"Well I guess this day hasn’t turned out so bad at all," Ainslie thought

"I better get exercising, I have to lose thirty pounds before April 30^th."

Ainslie is 5’4 and about 140 pounds. She wanted to be the equal of Marisa, since they would both be in the movie together. Marisa is 5’8 and one hundred and ten pounds exactly.

Ainslie went downstairs into her basement and turned on the tape. Richard Simmons wasn’t as bad as most people thought. He may be gay but he’s cool. After the video, Ainslie took out her walkman and inserted the tape that Alana had given her. She ran for two hours. As soon as she got home, Ainslie collapsed on the couch. She was really hungry but she knew that if she ate something she would gain more weight. Ainslie ended up raiding the cupboard. She ate cookies, crackers and chocolate. Ainslie felt really guilty. She walked towards the bathroom, crouched over the toliet and inserted two fingers down her throat. She made her self throw up the food that she had just scarfed down. It made her feel better after she threw up, but somehow she knew it was wrong. She flushed the toliet, brushed her teeth and went outside. She was feeling better already. She decided that she would dial up Marisa’s number and talk for a while.

"Hello?"

"Hey Marisa! How are you?"

"I’m alright, what about you?"

"Never been better, Marisa." Ainslie said enthousiasticly.

"What are you so happy about?" Marisa responded

"I got the job in California with you! Mr. Peterson called me this morning and let me know that I’m in."

"Oh, a Frank something called me before March Break and asked me if I was still interested because Alisha Bell my agent didn’t call EMI following the video interview. So he asked me in favor of the main characters of the movie if I still was available for three months at the end of April. I told him sure, and he said someone would follow up the next week with the details. "

"How come you didn’t tell me?"

"Well I saw how angry you were when you didn’t get that job for Nike and I did, I decided to keep it to myself. "

"We’re best friends Marisa, you usually tell me everything"

"Well I guess this time I didn’t"

"Well I have to go, Marisa" Ainslie said angrily.

"I’ll talk to you later,"

"Yeah see you in California"

"California? We still see each other in school"

"Click" Ainslie put down the phone.

She thought, " What the hell is this? My best friend keeping things from me. Special phone calls from EMI? I guess I’m not good enough for Ms. Perfect or EMI. You know what I’ll show Marisa who is better. Just let her watch me get all the jobs from now on. I’ll show everyone"
