Hello, everyone! I wanted to say that I am sorry for not being able to update at all this summer. I am happy that I got the internship I wanted but I did come home exhausted and simply tired from working all day. Not to say I didn't enjoy my job - but when you work in the heat all day it does drain your energy. So as of now I am working on writing a lot of chapters so I can update on a schedule. I can't make any promises though because I am starting my senior year of college and that will be my main focus. However I do not want to go months without posting an update. So I am going to be spending a lot of time - as much as I can - on writing. 

UPDATED: haha I wrote this in the beginning of August. I was definitely right though senior year has been a lot especially adjusting to being back fully in person, personal life, and an injury. I realized a lot this year and while I have been doing better my stress has gotten worse. I am now home for the holiday so I can relax and work on things for fun such as writing! 

So enjoy!

I also want to figure out how to add gifs on here so any suggestions?

Thank you all for sticking with me!

      I feel like I could be a strategist at this point. I wonder if there is a certain job that offers good money for strategist. The number of ideas and plans I had to come up within the past few hours defiantly means I deserve some type of reward. The reason I say that is this may be my best plan yet – and hopefully the last one because I need to relax.

      "Alright everyone! Please follow me! Since there is so much commotion up front, we are talking a detour!" Mr. Thetcher announced. The chaperones were discussing with a few employees and some police. Apparently, the hotel had to call in reinforcements because of the amount of non-guest and paparazzi that was wondering around.

      I glanced at Shawn signaling to him to come over. I smiled at him – hoping the smile was a convincing one since right now my nerves were on edge. "I really hope this works." Shawn whispered as he walked beside me.

      "Don't worry," Brittney said as she walked on the other side of him, "it will work." Shawn rolled his eyes with a shake of his head. The gesture earned him a light punch to the arm from my friend.

     "Ow! What was that for?" He asked rubbing his arm.

     "You rolled your eyes at me! That is very rude!" She scolded.

     I smiled at their interaction. It was weird but I liked to see how normal Shawn can be around others when he's not in the spotlight. Speaking of others, Brad and Steve were filled in on the whole thing. I glanced at the two boys walking in front of us. Steve kept looking back every now and then. His expressions were funny since he seemed excited to meet Shawn – especially since he really did not pay attention to celebrities but deemed 'it's still cool to meet him.' Brad, however, seemed a bit unsure of the whole thing, which was understandable.
