Ch. 1: The interview

"And on today's episode we have a very dear star, you all know her as the American Princess, Lorelei Ataya Martinez, everyone," as James Cordon said that I walked out waving to the crowds and cameras all around me. I smiled, hugging James and then sat down, waiting for the crowd to settle down.

As soon as it got quiet James looked at me and said, "how is my favorite 18 year old on this beautiful afternoon?"

I laughed at his enthusiasm, "I'm doing quite alright thank you for asking. How is my favorite British show host?" He looked at the camera and pumped his fist into the air as the crowd laughed at his antics.

He answered and we continued talking as he kept asking questions that seemed really easy. "So Lorelei I heard you were invited to the Met Gala again this year. Is there anyone you plan on bringing?" I knew this question was coming and I knew exactly what I was going to say.

"As much as I loved the Met last year I feel as though there are three other people that much deserve my invitation more than me," I said looking directly at the cameras.

James looked taken aback as he said, "and who on this planet would deserve this invite more than you, and should you technically be trading your invite for theirs or what would happen?"

I nod thinking about his questions and then answered truthfully, "I feel like the Sturniolo triplets should get my invite and I would gladly trade my invite for them all to be able to bring themselves and a friend to this years 2023 Vogue Met Gala." As I finished my words there were cheers from everywhere in the studio.

"Well you heard it here first everyone, Lorelei would rather these three boys go instead of going herself and as much as I would love to sit here and talk to this beautiful lady all day, it is the end of this interview but if you all stay here you will get to see my next guest," James says waving as I join him and we continue joking around as we make our way towards backstage.

"Do you really mean what you said about trading your invite?" James said while we walked back to the changing rooms.

I nod and say, "yeah I totally mean it. I feel as though they have earned the right especially with the fact that they have started taking over the social media world."

He nods and goes into his changing room as I continue walking to the room next door and I get in to change into some comfortable clothes. As I cleaned the makeup off of my face I started to think about the interview and everything I said.

Once I'm done with my makeup I get a notification telling me that the triplets posted a new video. I click on it and walk out of the building towards my car. I see my beautiful baby in her parking spot and I get in connecting my phone to the aux. I hear their intro song playing and as it turned off the boys started talking about what the video was about.

By the time I got to my apartment the video was just finishing and I took my phone off the aux cord quickly before Matt could scream into the camera.

A few hours pass and I have just been laying around and reading things when I get a call. "Hello?" I say waiting for the person to speak.

"Hello is this Miss. Lorelei Martinez?" The woman spoke.

"Yes this is her, is everything alright?" I ask confused on who could be calling me at 9:30 at night.

"Hi Lorelei, this is Anna Wintour a co-chair of the Met Gala and I was watching James Cordon and I couldn't help but notice how you thought that the Sturniolo triplets deserved the invite instead of you, did I hear that right?" She said with a confused tone in her voice. My eyes widened as I nodded even though I knew she couldn't see me.

"Yeah that's right,I do believe that they should get to go and enjoy that night with their friends or family," I said with confidence in my voice.

"Well I'm giving you an two options since you seem to have more power in this world then me," she chuckled as she paused, "if you would like you can trade in your invite and it can be made into three different invites for those three boys and you wouldn't have an invite anymore or you can keep the invite for yourself, so which would you like to choose?" Anna said, she sounded like she was fighting something down.

Without hesitation I said, "they can have it. I went last year and I want them to go this year," I smiled even wider as I heard her agree that it is a good idea.

"Alright, thank you very much, and just so you know just because you don't have an invite for yourself, it doesn't mean you can't still go with a friend or anything, okay?" She said. I smiled and told her goodbye as everything finally started to set in.

I just gave my invite to three boys that I have never even met. I've never talked to any of them and I only know very little from them since I just started watching them a couple days ago.
