Awkwardly she stood there as a very focused Elyana pinned excess fabrics on the gorgeous lengthy gown. Elyana and Leanna shared a writing class and chatted occasionally. It was beyond Leanna how she had gotten roped into this, but so far she had no complaints other than having to stand very still. She squirmed a bit as Elyana was about to insert another pin.
"Ouch!" Leanna exclaimed with a frown. Elyana gave her a stern look, "I told you to stay as still as possible." Elyana's response was unapologetic, she had already warned Leanna about what could happen if she made a slight movement.

Leanna gave Elyana a sheepish apologetic look, "I'm sorry Ely..." Leanna replied in a defeated tone. Elyana's face softened at Leanna's apology, she knew that Leanna wasn't skilled in the art of modeling. "It's okay...just let me take these pins out and you can take a break." Elyana said to Leanna. The awkward girl breathed a sigh of relief as Elyana removed the pins very carefully from the gown.

"We're just waiting on Niko right now...she should be here any minute," Elyana commented. She nodded over to the other beautifully designed dress that was currently dressing a mannequin. "That is the dress that I designed for her." Elyana boasted to Leanna. Leanna's eyes trailed to the dusty pink dress, her mouth almost gaping open in awe. "Damn, I've only ever seen your unfinished products, but this is so pretty!" Leanna exclaimed happily. Honestly Leanna had only a vague idea of who Niko was and always admired her from afar, she was very tall and pretty, almost like an Amazon goddess.

"And I bet it will look amazing on Niko." Leanna added with a smile. Elyana playfully scoffed, "Of course it's going to look amazing on her, I made it after all."

Niko's Outfit

Though this went against nearly everything her parents had taught her, and though there was her own sense of self doubt creeping into her body, telling her to turn back and stick with the professionals that she normally dealt with when it came to modeling and getting put into new clothes, Niko shook her head, puffed her chest out, and continued walking towards the modeling center, her head held high, her hair already done, and her make up, unless it needed changing, was finished as well. No! She was going to do this, and she was going to be happy. Her parents were none the wiser of the little job she had taken up, nor was the stand in manager that her father usually called in for her if he was unable to come along with her to a shoot or a show. This, she told herself, was a good thing; this, she told herself, was helping out a fellow student, and who wouldn't appreciate a little help?

Besides, she had seen Elyana's clothing, having admired it a bit, wishing that she could just try on one thing despite having never seen a finished product. They were all so... Elegant, something that she longed to wear. That was why, when Elyana had approached her to model a dress for her, Niko jumped at the chance without even thinking about it, her mouth opening quicker than she could stop it and the word, "yes!' flying out of her mouth before she could stop the word from flowing. But she didn't regret it. The only thing she regretted was how eager she was about the project if only so that she wouldn't seem desperate in Elyana's eyes, but, eventually after venting out her worries to her friends online, she forgot about it. Mostly, anyway, or at least until she opened the doors to the modeling center and walked throughout the familiar halls.

Pictures were lines with models, past, present, and upcoming, wearing clothing that had either been professionally made or made by students in the college and high school. The names of the model sat right under the picture, and in smaller lettering were the names of the designers, less noticeable, but there nonetheless. A shame that their names weren't as large as the models, especially considering how without the clothing there would be no model. Niko frowned at the thought, but quickly relaxed her face afterwards and turned her head away after passing a picture that showcased herself against a white background with bright spotlights shining on her to make the glitter on the outfit she wore pop. No need in creating frown lines on her face, especially since the point of her being there was to look good.

Now, which room had Elyana told her to head to? Niko looked down at her purse and pulled her phone out, tapping it on and then opening her notes. Ah, room twenty one. Not too much father. She pocketed the phone back and started walking, waving to a few people she recognized as she passed down the hall, and then merely giving others nods. A few teachers of hers gave her greetings and she gave some back, meekly as she ducked her head, nearly embarrassed to have seen them outside of class. It wasn't unusual, of course, to see the specialized teachers outside of class, but still, it was something that continued to embarrass Niko. What if she wasn't as put together as she seemed in class?

