    About this ebook

    What could possibly go wrong during a two week modelling course at a prestigious modelling company?

    A lot!

    Twelve year old Delany Jane Chester and her best friend, Macy Compton, have won the prestigious Top Modelistè Fashion and Beauty Agency two week summer course competition. Two whole weeks of fashion, fun and beauty blitzes, and they cannot wait.

    But things start to happen and they give Dell the chills, especially when walking the hallway of mannequins, a long red glossy hallway with twenty-five very real and very lifelike mannequins that look exactly like the past twenty-five graduate winners of the course.

    Their eyes follow Dell wherever she goes and nightmares soon arise, sending her into sensory overload. Something is very wrong at Top Modelistè and she sets out to prove what it is...but will that be the biggest mistake of her life.

      Chapter 1

      Come on, Macy, we’ll be late. I excitedly dragged my best friend along the path to the front door of The Top Modelistè Fashion and Beauty Agency.

      All right, all right, stop pulling. Macy pulled her arm from my grasp and stepped up to the sign above the door. I can’t believe we signed away our holidays for this, she groaned, but the huge grin on her face gave away her true thoughts.

      I knew she was as excited as I was that we’d scored two free places in the summer modelling course we were about to start. While modelling wasn’t really our thing, we knew all our fave celebs had gone through this school at one stage or another. Most of the contestants on Next Top Beauty Queen, Shelle Overdrive, our favourite lead singer of our favourite band The Mechanics had done a course, and even Toni Deltucci, the host of our favourite TV show Mind Your Step, one of America’s hottest music shows, was a graduate.

      And now, thanks to seeing the advert in the local paper for a chance for two to win a two week modelling and etiquette course, we had won the competition and would be graduates ourselves.

      I came back to reality when a small group of girls stopped behind us. Are you going in or what? one asked.

      My head spun around to see who was talking, and I offered a quick apology. Macy and I pushed open the doors and rushed into the lobby. We all came to a halt at the reception desk.

      Are you girls here for the new two week modelling course? a blonde lady whose name tag read Samantha asked as she stood to greet us.

      Yes, we all replied in unison and giggled.

      An older blonde woman walked through a door on our right, and we watched in bewildered excitement when we realised it was Patrice Pellcott, owner of Top Modelistè, and mentor and teacher to all who came through her doors.

      I felt my eyes widen so as to take in every detail.

      Girls, Patrice called with a swift clap of her hands. Welcome to Top Modelistè, and welcome to your two week modelling and etiquette course. We will be doing a lot of fun things this week, and hopefully, I will make graceful models out of all of you. If you’ll please follow me, we can get started.

      Macy and I exchanged wide-eyed looks, grabbed each other’s hands, and with hysterical butterflies in my stomach, we followed Patrice through the door she’d come through.

      It opened into a long red and very glossy hallway with huge frames featuring pictures of graduates on both walls. Mannequins stood beside each frame wearing the same outfit the graduate was wearing in the photo.

      They look so real, Macy whispered in my ear.

      Their eyes are following us, a girl behind us said. We turned and looked at her long blonde hair and pale blue sweater set. She gave us a slight shrug. Well, it’s true, she whispered.

      Patrice stopped at the last photo and mannequin. And this is Melanie Matuk. She graduated from Top Modelistè twenty-five years ago. She was our first graduate and a top role model for all the girls who came after her.

      I stared at the photo, studying Melanie’s features and outfit, and then looked at the mannequin. It was wearing the same fairy floss pink print dress that Melanie had on in the photo. I stepped closer and stared into the dummy’s face. It had the same nose, mouth, and eyes as Melanie’s. I glanced to the photo and back again. The eyes were exactly the same colour as Melanie’s and they were…moving…

      What!?

      I gasped and jumped back.

      See, the blonde girl from before whispered in my ear. Their eyes follow you. It’s creepy. You saw that, right?

      I gulped and glanced from the girl to the dummy. The eyes didn’t move now. I gulped again as Patrice spoke to us.

      Is everything all right, girls? We need to move on now.

      I looked around at the group of girls I was with and saw them all looking at us. Macy nudged me and I caught her look of freaked out urgency.

      I saw Patrice’s scowl and jumped a third time. Everything’s fine.

      Her scowl disappeared. "Good. Let’s
