At about eleven-thirty or so Ashlee and the rest had shown up to the art building, they had walked into the studio and to her luck whoever had been using it had finished early which was good for her because knowing James and Evelyn, they might get feisty especially since Ashlee was gonna try and use this as an excuse for Evelyn to accept James' invitation to formal.

The studio was large and had two small dressing rooms which was perfect since Evelyn had three outfits, and the boys only had one. There was a vanity table there and as they walked in Ashlee shrugged off her coat and bag.

"Okay guys I came in here earlier today and left my outfits you guys are gonna be wearing in the dressing rooms. The boys dressing room is to the left, the girls is to the right. Lola you can set up at the vanity table, and after you guys get dressed go to Lola and I'll come there and tell her what I want. I'll be setting up the set. Need anything just ask me." Ashlee grinned.

Seth shrugged in response and led the way to the dressing room. He stepped inside the small room and spotted two hangers on a clotheshorse. They were the plastic-covering type. Seth picked up [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] with his name on a tag.

"Here's mine." He unzipped it and smirked. "Yo, I'm gonna make you look ugly," he informed James behind him as he began to tug off his jacket, shirt and jeans. He pulled on the striped high-neck, the darker v-neck and then the brown leather jacket. There was a necklace with his name tagged to it, so he threw that on too, along with, to his delight, a beanie. He loved beanies! This was a bit fancier than he was used to dressing, but nothing too outrageous. He loved looking good in his clothing choice.

He smirked at James and strutted out of the dressing room, and over to where Lola's station as in the makeup room. He gave her a smug grin. "Doesn't this make you wanna just ravish me?"

***

Evelyn had known, from a preliminary meeting the day before, that she had a few shots with James. This thought kept her up half the night in worry. Knowing Ashlee, Evelyn was dreading it.

She had protested, and she and Seth had both agreed Rose would be a better model but Ashlee wasn't listening to her pitiful argument. James, to her shock (and horror) had smugly agreed to do the shots with her. She'd honestly have done them with Seth, but Seth was being a douche and brought in the argument that he'd feel weird doing couply shots with his best friend's ex. This shut her up for a good while.

Evelyn, now dressed in a [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], strode to her dressing room without a word. She peeled off her gloves after closing the door, set down her bag and quickly went to the outfits on the clotheshorse.

Evelyn 1 was the first hanger. She unzipped it and felt a smile tug on her lips. She hadn't seen [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] yet. It was gorgeous and probably for a solo shot, she figured. This outfit demanded attention, a long sleeved, ruffled dress with sleeves that tightened against her skin as she put it on. It rested just a few inches above knee and she pulled on the matching boots and put on the hat over her combed out waves. Then she pulled on the matching jewelry and stepped outside, heading for Lola's station. She passed Seth on the way and had to admit he worked his rather glam outfit.

"Going to kick ass?" he taunted her. Evelyn flipped him off with a grin.

James had pulled a face at Seth and went on to get dressed he pulled out of the shirt he had and put on the charcoal gray shirt and the leather jacket that went with it he had to admit he looked pretty damn good! Better than Seth.

James had walked out of the dressing room and over to Lola's station, where he saw Seth and Evelyn standing there already. James stuck his fingers in his mouth and wolf whistled, "Looking good Ev."

Lola had been startled by James' shrill whistle, but she looked back at him and nudged him, "Very rock and roll James, and Evelyn he's right you look smoking! Ashlee you're gonna have to let me steal that outfit after this is over!" Lola called out to Ashlee who had been setting the white back drop and arranging some lights.

She laughed and approached them, "What can I say I'm a genius." Ashlee placed a finger under her chin and examined Evelyn, and the boys. The three of them looked really damn good. But she was trying to figure out how she wanted the hair and the make up to look for Evelyn, she knew for James' hair that they could just make it really messy looking, and for Seth he'd be wearing a hat so they wouldn't have to mess with his hat too much.

But he looked a little more glam rock than James did so if he was okay with it, "Okay Lola I want you to give Evelyn like a silvery, kind of glittery eye you know? More like shimmer, liquid liner and stuff. I like her hair this way maybe tease it a bit so there's some more volume."

Lola nodded and then Ashlee looked to Seth, "Okay Seth if its okay with you, you kind of look more glam rock which is cool, but would you mind sporting some eyeliner? She knew that some guys weren't crazy about wearing make up but she figured she'd ask him.

Evelyn, who was blushing bright red after James' whistle, now glanced up and stifled a giggle.