Actually, most of the time, Niko never felt put together unless she was modeling something, what with her mind becoming confused with what she wanted to do in life, and even then when modeling she was beginning to feel like an outsider, like her body shouldn't be looked upon like others looked upon her like: Like a piece of meat.

Upon making it to the room, before she opened the door, Niko straightened herself up again and then knocked gently before she pulled the handle and walked in. Upon seeing the two girls in there--one of which she recognized, and the other she had no idea who she was--she smiled, her hand reaching up to give the two a small wave. "Hi," she said, her face lighting up a bit as she closed the door behind her. "Sorry if I'm a little late; I had to take care of a few things in my suite before I got here, but I hope you don't mind." She blushed at her explanation before she brushed a few strands of hair behind her ears, her eyes beginning to scour the dress that currently hung on Leanna, the girl she didn't know. "Is that another dress you're working on? It's so pretty right now." She blinked her eyes at the fabric and stepped closer, letting her fingers trail the material for a second, feeling the smoothness of it and letting it slide through her fingers.

It wasn't until a second later that Niko realized she was being rude. She blushed at the thought and quickly raised her body to full height and gave a meek smile to Leanna. "Oh, how rude of me! I'm Niko; it's nice to meet you." She stuck her hand out to the girl in greeting. "Are you a friend of Elyana, or another model?"

At the sound of soft knocking on the door, Elyana shot up and smoothed out her outfit, already anticipating who was going to walk in through the door. When Niko walked in Leanna stared at her somewhat awe-struck. This girl wasn't necessarily a small time model. Leanna was surprised at how composed Elyana was throughout all of this, as if she was a long time fashion designer who had worked with countless big names. "Oh it's alright! This one here can't stay still for very long so she kept getting poked with the pins." Elyana replied, motioning over toward Leanna who smiled back sheepishly.

Elyana nodded at Niko, "Yeah, I just have to fit it more to her waist." She smiled, explaining the alterations that needed to be done. Leanna awkwardly fumbled to get up, she felt like it was rude not to. When Niko came close to Leanna to touch the fabric, the girl's heart started beating fast. Niko was even more beautiful up close!

"Oh..uhm yeah I've seen a lot of your work. You're very photogenic! And I'm just regular ol' Leanna here, helping out a friend in need." Leanna wanted to smack herself on the forehead at the verbal vomit that just came out of her mouth. Elyana was slightly amused at how smitten Leanna was with Niko. "You totally could be a model though! I Wouldn't have asked you to help if you didn't have the right look." Elyana admitted with a grin. It was her strange way of offering a compliment to someone.
"Over here though, this is one of the finished pieces for my fashion showcase. I would be honored if you were to model it, which is why I asked you here." Elyana said to Niko, getting straight to the point. Elyana could already imagine how beautifully this dress would drape over Niko's body. Of course Elyana was a bit nervous that Niko would laugh it off and not take her seriously, but so far she seemed very sweet.

Continuing to smile graciously at the two, especially at Leanna's compliment to her being photogenic to which she thanked her genuinely with a small blush crossing her cheeks, Niko let her hand drop back to her side after being introduced to Leanna, keeping note to remember the girl's name in the back of her mind. She laughed lightly at the compliment that Elyana gave the girl, and also found the teasing between the two girls amusing, reminding her, almost, of Amy and Max, though to a very discernibly less degree then those two excited girls could be. Nevertheless, she pushed the thought aside and put her attention back on Leanna for the time being, shrugging her shoulders and then looking at the outfit in process that still hung on the girl. "It can be a pain to get pinned up in an outfit to fit your measurements, but it's usually worth it in the end. I've been poked enough times in the side throughout the process of alterations. Eventually you'll get used to it. Unless, of course you don't do it often, then I guess you won't have to worry about that, right?"

