Capítulo 121: Start of the holidays

It's been a month since Carmen left abruptly, and while I missed her terribly, the distance was strangely working for us. Carmen FaceTimed me every day, and our conversations were filled with laughter, stories about our days, and dreams for the future.

Despite occasionally looking a bit off, Carmen always managed to reassure me that everything was fine on her end. The modeling school in New York was amazing, and I was adjusting well. Tomorrow marked the beginning of the holidays, and I felt a mix of excitement and anticipation.

Zaya had become a great friend, always there alongside Chloe. We spent hours discussing modeling tips, sharing our dreams, and supporting each other through the ups and downs of our careers. I even received my first payment—$40,000, which seemed like an unimaginable amount of money for someone my age.
