April 2007, Los Angeles, CA, USA“I'll tell you why.”I looked from Evan to see Dad standing a few feet away with a neutral expression on his face.“They’re jealous of you.”“All of them are jealous of me?” I asked incredulously. “That doesn’t make much sense, Dad.”“Of course it does,” Dad said, emphasizing each word as he sat across from me.

Krissy stuck her head out of the line and immediately paled. It was too long.“We’re fucked,” Zoe moaned, echoing Krissy’s sentiment. “We’re in this only because of you, Krissy.”“Hey! I resent that!”“You should,” Zoe shot back. “I don’t ask for much, but when I call you near midnight and tell you to do something the next day, you do it. I mean, you go on vacation and ask your best friend to book an early Troy Armitage album, and she sleeps through the entire day.”Krissy sighed.…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

I picked up the glass of coconut water from the non-alcoholic section and took a sip, my eyes scanning the room, hoping to spot Leo somewhere in the crowd—but no luck.“Are you sure you weren’t imagining things?” Evan asked skeptically. “Because let’s face it, people like DiCaprio probably treat people our age like kids. And why would someone intentionally invite kids to their party?”I gave Evan a bored look. “Have you perhaps forgotten who I am? It might be mundane for you to talk to me,…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

“Why?” I asked Rihanna as soon as she walked into my hotel suite. “Why did you have to make it so difficult to hate you? Why couldn’t you have waited a month or two before apologizing?”Rihanna raised an eyebrow. “And what would happen in a month?”I pursed my lips, debating whether to tell her. Finally, I decided to bite the bullet. “My album will be out by then.” I paced around the room, agitated for no apparent reason.Always quick to see beneath the surface, Rihanna caught on…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

People will make up wild stories about you for…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

That’s exactly what I was thinking! Troy was such a sweet, perfect man when I met him. I couldn’t understand how he could break Rihanna’s heart like that—this obviously proves she didn’t tell the whole truth. Shame on her.FireStarter12: Poor Rihanna. Somebody call a fire truck; she just got burned badly.QuantumFox: A…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

I looked over at the bustling set, where everyone seemed too busy doing something—everyone but me.“Got your script for the day?”I turned to my left and saw my mother standing beside me, watching me curiously. This was the first time in many years we had been on set together where she wasn’t just visiting. She looked completely at ease here, the confident grin on her face making that clear.“Yeah,” I replied. “I’ve memorized it too. I’m a little nervous about it, but still, I have a feeling…- 961.0 K • Ongoing
