"There you go." I said as I finished signing the last authograph my fans had requested from me.

They are currently standing in front of me ,screaming on top of their lungs and continuously saying my name out loud. Most of them  I see are girls but there are also several guys around.

"Can we take a picture together?" a short blonde girl asked flashing out her huge white teeth with braces. But before I could even respond my body guards grabbed her hands and  put her at the back with the crowd. 

I blew a kiss to my adorable fans as I stood. Along with my other bodyguards , we walked straight into the limo that awaits us. 

I have finished watching the priemere of my latest movie "Remembering the last Sunset" with my co-stars. 

 When I got inside the silver limo , I waved goodbye at my fans outside who still keep on shouting my name. You see I'm one of the youngest and most famous celebrities in town.Whenever the name Sydney Xanders flash on the screen ,the mobs go crazy.

 I have been a celebrity since I was a college student. I was discovered by my mom's friend who is currently my manager, Ms. Dylan Willson.

 I have done tons of advertisements , movies and concerts already at my young age.I'm the all in one  type of star. I act , sing and model in different projects, but most of the time I am an actress.

 Today I have turned 21  , my mom suggested that the premiere of my movie would be held the same day of my birth.  My manager obliged without asking.

 I am the eldest in the family. My mom is a businesswoman. She owns a clothing line named under her, Summer Xanders Co. which is also famous in Fashion Industry. Whereas my dad, Pete Xanders is an economist. I seldom see him though because he's always busy with his work. But when the time comes he's free from it, our family bond bigtime and make the most out of it. My family matters to me most.Next to it is my job of course. 

 I have a little brother ,Peter Xanders who is also known by the public but mom insisted to finish his studies first before exposing him in the show business industry. He has a passion in it too.

 Speaking of studies I recently graduated this year at the top school of the country, the Samsons University major in singing and acting. Now I 'm all focused on my acting career , no shoolworks would ever bother me.

 I am naturally blonde at birth but because of one movie wherein I portrayed a brunette girl, I stick to the color since then, I started liking it.

 I love my job. Who wouldn't? People wanted to be this famous badly. I can't afford to lose it to anyone. I love being known by the the majority and being the center of attention most of the time.

 The limo is speeding fastly. I can see that there are cars of paparazzi following us.

 They never learn.

 The driver turned the opposite direction to where we were supposed to be heading. Luckily we lost the stalkers because of the heavy traffic on their way.

 "Nice job, Mr. Frank!" I told my family's driver

 "I'm getting wiser everytime Ms.Sydney." he answered . I saw at the mirror that he smiled at me.

Mr. Frank Johnson is my family's oldest driver. He is in his early 50's and he doesn't fail to support my family ever since. Because of his loyalty to us, he  haven't gotten the chance to marry. I pity him, but my family always make sure to show our love for him in return. We treat him like a relative.

 The limo came to a halt at our next destination the Super B Studios, which is owned by the ever famous director Mr. James Burlock.

 It's already past three in the afternoon and my hectic schedule is giving me a massive headache already. Good thing I drank enough water at home before hand.

 Inside the studio I'll be meeting with Mr. Burlock, my co-stars at the movie and some interviewers and journalists. Like the other days, they'll be asking me intriguing questions about the movie.

 I stare at one of my favorite studios of all time before I get out the limo. The big shiny violet building captivates my eyes like it always does everytime I see it.

 I immediately went out and enter the place.There is a sign that reads the title of my movie and where it is located.

 Rememebering the last Sunset (movie premiere)

 5th floor at Conference Room 504

 No outsiders allowed.

I together with my bodyguards, headed at the elevator and went up to join the conference at the 5th floor.

 As the elevator opens , flashes of cameras welcomed me. I walked straight at the room ignoring the photographers. My bodyguards protected me from them. I'm used to them following my every move.

 I grabbed the glass door of the room and entered. Fortunately the interviewers and journalists are well behaved in their seats.

 I can see Mr. Burlock walking towards me.

 "Hello there my Diva!" He opened his arms and embraced me. I can feel his muscular body pressed at me.Then he kissed both of my rosy cheeks.

 Did I mention that he's  gay?

 He's engaged to his co-director Mr. Daniel Paige,  who is also popular like him but currently  isn't here. I'm invited at their wedding in the coming year, they are too excited to  prepare for it now.

 After chatting a bit with Mr. Burlock , we headed in front of the people that is waiting for us. We sat in our designated chairs. I smirked at my partner in the movie Louis Riley, who's sitting beside me. He grinned back.

 The host welcomed us and went directly in opening the questions from the interviewers and journalists.

 One interviewer stood , a lady probably at her 30's and asked

 "To Ms. Sydney Xanders: Did any intimate relationship develop from you and your leading man Louis Riley?"

 I chuckled at her question. I grabbed the mic and answered.

 "Friendship developed from me and Louis, that's what happened. Thank you."

 The lady sat , seems satisfied at my respond somehow and wrote down what I just said.

Another one stood , a man this time much younger than the lady.

 "To Ms. Sydney Xanders again. Are you willing to accept any movie with another famous actor Jace Montez if ever?"

 I rolled my eyes but hid it from them. I grinned.

"Yes . I'm always open working with him in the future if ever. " I lied

 Even just hearing the sound of his name pisses me.

 Jace Montez , the famous actor slash model. 

 You see, he is also one of the youngest and most famous celebrities like me. We have the same level of popularity if you ask. Girls go gaga about him but me.Whenever people see his name on the television , the ratings hit the highest in an instant. What more if they began seeing his face?

 He is all over the billoards, television, radio , and magazine covers. You name it.

He even studied in my school when we were in college, so I always see his face almost everyday.The same year we were both discovered  as actors.

 We never did any project together ever since we started acting. He's way too busy with his career and I also have a hectic schedule with me.  Our managers have difficulty in arranging us a movie or show together. We are that popular compared to others.

 I wish I'd never  work with him in the future.

 Several hours has passed . Tons of intriguing questions has been asked and answered , mostly were too showbiz really. The conference has been done finally. 

 I looked at my wrist watch ,it says 5 :30 pm. Time flies like a sudden lighting if you're a star.

 I didn't even feel that my stomach is rumbling but now.
