I lounged on a beach chair under the golden sun, sipping chilled coconut water. The clear blue ocean had slow, methodical waves going through it while a soft breeze rustled the palm trees behind us. Beside me lay a girl just as breathtaking as the view, wearing nothing but sunglasses that matched my own state of undress. “I could get used to this,” she murmured, her voice languid and content. “You can come here whenever you want,” I said, stretching my arms behind my head. “I own this…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
It took a full day of flying for us to reach Nadi International Airport in Fiji, with a brief stop in Hawaii. I wish we could’ve relaxed there, maybe soaked in the sun or had a real meal that didn’t come in plastic wrap. But Hawaii wasn’t our final destination. From Nadi, we boarded a couple of noisy, cramped seaplanes for an hour-long flight to Nunayu Levu, the private island that Columbia Pictures had rented for the shooting of The Blue Lagoon. “Fucking finally!” I groaned in relief, letting…- 278.0 K • Ongoing
- “I knew you were lying, Helen.” Betty smiled viciously, keeping her voice low enough that no nearby adults would overhear. “You don’t know any celebs, let alone Harry Potter.”Helen’s hands curled into fists at her sides. She hated Betty. Betty was the one who had told everyone at school that Helen was lying about Troy being her brother. And the worst part was that she had no way to prove otherwise. No pictures. No home videos. Nothing to show the world that her older brother was actually…

- 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. This is arguably the darkest chapter in the…

- I blame my teenage hormones for agreeing to Emily’s request. Any sane person would tell me that this is a very bad idea. Kissing someone for a scene is one thing, but doing it for ‘practice’ while all alone was unnecessary and almost as bad as cheating. I knew that very well. Still, I agreed to Emily’s request for reasons that I couldn’t fathom.But it wasn’t meant to be. As if some divine power was watching over me, I got a call from Emma right at the moment when Emily was about to kiss…

- Emily sat on the ground in her designated spot. Her feet overlapped each other, and a beautiful blue bracelet set rested on her wrist, which she played with idly, drawing attention to her hand. I sat beside her, concern etched on my face.“I must have sounded pretty crazy on the phone yesterday,” she began slowly, her red-rimmed eyes adding a vulnerability to her act as she looked away from me. “You just gotta forget about it. That’s how you can help me out. Just, please, forget about it.” There…

- February 2004, Kloves Residence, LondonThe mat felt solid beneath my feet, grounding me as I circled Connor. He moved with the ease of a predator, eyes locked on mine, a smug grin on his lips. God, I hated that damn grin. I mirrored his movements nonetheless, keeping my stance low and weight balanced on the balls of my feet, as he had drilled into me. I could sense that he was ready to make a move at any time. My body was so used to his small tells by now that I would be severely disappointed if he…

- “‘Hope you have -- er -- a good holiday,’ said Hermione, looking uncertainly after Uncle Vernon, shocked that anyone could be so unpleasant. “‘Oh, I will,’ said Harry, and they were surprised at the grin that was spreading over his face. ‘They don't know we're not allowed to use magic at home. I'm going to have a lot of fun with Dudley this summer....’” “The End,” I read the last word of one of my favorite books before closing it shut. “And that’s how ends,…

- "SURPRISE!"Emma was shaken to her core when she entered the living room, only to find most of the people she cared about gathered there. Both her parents with their respective partners, her brother Alex, her step-siblings—Toby, Lucy, and Nina—and most importantly, Troy."Oh my God!" she exclaimed. "I thought you were in Los Angeles!" she said to Troy.He shrugged casually. "I took a flight back. I couldn't miss your birthday, could I?" He stepped forward and placed a chaste kiss on her lips before…

- Silence. Dead silence was what I faced when my first commercial was finally seen by my family. I would have accepted shouting, berating, hell, even physical violence over this.Evan, the smartest one of all, had the presence of mind to get up, walk over to me, pat my back sympathetically (while barely concealing his laughter from me), and then go to his room.Still, my parents didn’t say anything for a few minutes, making me utterly uncomfortable.“So?” I prodded when the silence became too…
