Cuz Baby You're a Shining Star

I'm going to say this, as nicely as possibly to myself. I should be doing homework. I will turn to the PDF and away from Word and stop typing this. I just typed this in like the last 20 minutes out of boredom.... Yipppe. If you like it, comment. If you don't, well don't.

Stars Aren’t a Part of Reality

“Invitation network is churning out stars faster than Disney ever did” the headline read.

“What is with Invitation Media network? Everything about it sounds so fake. They have a slew of new TV shows for the summer and fall. Where do they even get the money and time for this? You should see the May sweeps this year. They’re all about the new shows in invitation. It’s like the new CW meets Glee,” I stated as I scanned through the article in my Invite magazine subscription (a totally different association from Invitation Media network, but also division of the same Enterprise). “Haley, you have to read this,” I scoffed as I handed her the magazine.

“An Invitation to New Shows” by Brenda Marks

Invitation Network has two new shows, as of now, slated for a June release. They will cover Invitation’s new summer programming, cryptically called “Summer of Scandal”.

 Never Been Here is the show Invitation Media is pushing for and crazy-promoting. It circles around Aaron Eastwood (portrayed by Invitation newbie Melissa Hanks) as a tomboy girl who finds herself thrust in a world of glamour when her family moves to L.A. to star in a reality show about the struggles of a typical family life. A short promo has just premiered on Invitation’s website and has been going viral around YouTube. The clip seems enticing, featuring a humorous narrative showing off Melissa’s ability to do comedy (Melissa’s previous TV and Movie credits have laid with short cameos in CSI and horror flicks). “As if some miracle for the rugby team on the opposing side happened, my family got a reality TV show. I mean, whose family does that? A reality show?” Just 45 seconds long, the promo gives a glance at the sure to be summer hit Never Been Here. We aren’t sure where the scandal ensues on this show, but we’re almost too sure that tomboy Aaron will clash with some reality TV prissies during her Hollywood tour. Never Been Here will air Monday, June 19^th at 8/7 central with new episodes every week until August.

The Secrets in Months is another show produced by Invitation Media, a TV adaptation of Robin Brinkley’s The Secrets of April, May, and June. If you haven’t read the book, we almost too strongly suggest you do so. Not much more is known about the show just yet, but a slew of information will be given at the Invitation press conference tomorrow.

the essential death

I really should be cramming for my foreign language test tomorrow. Well, I'm not. I have no idea about this story. It popped up into my head. I came up with names. Oh yay, we have a few lines of dialog and a weird and ambiguous opening paragraph.

Now time for ever boring premises of the story. the girl might be a vampire. she might be a normal teenage girl. maybe a girl that was kidnapped? She could be the sparkling tooth fairy held captive for all I know. If you've bothered to read my other stories, you know that my opening are confusing and just plain open ended. Like a suckish opening cliffhanger in a way?

Oh, and I know this is flooded with sentence fragments. Yays!

The whole random thing about Bryce and Blythe, something dumb that came up in my head. And no, before you call me one of the most predictable wannabe authoresses out there, Blythe did not kill Bryce. One of the things I hate being is predictable. Especially when story writing. So this story might not make any sense to you, and  I should probably be studying instead of typing this intro you're probably going to skip, and just study for my test. Wow, there are a lot of run-ons and fragments in this stupid thing. Well, nonetheless, onto the story-ish:

the essential death

(random A/N: Wow I come up with weird philosophical and depressing titles for my stories)

There was a thick tension in the air; something you couldn’t penetrate. The air was like a wall standing before them, but just there. One could find it hard to breathe in such a place, as the air held words of malice, strung into something so essential for life. But that something so essential can kill you.

          “A small price to pay for a favor, Sophorina,” He tapped this finger against the chair, every period between seeming like another era.

          “What can you possibly do?”The words stated, dutifully.
          “There is one thing,” He looked up, revealing calm, yet eerie eyes, eyes that scared you to whim. The kind of eyes that can kill you. The kind of eyes about to kill you. “Kill him.” Those words were said lightly, perhaps nonchalantly, but they tortured 

a person until the last syllable was said and done.

~Chapter One~

“We are all here today to mourn the death of Bryce Kenward. We are all deeply saddened by this death. May he rest in peace,”

Blythe’s hat covered most of her face, an egotistic smirk placed onto it. So he was really dead? She removed her gloves and made her way to the casket.

 

Thruths and Dares: Writing this was like a failed dare to myself

Truth or Dare? 

This game played by so many can also be so dangerous. I never like the game myself - it was overrated and predictable. 

So writing this - no reading this is hilarious. It's like a twisted love thingy that glee uses way too often. And so, let the wincing and eye rolling commence: Do you dare to read it?

Popcorn spilled everywhere. Pillows were scattered. Phones were in hands. Texts were connected from one phone to the other.

Janelle: yea. Sure.. wanna crash the sleep ova?

Alex: mayb. Matt mite com

Janelle: uh-huh.. erica n lucia wants 2 play truth or dare. Wat do u think?

Alex: do u want eric 2 com?

Janelle: who's wit u rite now

Alex: matt, eric, jas, derek, marc, steve. drew

Janelle: ya.. jus take them 2 e's.

Alex: parents?

Janelle: out... where like 12.. no duh.. bsides, melly and jare r here. So's most of the teens. The r babysittin us.

Alex: c u in a few

“They're coming,” Janelle announced.

“Awesome” Tiff held out a poland spring bottle. “Remeber nothing disgusting. A.K.A PG13. Though not too G. Don't make one of the teens to come and monitor,”

“So should we get another bag of popcorn going? Extra butter and sweet?” Erica inquired.

“Go ahead. Plug in your iPod Rebecca. Truth or Dare playlist.” Janelle said. The doorbell rang.

