cecelia's point of view (still)

AS SOON AS I get home I run to my Mac. If I want to impress Dan and prove that I can be a good assistant...then I need to have good reputation.
While it loads I tap my white nails on my white desk. I'm either aesthetic or minimalistic. Honestly who knows what it's going to come up with? Dan later admitted that the reason why there's press at the studio doors is because of Nina. So she must be famous? I've never heard of her before so I can only imagine what comes up when I search her name.
I quickly type in my easy-as-fuck password and click on safari. When I type in 'Sabrina' I get cut off by all of the search results — and nope, they're not Sabrina The Teenage Witch:

   Is Sabrina Mendes 23 years old?
   Sabrina Mendes nudes
   Sabrina Mendes and Dan Smith
   Sabrina Mendes GQ magazine cover fall 2015
   Sabrina Mendes fashion line
Who is Sabrina Mendes?
   Why is Sabrina Mendes so rude?
   Sabrina Mendes engaged
   What Bastille song is about Sabrina Mendes?
    
   I mean...she's definitely famous. I don't even need to google her to know that she works within the fashion business. She's probably down high up model belittling people like me...that's how she comes across.
   I then click on a seemingly eye catching article which is in the top page news.

   'Sabrina Mendes and her boyfriends wild night out'

   Of course I click it. Almost as soon as the page loads I scroll down past the grungy press photo of Nina and Dan — hand in hand with a big smile on their faces at a stupid time in the early morning.
   I then read the article in my head:

   Sabrina Mendes is everything...and in all honestly we all adore her! With that being said Sabrina put on a show with her older boyfriend, Dan Smith, 32, in the early hours of this morning (15/07/18). Pretending the press were professional photographers they posed while the internet woke up in awe. However one fan on instagram @ninas.angel zoomed in on one particular image and found a small — but possible 'baby' bump on Sabrina.

   That's when my Yorkshire tea decides to meet my mac. I spit it out everywhere.
I was not expecting that. "Shit!" I quickly say as I get my sleeve and rub the tea away...or at least try too. Either way I'll buy screen wipes tomorrow. "Fuck" I whisper again as I sit back down from leaning over my desk.
I have such a backache from this earlier that what I just did wasn't exactly ideal. After I wipe the screen I continue reading the lengthy article:

   We've reached out to Dan and Sabrina's management who didn't exactly deny the topic. Their statement is: 'both Sabrina and Dan are madly in love. They're enjoying each other's company and wish not to be followed around by the press and people who're quick to judge'. Whether Sabrina and Dan are expecting or not — we're happy for the couple. Since Sabrina has been with Dan her life has certainly got easier. Take a look below at her chart of crazy highs and terrible lows:

   2000 — 5 years old and new to the scene Sabrina 'Nina' Nightingale Mendes appeared on a children's show 'Flower Fairies' in America. She did all three seasons before it got cancelled. Nina then moved onto adult shows on cable and became a little household name for her pretty looks and tremendous acting skills.

   2002 — 7 year old Nina became the first child in academy award history to win a Oscar for her role in 'Side Effects' a film about a little girl who was taking adult prescribed medicine. Who one day wakes up all alone in her house where she is 'plagued' by a unknown malevolent demon. (Spoiler alert) she killed her entire family!

   2004 — 9 year old Nina signed up at a pre-teen modelling agency. Her first public appearance as a model was later in the year as a young Dior model. She still continues running down haute culture fashion shows.

   2007 — 12 year old Nina was cast in a bad television series. Even though it ran for a year it (the critical reception) all got too much for Nina and she quit acting. She continued to live off of modelling. Slowly but surely she was in magazines every week for rebelling or hanging around with the wrong type of people.

   2009 — 14 year old Nina was not only found DUI, but driving illegally! But still...her mugshot was pretty.

   2010 — 15 year old Nina got arrested for possession of cocaine and put into a detention centre for two weeks. When her parents house got raided (while she was at the centre) — the police found enough evidence that they neglect Nina frequently. Nina got taken off of them and placed with a foster family.

   2012 — 17 year old Nina was found at the side of the street at 4am in the pouring rain. She was bruised and a 'state'. The witnesses took her to the police where it's revealed her foster father tried to 'sell her' to another man because of her fame.

   2013 — 18 year old Nina was damaged. After the recent horrific events Nina got rushed to hospital. The information never came out as to what happened but she now talks about mental health and her suicide attempt. In 2013 she was also regularly in public fights with fans and press. By the end of the year she quit smoking and went into rehab/anger management.

   2015 — 20 year old Nina had a blast of a year. Not only did she start working again on various projects, launch her own fashion line and tour the world but she also met Dan Smith, the lead singer of Bastille who she met whilst watching Lorde at Coachella in April. Nina also has stated that Dan was in a bad place due to his mother's cancer diagnosis.

   2016 — 21 years old and Nina in late November moved to London with Dan after keeping their relationship a secret. At Christmas she dropped an 'reveal all' album about her life so far. The album is called 'Bittersweet'.  Along side of the album she directed her own short film, creating a theme, a setting and characters for her album.

   2017 — 22 two years old and Nina is now Forbes most wanted woman in the world. She is also the most youngest billionaire in history.  All throughout 2017 she has been investing in random people's projects and giving back to her fans. Both her and Dan became very public and are never seen without each other.

   2018 — With only five (nearly four) months of the rest of year to go we've put a list of Nina's highs:
— Nina and Dan are rumoured to have got engaged!
— Nina has left acting and singing and now chooses to concentrate on her fashion.
— Nina continues to leak Bastille information to Bastille's fans (YAS KWEEN)
— Nina visits children's hospitals for hours on end from the kindness of her heart.
— It's revealed Nina anonymously has given a million pounds to a single mother whose on the brink of eviction.
— She literally rescued two French bulldogs puppies (moon and star) who she found in a bin bag with Dan on a trip to the local shops!
— Like the engagement rumour (which never got directly answered)
   — Sabrina and Dan could very well be expecting their first child!

What the fuck did I just read?
