A/N - kinda different chapter format but its just for this chapter. Also im pretty sure i had them going to like prom together at some point so im going to try and bring that back. 

TMZ Interview with Marie Hill about rising star Fia Sawyer now Leily Tyler 

The rising star Fia Sawyer has now changed her name to Leily Tyler. The young actress played Heather Shaw in the Black Phone two alongside her boyfriend Mason Thames. She has quickly won the hearts of millions on social media. She is now starring as Morticia in the netflix series Morticia and Gomez as well as starring as Celeana Sardothian in the upcoming HBO max series Throne Of Glass. She is the youngest producer in history as well as making a breakout in as little as 8 months with an acting, modeling, and now singing career. She is launching her own brand called All of Me. 

Leily's rise to fame hasnt been all roses and rainbows. She emancipated herself from her parents who were allegedly abusive and has supposedly cut all ties with them with the name change. Her past has now been called into question with the rising hate from Ex-Bestfriend Marie Hill who we managed to get and interview with. 

TMZ - You have been the main voice speaking out against Leily why?

Marie - She is not a good person and should not be an role model to these young girls looking up to her. She is manipulative and toxic she mentally and physically abused me while we were friends and it didnt stop even when i asked her to end our relationship.

TMZ - do you not think she has changed?

Marie - She was in middle school then and she turns sixteen in a few months but no i do not think she has changed i dont think she has the ability to change. She never apologized and continues to think she is right and plays the victim i just want to be happy again and seeing her get something she doesnt deserve makes my blood boil.

I shut my phone and rolled over groaning. Maybe this situation would die down soon. I left my room after my after filming nap and went to the living room to find Mason. He was playing video games on the couch. I crawled under his arms so i was laying on his chest. He finished his game and put down his controller.

"How was filming?" he asked stroking my hair.

"Fine i guess."

"you ok?" 

"the situation with Marie is only getting worse now she is trashing my name both old and new."

"you saw the article?"

"yeah."

"im sorry baby. You know you can speak up at any point you could even have someone else speak up." 

"i know i just dont want to deal with this i thought i left that behind years ago and the stuff she made me struggle with since to now play victim."

"i know baby."

"I have dance classes with Miguel and Gavin tonight."

"I know do you want me to come with?"

"Sure. Maybe we could improve your skills before the dance."

"I have amazing dancing skills."

"You have sub par dancing skills."

"its not my fault you have been ballroom dancing since sixth grade."

"That has nothing to do with your sub par dancing"

"yes it does if you didnt know what you know then you would think i was an amazing dancer."

"Oh really." 

"Yeah watch."

He stood up and pulled me off the couch and into him. He placed his hand on my waist and the other in his hand and i put my hand on his bicep. 

"If you were actually a good dancer you would know that your hand actually goes on my shoulder blade."

"My b my b" he said sliding his hand up sending shivers down my body. "better?" he asked with a smirk and i nodded my head. He then lead me in a few haphazard box steps before trying to spin me into a dip. 

"How was that?" he asked still holding me in the dip.

"Its a good thing im not dating you for your dancing skills" i said laughing before he pulled me up into a kiss. 

"How did you even still get to go to the dance if your not going to school there?"

"Im friends with everyone in the class and ive been going there since i was 8. Also they would get lots of publicity and i donated a nice sum of money." 

"Maybe you are manipulative." He said grinning. My face dropped. "Too far sorry." He said pulling me into a hug. 

"its ok."

We  pulled up outside of the gym where we had dance classes. The lady teaching us did monthly dance classes for middle schoolers and high schoolers who go to hybrid schools or are home schooled. I started taking classes with her in 6th grade. I talked to her about private dance lessons for Miguel Gavin and I because we have dance scenes together in out movies and neither of them have much expirience. Yes we will have classes on set but knowing some basics is helpful. She told us to come an hour before the high school dance classes and she could help us. We then decided to go ahead and stay for the actual dance class to work more and practice. 

So here I was in the gym watching Gavin keep stepping on her toes while Miguel and I danced all around the gym. Miguel picked it up pretty quick he plays guitar so he didnt have a hard time finding and staying on the beat. Gavin on the other hand was doing his best. Mason watched us from the bleachers on one side of the gym. 

People started showing up for the high school classes forty minutes into our hour. As the end of our private hour drew closer the gym was full of people watching us and talking about us in hushed whispers. Milo who was originally laying in one spot in the gym was now walking a few paces behind me sensing my unease. Mason had relocated from sitting on the bleachers to leaning against a wall where there were less people. 

Miguel and Gavin switched out with me as one song ended and the next began. We were dancing when she showed up. I watched her as she signed in and glanced around the gym. Her eyes landed on Miguel and Mason against the wall and she made her way over. The song ended and Gavin lead me over to the boys Milo was right at my heels.

"Oh my God your so funny Mason." she giggled and lightly hit his arm as i walked over. I had never seen Mason look so uncomfortable. 

"Marie. I havent seen you in forever." I said forcing myself to smile.
