AN: Based on reader response, I have edited the last few lines of Ch-142. It won't have a major impact on the chapter, but thought you should all know.__________________________SereneDreamer: So I’m officially declaring that I won’t watch any more episodes of South Park. Those guys might think that comedy has no limits, but I beg to differ. Poking fun at Troy’s reaction to the paparazzi is one thing, but making fun of sexual assault is not. I don’t even need to remind you guys that the woman they…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

Austin couldn’t be happier about the surprise that happened at Rihanna’s concert. He didn’t even like Rihanna that much and only went because his girlfriend forced him to.

"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.

Forget it, we'll contact other studios for the musical, and is on hold till then. Did you get…- 961.0 K • Ongoing
