STS Ch-52
“Well?” Bobbie prodded gently after a few seconds of silence. Julie hadn’t said a word, her hands folded tightly in her lap under the lights. I decided to answer for her. “I don’t know about Julie, but my father was furious when he found out.” Bobbie turned to me, curiosity flickering across her face. “Because of the nudity?” I shook my head. “Not really. Dad doesn’t like acting in general. He doesn’t think it’s a great profession. Or at least that’s what he used to think…- 190.4 K • Ongoing

As I walked out of the audition room, I noticed that everyone else had left, leaving just the sexy redhead receptionist behind, the same one who was currently avoiding looking at me. “Hey, Paige!” I greeted her, stopping in front of her desk. When she didn’t even look up, I added, “Still mad at me, huh? Well, I just wanted to tell you that I lost the role, so that I won’t be coming here anymore.” That did the trick of shocking her enough that she forgot she was mad at me. “What do…- 190.4 K • Ongoing

I sat across from my soon-to-be agent and carefully read through the contract she’d handed me. It didn’t take me long to get through the pages. “Honestly, I didn’t expect the reason for you not signing me up to be this,” I said, motioning around at her new office, which looked nothing like her old one. And thank God she didn’t insist on representing me back then. For if she had, I would have lost out on a good chunk of my profits from the backend deal I had subsequently signed with Sean…- 190.4 K • Ongoing

“You are very pretty, Julie,” I said honestly to the girl sitting beside me. Julie blushed visibly before ducking her head. “Oh, come on. Don’t use one of your lines on me.” “I’m not,” I insisted. “If I were using a line, I would say something like, ‘Are you sure you’re not a fallen angel? Because you have landed right into my heart.’” Julie laughed beautifully, and all her nervousness from before vanished instantly. “That wasn’t half bad,” she complimented. “I…- 190.4 K • Ongoing

It had taken me all night to pack my things. Zach and Daisy were clingy, bombarding me with so many questions that the first hour was spent answering them. “Which film are you auditioning for?”“Why didn’t you tell us?”“Does it make us less siblings that we have different fathers?”“Please don’t go. We’ll convince Dad in the morning.” I answered honestly since there was no point in hiding anything now. Eventually, they understood I had to leave. They helped me pack my essentials…- 190.4 K • Ongoing

“Action!” At Mr. Gardner’s cue, I took off across the campus, my breath steady as a steadicam operator fell into stride beside me. Renting the rig and hiring someone skilled enough to handle it had been expensive, but it was an expense I couldn’t cut. I had a very specific vision for this scene, and without a steadicam, it simply wouldn’t work. Some things were non-negotiable, even on a micro-budget. Every other outdoor scene had already been shot. This was the last one, held back only…- 190.4 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-49
It surprised Al Pacino to learn that a mere 18-year-old had written such an impressive story. When Noah left the script for him that day, Al had been irritated. It wasn’t the first time an acquaintance had tried to corner him into working together, and he was usually very good at shutting those attempts down. Still, there was something about Noah that stirred his curiosity. If the boy had managed to sell a script to Columbia and earn enough money to buy a house right next to his, he couldn’t be…- 190.4 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-48
I cut cleanly through the water until I reached the end of the lane, flipped into a smooth turn, and powered back toward the starting block. As I touched the wall, my teammate launched himself forward to face swimmers from the other Ivy League schools. As good a swimmer as I was, there was nothing more I could do once my leg of the relay ended. If I really wanted to, I could temporarily boost my teammates, the same way I had helped Julie while filming The Blue Lagoon. But that would’ve been pushing…- 190.4 K • Ongoing

“Sam, this is my final selection,” Randal said, handing the list to the producer when they were alone in the room. “What do you think?” “I knew you’d include that Noah kid,” Samuel crowed. “What’s the deal? Is he sleeping with you, or do you want to sleep with him? Is that why you’re so insistent on him?” Randal, having grown a thick skin after years in Hollywood, simply rolled his eyes. “Imagine if we were auditioning for Emmeline and the girl took off her shirt. Would you…- 190.4 K • Ongoing

“You’re lucky to even be considered for this role,” Paige said over the phone. “Of course,” I replied with exaggerated sadness. “Why would they consider this poor nobody?” “Don’t take it the wrong way,” Paige quickly explained. “I’m not doubting you. It’s just that the number of superstars they considered, and who turned it down, is too many to count.” “It says a lot about the quality of the film that so many superstars passed on it,” I joked. “True,” Paige…- 190.4 K • Ongoing
