April 2005, LondonThe ride back home was tense and filled with silence. I wanted to say so much to Emily, but the words wouldn’t come. What could I even say to her? I had no idea. From the way she kept glancing at me out of the corner of her eye, I knew she had sensed that something had shifted between us.When the car finally stopped at our destination, I got out as quickly as I could. I wanted to head straight to my room to avoid any uncomfortable conversations, but fate had other plans. BARKMy dearest…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

“Gryffindor wins!” a male voice announced over the loudspeakers. “Four hundred and fifty to one hundred and forty!”I was handed the Quidditch Cup by Madam Hooch because I was the captain of the team.“We won the Quidditch Cup!” Jamie as Ron yelled excitedly, hugging me like his life depended on it. We were both in our full Quidditch gear, soaking wet from head to toe. Our brooms lay forgotten on the ground, just like the rest of the team’s. It was meant to be raining lightly during the game,…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

Bobby walked beside me nervously as we entered the party hall. “I went through a lot of trouble to arrange this meeting for you. James Cameron isn’t an easy man to get a hold of. Do you know how many other A-listers have been trying to get in with him?”“Yeah, but there’s a difference between other A-listers and me—that’s something the industry is well aware of by now,” I shot back. “I don’t mind taking a lower pay if I like the role.”Bobby nodded in agreement. “And that’s the only…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

“Are you okay, Troy?” Chris Nolan asked worriedly as soon as he saw me inside my trailer. “I was worried sick when I heard you were in the hospital. We can postpone this part of the shoot for a few months if you’re unwell.”“Nah, I’m as good as I can be,” I said assuredly in my Joker voice. “And remember, I am Frank, not Troy.”Chris sighed. “Back to being your character, huh? And Gary was boasting that he stomped that part out of you.”I cackled maniacally before licking my lips.…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

“I hate this job,” Olivia groaned, slumping against the counter as she spoke to her colleague. “Who even buys flowers this late at night?” “Surprisingly, many people do,” Christine replied with a straight face, casually rearranging a bouquet of white lilies. “This is only your first week, and it’s been relatively slow, but you’d be surprised how many men suddenly remember their anniversary or their partner’s birthday at night. Some just want to surprise their girlfriends or wives.…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

I walked slowly in trepidation as our little apartment got closer. It was a 3-bedroom apartment that, thankfully, my father had bought in cash before his death or we’d probably have to move to a smaller home by now. I had a feeling something bad was gonna happen today. It usually does when I have a superb day at school. Yes, I was still going to elementary school. I won’t risk my education because of some bad parenting. I know that I don’t need school (at least not elementary school) with the…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

Silence. Dead silence was what I faced when my first commercial was finally seen by my family. I would have accepted shouting, berating, hell, even physical violence over this.Evan, the smartest one of all, had the presence of mind to get up, walk over to me, pat my back sympathetically (while barely concealing his laughter from me), and then go to his room.Still, my parents didn’t say anything for a few minutes, making me utterly uncomfortable.“So?” I prodded when the silence became too…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

"Bullshit!""Troy," Dad and Mum said my name in unison. Dad's voice carried a weariness that matched the late hour, while Mum's was sharp with a warning edge, the kind that always made me pause."What!?" I shot back, my frustration spilling over. "You know I'm right. They agreed to a 5% share of the musical only because I said I'd share my salary with my co-actors. And now they want a win-win situation for them? Forget it, we'll contact other studios for the musical, and is on hold till then. Did you get…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