“Could you get that Serena?” Tiffay said and set the bottle in the middle of the short table that was surrounded by level beanbags.

Serena walked into the hall. Erica came in with a few more bowls of popcorn. Alex, Matt, Eric, Jason, and Derek came in. The seating chart, was placed in no suggestive order. But as you people know, henious love triangles, (or squares) are in existence in high school. It's even harder when friendship and secrets linger.

The BREAKDOWN:

Love Shapes (Hexagons, Pentagons, Squares, Triangles):

Alex and Janelle are '<3'

Eric 'somewhat likes' Lucia

Lucia is 'best friends' with Erica

Serena has dated everyone but Derek and Andrew

Derek likes Melissa

Costumes&Masquerades& and my fun poking fun at gossip girl (1.06)

Yet another unfinished story  (gasp). How many of these do you have? Well, I have like a folder filled with them. I'll reveal the name of the folder later, when I feel like it.

So the whole title was gossip girl inspired, think 1.06, The Handmaidens Tale. The girl, Serena, is like a mirroring image of Jenny, despite the name.

Oh, and by the way, this was supposed to be in my, the endless, but the title and concept was just scrapped.

so anyways, 

Costumes&Masquerades

“Thank you Arnold,” I slammed the door and walked through the gates of Atlantic Creek Academy. Taking a step through the doors of the school, I ran my hand through my pure brown hair. There was a roundish counter with a bunch of high school looking people. I approached a blonde haired girl with a name tag that said Melody Woods sitting at the right edge of the counter.

“Could you please tell me where 6^th grade orienta-,” Melody cut me off.

“Through those double doors make a left then a right. Go in to room 107 and talk to a teacher sitting at a table. They'll give you all the information you need. If you still have any trouble navigating for the first few days you can talk to a teacher or check the SPIM,” She pointed to a set of double doors on her left and turned to a miniature version of her.

Walking slowly I turned right then left, or was it left then right? Somehow I ended up near room 117, the hospital, aka, nurses office. I went inside hoping for some help. Instead I saw a girl with a drenched pale face and a bloody bandages. When I say bloody, I mean bloody. Not red marker drawn all over the sling. I mean real type B blood.

“Um how do I get to room 107?” I asked looking at the tiled floor. Blood made me a little nauseous

“Walk down the hall make your way to the front counter and then make a left then a right,” Nurse Sephal told me unwinding the girl's bandages. I thanked her and walked out. It was going to be a long day.

At lunch I grabbed my tray with a salad and smoothie and went into a divided section. Yes this school has individual separated lunchrooms. I went into the section that said, Room 4 : Twilight Lounge, It's the sunset theme, not the successful book or movie. I sat down in a deep orange colored booth. I took out my phone and began texting like the girls in surrounding booths.

Bridget: Hey Carrie u there?

Carrie: uh-huh. I'm sneaking my phone during science.

Bridget: nice

Carrie: thx, so what's up?

Bridget: New skool. Thats whats up.

Carrie: Ouch. G2g sci teacher coming my way.

Bridget: text u l8r

“Hello do you mind if I sit here?” The girl with bandages from this morning was standing in front of me and her one good hand holding her unbalanced tray.

“Sure, I'm Bridget,” She sat down on the opposite side of me.

“Kaitlyn,” She responded picking up her milk.

“So, Kaitlyn, do you know anyone here?” I said trying to make some conversion.

“Other than you, my friends, everyone from my old school, the nurse, a teacher, and some high schooler in the front counter, then yes.” She smiled warmly “Oh and you might be wondering why I was wearing bandaged smeared with blood. You see I'm a total klutz so this morning on the steps I tripped and I hit my arm against a sharp edge and some glass, and well here's a bloody arm,” Kailtyn laughed. She seemed the kind of person that was happy and bubbly all the time.

“Well I was wondering that. I just didn't want to prod the question,” I returned her laugh and took a bite out of my salad.

“Hmm. You got an answer anyway whether you wanted to or not!” Kaitlyn seemed fearless. She said things with such strength and no strain of worry in every enunciated word. “So do you know anyone here?”

“I just moved down here from NYC,”

“Interesting,” She smiled. A petite red haired girl walked past us. “Laurie meet Bridget, Bridget meet my friend Laurie,”

“Hiya! I'm Laurie, Laurie Elaine Crimson. Its so nice to meet ya. This school has so many peope. Gosh IDK how I'm ever going to meet everyone. Oh well I already now half the school, in half a school day. Katie, look its the posse, or the clique,” She gestured to 3 girls making their way over. One brunnete, another red head, and a blonde.

“You're sitting in my seat,” The brunnete told me flicking her black nail polished finger.

“You know Mikayla you can ask. Nicely!” Laurie retorted back at Mikayla.

“Yes Laurie. We could've asked, but we didn't,” The blonde girl said.

“Serena, please, I wasn't talking to you nobody would ever talk to you of course,” Laurie smiled, knowing her comeback would hit her.

“You don't ever talk to anybody like that,” The read head spoke after a while of just standing there, arms crossed.

“Sophie, just stand there and don't talk,” Laurie reprimanded

Mikayla gasped. I was guessing she was the leader. “What ev, come on girls lets go into another room,”

Laurie took out her phone and began texting. I peered over her phone.

laurie56xoc: leaving so soon?

sophiesticated: w/e. Stay out of my life, and don't tell anyone what happened to Rena.

laurie56xoc: I'm not that evil. I'm not that stupid. Ill think about it. Just so you know Katie is the last thing on the planet that would give you a bloody cast

sophiesticated: I wouldn't be so sure about that. :)

laurie56xoc: me either. R u sure I wont tell?

sophiesticated: ill make sure of it personally.

“What was that?” I asked wanting to get a perfectly formulated answer.
