Steve drove over to the school with Kathy as fast as he could as soon as he received the call from Troy’s school.“Troy!” Kathy rushed over to her son and hugged him for dear life, only for him to groan in pain. She reluctantly separated from her son, only to see that Troy was holding his ribs painfully. His right eye was swollen shut, and despite his attempt to smile at her, He looked to be in a lot of pain. His right cheek was also slowly turning a darker shade.“Who did this?” Steve turned…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

“$1 million,” Mum replied.“Holy…” I stopped myself before Mum could intensify her gaze any more. “Didn’t Dad say that musical rights are cheaper?”“Your Dad doesn’t know everything.” Mum smiled, “It all depends on the perceived value of the product.

Tobias was an alright fellow, I guess. I'm still a little miffed that his duties were curtailed to become more or less my babysitter by my mother. Not that I'd let him stay that way. Honestly, I'm surprised my mother let me hire him. No one can deny that it is past time that I got a team of my own, but hiring anyone new permanently meant a great reduction in my mother's duties, which she saw as me growing up. When I first floated the idea to her after receiving Tobias' email, she had literally cried. I…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

January 2005, Phoenix, ArizonaI took a generous amount of my special blend of face cream and carefully applied it to my skin. I like to think that I’m not that vain, but I have to maintain an image while going out. Although I’m not expecting paparazzi or reporters here in Phoenix, you never know.“I think you are overdoing it for this date,” Tobias commented from behind me.I looked at him through the mirror and said, “It’s not a date. Emily invited me to hang out with a group of her friends. I…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

November 2006, San Francisco, CA, USA“Thank you for flying all the way here for this meeting,” Eric Schmidt greeted our group warmly. “Honestly, I was a little surprised to learn that you owned YouTube, Troy. You’ve kept it carefully under wraps until now.”I shrugged casually. “It’s only a secret for two more months. Once I turn 18 in January, it’s bound to come out—or so my lawyers tell me.”“True.” Eric nodded before turning to the three founders beside me. “It’s a pleasure to…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

May 2007, New York City, NY, USA“Woah, this is crazy, Benji,” Oliver called out, clearly impressed as he ran a hand along the gleaming side of a silver Aston Martin. “Who would've thought you’d own one before your 20th birthday? And all because you were obsessed with another boy all these years.” He turned to Sophia with a smirk. “Talk about repressed homosexuality.”Sophia laughed, as if Oliver had just delivered a punchline. She leaned into his arm. “You’re too funny, Oliver.”Benji…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

“Congratulations on your wins tonight, Troy,” a female reporter called out as soon as I stepped into the press area for post-win interviews. “Thank you,” I replied, offering a calm, gracious smile. She wasted no time in making me regret coming here. “My question to you is this: Isn’t it hypocrisy when you perform so openly with Michael Jackson, who is infamous for sleeping with kids the same age that your charity is trying to save? How is it fair that you accused Epstein of heinous crimes…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

“Troy,” Peter, my dance instructor, called out to me when the class was over, “Is by any chance any of your parents here to pick you up?”That question sent a shiver down my spine. After all his full name is Peter Darling. Who in their right mind would continue using such a horrendous family name?“Yes, usually my Mum comes.” I answered with uncertainty, “She must be waiting outside. Is there a problem?”While I didn’t show anything on my face, I was ready to run away and shout at a moment's…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

The 73rd Academy Awards were to take place on March 25, 2001. It had been more than a month since the BAFTA had been aired, and the most heated race of the year was the category of Best Actor. Usually, the precursor awards are a good indicator as to who is most likely to win, but the awards till now have been very divisive. The Golden Globes gave out two awards, one to Troy Armitage for Drama, and one to George Clooney for Comedy. The problem here was that George Clooney wasn’t even nominated for the…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