Seth looked like Ashlee had asked him to bang Georgianna. "UM, YES, I do mind!" he said agitatedly, blue eyes wide. "I like my eyes au naturale, thank you!" He poked James. "He looks more Gothic rocker. Put eyeshit on him if you want though."

Lola had been stifling laughter alongside Evelyn. Seth in make up had to be one of the funniest things she has ever heard!

Ashlee widened her eyes back at Seth, "Pleaseee only for a couple of shots! Besides it would bring your eyes out way more, and James looks too rough to have make up on. For you it works better! Just a couple shots and if it doesn't look good you can take it off I promise." Ashlee vowed.

"No," Seth replied shortly, hands in his pockets and a disgruntled look on his face.

"Okay how about one photo? Just one?" Ashlee negotiated with him. That was better than him having to do ten or so. Damn models always have to have such an attitude.

"Oh come on Seth, one picture won't kill you." Lola said to him, honestly its not like it was that big of a deal! Eyeliner wipes off easily.

"Nope," Seth said stubbornly, leaning back against a wall and sticking his chin up in defiance. Hell if he was ever having that gunk touch him. Sure, he was okay with powder - he knew that was sometimes needed for lights, and to bring out features - but eye liner was something he absolutely loathed on males. It was just GAY.

Ashlee really didn't feel like arguing with Seth, he was being ridiculous now. One picture was enough, "Okay fine forget it! Lola just put some cover up on them so them, and just make James' hair messy and such. When you're all done walk onto the set and we'll get started." Ashlee huffed turning around.

Lola looked at James there really wasn't too much she could do with his hair, she wanted messy okay. That was easy enough, "James." Lola motioned him to lower his head so he did.

"Yeah?" He asked.

Lola ran her hands through James' dark brown hair, and mussed it up, she spiked up some of the hair and reached over to the table to grab some gel so the spikes would hold. She then took a comb and with it made a zig zag pattern in the back, and spiked up any remaining bits. She then reached down to the table and took out all of the make up she had borrowed from her sister the night before, plus her own that she had. Between Lola and her sister it looked like Lola had robbed MAC.

She took the make up sponge and just applied some cover up underneath James' eyes and a bit on his cheeks, "There you are you're done." Lola smiled.

James grinned thanking Lola and went to go stand by Ashlee. While he waited for Seth and Evelyn.

Lola was glad Seth was wearing a hat, because she knew he'd throw some sort of fit about her touching his hair, and after his diva behavior about make up she just ran some cover up so that his eyes and such would pop out more, and took the comb to sort of make his hair look sort of messy underneath the beanie and sent him over to Ashlee.


Lola then pat the chair for Evelyn to sit and she instantly went to work on her hair, she took off Evelyn's hat so she gonna do her hair, she had plugged in a flat iron and a curling iron. While they got dressed so they had plenty of time to heat up. Although Ashlee said to tease the hair. Lola took the curling iron and made the ends more wavier, and made it so they were larger curls towards the ends and waved at the top. She then took a comb and began teasing the back of her hair to give it some volume and she placed the hat back onto Evelyn's head.

Lola opened up the eyeshadow palette and looked through the colors, she picked up her brush and dipped into one of the silvery shadows and applied it to Evelyn's eyes and quickly outlined her green eyes with black liner, winging it at the end. With the last touch she gave her a nude lip gloss on her lips.

"Okay girl you're good to go! Go see Ashlee." Lola grinned setting down her make up.

Evelyn, unused to wearing a lot of makeup, was glad she wasn't wearing anything heavy like foundation. But she glanced in the mirror as she got up and blinked in shock. Her eyes looked different. A lot more....well, maybe seductive was the right term. The winged liner sort of added to the come-hither effect.

"Thanks, Lola," she said, going down the hall to the studio where the boys were already.

She strode over to Ashlee, carefully in the heeled boots (again, she wasn't used to heeled boots so much). "My shot?"

Seth hadn't noticed her because he was busy texting Jake. So Im at that shoot thing i told u about. Guess what, Ev n james r the other 2 models. XD

James' mouth fell open when he saw Evelyn, he wasn't used to seeing Evelyn look like this. She looked really... hot! He was at a loss of words and had almost forgotten that he had liked Alexis.

"Oh good you're done! Damn girl, Lola did a good job! Okay let's get you guys into place, Seth text later!" Ashlee called to him dragging Evelyn and James together in front of the white back drop.

