Rule number one,
Is that you gotta have fun
But, baby, when you're done,
You gotta be the first to run

NIALL HORAN'S SISTER CREATES SCANDAL IN THE CITY, the gossip headlines screamed at Scarlett, and she couldn't help but chuckle as she took a sip of her coffee.
She scrolled down the web page, and clicked on the link that would take her to the main article. When the page loaded, Scarlett was not surprised to see a picture of herself in her little black dress edged with ruffles, tugging Jason along behind her. She leaned in closer to her laptop, carefully reading the article, seeing what they were publishing about her this week.
The adopted sister of Niall Horan -- one of the members of world-famous boyband One Direction -- Scarlett Horan, was spotted outside the Four Seasons Hotel, with a mysterious piece of arm candy along with her. Who's the mysterious beau of the week, we wonder?
The female Horan is always spotted with almost a new man every week, and we can't help but wonder each time whether it will last for longer than a month. But it never does, and with her revealing outfits and bright and sultry red lipstick, this girl is leaving a steady stream of broken hearts behind her as she makes her way into the world.
Got any predictions for Scarlett's next target? Perhaps the cutie Logan Lerman? Or maybe she's got her mind set on Taylor Lautner! Leave your thoughts below!
Scarlett scoffed bitterly, as she read some of the comments.
If only they knew.
That's what everyone wants, isn't it? For everyone to know who they really are.
But truthfully, Scarlett would rather stay the way that she is portrayed now. It creates a disguise for her. She'd prefer them to see the supposed slut and whore that she becomes in public, rather than see who she really is.
Besides, Scarlett prefers the term "professional heart breaker".
Jason and Scarlett had actually broken up later that night, and had been seeing each other -- if you want to put it in polite, socially-appropriate terms -- for the previous two weeks. But she was done with him. It was definitely time to leave him out with the trash.
She sipped her coffee, and opened the tab of her web browser that held Twitter, the things-said-in-140-characters-or-less social networking website.
When you have a reputation as a heart breaker to keep up, she thinks that you should stay on top of things at all times.
You shouldn't let newspaper headlines and gossip pages trap you in the undertow of the river that is life, and in order to stay afloat you need to stay on top of the water -- also known as the gossip.
She refreshed her timeline, but before she could read any of the tweets or check what was trending worldwide, her laptop beeped, letting her know she had a notification. Scarlett scanned the screen, and a blue light had gone over her profile button, letting her know she had a direct message.
She rolled her eyes, as she realized it was from her overly-protective older brother. Of course she loved him to bits, but sometimes he butted in way too much. She was nineteen years old, more than capable of taking care of herself. She had learned to do that way too early.
@NiallOfficial: scar, what u doing?
She sighed, as she set down her mug of coffee on the table. She flicked a couple strands of her blonde hair over her shoulder, as she typed a response.