She gave a crooked smile after that response, holding back a small bit of laughter that nearly slipped from her lips. Oh, she could remember all the times when a fumbling alteration lady, or man, took to her alterations and, with shaky hands, poked her in the sides with the pins and needles. Of course, her parents would generally grow upset with the people, complaining that they were purposefully trying to sabotage their daughters looks by poking her and trying to scar her, but Niko generally waved it off and tried to pass the feelings off as mere discomforts. Sometimes those things happened; they were human, and humans made mistakes. Why have her parents yelled at them for something as simple as poking her with a pin, something that never scared her and barely hurt her? Her parents would hear nothing about it, however, and instead of ever speaking up for the people that her parents verbally abused, Niko stayed silent with her head down and with her hands placed in front of her, biting her lip and wishing that all of it was over.

But enough about thinking about her parents. Niko shook her head to block her mind of those people and turned back to Elyana, her eyes brightening as she picked her head up and looked to the dress that had been made. Her eyes sparkled along with the embezzled gown, Niko's mouth going slack with surprise as she walked to the gown and touched it with the delicate hands she let spread across the outfit that was on Leanna. "Wow, you made this yourself?" Letting the bottom of the fabric glide from her fingertips, Niko turned back to Elyana. "This is beautiful, amazing. It looks like something that could have come from a famous designer, and I really mean it, honestly." She wasn't used to doting on people's work so often, but Niko made a habit to do so with the student's work if she truly thought it deserved the praise, such as this dress deserved. There was so much talent at this school--both the college and high school--that went unappreciated! How could her parents say that she should only model clothes made by designers already out there in the world when there where so many people who were just as good as them right in the school she attended?

Good thing her parents knew nothing about this, otherwise they'd have a fit. They would raise hell if she knew, but, surprisingly, she didn't care about that. The thought almost scared her, but even so a sense of fulfillment began to spread through her body, a warm feeling that caused her shoulders to relax and fall. "I'd love to model this for you; I feel like people need to see this dress and who made it. I'd love to help." She smiled softly as she turned back to Elyana, nodding her head to herself, almost as if in her own confirmation.

Elyana observed how immersed Leanna was by Niko's voice. It was cute, little Leanna had a crush, good for her. "I think Ely is the only person who could rope me into doing this," Leanna admitted with a shrug. "I'm usually rocking a smock covered in sculpting clay. I'm really good with my hands." She added. A blush immediately spread across Leanna's face at the innuendo she had just made, hoping that she didn't make anyone uncomfortable. Frankly, she wasn't even sure if Niko was aware of her bisexuality, so maybe Niko wouldn't perceive it out of context. The interaction was a fluffy thing to watch, but when Niko turned her attention to the dress Elyana crossed her fingers behind her back, her stomach was doing back flips.

A wave of relief washed over Elyana at Niko's praise. "You really like it? I think it would look great on you!" Elyana gushed, Leanna nodded in agreement. "And yes it took me forever to get done. As beautiful as this fabric is, it's very delicate." Elyana answered. There was no other way this day could get any better aside from Niko agreeing to model the dress.
"Ohmygod would you? It's not a hassel?" Elyana wanted to confirm that she wasn't interfering with any of Niko's professional business.

Niko nodded her head after listening to Elyana, her eyes finding their way back to the dress just as her fingers touched the fabric again. "I can tell it's delicate; you can just feel how good the material is. I'm impressed." Smiling widely, Niko decided to move around instead of staying stationary. She let her hands drop and folded them in front of her body as she started circling the dress, evaluating it from all sides as she took notice of the pair of eyes that were on her, watching her. She paid no mind to it, however; eyes were on her most of the time regardless, but their pressing gazes weren't as heavy as eyes normally were on her. They weren't expecting her to do something amazing to look gorgeous in that moment, and, for once, she was actually being given a choice with what she wanted to do.

Wait, that thought made her stop. She was finally given a choice with what she wanted to do, rather than being forced to get into an outfit or dress to model for a certain company so that she could show up in their magazines, or even in some of their commercials and pictures they hung in their stores. Her heart skipped a bit as her legs stood still, her eyes widening, everything else nearly leaving Niko's mind as her eyes stayed on the dress. This was her own decision; her parents had no say in this, and while she could find herself beginning to pull away from the world of modeling because it just... Overrun her life in a way that she was beginning to hate, the thought of modeling this dress for a fellow student caused her to smile. For once, she actually wanted to model something.

