(Un)Fortunate

Chapter 1

While Jen sits patiently as the lady does her makeup and spiffs up her hair, I scroll through the new social site Bubble, to see if I should download it. All of Caleb's fans are saying I should and Caleb says he likes it. I decide to give it a try, and just as its about to finish downloading, the interviewer is calling us over. Jen nods and I take the lead behind him.

He motions for us to each take a seat on the cushy chairs. The camera man counts down with his fingers to one, and the interviewer starts talking.

"Hellothere Miss, I don't believe i caught your name."

"Oh, sorry. My name is Jennifer Winston, but most people call me Jen," She says with a smile.

"Well Jen, how long have you and Arielle been friends?" He glances back and forth between us.

"Oh we have been friends for about ten years now... Isn't that about right, Ellie?" Jen says glancing at me.

"That sounds right! Yeah, we have known each other forever! We met in third grade, so about ten years exactly," I answer, the interviewer guy gives me a warm smile, but I know a phony smile when I see it. Caleb taught me all about it.

"Now are you the same age as Arielle and Caleb?"

I look at Jen, who is fiddling with her nail polish. She pauses for a moment, for effect I think.

"Yes, we are all seventeen, which may seem cool, but actually its not that great because reporters are always coming to school asking if they can get an interview with the school about Caleb."

The only thing worse than having a brother who is an actor, is having a twin brother who is an actor and starred in his first film at 14. The only thing worse than even that is that we all attend the same school, in the same grade, at the same time. You have no idea how completely grossed out a girl gets when she catches her friends going through her brothers underwear drawer.

"Now, here is the question America has been wanting to know. Ladies, can you confirm that Brooke is Caleb's girlfriend?" He says leaning forward, as if we were actually going to tell him.

"Sorry, that is private information, if you want to know, ask him yourself. Or, if you want to have a bit more fun with it, you can wait and see later on," I answer grinning mischievously with a slight chuckle.

"Oh, I guess we will have to find out another day. Well, that's all we have time for today, see you next week!" The man closes and waves goodbye to his viewers. I have been to so many interviews and talk shows, I can't even keep names straight anymore. I have been on here once before. I think his name is Jason, or maybe Carson? I don't even know.

After the buzzer goes off, signaling the camera stopped rolling, me and Jen get up. We walk offstage and I take out my phone to see if Bubble downloaded. I open the app and it tells me to create a bubble name. I choose the name: EllieMorgan . I choose my profile picture to be of me and Caleb making faces at a camera. Next it tells me to write 5 facts about myself. I write: I have brown hair and gray eyes; My favorite color is pink; My full name is Arielle Elena Morgan; I love pizza; My brother is Caleb Morgan. Next it tells me to pop someone's bubble, a.k.a. follow them. I look up my brother and I pop the bubble around his name and it says I am following him. Within a minute, Caleb has 'popped' me back and gave me a shout out to all his fans. My notifications started blowing up.

I turn off my phone and grab my purse and head toward the exit with Jen. All of a sudden she forgets she left her jacket in the guest rooms and runs back to get it.  I wait a few minutes for her before she shows up, panting.

We get to the door of the studio and see the car waiting there for us. We open the door and my mouth drops open as I see Caleb in the driver's seat.