She almost wanted the first shot to be of them two together, but she figured she save that for Evelyn's last outfit and try and get them in shots together more then, but for her first shot she wanted it to be a group shot.

"Okay here's how I want it, Evelyn I want you to get in the middle here." She said putting Evelyn in the center. She then looked at James and grabbed him.

"Okay James I need you here on her right, and um wrap your arm around her waist okay? And Ev I need you to kind of drape your arm around his neck. And Seth! You're gonna be on the left, your gonna be leaning on her? Okay?" Ashlee said positioning them and moving them around like they were sort of puppets.

Ashlee looked at them and figured that this looked nice for a moment, "Okay you guys look good. For this first one look kind of serious, you know like diva attitude, almost like a smoldering kind of look from all three of you? Alright?" Ashlee said going to pick up her DSLR.


Jake had gotten Seth's message and read it, wow James and Evelyn? He knew that it being Ashlee she would want James and Evelyn doing photos together so he replied back to Seth. Huh you don't say? Well that's cool. Although he really didn't care too much about James, he had let go of his grudge he still didn't like that she was modeling with him.

Seth shrugged at her in response. By "leaning", he had only leaned a little toward Evelyn because he figured with shoes like hers, she wasn't a very stable support for a guy over six feet.

After Ashlee had positioned her, Evelyn fought to keep a blush rising in her cheeks. Okay, so she should be comfortable around them at this point. Hell, Seth had seen her in enough compromising positions already, but he wasn't the problem. Evelyn tried to ignore James' severe invasion of her personal boundaries by muttering to them both, "How the hell do you smolder?"

"Uhhh...." Seth blinked cluelessly and glanced at James over her head. Evelyn was firmly not looking at the brunet, already uncomfortable with his arm around her waist. James might be influenced by the love potion and completely un-attracted to her but she was free of any such relief and her stomach and heartbeat danced nervously.

James shrugged not sure what it meant to smolder either so he asked, "Ash what the hell do you mean smolder?!"

Lola laughed coming up towards the set to watch them.

"You know look angry or something... not angry but you know." Ashlee was having issues explaining it she knew what she was aiming for because almost every super model took pictures like that.

"Like this guys!" Lola called to them, and narrowed her eyes, lifting her chin up, she placed a hand behind her head into her hair and looked forward at them, her gaze intense.

"Yes do what Lola is doing!" Ashlee pointed to her, almost figuring if she should change models, but Lola was like Ashlee when it came to the height department for modeling it wasn't going to happen.

Seth exchanged a horrified glance with Evelyn. How the fuck would he do that? "Freakin' hell," he muttered.

Evelyn bit her lower lip and then remembered she shouldn't ruin her lipgloss. Seth sighed and decided to take the plunge in making himself look like an idiot. He tilted his head a little and focused on the camera, blue eyes narrowed just a little and his gaze studying intensely. He felt like he was focusing enough to perform open-heart surgery. "Work for you?"

Evelyn turned her head and watched him with wide eyes. Oh hell. She almost bit her lip but caught herself, glancing up at James to see how he was faring. She didn't think she could ever look all intense like that!

After much arguing, Evelyn and James pulling at each other's clothes and hair, Seth falling on his ass. Everyone arguing then Lola and the models laughing while they tried to imitate her "smolder." Plus James' sneezing fight.

They had finally managed to do a smolder and Ashlee snapped the photo quickly before they got out of their position by Seth creating scenarios for them to smolder at the camera.

"Thank god!" Ashlee yelled frustrated and glad that the photo was over, and that it came out good because she was in no mood to make them do that again.

"Okay Ev need you step out for this one." Ashlee went and grabbed two prop guitars and handed one to James and one to Seth.

"James need you to look like you're playing, and rocking out. You know stick your tongue out just look like those rocker you see on TV. Seth, pretend to break the guitar! Pretend these are props and if you do break them I have to pay for them, so hold it over the air and such you know? Okay so get in your places you two!" Ashlee directed them standing back away from them.

James picked up a guitar and he slung it on over his shoulder. But before he could pose, he said. "Hey Ash! Come on we need music for this how can we rock out to no music?" James yelled.

Ashlee hadn't really had anything to play music from, and Lola went to grab something from her purse. She had a feeling something like this, she pulled out her iTouch and she had mini speakers. She plugged her iPod in and blared a song for them, "Okay rock out boys."