It was rare for her to model any clothing from students at the school; the only times she had been permitted in doing so had been during projects that she had to accomplish, and having those reported on her grades had been the only reason why her parents allowed it. Of course they were upset with it, but that didn't excuse the fact that they still had a distaste for it because the students were no big name designers who could give them money and free clothes. But this... She could do this. She wanted to do this, and she knew she would feel good about it. She wanted to do this for herself, as well as for someone who would appreciate it to the fullest extent, and if she could help a fellow student who, obviously, worked hard on what they did and didn't expect hand outs to be given to them... Then she was more than willing to take part in it.

Bringing herself out of her musing, Niko finally shook her head and turned to Elyana with a wide, graceful smile. She stepped around the dress and laughed lightly as she pushed a few strands of hair behind her ear. "I'd love to model this for you; I think it's amazing, and if you can create something like this," she pointed back to the dress, "then you deserve to have your work flaunted around." After nodding her head in confirmation again, she finally laughed. "So, is there anything I need to do right now? We can start on this whenever you like." She had other plans, yes, plans that her parents made for her, but, against her better judgement, she pushed them to the back of her mind, erasing them. It didn't matter; she wanted to do something for herself and she finally was. And she felt good. She didn't even feel the anxiety of going against her parents like she normally would have felt with any ounce of disobedience towards what they wanted her to do.

This, Niko felt like, was going to be fun.

Leanna watched as Elyana practically held her breath until Niko finally spoke up again. Instantly, Elyana let out a sigh of relief. If Niko had said no, she would have to find another model, but having Niko Connor model in this showcase would help raise money for the fashion and modeling departments. "Well, if it isn't too much to ask, maybe a quick fitting? Just so I can do any necessary touch ups before the final fitting?" Elyana asked, if Niko had important meetings, of course she wouldn't be one to stop her from her work.

"Hey, maybe Ely won't poke and prod you as much as she did for me." Leanna joked, flashing a goofy grin at the two girls. Elyana giggled at the comment and turned Niko. "Full disclosure, I have no mercy for those who don't stand still." Elyana commented, continuing the joke. The soft expression on her face made it clear that she was just kidding around. Her tension had definitely melted away when she realized that Niko was actually a sweetheart. Elyana wouldn't admit that she was worried that Niko would be a diva of some sorts because she felt guilty for thinking that in the first place.

"It will only take half an hour, max. I think I'll have to touch up the bust of the dress a little bit though." Elyana added. Niko was definitely more busty than Elyana had initially thought. Leanna couldn't help her eyes from fluttering to the bust on the dress, then quickly to Niko's chest. Leanna quickly nodded in agreement with Elyana.

Quickly nodding her head, Niko smiled as she let her eyes wander back to the dress. In an hour she needed to head off campus and head into town for something that her parents set up for her, but for the life of her she couldn't help but want this little 'meeting' with Elyana, and now Leanna too, to last longer than that. Her parents would be upset about her missing their meeting, that was no doubt in her mind about that, however only hearing them yell at her across the phone seemed less likely of detrimental thing than it once used to be for her, something that nearly always caused her heart to speed up and something that always caused her hands to get clammy. Where this new found confidence and independence came from, Niko couldn't say, however she was going to take the new energy for what it was and run with it, least it run out quicker than she would have liked.

"That'll work," she answered, nodding her head as she clapped her hands together and held them there. She laughed lightly at the jokes that spouted out between the two, but she merely shrugged her shoulders at the thought. "Like I said before, I've been poked plenty of times, so it's no problem. I think I've mastered the skill of staying still anyhow, what with getting fitted all the time and with having to pose for pictures, so I don't think I'll be doing too much moving around." Turning back to the dress and letting her hands trail against the fabric again, she spoke back up, "So, ready to get started? Anywhere around here so that I can get 'suited up', or do I need to just drop my clothes here?" Her face, while showing a bit of humor, was serious with her questions. While it wasn't the best feeling in the world, having to get changed in front of people quickly was often something that she had gone through when having to go through various wardrobe changes, or when having to have some sort of dress put on that she needed help with getting on.

She rose her brows in question at the thought, completely innocent in asking, but not seeing anything wrong with it either.
