She yawned, still feeling a bit sleepy even though she slept like a log as soon as she collapsed into her bed last night. Considering she had no real plan for anything today, Natsuki was meandering around in the mall window shopping.

As she walked through the throngs of people going about their own business, yesterday's events seemed very much like a dream.

Stopping by at a clothing store, the Tee-Party, she started going through their wares, noting each one she might want to purchase in the future.

[color=fff200]"Hi hi~ Anything in particular you're looking for?" [/color]It was a young woman, an employee judging from her clothing. [color=fff200]"Can I...help... Wow you're tall!"[/color] she blurted out, her surprise making Natsuki blush slightly. It was true that she towered over most girls in her class, and some of the boys as well, though no one really burst out in surprise like that.

[color=fff200]"..and slender."[/color] The woman started staring at Natsuki for what seemed like an uncomfortably long time. [color=fff200]"Say, wanna do some part time modeling? You can call me Hikari. Great, now that that's over with, lets get started with the modeling!"[/color]

[color=7ea7d8]"Ah, w-wait! I didn't agree to anything!"[/color]

[color=fff200]"Is that so?"[/color]Hikari looked genuinely surprised.[color=fff200] "I give a pretty good rate you know? ￥860 per day for you, only for modeling and perhaps helping out with the store time to time."[/color]

Natsuki froze for a moment, thinking of what she would do with that amount of money. One month of saving those should yield her quite a lot, plus, she wasn't exactly rolling around in money right now. A bit of extra income could be helpful. But on the other hand, she had no idea how to model, and she was deadly afraid of making some embarrassing decisions.

[color=fff200]"See?"[/color] Hikari said, starting to herd Natsuki towards the back again.[color=fff79a] "Come on now, day's wasting."

Her weak protests soon overruled by Hikari's firm decision, Natsuki decided to try it. Just one day, and she'd quit if she couldn't handle it.
