It was in the evening that I got some very good news. News, that immediately made me forget about the troubles of the school day, be it my best friend, my classmates, or the media problem. All paled in comparison to what Steve told me. “Is it true? You aren’t joking, right?” I asked again excitedly. Steve chuckled at my enthusiasm, “You remember my friend Barry Mendel? We met at Sundance in January?” I nodded enthusiastically, “Yes. He was the one who is around your age but has those…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

September 2006, Kloves Residence, London I had thought that after my conversation with Mum, things would be fine. I was wrong. Dad, who had been in Los Angeles for work for the past few weeks, was finally back home—and he wasted no time berating me all over again. “You’re being obtuse,” he said, disappointment evident in his tone. “Did you forget that by pushing this idea, you’re not just hurting Warner Bros., but us as well? You get 10% of ’s revenue. If you breach the contract on your…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

June 2006, British Virgin IslandsI lounged on the vast, sandy shore stretching as far as the eye could see, wearing nothing but a pair of sunglasses. The sun's rays tanned my body perfectly from head to toe.“For the love of God, can’t you at least wear some trunks?” a female voice said, irritation clear in her tone.I tilted my head slightly toward the speaker, the girl I had met only recently. Nadia Anton, Evan’s girlfriend, was undeniably beautiful, with a buxom figure and wavy blonde hair…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

I woke up Monday morning with a huge yawn and stretched my body lazily getting out all the kinks. That weekend was a crazy one. After spending Saturday at Universal Studios with Evan's family, my parents came home on Sunday and decided to have a dinner outing. They invited the Spaders as well, as a thank you for taking care of me during the weekend. Together we went out to this amazing Indian restaurant. The music and the ambiance were great and they played a very upbeat tune in Hindi and encouraged the…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

“Maintain your note for ten seconds, then give a pause for five then continue with next. Start with C, then C-sharp, D, D-sharp, and so on till you reach F-sharp.” Mr. Tanner instructed. I cleared my throat for good measure and began my practice. Practicing vocals with a coach was so much different from working alone. My previous coach didn’t have much experience with singing herself. She covered the basics of notes and voice pitch well enough but after that, even I with my limited experience…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

“You want to buy shares of Yahoo?” Steve asked in confirmation. I nodded, “Yes, it is an emerging stock in the current market and is soon expected to enter the Fortune 500 companies. It provides excellent solutions to people searching for things on the Internet. Last year, they introduced their free email service to everyone with internet access with near-instant messaging. So I feel that their future prospects are good as young people want to work more with computers and the internet than with…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

I was walking from the Immigration zone towards the waiting area, dragging my red suitcase, my eyes taking in every face looking for two particular ones that I wanted to see more than anything else at the moment.“Troy!”I turned my head towards the familiar voice. Standing right there were Steve and Kathy. I picked up my pace as I almost ran towards the couple, balancing the suitcase carefully. As soon as I reached them, Kathy opened her arms for a hug and I literally rammed into her and hugged her for…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

I walked slowly in trepidation as our little apartment got closer. It was a 3-bedroom apartment that, thankfully, my father had bought in cash before his death or we’d probably have to move to a smaller home by now. I had a feeling something bad was gonna happen today. It usually does when I have a superb day at school. Yes, I was still going to elementary school. I won’t risk my education because of some bad parenting. I know that I don’t need school (at least not elementary school) with the…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

April 2011, Casa Encantada, Los Angeles, CA, USA “Hahaha!” The little tyke sitting on my back laughed as if this was the most fun he’d had in his short life, which was probably true. “Yes, Ace.” I grinned at the thought of my son having so much fun with me and continued running on all fours in the backyard. “You and Dada will defeat Ian and Uncle Evan.” “Stop trying to make your kids so competitive,” Evan shot back while running beside me in the same position. “If I left…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
