She had previously attended the premiere of , but this was so much bigger than that. There, all the spotlight went to Troy. He probably didn’t mean to do it, but it happened because his photos do grab a lot of eyeballs.Just like they were meant to today.“Calm down, Jen,” the said boy in question assured her by taking her hand in his.…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
- April 2007, Los Angeles, CA, USA“I'll tell you why.”I looked from Evan to see Dad standing a few feet away with a neutral expression on his face.“They’re jealous of you.”“All of them are jealous of me?” I asked incredulously. “That doesn’t make much sense, Dad.”“Of course it does,” Dad said, emphasizing each word as he sat across from me. He then looked at Evan and added, “First of all, let me assure you, Evan, the film was edited masterfully. The way you built suspense and…

“So this is your new home?” Julie asked thoughtfully and looked around the living room. The place still looked a little too empty without any of my personal stuff put in. It didn’t make sense to decorate the place when I’ll be going away soon. “Yup,” I said with a nod. “Thanks for agreeing to stay here with me.” “That’s what friends are for, aren’t they?” she shot back playfully. She stepped closer, slipped her arms around my neck, and pressed her body against mine. “And…- 231.0 K • Ongoing
- “So this is your masterpiece?” Dad asked the moment I reached him, his eyes still gleaming with the afterglow of the screening. “You tell me,” I replied with a shrug, trying to sound casual. “My performance is only as good as the audience thinks.” Before Dad could reply, Mum pulled me into a tight hug, practically squeezing the breath out of me. Her voice was filled with emotion as she said, “It was simply out of this world, son. I haven’t seen this level of performance, especially in…

- We rode in silence toward my new beautiful Los Angeles home, Casa Encantada, with lush greenery everywhere, but inside the car the air felt heavy and cold. Scarlett kept her gaze fixed on the window, not looking at me. “Will you at least tell me what’s wrong?” I asked when the silence became unbearable. Scarlett, for all her natural grace and beauty, sat with her shoulders drawn tight. Her lips pressed together as though holding back words she didn’t want to say. Finally, she exhaled…

- I was back in the pool, or as I liked to think of it: home. It had been hours since I’d arrived, and I’d already practiced all four strokes a professional swimmer must master. It was getting late, and with no one else around, I decided to have some fun. I floated lazily in the water, aimless, simply because I could. I didn’t have to keep moving or control my breath like others might. I just extended my limbs and stayed afloat as if an invisible pool float rested beneath me. After a while, I…

- ~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…

- Flashback “That’s a great idea,” I said, genuinely impressed by the concept. Bruno, the representative from the Recording Academy, lit up at the praise. “Thank you! I’ve been working to bring together old and new Grammy winners for quite a while, and the golden anniversary seemed like the perfect time to do it. It feels validating to hear that from someone at your level.” I could see the flattery from a mile away. It was the kind of polite ass-kissing I had grown used to, especially…

- “Holy shit! That was the best film I’ve ever seen!” Daisy shouted the second the screen faded to black. “Language!” Mom scolded, shooting Daisy a sharp look. “We talked about this, Daisy. You need to control how you express yourself better. You’re not a kid anymore.” Daisy rolled her eyes and gave Mom a defiant stare before turning to me, throwing her hands up in frustration. “See what I have to deal with? On top of schoolwork, Zach’s nonsense, and now Mom too. You and Zach say…

- Rian couldn’t believe his luck at all. Not only had Troy Armitage read his script, but he liked it so much that he wanted to meet as soon as possible. Since it was getting late that night, Rian drove over to Troy’s big Beverly Hills home the very next morning. He was a little intimidated by the opulence of the place, but he curbed that thought. He knew that if he were successful, he could have a similar place of his own. Maybe not today, but definitely someday.“Rian!” Troy walked over in a loose…