"Seth take off your beanie!" Lola yelled finding the fan, she went and set up and turned it on so it blew a breeze and their jackets were blowing back in the wind. Lola gave a thumbs up to Ashlee.

Ashlee liked this, she'd remember to recruit Lola for more stuff, "Okay guys ready?"

With Evelyn going off to change into her next outfit after a few "smoldering" solo shots, the boys got into position.

Seth took off hsi beanie and tossed it to Lola, aiming so it hit her face intentionally. He smirked and then lifted the prop guitar. "Breaking shit is my specialty," he muttered so only James heard. Seth lifted the fake guitar up and made a face like he was overcome by a fit of musical awe and swung the guitar over his shoulder, eyes intense on the camera (that damn "smolder").

Evelyn was wide eyed as she put on the short [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. Not because it was slutty. It was pretty decent compared to what she feared was coming. She was wide-eyed because of the flower basket bag with this outfit. Pretty cute and original.

She was also happy because she was already on her second outfit with no shot with James.

The dress was a little higher than the first one, and with no boots, her legs looked longer in the heels. She walked to Lola's makeup station and waited for her makeup to be done. "Hey!" she called over to the brunette. "Am I keeping this makeup and hair?"

James made it look like he had been singing and playing the guitar, and him and Seth did a couple more of their damn smoldering looks before Ashlee gave them the clear to step off of set.

Lola heard Evelyn call to her and looked at Ashlee, "So what about the red outfit, hair and make up the same or... what?" She asked since this was Ashlee's vision and such.

Ashlee looked back at Evelyn, "Hmm her hair is still good, maybe just touch it up a bit. But for her make up do like more intense eyeliner and wipe off the silvery eye shadow and do just like a nude shimmery one and do more of a bold lip."

"You got it." Lola made a thumbs up at Ashlee and walked back over to the make up table, firs she took a make up wipe and made Evelyn close her eyes so she could wipe off her current make up. After she cleaned off her make up from her first shots, she reapplied some cover up to areas, and took a nude shimmer shadow and dusted over Evelyn's eyes lightly just so that there was a little sparkle but it didn't take away from the intensity of the eyeliner.

Lola took the liquid liner and painted a thick lines on both her top and bottom lid, and on her hook she flourished a tiny swirl and dabbed tiny dots a top the arch. Lola ran her fingers over the glosses and found a darker pink one, because the red would have been too much with the dress.

Lola just teased her hair a little bit more, since it had fallen a bit. But it was still pretty good. "Okay you're complete, go to the photographer."

Evelyn glanced in the mirror curiously and then blinked. THis was even mroe out there than the last one. "Wow, you're good," she informed Lola wonderingly, and then headed for Ashlee again.

Seth was again leaning against the wall and he glanced up as Evelyn strode out. He lifted his phone. "Hey!"

She froze mid-step and he snapped a picture. Evelyn looked startled and Seth smirked as he turned his camera and snapped one of the brooding James.

Evelyn shook her head and walked over to Ashlee. "Okay, where do you want me?" she asked.

Seth sent the pics to Jake to keep him updated and entertained. Second outfit for Evelyn. James n I r in the same ones. He also attached a pic of Evelyn's first outfit taken when she had been doing a solo shot complete with smolder, figuring Jake would get a kick out of that one. Thats the 1st one. suits her way more but i wont complain about red on a girl. ;D

Lola grinned, what could she say it was a skill, she waltzed back over to Ashlee so she could watch.

Ashlee looked Evelyn over, and was loving what Lola did with her make up on this one, home girl was reading her mind. "Damn girl you've got skill."

"Thanks!" Lola was seriously reconsidering majors maybe go to beauty school become a make up artist. But she'd think that later for now she waned to watch the shoot.

James saw Evelyn and was floored, even though the outfit was a bit more edgier Evelyn was looking really good. "Okay James, Ev you guys are gonna do this shot together!"

James walked back onto the backdrop and Evelyn had followed him. "Okay Ev, I need you to wrap your arm around James' neck again and kind of be leaning back you know and pop up your right foot. Be looking away from James looking all aloof okay? James I want you to lower your head and look at Evelyn like you want to rip her clothes off!" Ashlee yelled.

James' eyes widened, but then he realized that didn't seem too hard because that was sort of what he wanted to do. He had his arm around her waist and lowered his head so his lips hovered just above her neck and he looked down sort of doing the smoldering look that Ashlee had them do earlier.

