Day 1 Part 2: Ariel

' Come to my house- quick' I told her.

'There's something I want to discuss'

~~~

Loren is ringing on my doorbell a minute later.
Us Being neighbors is no problem. We've known each other since we were three. Loren and I went to the same preschool together, and practically are sisters.

Loren is the reason I started musical.ly. And to have our favorite app destroyed is a no no.

'Come in' I say, not even needing to.

Loren comes into my house, not looking very happy.

I promised her, that everything would work out.

'Well so let's-'

Loren interrupts me with her hand.
'Whatever you want to say make it good, I don't fancy wasting my time on talking.'

Yikes. She's not normally like this.

'Yes Yes Lady Loren' I roll my eyes.

We walk into the tv room which awaits my laptop and my phone.

I sit down, Loren does too, and I log on to the musical.ly website.

When she realizes what I'm doing, she sighs.

'You know that I do KNOW what's going on?!'

'Yeah' I reply, but have you read the bio?'

She nods, taking a sip of coffee my servant brought to her.

Living In Malibu was hard. After my fame rocketed last month, my family, and Loren's were forced to move out of our hometown and to here.

Our security was increased full time, that including my parents somehow hiring servants.
I hated it, Loren loved it. Her name is now 'Lady Loren' to many people... Including people I personally don't get on with.

Loren has changed, and it was obvious.

'I don't need to memorize those stupid silly letters on the bio' she spat, shifting in her seat. 'The MZ, LB, ZC, SJ- '

'JS' I correct her.

Without looking, I can feel her eyes on me as I go back to the screen. I point to it.

'See!' I say. 'Hack.ly is German.'

Loren's face goes pale.

I just remembered something.

The group she now hangs out with was international too. Them people I don't like. They wear uniformly colors too.

'Loren, those people you hang out with-'

'They're from Czech Republic' she confirms. 'Not German'

Right. I go back to the screen thinking of the letter in the news.

Our bio is a clue

How about a little collab? Reunited friends? Perhaps a little competition?

I look at the bio, 2 letters.
What could have 2 letters?

Then it hit me. Initials.

LB
LOREN BEECH

'Loren!' I Yelp.

'Sup that's me' she says sarcastically. I roll my eyes.

'There's going to be a musical.ly competition!!' I explained. 'And your in it!'

'How?!' She questioned.

'The bio is a clue! LB- Loren Beech!'

She stares at my phone in horror.

'Ehh... Ariel...' She whispers.

'I think your in it too...'

There it was.
BA
Baby Ariel.

We eye each other nervously...

Just then, someone knocks on my door..
