With my earbuds perfectly pushed in my ears, so the pumping music drowned the noises of the streets, I walked out the door. I had just gotten my clothes out of the dryer, so they smelled and felt really fresh.

According to my usual morning routine I have two hours left before I needed to start working again, so I could perfectly fit a casual run and a hot shower in that two hours.

I pictured the route I was going to take in my head. The events of the last few days emotionally drowned me and because of that I hadn't slept that well either, so a short run and some fresh air would definitely energize me.

I reached the park and hummed along with the song that was playing on my iPod.

When a girl came after me and tapped me on the shoulder I looked at her questioningly. She studied my face before exclaiming, "OMFG, You're Dave Franco's new girlfriend!"

I froze and noticed various gazes on me.

"You are." Another girl walking nearby said. "I saw you on TMZ!"

Confused?

Let go back to yesterday.

"Come on Cher, it's going to be alright! I'm coming over right now and we'll search together."

I knew Lola was trying to sympathize with me, but she couldn't hide the excitement in her voice. Apparently she knew the Franco's and they were really famous.

This made me feel even more stupid. I mean how come I didn't know them?

Soon Lola bounced in my apartment.

"Awh Cher. Don't be sad." She said as soon as she saw my sad expression.

"I just thought they trusted me, you know." I shrugged. "I trusted them."

"Everything is going to be alright." Lola pulled me in a hug and rubbed my back.

We sat down on the couch and I turned on my laptop. "Shall I google them?"

After a bit of logical thinking I found out James would have to be famous too. Of course he was. The odd looks I noticed when I went out with him definitely made sense now.

"If you want to." Lola smiled encouraging.

When I told her who they really were she didn't believe me, but when I explained and sent photo's she realized I was definitely not messing with her. I think she actually laughed at me for not knowing who those 'inhumanly hot actors' are. Those are her words.

"You're useless, you know that." I joked and typed in 'Dave Franco' hesitantly.

David John "Dave" Franco (born June 12, 1985) is an American television and film actor who is best known for his roles in the films 21 Jump Street, Charlie St.

I looked through some photo's and couldn't believe he was actually the guy I'd been hanging out with. He looked pretty good on some of the photo's if I may say so. "Wow. I can't believe this is actually Dave." I said more to myself.

I scrolled through his feed and found a news article which was posted this morning.

I gasped when I saw a picture of me and Dave. It was the moment I pecked him on the lips.

David  Franco was spotted yesterday with his latest fling. Or is she something more?! Rumor is that she's actually a famous fashion blogger and sticks around for his fame...

I stopped reading after that and slapped my computer shut.

How could they even say something like that?! They must've figured out who I am by now, and by spreading those awful rumors they're not really making my life any easier.
