Luna’s Journey - Chapter 9 Superstar Design

It’s been a week since I arrived in A country, today I would have my first class. Standing in front of the mirror I admire my outfit, a red lace dress, and baby pink heels. ‘Since I’m a fashion student I need to show everyone I have style.’ I thought with a smile. Grabbing my bag I left, and went to King University, deciding to catch a taxi then have a driver.

The day when Momo came back I was glad about all of the information she gathered on the top families in A country. I was also a little surprised to learn about my new friend, Christy and her amazing background. Turns out she is the princess of the Wilson family as the youngest daughter with three elder brothers. The Wilson family doesn’t reside in A country but they helped this country when it comes to the fashion business. Christy following her family’s lifestyle came to study the fashion industry.

‘It seems that fate was on my side when I met Christy that day, with her help she can help me with my future business plan.’ I thought with a smile.

I also learned about the Morris family, and from meeting a member already it turns out I was right about thinking their reputation is poor. Since the family comes from a long line of wealth and power, the members tend to fault it and look down on others. Lucky for me that the youngest son of that family will be in another department.

There are also two other powerful families, the Lees, and the Smiths, but from Momo’s Intel, I won’t have a problem with them if I stay out of their way. The Smiths and the Morris family are close but it seems they don’t cross when it comes to business. While the Lees are the elite in A country, everyone who lives here known not to mess with them or you’ll pay dearly.

With all of the information, I gathered I figured that making connections with these folks would be hard or a pain in the neck. So I stuck with the plan of sticking with Christy, fortunately, I find her to be funny and kind.

As I was deep in thoughts I noticed that the taxi had arrived at King University’s gate, paying I got out and looked at the school. With a smile, I walked to my class and prayed that the years would go by in a flash.

The class was going great and as we got to the end the professor told us to bring our design books. Before classes even started he send out an assignment to make an outfit that expresses our style, from there he would see what is needed to improve.

I thought about the outfits that Sara had in her closet and tried to create an outfit that represented that style. To my surprise, when I picked up the pen so many design pop in my mind and I was drawing for two days. Finishing I looked at the final piece and could feel that this outfit represented Sara’s soul. Confused I asked Momo what happened but even she was puzzled about the effects I had when drawing.

‘This is her body so she must want her passion to be shown. With talent like this and a fashion sense to die for I couldn’t blame her.’ I thought while looking at my outfit.

Smiling and ignoring everyone I didn’t notice Christy looking over my shoulder. When she saw my design she gasped out loud and got everyone’s attention. “Oh my god! That dress is amazing if this was on sale I would buy it no matter how much it cost.” She said while staring at my outfit.

Looking up at her I noticed that the class were surrounding around us and had shocked expression. Feeling awkward I wanted to put my design away but it grabbed out of my hand. I saw that my professor had it and giving it a deep overlook.

“Miss Wu, are you the only who really designed this dress.” He asked giving me a serious look.

I nodded my head and he broke out in a huge smile, “Wonderful! Simply Wonderful! You make my job as a teacher worth it, especially when I see work like this come into the world.” He said while looking at my drawing.

Trying to get my book back I shook my head, “Sir, you praise me too much. I just tried to make a simple dress, I truly didn’t do anything praiseworthy.” I said meekly.

My professor let out a loud laugh and pulled me to the front, “Everyone, I know things like this are frowned upon but as a person in the fashion industry I must give praise when it’s needed. Miss Wu, it’s great that you joined this department because your sense for fashion is amazing. A simple dress at first look but the detail that it would take to show the great design is the true gift. Please, tell me what made you think of such a piece of work.”

Seeing everyone’s attention on me I started to blush, “I just grabbed the pen and I had designs pop in my head, nothing more, nothing less.” I said taking my book away.

Just as my professor wanted to speak more I noticed that the class was over, “Sorry, but I have another class, sir. I’ll see you next week.” I said while running in class leaving everyone with wide eyes.

Leaving the classroom I had a smile on my face, ‘First part of plan complete, now let the rumors fly,’ I thought as I walked out of the building. In the sky, I saw Momo flying around with joy at the notion of my plan going smoothly.
