February 2009, Stratford, Ontario, Canada Justin walked forward with light steps, already dreading what was waiting for him. He had a strong feeling that he was about to get the reprimand of a lifetime, thanks to the asshole who had become his new French teacher. So what if he had skipped a class or two? It wasn’t like he was the only one who did that. Still, he was ninety percent sure Mr. Raphael had already called his mother, and once she got a call from school, she never failed to make his life a…- 930.1 K • Ongoing
- “So, how are things?” I asked Andrew, who was sprawled lazily on a floating bed in his pool, soaking up the Californian sun. His sunglasses gleamed, and a half-empty glass of whiskey rested precariously on the ledge nearby. “Troy! Come join me,” he called out, gesturing toward another bed. A bikini-clad woman was stretched out on it, her toned legs glistening with sunscreen. Calling her a woman felt like a stretch, for she couldn’t have been older than nineteen or twenty. “Why don’t you…

- Hermione broke down into sobs, and the way Harry pulled her into a hug made the moment even more heartbreaking for the audience. Rod really appreciated how much the acting across the trio had improved over the years. Ron completely stole the scene with the raw intensity of his outburst, while Hermione’s breakdown felt painfully real, the kind of emotion that didn’t seem acted at all. Harry and Hermione waited for Ron for an entire day, hoping he’d return. When he didn’t, they finally packed…

- Tobias sat across from a plump middle-aged woman named Erica in a cozy, secluded booth in a cafe near her home in Buckinghamshire, England. She stared at him with wide eyes after listening to his offer. "I can't believe it." She shook her head slowly, still in disbelief. "I write fanfiction. Not some great piece of literature. Why would one of the world's biggest entertainment companies be interested in my story?" Tobias kept his expression calm, though inside he was wondering the same thing. And…

- “Hey, Olive!” I called out, stepping out of the pool, dripping wet and wearing nothing but a pair of short swimming trunks that barely hid my modesty. The costume department had given me two options: long board shorts that hung past my knees, or something on the shorter side. I’d gone with the latter. If I were going to do fan service, I might as well commit to it properly. “You left your glass slipper at the party the other night,” I said, toweling myself off slowly. “Yeah, and I got…

- Austin was practically glued to his computer screen, refreshing the page of his new favorite browser, Chrome, with the fervor of someone trying to summon a miracle. For the past few days, he had been doing this every few hours, hoping that somehow, somewhere, a stray ticket might appear. “Leave it,” Marissa said from beside him, lounging on the couch with her phone in hand. “It’s no use. You just weren’t lucky enough to get the seats. Accept it.” Austin shot her a glare sharp enough to…

- “Congratulations on your win tonight, Troy.” “Thank you,” I said blandly, already losing count of how many times I’d heard that line over the last few hours. As much as I wanted to go home, collapse on my bed, and sleep for an entire day, appearances had to be maintained, or so I’d been told repeatedly by my publicist. Though I barely listen to him in most matters, this time I did. “What are your plans for the future? Can I interest you with a script I have ready? You seem perfect…

- May 2010, Los Angeles, CA, USA I held the phone close to my ear as the man on the other side explained how things stood. “We’ve finished pre-production on , and we’ll begin shooting next week,” Tobias said, his tone almost clinical. “Lily Collins has been cast in the lead role, opposite Henry Cavill as the prince, with Charlize Theron playing the evil stepmother. We’ve even cast seven real life dwarf actors as the dwarves. Once filming begins, , , , and will follow shortly after, in that…

- A reporter offered a mic to Emily. “Emma Stone, congratulations on . It is one of the biggest movies of the year, grossing nearly $800 million.” “Thank you,” Emily nodded graciously. “If you’ve been keeping up with the news, you’d know about the story that broke out regarding Harvey Weinstein, which has started a new conversation about workplace harassment in showbiz. Did you ever have to face any kind of harassment during your time in Hollywood?” the reporter asked. Emily…

- ~All those days chasing down a daydream All those years living in a blur All that time, never truly seeing Things the way they were~ I looked directly into the eyes of the most beautiful girl I had ever seen and continued singing, pouring my heart, soul, and every part of myself into the notes. ~Now she's here, shining in the starlight Now she's here, suddenly I know If she's here, it's crystal clear I'm where I'm meant to go~ When I reached the next verse, I gently took…
