HOLLOWAY 19 | STRAIGHT | OCCUPATION | COLLEGE KIDS | KENDALL JENNER THE INTERVIEW HELLO. THANKS FOR COMING IN TODAY. SHALL WE START WITH YOUR NAME? [shelby's eyes are glued to her cell phone, her thumbs gliding over the letters as she responded back to one of the many text she had recieved that day. her phone meant everything to her, it was the one thing - as well as her computer that kept her connected to everything and everyone she cared about. after she was satisfied with her response, she hit send before setting the device down in her lap and bringing her eyes up to finally look at the interviewer. she doesn't say anything at first, she barely even moves - the only thing that shows any form of life is the fact that her eyes are scanning the woman up and down. about a hundred thoughts run through shelby's head and there isn't one that's positive. she wasn't even about to talk about her bird's nest of hair or the outfit, those two were just easy targets for her. there were wrinkles on her face that shelby felt were big enough for her to hide herself in, seriously, how could the woman keep her eyes open? ever here of a face lift? also, what's with the lipstick on her teeth? however she doesn't say any of the thoughts, she just flicks a section of her hair over her shoulder and grins.] "hello, i'm shelby holloway! everyone normally calls me shelby but my family often shorten it and call me shel or some variation of shelby.." THAT'S A NICE NAME. WHAT DO YOU DO FOR A LIVING? [the name shelby was as basic as a name could get in her mind. she never asked her parents why they chose that name, the name itself she had come to learn was the name of a car. her middle name, cristine, also had something to do with a car the only difference being the spelling. however, shelby figured her parents weren't that clever when it came to naming her or her siblings. she let's out a faint scoff, scratching the side of her nose lightly as she shrugs her shoulders at the question. what does she do for a living? oh great, this was going to be one of those pointless interviews that took up most of her time and would have been better if she could have just written out her answers instead of performing a face to face. this was stupid, though her face said otherwise.] "i go to school, bowdoin and i'm a model in the spare time that i do have." INTERESTING. WHAT DO YOU DO FOR FUN? [on the inside, shelby is dying to get out of here. she doesn't understand why it's important to know what she does in her free time. she doesn't plan on hanging out with the old bird or anyone else she had seen walking throughout this building. also, what was this interview even for? this was the last time that she listened to bianca tanner, a washed up former victoria's secret model.] "by looking at me you would think that all i do is spend my time in and out of the mall, right? that i shop till i drop, drink nothing but starbucks and stare in the mirror and constantly tell myself that i'm the hottest piece of ass around. " [she stops her little rant when she feels her phone buzz in her lap, shelby takes her time in responding to it before looking up to see impatient eyes staring back at her.] "sorry..work is pretty busy right now but um, where was i? ...oh right, what i do for fun. if you haven't noticed work takes up a lot of my time. i work with bianca, well, i use to work with bianca before she decided to disappear and leave me and the other girls to fend for ourselves." [at this point, shelby can't help but roll her eyes at the thought of it. she wanted to model, not run a business but she had to say that she enjoyed seeing who her competition was and having a say in who stays and who goes. she was currently co-owning a modeling agency that bianca thought would be good to have in the town of brunswick. girls within range wanted nothing more than to be under their roof but shelby only saw this as a stepping stone to much bigger and better dreams.] "anyway, fun for me would be doing photoshoots and networking, you know, getting my name out there. i love watching old black and white movies, it's something my mom and i use to do all the time - i still do it every sunday." [she screws up her face as she tries to think of what else to say, something to get her through to the next question.] "i don't know, i like doing girl things i guess. lately i've been picking up a knack for photography. i'm pretty badass at it." WOULD YOU SAY THOSE ACTIVITIES REFLECT WHO YOU ARE? Who are they? This is their personality, so it should be one of the bigger ones. First or Third person. A COOL CAT LIKE YOU MUST HAVE A TON OF SUITORS FLOCKING TO YOU, HUH? [the amount of words that crossed her mind as she stared at the interviewer were quite bountiful, the ones that stuck out were fucking moron, you're gonna be forever alone, cat lady and lesbian. just when she thought that the woman couldn't get any weirder..whatever, just do it shelby.] "i wouldn't say a ton. are you implying that i'm some sort of slut?" [the woman begins to babble about how that's not what she meant, that she was trying to sound hip. who the hell says hip anymore unless they are talking about the human anatomy?] "relax, i'm just kidding. to answer your question i'd like to think i have a ton of 'suitors flocking' me, i mean what girl doesn't? but no, i don't. i'm pretty laid back when it comes to guys i guess, i like the idea of relationships. spending your time with one person and enjoying their company forever." [she pauses to sigh as if she were thinking of her one true love but pulls a blank face before scoffing.] "yeah. right. truth is i can't see myself in a relationship anytime soon. i'm nineteen, i'm attractive and i have a lot going for me - i can't be fussed with fueling some guys ego right now. so i'll just stick to my friend with benefits until opportunity comes knocking." COOL BEANS. THEY SAY YOUR FAMILY SHAPES WHO YOU ARE. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOURS? Explain your character's relationships with his/her family members. Do they like their parents? Their siblings? Do they live with another relative. Pets? Explain why. First or Third person. AND YOUR LIFE? TELL ME ABOUT YOUR PAST. I'M EAGER TO HEAR. This is your history. It should be one of your longer ones. First or Third person. What about a secret? Everyone has a secret. This is important. First or Third person. ALRIGHT. TIME'S ALMOST UP. TELL ME ABOUT YOUR DREAMS. QUICK! "a dream of mine is for this interview to be over, no i'm kidding but seriously. i have things to get to today before i have to go to work." [something that she wants more than anything is to have the picture perfect family that she often sees in the movies. since her mother passed, she seems out of touch with her family more than ever and she hates it. AND THAT'S A WRAP. IT WAS NICE GETTING TO KNOW YOU. [not only is she halfway out of the door but her attention is once again, glued to the iphone in her hand. jay-z's "holy grail" is heard coming from the phone, she quickly answer's it and a loud laugh passes her lips as she greets the caller.] BEHIND THE MASK ALEXA | 21| CENTRAL | LAM | WAY TOO MANY...
