  DREAMFUL

      CHAPTER 20

             ...That day Destiny woke up before her alarm went off. She looked at the clock and took a deep breath. It was 6:30 am and it was also the audition result day. It was a situation of 'do or die!...', well, not really, but that's how Destiny liked putting it. Out of hundred models, fifty would be eliminated which meant only fifty girls would be eligible to compete for 'Miss Photogenic'...only the thought of it made Destiny jump...'What if I amn't the ones who are selected!? What would I do? Go back to my bar code scanning job at the mall? Deal with grumpy customers?'.She got up from the bed and opened the window curtains. Early morning sunlight filled her small room. She then went to the shower and got dressed for the day. She even had her gymming classes at nine."Aargh!!! So much to do!", she said to herself as she took the phone to check for new notifs. Ivanna had texted her:

"Good Luck for the result, miss model. I know you're gonna perfectly pass that interview and win a million hearts!*wink*", it read. Destiny smiled and went out of her room where she found Mrs. Decker, reading the newspaper, sipping coffee.

"Dez? You woke up so early?!"

"The nervousness and the excitement won't let me sleep, mom", she replied, filling up a glass with water and sitting beside her mom. The results were supposed to be mailed sharp at 8:00 am and she felt the clock freeze.

"What happened...you look lost?", Mrs. Decker questioned.

"Huh? Oh, nothing, mom, I was just thinking about what if I got eliminated..."

"Why don't you think about what if you're not eliminated?", Mrs. Decker said, keeping the coffee mug on the table.

                                                                ***

 Destiny held her breath as she opened the laptop, while her elder sister, Grace, and Mrs. Decker stood behind her. New mail-right at 8:00 am.

  

       CONGRATULATIONS!, Miss Destiny Decker, that's all they had to read when the three of them squealed together and hugged each other tightly.

"I knew you would make it!", Grace said while her mother kissed her forehead and congratulated her. The trio then went on to read the rest of the mail.

CONGRATULATIONS!, Miss Destiny Decker! You have been shortlisted for the finals of Miss Photogenic, we loved your sense of style. Also to inform you, the photoshoot for all the selected models including you will be held on coming Saturday, be present at 'Starry Studios' at 8:00 am. Makeup, hair, and dressing services would be provided. Thank you!

Soon Destiny's phone started ringing. It was Ivy.

"Hello?"

"Tell me you passed?!"

"I did, Ivy!"

"OMG! Yesss! YOU DID IT!!!! Perfect!", Ivanna shouted in the receiver-so loud, Dez had to distance her ear from her phone. She laughed and said,

"Can you stop shouting, Ivy?"

"Are you out of your mind? My best friend just got selected out of hundred other people and you expect me to not shout!!?". Dez smiled,

"Go on. Shout then!".

After she was done talking to Ivy for good thirty minutes, she had to quickly get ready to go to the gym. She packed her gym bag with a water bottle, stuffed in some energy bars, took a hand towel, and reached there on time.'Oh...I totally forgot to tell Rylee about my selection! She'd be so happy!', Dez thought and called up Rylee while jogging. She was over the moon when she heard Destiny's news.
