Fame. It's four letters but it can change someone's life. For better or worse. It's the ring leader in life. Whether it's to gain followers, friends, or fortune. Sometimes it can ruin what people stand for. Pressure to be something or someone you do...
“I can’t believe that just happened,” I said, running my hands through my hair. I could feel my heart literally pounding out of my chest. “I know we could run into them but not that soon” I said, taking my seat belt off. “I’m not going to lie as terrifying as that was, it was fun,” Skylar smiles happily.
Skylar has always been the one who loves the thrill and adrenaline you get from danger which is why she is always seen as the fun person in our friendship. She takes risks and is not too scared to tell people where to stick it when they screw her over which is something I love about her. She’s brave and bold which sometimes makes me jealous because I wish I could be like her.
“Come on,” Skylar says, snapping me out of my daze. “I want to show you my lovely home” she jumps out of the car. “I thought we were going to get food” I pout. “I ordered pizza while you were daydreaming,” she says. “It better not have any damn pineapples on it” I said closing the car. “I love pineapples but there is no way in hell it’s going on my pizza” Skylar says locking the car.
Together we walked into the big apartment building. The lobby was beautiful. The lobby wasn’t like most lobbies that were pale white and ugly it had painting all over the walls. “You love it don’t you” Skylar grins at me. I ignore her attempt to get me to move in with her. There were paintings of sunsets, galaxies, rainforest, and dreamy clouds. “It’s beautiful,” I said, turning to face her. The lobby had great lighting and smelled wonderful. There were chandeliers and flowers everywhere. There was even a man handing out brownies.
“Hello Ms.Skylar” a man said before taking a bow. “Hey Sebastian” Skylar smiles at him. “How may I help be of assistance to you today Ms.Skylar” he smiles. “I don’t think I will need your service at the moment but I’ll call if I do” she says happily. “Well it was very nice to see you today Ms.Skylar and…” he trails off after looking at me. “Ariana but you can call me Ari” I said quickly. “Well it was lovely to meet you Ms. Ari and I will see you around Ms.Skylar” he says before walking off.
“When the hell did you get a butler?” I said as we entered the elevator. The elevator was just like the lobby it was painted. It had a little table to the side which had mints, candy, hand sanitizer, hot rags, and cookies in individual clear plastic bags by some random company. “I don’t have a butler,” Skylar laughs. “Then who was that?” I asked. “He’s a man named Sebastian who is a helper to everyone who lives here” she explains just as the elevator door opens. The hallway was decorated with fairy lights and flowers as well.
“I can’t believe you live here” I said while she took her keys to open the door. “Well when you own a successful magazine and stay in your bag things just gravitate to you” she said before opening the door. We both walked in the apartment and when I told you I was speechless. “You know what I might have to rethink that offer of yours” I half joked. “Speaking of offering if you do want to live here again I have a job position open” she says while placing her coat on the hook. “Position?” I asked curiously. “Well since you're great with photography and basically anything with art we are adding a column in the magazine where we showcase talent” she begins. “Every week we hold a contest for people of all ages to showcase their talent in our magazine or should I say my magazine'' she said. “I’ll think about it,” I said a little too excitedly.
“Anyways are you going to show me around or be a bad host and sit there eating” I roll my eyes. “I’m hungry okay watch yourself” she defends herself causing me to laugh. “Plus you have eyes, use them” she says, continuing to eat the pizza. “Can I at least have some” I chuckle. “There is a box right there for you don’t touch mine or I’ll kill you understand” she says sternly. “Yes Ms. Skylar” I mimic Sebastian causing her to laugh.
Just as I was about to dig in I looked at my phone to see that I got a message. I was about to ignore it because I knew it was probably from Tris until I realized it was an unknown number.
