26 Catwalk and grades (2/2)
« Sam you did great ! How come you became better at walking so suddenly ? »
Rena came over while smiling from ear to ear, she was feeling like her choice of model was perfect.
« Hahah even I don't know, I usually perform better under pressure. »
« Anyway I don't think anybody can beat you today, I saw the way the judges looked at you.»
”Hahaha don't make me laugh, this rookie will win over us ? Be ready to give me your bike man.”
Said Jimmy, the guy who he did the bet with , he and his friends were sitting right across Sam and Rena. With them were also their designers that also saw the full contest, they also felt like Sam did great but they weren't specialists of catwalks so they weren't sure who will win but them and Rena still looked curiously at Sam and the group of three.
”Why would you have to give him your bike Sam ?”
Rena asked and everybody else also looked at him to know the answer, it wasn't everyday that you heard such a ridiculous thing.
”We did a bet, whoever get the best grade wins something belonging to the other.”
”And your bike is at stake ?! What did he bet for you to accept ? Your bike looks so expensive !”
”His car.”
Everybody looked at Jimmy, they had seen him sitting on his Porsche when they came in earlier so everybody guessed that was the bet.
'Are these guys crazy to bet that much money ? I get it for Jimmy as i heard that his dad is filthy rich but what about Sam ?'
Seconds later the woman with that lost that was announcing the names one by one came in the room and said
”Everybody on stage, designers stay with your models please.”
Everybody went over, there were at least 40 people walking on stage, each group was made of a designer and a model.
”You all performed great, both the designers and the models. Today the reward that the first duo will be a page in a famous magazine to showcase your talent.”
Said one of the judges as she stood up, she was dressed, styled and made up perfectly, as she was the first one to speak and also in the middle it could be guessed that she was the leader of the group of four, or at least that she had the highest position.
”We'll enunciate the grades from worst to best, first the designer's grades then the model's grades, don't feel too bad ifyou are ranked low. Hard work is more important than talent, if you don't give up and keep working hard you chance will come eventually !”
Finally she started telling the grades, one by one designers lowered their head, they had given it their all but couldn't even rank in the top three.
When she made it to the top three Rena's name wasn't told yet and the fourth had 7,5 out of 10 so she couldn't get less than that.
Sam looked at her and smiled, of course he was proud of her as he also helped in the making of these clothes.
”Third : Paul Thomas, congratulations your grade is 8 points out of ten. You should try being bolder in your making, I felt like your clothes lacked boldness.”
Since he was the third the issue with his clothes weren't obvious, she was just giving him advices to step up as nothing was perfect, these experts of course even had advices for the first.
”Second : Rena Gall, congratulations your grade is 9 out of ten. Your clothes are great, I'll give you the same advice as the person before you, you stayed in the safe zone, if you don't take a step out of it you won't the able to become a world class designer.”
