high voice
said, 'Hey! Are you Lila? If you are, I have a surprise for you!'. I grunted and said
that I was Lila. The lady sounded really excited and said that she wanted me to
meet at the Starbucks down the street later at noon. When I hung up the phone I
was really confused. After 20 minutes of thinking who the hell that was and why
she was calling me I remembered that a couple weeks ago I signed up to win a
chance to make clothes for models and such. If you read the 'about me' page,
you would know that I wanted to be a fashion designer. It was a good
opportunity so I signed up.
After 3 more hours of sleeping, I got up and made myself some coffee and
pancakes. 'Yum...' I mumbled to myself as I sat down at my dining table to eat
and drink my pancakes and coffee. I took my time eating and finally pushed
myself to go to that meeting with the annoying lady.
I went into my bedroom and got some casual clothes on. This is what I wore:

I went into my bathroom and got on some makeup and did my hair (in polyvore
outfit). I was pretty impressed on how I looked.
I got into my yellow slug bug, and drove to the Starbucks down the street. I
hoped this was good news. I would be a little bummed if she does this to
everyone. It would be pretty cool If I got a chance to make clothes for models
and such. I was excited.
When I walked into the Starbucks, I was clueless where to go because I didn't
know what the lady looked like. I looked around and saw a girl sitting at a table
at the corner of the cafe motioning me to sit down. I smiled and walked over. I
sat down and asked, 'Are you the lady who is doing the fashion thing?'. The girl
nodded and grinned at me. I was wondering how she knew what I looked like
but than I remember I emailed her once and sent her a picture of me.
'So how has your day been? Just in case you forgot, my name is Chelsea.' She
says. I nod and say, 'My day has been good.' She gives me a thumbs up and
gets something from her big bag of things on the side of her chair. She pulls out
a portfolio and goes through it. I awkwardly sit there for about a minute and she
starts talking again.
'I have some good news for you, Lila. You won the chance.' She says like it's
the most normalest thing in the world. I gasp and other people stare for a
second and go back to their coffee.
'Uh...thank you!' I say, trying not to sound to excited. She smiles and nodes. 'So,
when's it going to start?' I ask. She goes through some papers and pulls out
one that has a lot of words.
'Haha, I hope this doesn't sound to boring but...*reads paper* you are going to
do some fashion things with...*more reading* One Direction?' She says.
My eyes widen and my heart stops. She looks at me like I'm a alien or
something and giggles. 'Oh my god...I can't believe this!' I say to her, she smiles
and laughs and looks down at her papers. 'Thank you so so so much! I know it
sounds dumb but I'm a huge fan of One Direction.' I say, really trying to control
my excited - ness. 'I have to admit, I'm a fan too.' Chelsea says and gives me a
high five. 'Your welcome, Lila.' She says, and gets up to get a coffee for her and
me.
I sit at the table while Chelsea gets the coffee. I'm shaking from whats
happening and I feel like i'm in a dream. I pinch my self really hard and yelp and
other people stare. I chuckle to myself and daydream about what I'm going to
say to Harry. 'Hey, I'm Lila. I'm so excited to meet you.' I thought of saying. I don't
want to be serious or anything..I want to be a fun wardrobe person...or whatever
you call those people. I chuckled to myself again about how the boys of One
Direction don't where blazers or bowties or really fancy clothes anymore at
concerts. They just wear the cleanest shirt they can find, and some random
pants and shoes.
Chelsea came back with two cold coffee's that looked delicious. 'I hope those
coffee's weren't too expensive...' I said to Chelsea. 'No, It's fine. I got a gift card
so I got one of the coffee's free. And, you're my new client. You deserve a free
coffee!' She says. We laugh for a couple minutes and continue to talk and drink
our yummy coffee's.
After an hour, I said goodbye to Chelsea and got her phone number and email
so we can go out sometime again. She seemed like a pretty nice girl. I drove
home smiling and really happy about all that happened today. I text Chelsea
later that day asking when it starts and she says it starts next month. I was
relived it wasn't next week or something. I texted her thank you 20 times until I
realized she's probably getting annoyed with that and I stopped.
The rest of the day I was so happy. I was going to meet One Direction! I hope
they don't think of me of just 'the clothes girl'. I was so excited words can't
explain.
