While the people waited, they filled the form that was given to them. The form itself was long and demanding skills that most of them didn�t have. A few even left after reading the first page of questions.
An hour later, the person who took charge of the event was about to close when someone came. He didn�t look up from what he was doing. He only said over his shoulder that he didn�t take any pictures.
�That�s okay sir, I just wanted to give you the form,� replied a female voice.
She placed the form on the top and the man grabbed it and was about to give it back to her when he saw the ID picture. He flipped to the page where the wanted skills were listed and the past events from the person could be found. He went through them and looked up.
�Why didn�t you go to the beauty pageant?�
�I wanted to study in College,� she replied before turning around.
�Did you change your mind now?�
�Not really, I just thought I�d try, but don�t take me just because of who I am� Look at the people that showed up first and if you didn�t find any, then call me,� Mary said before leaving the mall.
She opened her dorm door and Tina ran to her and asked her a lot of questions without stopping. Mary walked in without answering the questions. She grabbed her things and went to take a shower.
For a week, Mary ignored her friends and didn�t say a thing. She hided in the library and went to her door late, too tired to speak with Tina. Amanda cornered Mary on the second week in the hall and just looked dead in Mary�s eyes without speaking.
�What do you want?� Mary asked after a few seconds.
�Why are you ignoring us?� Amanda asked placing a hand on Mary�s shoulder.
�Because, I know what�s going to happen and� I don�t want to hurt their feelings,� Mary said quietly.
�You went for the Von Dutch model search didn�t you?� Amanda asked with a smile on her face.
�Kinda�� Mary whispered.
�What do you mean by �kinda�?� she asked looking down to see her friend�s face.
Mary sighted and looked up. She bit her bottom lip trying not to cry.
�I waited until they were done� I gave him my resume with the file they gave out and told them to contact me if they haven�t found no one from all the people that showed up,� she replied before looking down again.
�Yes and� what�s so wrong about it?� Amanda asked not understanding what the problem was.
�He looked at it and looked at me and I knew it that, no matter what, I already got the place. I just hoped they would look at all the files and take from it the number they needed and they�d call me to say that I didn�t make it. You know? I just, everyone�s gonna hate me because I got the part right then. They are going to compare every file to mine. They are going to say that I did this, that, and those and this candidate did just this. They already know who they want, they are just taking the time so that the candidates think they are� but they aren�t, they are just looking at it to make sure I�m the best,� Mary told her friend and started to cry.
Amanda understood what her friend said and took her in her arms and let her cry. Thankfully, no students were in the school anymore.
Mary calmed down and they both walked to the campus where Mary stayed. She checked her mail and dropped the last letter as if it burned her hands. She looked up at Amanda as if she just saw a ghost.
�Oh God, they already, they couldn�t of looked through all those files so quickly,� Mary said panicking.
Amanda picked the letter up and opened it. She read it quickly and looked up at her friend. She smiled and hugged her. Mary didn�t understand why her friend was so happy. Jamie, Jeanette and Tina walked into the building then and saw the two girls hugging each other.
�What�s going on?� Jamie asked.
�Mary got the part!� Amanda said after she pulled away from her friend.
�She�s Von Dutch�s new model? Oh my God!� Jeanette screamed before running to her friend and hugging her tightly.
The three other girls followed Jeanette and they did a group hug.
