STS Ch-18
“Mark my words, the MPAA will flag our film just because of that guy and his abnormally large tool,” Randall grumbled, not bothering to lower his voice. Thankfully, Noah was far enough away not to catch the remark, but several nearby crew members did, their stifled chuckles giving them away. Randall pinched the bridge of his nose. “Next time I make a movie like this, I’m asking my actors to get stark naked for the auditions. Fuck the SAG rules.” “It’ll be fine,” Nestor, the director…- 278.0 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-17
We lay there silently for hours, turning over every thirty minutes at the chime of the stopwatch. The sun bore down relentlessly, but the ocean breeze softened its sting. We applied sunscreen on most of our bodies ourselves, with the sole exception of our backs. Those, we hesitantly helped each other with, laughing awkwardly at first until the tension faded. I drifted off many times during the tanning period, the warmth of the sand and sun lulling me into brief naps. After the first few minutes, all of…- 278.0 K • Ongoing

DOS Ch-310
Scarlett nervously played with the hem of her dress as the car sped through the quiet neighborhood toward her mother’s home. The morning sunlight filtered through the window, highlighting the tension in her jaw. “Will you stop that already?” I gently pulled her hand toward me and interlaced her fingers with mine. “It’s not like I haven’t met your family. I love them, they love me, so what’s the problem?” “You haven’t met all of them,” she retorted. “Believe me, it’s gonna be…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

STS Ch-16
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

STS Ch-14
“No,” I shook my head, firm but calm. “I have no intention of hiding my revenue. I’ll talk to an accountant, or maybe a tax lawyer, to structure my income better, but definitely not hiding from the IRS.” Michael leaned back on the couch, one arm draped lazily over the side as he shrugged. “Everybody does it, Noah,” he said in a casual tone. “That’s how all these Hollywood stars live their luxurious lives despite earning millions.” I frowned, mulling over his words for a bit. The…- 278.0 K • Ongoing

“You want us to do what?” Peter asked incredulously, eyes wide as he leaned back on the couch like he was trying to distance himself from the absurdity of what he’d just heard. Beside him, Ash looked equally stunned, his mouth opening slightly in a silent whoa. “Exactly what I said,” I replied, grinning at two of my best friends’ bewildered expressions. “I want you two as my assistants on the film set.” “In Fiji?” Ash asked, blinking like he needed to make sure he hadn’t…- 278.0 K • Ongoing

DOS Ch-309
~Hasa Diga Eebowai!~ The whole group of actors was singing around me, their voices rising as they danced across the stage. One of the women handed me a prop baby to cradle, and I held it awkwardly as the cast circled us. ~When the world is getting you downThere's nobody else to blame!Way oh!Raise your middle finger to the skyAnd curse His rotten name!~ “Wait, what?” I blurted out as the meaning finally clicked. Everyone else kept singing and dancing with full enthusiasm, but I stepped out of…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

@MusicGeek09: KANYE REALLY JUST DID THAT??? Bro, let the girl have her moment. Poor Taylor Swift. That was probably the most humiliating experience of her life. Troy Armitage’s speech was so good, and I totally agree with him. #GetHelpKanye. @countrygirl_amy: I’ve never seen anything so rude on live TV. Taylor deserved better. I adore her music, and it wasn’t even a big surprise that she won. Sure, Single Ladies was also good, but Beyoncé won the freaking Video of the Year award! @NovaKnight:…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

STS Ch-13
The plan Randal had come up with looked good on the surface. Genius, even. Take two immature teens who were very clearly attracted to each other and use one to get the other to do what you wanted. There was just one thing Randal hadn’t accounted for: my business savviness. Sure, I wasn’t some Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos-level mastermind, but I liked to think I knew enough about the world to see through schemes like that. The little act Randal and I pulled back on the street, him pretending to leave…- 278.0 K • Ongoing

DOS Ch-307
As soon as the first commercial break started, I stormed toward the audience, fully intending to break Kanye’s nose. The energy in the room crackled with tension, but what I saw there made me second-guess my decision. “You’re a little piece of shit!” a woman was shouting directly in Kanye West’s face. Her voice cut sharply through the noise of the crowd. “Who gave you the right to ruin someone else’s moment? God, if there weren’t thousands of people around, I’d have broken your nose,…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
