Modelling Agency #7

In a newsagent, Maya flicks through a women’s magazine.

“So are you in?” Kimiya asks.

“I don’t see me anywhere,” Maya answers, almost sounding relieved, “oh, well, WAIT A MINUTE!”

She found the ad displaying her eyes, pasted onto someone else's face.

"This is going to give me nightmares," Kimiya mutters.

 "THIS, is my eyes! They can't do that!" Maya exclaims, probably incorrect grammatically.

"What did you think they were going to do?" Kimiya asks.  "They can't have just eyes in an ad.  Or a veiled woman.  Anyway," she adds, "at least nobody will recognise you."

"There she is!" A woman they don't know squealed to her annoying friends, "I recognise her!"

"Run." Kimiya advises.

But before she knew it, Maya was backed into a corner.  She pointlessly covers her mouth with the magazine.  “Oh, um, hello.”

"Yeah, it's her eyes!" The stranger babbles.  Maya lifts her magazine to cover her eyes.  "But why is she wearing that thing?" The stranger continues.
Maya covers the veil with the magazine again.  “Um, it’s called a…”

"Oh, I've heard about those people," another piped up, "they wear them to stop men falling in love with them or something!"

“It’s not that simp…”

"Wow!" The first one exclaims, "To be so beautiful they have to cover their faces outside of a magazine! I've got to see this!"

"That’s very kind of… Eee!" Maya shrieks.  Without warning, someone whisks away her veil.  To the aggressive fan’s bewilderment, there was another, differently coloured veil hanging where the original veil was.  “I have a backup,” Maya explains timidly.

After two more quick attempts of uncovering (Maya apparently has an infinite number of veils) Kimiya steps in angrily.  “Hey! That’s my sister you’re bullying!”  Quite violently, she pushes the crowd back, snatching the veils from them.

With a long, annoying intake of breath, the silly woman replies “Oh my God, yes she is! You have the same eyes! Come look!”

Getting gradually crushed under the weight of the gawkers (“hers is a little duller, though…”), Kimiya mutters to Maya, “Cheese it.”

“Bye!” Maya streaks out the store.
