CHAPTER 2: I Dare You

"Katherina, I want you to be here pronto!" My manager, Flora, said over the phone.

"Yes, I'm on my way home. I need a shower, I'll be quick!" I told her and ended the call. 

Today was like a nightmare. I'm officially Cole Harrison's girlfriend and words travel fast. Everyone hates me now because no one ever get to be his girlfriend. I'm his first girlfriend, I think. 

Since my bestfriends are not from the same school, I can't tell them right away. Afrer school, I have a photoshoot with Elle, one of my bestfriends. 

I quickly went home taking off my wig and braces. I took a shower quickly and wore my tight black dress. Flora picked me up from my house and we went straight to the photoshoot studio. 

"Katherina! My lovely Katherina!" Rick, my favorite photographer, said as he hugged me. 

"Hey Rick, how are you?" I asked as I pulled away. 

"Katieeee!" Elle squealed and I hugged her tightly.

"I miss you!" She said.

"I miss you more! I have something to tell you!" I said and she nodded. 

"Okay, my beautiful models! Please change first and we can talk later!" Rick said and we both changed into dresses. It's the newest collection from WILLOW. I love the brand and I can't wait to go through all the dresses. 

We focused working first and after 3 hours, we're done. I told Flora that I'll be hanging out with Elle. 

"Katherina, don't forget that you'll be walking on the Victoria Secret in New York. The fitting will be next week and you too Elle." Flora said and I turned to Elle squealing. 

"So.. what's up? Should we get coffee?" Elle asked. 

"Yes, let's go get coffee." We both changed into our comfortable clothes and walked out from the studio. 

"I can't wait to hear your juicy story, will I scream in shock?" She asked and I chuckled.

"I think you'll faint." 

"That bad?"

"I don't think it's a good news." I said.

"Hello, are you.. Elle and Katherina?" I turned to see a little girl, I think she's 12 or maybe 13. 

"Yes."

"Can I take a photo with you both?" She asked and I looked up to see her mom giving me and Elle a big smile. I nodded and she stood between me and Elle. We took some pictures and her mom told me that she wants to be a model and I wished her goodluck. 

Elle and I continued our walk to the coffee shop a block away. She told me about a guy that she's been hanging out recently. We walked into the coffee shop and ordered some coffee and bread. 

"Spill the tea, K." 

"I was dared by the bullies." I said and Elle raised her eyebrows.

"And then.."

"The dare was to ask Cole Harrison to be my boyfriend." Elle looked at me suspiciously.

"Did he embarass you?" 

"He accepted and apparently I have a boyfriend now." I said and Elle looked at me completely shocked and speechless.

"Cole Harrison? The one and only heir of Harrison Hotel and Harrison Security Company?" She asked in a high tone.

"Yes." I sighed and I thanked the waiter for deliver our coffees.

"And then.." 

"And then what?" I looked at her confused.

"How's the relationship?" She asked.

"The dare was today and I don't even have his.. number." 

"You've got to be kidding me." Elle face palmed herself and suddenly my other phone beeps. I grabbed it from my bag.

"Is that you other phone?"

"Yes." I said as I opened it. My eyes widen because it's a text message from Cole. 

Hello girlfriend, help me with my project tomorrow?

-Your boyfriend, Cole. 

I read it again and again in horror. Did he just text me? How did he get my number? Is he trying to make me tutor him? But I'm not smart, I'm not the best at studying. 

"Just do it." Elle said and I looked at her glaring. She's not helping at all. 

"Elle, I'm lost here and you're not helping!"

"Just do it, I don't think it's a bad thing. You're just helping him.. with his.. project." 

"No!"

"Just move to another school!" She hissed as she  grabbed my phone. 

"We have 5 months left." I said and Elle grinned. Suddenly my main phone rang and it's my dad.

"Hey dad."

"Cassie, me and your mom will be flying to San Fransisco to visit your grandparents. We'll be home by next week. Stay with your siblings okay?" He said.

"Okay. But why suddenly go to New York?"

"Granddad is a little bit sick, we want to check on him." 

"Oh okay. I'll go to San Fransisco after I do my fittings in New York." I said as I grabbed my other phone to text Flora. 

"Oh okay. We'll stay longer then.." 

"Okay dad." He ended the call and I turned to Elle.

"Won't go to school next week." I smirked and she rolled her eyes.

"Still we're going to a fitting." 

"Right."

"Is everything okay?" Elle asked as she grabbed her cup of coffee.

"Granddad is a little bit sick, they're going to check on him." 

"Hope everythings okay." Elle said.

"Thanks!" 

"How about Cole?"

"Let's just ignore his text." I said and Elle looked at her watch.

"I have to go, my dad's birthday today. I'll catch with you next week?" I gave her a hug and she left first. 

Tomorrow will be a great day.