Jake had laughed, but some of these photos were good. Evelyn looked beautiful as usual. Even though he was used to seeing her with less make up on, she still managed to pull off the modelesque make up as well. Ha these are great Seth! I wish I was there!

Evelyn had to fight to keep from gnawing her lipstick off. She made the fatal mistake of glancing at Seth and saw him frowning at Ashlee.

Oh hell. Why did I volunteer?

She tried to ignore James' breath on her neck even though it sent familiar shivers racing down her spine, and slipped her arm around his neck, failing to ignore her heart pounding away in her ears. I do not want to do this. She was glad to lean away from him, definitely, but relying on him to hold her up while she lifted one leg was not something she was going to enjoy.

She steeled her nerves and lifted her leg, wobbling and then had to lean against James' arm around her to balance herself, even though she still kept her back stiff and as distant from his body as she could. But she was still close enough to feel the heat radiating off him. I am never doing this again! Not with him!

She didn't look at James' face this whole time, and was glad to look away, trying to distance herself emotionally from him to maintain an aloof look.

Seth bit his lip as he read Jake's message. No, Jake would not like being here. Not one bit.

Seth glanced up at James' expression. Was James faking that look in his eyes as he looked down at Evelyn? Because he was an awfully good actor if he was...

Seth didn't take a picture of this shot, instead, throwing Lola a worried glance.

Lola cringed at this, she sort of knew about the whole James/Jake Evelyn love triangle thing and that a lot of their fights had been fueled because of James still liking Evelyn, but Lola knew one thing that if Jake had been here to see this he probably would have stormed onto set and kicked James' ass, and then Ashlee's.

"Perfect! Hold it guys!" Ashlee called to them taking a few shots of them in this pose. She looked down at some of the photos and boy did James and Evelyn look good together.

James felt his heart racing, as he held onto Evelyn, he couldn't explain why he felt these shivers passing through him while he held onto Evelyn but he had the urge to kiss her and he wasn't sure where it was coming from because he knew he liked... someone? His brain was sort of fogged. So he tried to remain in character while Ashlee snapped photos.

"Okay guys that's good you can drop this position. Alright this time, pretty much do the same thing but I want you two to stare at each other in the eyes, Evelyn lean into James this time instead of leaning away." Ashlee said.

James lifted his head, and pulled Evelyn in a little closer to him and focused his eyes onto her emerald ones gazing intensely at her.

Evelyn wore an expression Seth recognized. It was the wide-eyed look he tried on his mother when she forced him to sit through a charity dinner. An "FML/SOS!" look.

She wasn't looking at James but after a second of silence, she lifted her chin and gave him a cool, aloof glance that was completely at contrast with his somewhat lusty stare. Seth stifled a grin.

[[FF to Slutty Dress xD]]

Ashlee wasn't too thrilled by Evelyn's poses in the red dress. After she made Evelyn turn away from James she had cooperated more.

After she did a few more of her and James, then some of Evelyn just alone she sent Evelyn off the set to go change into her last outfit.

Which it shouldn't have had taken Evelyn that long to change.


"Lola go check on her cause we don't have much time and for this outfit I wanted you to straighten her hair." Ashlee told her.

Lola nodded and walked to the dressing room and knocked on the door, "Evelyn are you okay in there?"

Evelyn answered in a tiny squeak. "I - I'm...I'm fine but Lola...." She tried not to sound so terrified but..."This isn't a dress. Tell Ashlee that. I told her before but look." She pulled open the dressing room door and stepped back so Lola could see the [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] she was wearing under a short jacket, with spiky studded black heels that made her legs look abnormally long.

The tunic barely covered up her butt. Evelyn felt so horribly exposed. She couldn't go out there like this!

This was higher than the leather mini she had worn!

Seth replied to Jake after too long. Evelyn looks uncomfortable as hell. XD Clearly doesnt wana be here.

Lola's eyes widened as she took Evelyn in. The tunic was very short on her, and honestly judging by Evelyn's expression Lola figured this was the most revealing Evelyn had been since birth probably.

"You know despite this outfit being real short would you be mad if I said you looked really good right now?" Lola complimented her because it was true!

Although given by Evelyn's terrified reaction she knew that Evelyn was just uncomfortable.

"Oh Ash! Come here!" Lola called to her.

Ashlee had walked over to Evelyn and Lola, "What's going on?"

At this point James had seen Evelyn and was too floored to even say anything.

Jake read Seth's text and frowned. He imagined the only reason she would look pained was because she was probably uncomfortable.

Why is she freaking out for?
