• “As the cherry blossoms bloom, they become beautiful. With the new line of Sakura, you too can be beautiful...” Sakura pedals fall everywhere as Reina puts on the Sakura lip gloss. When she does, she twirls around, and men are all over here. She turns to the camera and finishes her line, “…and a little tasteful.” She smiles seductively.
    “That’s a wonderful commercial you did.” Iruka complimented as he made breakfast. Since today was holiday, there was no school.
    “Thanks.” I smiled.
    “It was great that there was no school today, now we can just relax.” Iruka sighed like he was in heaven. That’s right, today I didn’t really book anything since my work begins always after school nowadays.
    Suddenly Iruka’s phone went off.
    “Hello? Yes, this is him speaking…” Iruka answered as he set my breakfast in front of me. I began nibbling as I watched Iruka talk.
    “Really? Yes of course, today is fine…Yes…no, thank you very much sir...” Iruka hung up. I stared at him as I drank my juice, he turned around.
    “What was that all about?” I asked.
    “There‘s a commercial that you‘re wanted in. But I think you should know rest a bit…” Iruka said.
    “I don’t need to, because I need any gig I can get.” I replied.
    “Why? You’re booked as it is anyhow, every agency wants you to join them, but you can’t do that. Plus your school studies…”
    “I had some free time after work yesterday to finish homework, so I’m fine on time. Please confirm it at once!” I said firmly.
    “Yes.” He nodded with a soft sigh.

    Everything started out nice when I arrived to the shoot.
    “Reina, darling!” A man hugged and kissed both my cheeks. I did the same, I knew he was the photographer.
    “Hello, thank you for using me as a model today.” I smiled.
    “No, thank YOU! When I saw the Sakura lip gloss commercial you were in, I knew I just had to have you for this commercial too!” He was a little energetic, I couldn’t help but smile and play along.
    “So what is the commercial for this time?” I asked.
    “It’s for a new perfume that’s called ‘D is for?’ It’s very mysteriously sexy and at the same time eloquent. So I thought for your partner, it should be none other than the young model Akira!” He said joyfully. I smiled and went on my way to change.
    “Akira, please meet your partner, Reina.” The director announced to him when he entered the room.
    “Hello, nice to meet you Mr. Fujikage.” I smiled. In return, he gave me a glare. I felt a little scared, but that’s probably how he always acted towards people.
    “This is supposed to be hot and sexy right?” Akira asked the director.
    “Yes, that’s right…”
    “Then why did you bring me this girl?” How freaking rude! I couldn’t believe all the rumor about him being conceited and rude are actually true! I’ll show him that this girl can become hot and sexy!!!

    After getting my change of clothes, hair and make-up done, I walked back out. It looked like the model Akira was already ready. He was wearing black leather from head to toe. He looked like a gorgeous devilish rock star.
    “Wow, you look like a totally different person. I knew this was going to work!” The director said to me. After Akira’s make-up artists were disbanded, he looked up at me. His eyes became wide, and he had a sudden look of shock, on his face. I told you, I am going to be the biggest star! I’ll only stop until I am satisfied!
    “Alright! Reina, please stand close next to Akira. We need to make everything precise!” I did what the director said.
    “Alright, Reina you know your lines right?”
    “Yes.”
    “Good, your voice will be narrating. We will skip that part, and for now you will start with just posing. First word is Dangerous. So Reina put your back to Akira. Akira, put your arms around her waist, and Reina overlap your right hand on his, and your left is going to be up around his neck seductively.” I did what I was told. I never really worked on seductive moves before, but I have watched other actresses in movies portray it very well. So I practiced until I was great at it, just in case.
    “Oh my…” The director said.
    “What’s wrong sir? Should we stop filming?” The crew asked.
    “No, keep going. Reina, what does D stand, for you?” The director asked me.
    “Since it’s smell is so mysteriously good, I would have to say Dark, daring, and also maybe dangerous?” I replied.
    “That’s good, now show me all of that with Akira.” I thought about what the director was telling me, and finally I got it. I was posing like I was thinking about it too much. But putting on these Daring clothes, I need to portray a girl with a Dark secret, who is very Dangerous. So I closed my eyes, and when I opened them again, I found that I had become another girl that I’ve never played before. And the posed I did, were different from the ones I did earlier.
    “Yes, yes! That’s what I was trying to reveal!” The director shouted with intense joy. I concentrated on how Akira was holding me, he looked really into it as well. Unless he was just always serious in everything he did. At the end of the skit, I had the final line that I had to say, “Find what D is for you.” And that was the end of it all.
    “You did very well Reina, I’m so proud of how it all turned out! The debut will be played in a week, thank you for your hard work. Everyone is right about you, you’re a very good actress and you may even be the best model I’ve ever worked with. I shall see you later then.” The director hugged and kissed me goodbye before he left the studio.
    “He’s right, you really are good at what you do. I was also impressed.” I turned around to see Akira leaning against the wall.
    “Thank you.” I said. Serves him right for the small way he insulted me!
    “When you were posing back there, it really turned me on. You looked so serious, that it reminded me of someone.” Oh great, do I remind him of a girl he used to bang or something? How gross…
    “Is this the part where you ask me out? Since that’s what happens after all your jobs. The girl you were working with, is always asked out.” I said. He chuckled.
    “Why, do you want to be asked out by me?” He asked with a devilish smile.
    “No…” I said. He came closer to me, backing me against the other wall.
    “Good, because if you’ve heard all about me, you’d know that you’re not my type.” My first encounter with Akira, and it turns out like this…how uncalled for…
