Helen
Tonight is the grand finale of the much hyped Fashion Week which
will see film stars and celebrities of the glamour world. I stare at my
reflection as the make-up artist smears rouge on my cheeks. I am beautiful,
easily the best model in the industry apart from Kate. But in a couple of hours
that will be taken care of. She will no longer be a distraction.
Cythilicus is a powdery material obtained by drying rose
petals in the dark and scraping their surface with a blade. It triggers itching
upon contact with body parts which can last up to a few hours. I have managed
to get hold of it in time for the finale.
Kate
Tonight is special. I have been the show stopper on most of
the ramps I have walked. Today it is no different. There is a reason why I am a crowned beauty. My passion and years of dedicated hard work,
nothing else. Whatever shortcuts she takes, Helen is not going to be able to change
that.
Cythilicus can cause severe itches but I sincerely hope she
recovers soon. I slip into another gown, and smile at my reflection. It was a
well-planned “last minute swap” with Helen. She was caught unaware as Kevin,
whose signature collection we are here to flaunt, and I gave her the news just
before the show began. Funnily, the gown
she will be wearing is a deep green.
