Gloria nodded her head to Amy.<br/><br/>"That is a good idea."<br/><br/>She hadn't thought of modeling, but it would help get her name out there. Maybe people would like her look, Gloria thought. Plus, she didn't think it was too difficult to wear nice clothes and let someone take her picture. As long as she was properly covered up, she'd be okay with it.<br/><br/>"Sounds good."<br/><br/>Gloria replied when Amy said she'd get her portfolio while Gloria called home. Gloria hoped that both her and Amy's dreams came true. She wasn't a selfish girl. While she wanted a big break, she certainly hoped her new friend would get one too. Gloria might be in the big city now but she had still had small town values. In a small town, people looked out for one in another. It was going to be nice to have a friend here, she thought. She wouldn't feel so alone, which she was.<br/><br/>This was the farthest that Gloria had ever been for home. It had been scary to get on that bus and leave everything she knew behind. She had debated not going at all. Marry that nice boy down the street who had a sweet smile. But...Gloria knew deep down that she'd also feel like something was missing. Even if she fell flat on her face in Hollywood, at least she could say she tried. That was better then doing nothing at all. Besides, she made a new friend. That was always a positive.<br/><br/>Gloria had a nice chat with her parents. She didn't talk to them too long. Her parents were happy she arrived safely and had made a new friend.<br/><br/>"...Yeah, Mom, you'd really like Amy. Okay, I love you too. Bye."<br/><br/>Gloria told her mother and told her she'd call again tomorrow. Her mother wanted lots of updates about Hollywood. She hung up the phone and heard Amy knock and invited her back in.
