Benji Cooper was sick of his school. He was always the odd one out, and the last person to be selected in any event, be it sports, academic projects, or something artsy. He just didn’t get along with kids his age. Not to mention, his school had a little bullying problem that he found himself on the wrong end of sometimes.But all that could be easily forgotten when he did what he loved: watching movies. It was an escape from reality for him, living in the world of movies that took him anywhere from…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

The three men sitting in front of me, all wearing confident grins, made it clear that this negotiation wouldn’t be easy.“I think half a million would be the perfect remuneration for you,” David Friendly, the man on the far left, said. He was in his fifties, with a stocky build and a round face.“Absolutely,” Peter Saraf, seated in the middle, agreed. He looked similar to David in terms of age and build. “You know we only have an $8 million budget after accounting for state subsidies. So half a…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

Jason glanced at the girl beside him, noticing how tense she seemed.“It’s okay, it’s just a movie, sis,” he said softly. “Even if we don’t get tickets right now, we’ll get them for tomorrow.”“You don’t understand, Jason!” Mira shot back, her tone heated. “I’m not some stupid fangirl watching this film just for Troy’s sake. I’m watching it because I’m a cinephile, and that guy cannot be in a bad movie. The rave reviews this film got more than prove my point. I can’t wait…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

AN: This chapter mostly contains the reaction to the Half Blood Prince. You can skip it if it's not up to your liking. __________________________________ “What’s so special about this film that sets it apart from others in the series?” “The stakes are higher than ever,” Troy Armitage replied in a serious tone. “The best part about the film is the absence of the Dark Lord Voldemort’s direct presence, yet his influence is felt throughout.

I was walking from the Immigration zone towards the waiting area, dragging my red suitcase, my eyes taking in every face looking for two particular ones that I wanted to see more than anything else at the moment.“Troy!”I turned my head towards the familiar voice.

As soon as I reached them, Kathy opened her arms for a hug and I literally rammed into her and hugged her for…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

I felt empty. I’m not trying to be deep or emo, but I really felt purposeless at the moment. What else was left for me to gain at this point by continuing to act? I had already achieved all the highest honors in acting that any actor would want in their life. True, I could yearn for a Grammy to finish my EGOT, but at the moment, I couldn’t think beyond the two Tony trophies I had with me—one for acting, and one for Best Musical. While legally my father may have been the producer of the show, he…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

“Please do this for me, Emma,” Troy begged over the phone. “We don’t have an actress for the role of Sam. You said you love the role, so what’s the problem?”Emma took in a deep breath before saying, “The problem is that I’m going on a trip with my dad’s family during the same time you want me to shoot the film.”“You can go on a trip in September,” Troy offered. “I will be going then as well. We can go together if your family doesn’t want to.”“We’ve already made plans,…- 961.0 K • Ongoing
