"Celine! Celine, wait!" Nathaniel calls for his girlfriend as he and Marc ran after her.

"Celine!" Marc grabs Celine's wrist after she ran out of the school, stopping her from going down the steps. "What happened? What did that b*tch Lila say to you?"

Celine sniffles, wiping her tears. "She knows that we're in a relationship. She-She threatened that if I didn't convince my dad to let her become my co-model, she'd tell everyone we're dating."

Nathaniel and Marc became infuriated at this.

"That sausage-haired tramp! I'm gonna-!" Marc turned around to go confront Lila.

"No, Marc, please!" Celine grabs his wrist. "I don't wanna make things worse. I-I'm going to do what she says."

"Do what she says? Celine, you can't!" Nathaniel protested.

"I don't have a choice," Celine replies quietly. "I don't want others looking at us like we're freaks if Lila tells them. I'm going to do what she says, even if I don't like it."

Marc and Nathaniel stayed quiet, exchanging concerned looks before sighing.

"Oh, Pearl," Marc wipes a fallen tear from Celine's face. "Don't cry, we'll figure this out together."

Celine sniffles, wrapping her arms around both of them, pulling them into a hug. They pulled her closer, kissing the top of her head.

"You want your classmate Lila Rossi to become your co-model?" Gabriel rose an eyebrow, looking down at his daughter.

"Yes, she's intrested in modeling and I want to give her a chance." Celine said, fiddling nervously with her fingers behind her back.

"Hmmm, I don't know... I haven't even met the girl." Gabriel rubs his chin.

"P-Please, Gabriel? She's... my closest friend, I wouldn't want to crush her dream of becoming a model." Celine says.

Gabriel hums. "Bring Ms. Rossi into my office tomorrow, I'll have to have a look at her for myself and decide if she's worthy of modeling with you."

Celine nods. "Of course,"

After leaving her father's office, Celine sighed and sadly trudged up the stairs.
