Modeling

[Selina Taylor]

    Selina had signed up on Kiara’s blog to become one of her models and was currently waiting at the fountain in the courtyard to meet up with her. She had taken her time with her winged eyeliner and red lipstick this morning and her gold hoop earrings looked pretty with her black jacket. The red shirt she wore underneath it was striking against her black jeans and she thought she looked pretty damn good for getting most of her outfit form a thrift store. She’d only been able to afford second-hand clothes her whole life, so she’d gotten relatively good at searching through and finding cheap things that still looked fashionable.


    Selina had seen the pictures Kiara Kennedy had taken of herself, so she knew what to look for. Selina had shown up a bit early, but she didn’t mind. Punctuality was one of the many things her mom had trained into her. After all, she couldn’t control being poor, but she could control how she acted and when she showed up. Her ability to be polite only extended to a rare few people nowadays, but her tendency to show up early hadn’t left her.


    When Selina saw Kiara she waved at the beautiful woman and stepped forward, “Hi, I’m Selina. I signed up to be a model for you,” she explained. It wasn’t likely that Kiara had forgotten, but still, Selina figured she might as well introduce herself properly.

Kiara walked down with one of her duplicates, she had all the supplies that she would need in one hand and a cooler carried by K twp. She really didn’t want to freak out Selina so she resolved to explain to her when she got there. She just didn’t want to carry all the stuff in two trip or be unprofessional and make Selina carry things. She spotted the girl by the fountain and skipped over, her duplicate following behind her.

”Hey Selina, it’s nice to meet you I’m Kiara. Uhm just a heads up...I can duplicate myself and K two is the one in green tank top and she’s my assistant but she goes by Kayla and swears she’s my twin” She explained as her “twin” walked up to them. It was the only logical way to explain that they were both real and a way for her to remember she was the real one and K two was the fake. She waited for Selina to say whether or not she wanted to go through with it, just incase it was weird for her.

“So I was thinking that you could just do you, i think that people are perfect the way they are and you are obviously very pretty” She said smiling as K two starting setting things up, after she was finished at least setting up the stand the copy turned to Selina and smiled “Hey i’m Kayla”. Kiara just rolled her eyes and muttered under her breath.

    Kiara was as lovely as the pictures had made her out to be and Selina was slightly surprised to see what looked like her twin sister following along behind her. Selina’s eyes widened when she heard about the duplicate, but she’d learned quite a bit about various people’s powers in the past few years, so it didn’t surprise her too much. “Well, it’s a pleasure to meet you both,” Selina assured Kiara. “Being able to duplicate beauty is an art in and of itself I should think,” she added with a smile.


    Selina grinned at the compliment, “Are there any poses you’d like me to try? I even could take a few things off as well if you like,” she teased. “Sincerely though, I’ve never really done this sort of thing before unless it was my mother taking the pictures,” she offered with a slightly apologetic smile. Selina turned to Kayla as she introduced herself and nodded, “Nice to meet you, as well Kayla.” Selina was almost used to the idea by now, so long as she thought of Kayla as being a twin sister. The clone thing still made her head hurt a bit, but he would focus on that later is it came back to her.

Kiara smiled and flushed a little, yeah she was susceptible to flirting but at the same time she was going to be professional about this. "Why thank you, So I can already see that you'll be very photogenic" She studying the girl as she placed her Camera on the tripod as as she tied up her hair into a ponytail.

"Just do what you feel comfortable with, or whatever suits your fancy, In all actuality I just like taking pictures of beautiful people" She smiled at the other half of the question "Maybe we should save that for a private photoshoot" Giving Selina a wink she bit her lip trying to think about where to to start.

"Well how about we start with attitude like some girl in the club just pushed on to your property and you're about mess her up" She laughed a bit at that as she adjusted her camera to the lighting around them. "likewise" Kayla said sitting down on a bench waiting for her services to be needed.

    Selina smiled at Kiara, “Thank you.” A few people had complimented her before, but Kiara’s rather matter-of-fact statements were somehow more flattering. “Sounds good to me,” Selina replied with a smirk in response to the idea of a private shoot.


    Selina then nodded to Kayla in acknowledgement before she thought of how to give Kiara what she wanted. Remembering her first time meeting Lucy helped, and her fiery glare was aimed at the camera this time instead of at the girl she’d come to… not quite respect… actually Selina still had no idea how she felt about Lucy, but she used the high emotions from their first meeting in the club to help her here.


    Selina swore at the camera as if it was the girl who’d offended her and her posture turned menacing as she advanced slightly. This was actually quite fun, and the people giving her funny looks for cussing out and posturing at a camera were completely ignored. Selina glanced up to Kiara, “Alright so far?” she asked. “Anything you want different?”

[Kiara Kennedy]

“No need to thank me, it’s true” She said smiling at the other girl. She raised an eyebrow at Selina’s response and smirked ”I'll keep that in mind” The idea was incredibly intriguing even if she wasn’t that type of photographer or actually….she hadn'tever taken that type of photo unless it was of herself because she was bored. They were almost always deleted though she might have one to two of her in her in underwear laying around.

Then the shoot started and she loved the attitude and energy she was getting from Selina, it was really hard to boss herself around if especially if she was bored or feeling playful, her copies mimicked that. “Perfect actually, and now that the theme is out of the way you can just goof around. I’m sure anything you offer up will be more than awesome” She said excitedly. She wasn’t the type of photographer that wanted strict poses or people to look a certain way. She actually didn’t even care if they came looking a mess, as long as they realized she would take photos. She could always say it was some artistic looking theme or some lie.

“So what are you going to school for..like your major?” Kiara asked, trying to start a conversation as she clicked away with her camera. She knew that some people were more relaxed with conversation and it made the pictures more natural. Not that Selina needed any help but she was actually curious about the other girl.

    Selina smiled at Kiara and nodded to her. “I charge for those types of photos, though,” she teased with a wink. Selina hadn’t really ever taken selfies before, but she knew of them. She certainly wasn’t photo shy, but she also had a really cheap phone that took crappy pictures anyway. She also knew that she couldn’t take that type of picture nearly as well as the woman in front of her.


    Selina laughed and nodded, “Alright,” she agreed as she tried to think of something she could do. She made her way over to the fountain and sat on the edge of it while she thought about Kiara’s question. “I honestly haven’t decided yet,” she replied while posing for the camera as if she were deep in thought. “I’m trying to figure out both what I’m good at, and what brings in the money, you know?” she offered as she did a silly face and jazz hands.


    “And you? Do you know what you’re majoring in?” Selina asked as she walked along the edge of the fountain, as if she were a tight rope walker up high. She’d honestly come to college because it was free and Katerina had wanted to give Selina the opportunities that she’d never had. Selina had also originally thought to major in Spanish and English to become a translator or something, but now she wasn’t so sure.
