In the vast landscape of the City of Angels, where the splendor and glamor of celebrity intertwine, two souls find themselves connected for better or for worse.
Maya Carter, a young and unknown photography student, is a breath of fresh air to all wh...
University life in Los Angeles, with its bustling streets, sparkling lights, and diverse aspirations, provided a striking backdrop for Maya Carter's new life. Settled at the ArtCenter College of Design, she had transformed her dorm room into a creative sanctuary, blending color, music, and photography. The walls were adorned with snapshots and posters, and every corner of the room was infused with the vibrant essence of her free spirit.
On this particular evening, Maya was getting ready for a girls' night out. Luna Alvarez, her best friend since elementary school, was on her way. Laughter and whispers filled the room as the two friends prepared for a night of adventures.
"Maya, have you heard about JXDN ?" Luna asked, scanning the artist posters on the walls.
Maya let out a light sigh, her sparkling blue eyes. "Yes, I think so. Jaden Hossler, right? I really don't understand the hype around him."
Luna raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Why ?"
Maya rolled her eyes. "I don't know. He's everywhere. TikTok, music, interviews. I find it... too much. Everyone loves him, but I don't see anything special in his music."
"You have your own taste" Luna replied with a teasing smile.
The evening continued with laughter, lively discussions, and spontaneous photos. The inseparable duo navigated the streets of the City of Angels as they made their way to the party venue. Music echoed in the air, and hundreds of students were enjoying their eventful nights. Luna and Maya were welcomed by a group of girls, familiar faces from the university's lively party scene. These girls, known for their selective social circle and hypocrisy, were often the center of attention.
"Hi, Luna! How are you, my beauty? Oh, you brought Maya with you tonight," exclaimed a tall brunette, a fake smile on her lips.
Luna responded enthusiastically, but Maya's reception was icy. The glances from the other girls did not go unnoticed, and a tense atmosphere settled in.
"Maya, you remember Chelsea and the others, right?" Luna asked, ignoring the growing tension.
"Oh, of course. How could I forget?" Maya replied with forced politeness.
The girls exchanged knowing looks, creating a palpable discomfort. Hidden reproaches and fake smiles were commonplace in interactions with this group. Luna, however, seemed oblivious to this toxic atmosphere.
The party was in full swing; jabs at Maya multiplied, under the amused gaze of the other girls. Luna, still light-hearted, grabbed a drink and encouraged her best friend to do the same.
"Come on, Maya, relax a bit. It's just for fun," Luna insisted with a radiant smile.
Maya hesitated but eventually agreed. Glasses clinked, and soon, alcohol began to take effect, casting a veil of lightness over the evening.
As the night progressed, boys made their appearance. Some were familiar faces, encountered in classes or at previous parties. Luna, always in her element, introduced Maya to a few of them with enthusiasm.
The exchanges became livelier, laughter louder, and the initial tension seemed to fade in the festive Saturday night atmosphere. However, despite the apparent relaxation, Maya still felt the scrutinizing gaze of the girls' group. She felt like an outsider in this world of glamour and superficiality.

Her best friend, Luna Alvarez, was a force of nature in the university landscape. With her jet-black hair and sparkling eyes, Luna possessed a magnetic aura that instantly drew attention. She was a student with impeccable style, always at the forefront of fashion. She owned a collection of sparkling jewelry and designer bags that added a touch of glamour to her appearance. She was an avid follower of trends, capturing the very essence of university life with unmatched elegance.
Despite her luxury tastes and love for superficial things, Luna was a loyal and compassionate friend.
However, behind this dazzling facade, the young student hid a certain superficiality. She was drawn to the superficial aspects of university life, fascinated by popularity and appearances. Luna was often seen in the company of girls who were renowned for their social status and glamour, a choice that could sometimes puzzle those who knew her warm nature.
In the heat of the moment, Luna drifted away with a boy who seemed particularly drawn to her radiant energy.
Maya, finding herself alone in the midst of the crowd, was approached by a boy with a charming smile.
