Act like your world isn't changing in the blink of an eye.

Put on a smile and pretend everything is okay, even if it's far from the truth.

The camera is watching.

People are watching.

They are waiting for you to say something.

Say something.

Show them you can't be fucked with.

You will not be fucked with.

"I'm back! Did you miss me? I missed you." Moonlight flashed her best Oscar-winning smile. "And what better way to celebrate being back home than being at Coachella, causing some havoc!"

Scratch that... that's not me. The whole world already saw me at my lowest, so why pretend they didn't? Why act like everything's rainbows and gummy bears just 72 hours after getting released? It's not. It's thunder and rainstorms, and that's okay. No one expects me to bounce back immediately, so why am I carrying that expectation? I'm done letting my demons eat at me. I'm out of jail, cut ties with my parents, and have a clean slate. It's time to turn this around and be the kid I never got to be.

"Moonlight?" Snap back. "Are you okay?"

"Can we start over?" Moonlight looked at the camera operator Brian had hired as his first move as her official manager. "Hey guys, um, my name is Moonlight Monroe, and I'm 16 years old. If you know about me, then you know. And if this is your first time seeing me, then hi, I guess. I'm just taking this moment to introduce the real me—not the person I was forced or pretended to be. I'm honestly a good person. So I guess this is where we start." Moonlight offered a genuine smile. "My team had a whole plan for my first day at Coachella, but I want to change it up and go food tasting. I haven't had real food in forever, and I heard the food trucks at Coachella are bomb. So, where do we start?"
