@SereneDreamer: If you still think Troy’s wrong, then it’s obvious you’re missing a few brain cells. You wouldn’t blame a bookie for making money off the loss of your favorite team. Sure, Troy made money, but at least he’s giving back to charity instead of hoarding it. Most of you have no idea how much $4 billion actually is. No other billionaire has ever made such a generous donation. This will probably go in the Guinness Book of World Records as the biggest donation ever. @NovaKnight: Love…- 976.8 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-51
I sat across from my soon-to-be agent and carefully read through the contract she’d handed me. It didn’t take me long to get through the pages. “Honestly, I didn’t expect the reason for you not signing me up to be this,” I said, motioning around at her new office, which looked nothing like her old one. And thank God she didn’t insist on representing me back then. For if she had, I would have lost out on a good chunk of my profits from the backend deal I had subsequently signed with Sean…- 205.3 K • 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…- 976.8 K • Ongoing

~: “Happy birthday to you!Happy birthday, dear Troy,Happy birthday to you!” :~Steve sang along with Kathy, Evan, Jamie, Emma, and a few more of Troy’s friends he had made on his film and theater sets.

Everyone clapped loudly as all the candles were extinguished.“Thank you for this surprise, everyone,” Troy said gratefully.…- 976.8 K • Ongoing

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…- 976.8 K • Ongoing

"Bullshit!""Troy," Dad and Mum said my name in unison. Dad's voice carried a weariness that matched the late hour, while Mum's was sharp with a warning edge, the kind that always made me pause."What!?" I shot back, my frustration spilling over. "You know I'm right. They agreed to a 5% share of the musical only because I said I'd share my salary with my co-actors. And now they want a win-win situation for them? Forget it, we'll contact other studios for the musical, and is on hold till then. Did you get…- 976.8 K • Ongoing

(Flashback)"There are two films in particular that I loved more than the others. The first one is called ," Benji announced. "It's a hard R-rated teen comedy, even worse than when it comes to vulgar jokes. Reading it, I felt like a schoolboy had written it—it's that accurate to what actually happens in American high schools. And the humor? Out of this world. I nearly died laughing just from reading it."I was speechless. I absolutely loved . I had to do it at all costs. Benji was right—the movie…- 976.8 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-7
“You’re lucky to even be considered for this role,” Paige said over the phone. “Of course,” I replied with exaggerated sadness. “Why would they consider this poor nobody?” “Don’t take it the wrong way,” Paige quickly explained. “I’m not doubting you. It’s just that the number of superstars they considered, and who turned it down, is too many to count.” “It says a lot about the quality of the film that so many superstars passed on it,” I joked. “True,” Paige…- 205.3 K • Ongoing

I looked over at the modest house, about a half-hour’s drive from my parents’ place. The neighborhood was quite well-off, for a woman who, at one point, had been desperate enough for money to disparage me publicly.“Are you okay, Troy?” Paolo, my head of security, asked, his tone laced with concern. “We can go back and come here later if you want.”The way he kept scanning the area for potential threats made his true worry obvious: my safety if anyone recognized me.“No,” I shook my head. “I…- 976.8 K • Ongoing
