The Fame Game

"Avaleth" Goes Viral

I wake up the next morning because of my phone ringing loudly.

I roll up of bed and grab my iPhone, muttering to myself about not turning off notifications until later in the morning.

My phone flashes a message from my publicist and I squint at the writing. It's a link to a webpage. I follow it and see the title:

"Avaleth: Meet the new celebrity power couple

Actress and Hollywood Princess Avalon Aire was spotted at the Ground Café yesterday, where she met up with Heartthrob of the Year Seth Robbins. the two were caught making out and, after lunch, they both left together. Questions are flying and everybody wants to know: what does this mean for Hunter Williams?"

The article was perfect and immediately put a smile on my face. it was exactly what I had been hoping for. I looked around my room in a blur of contentment. the smile on my face only grew when I remembered I was seeing Seth again today.

After lunch, we had driven to the middle of nowhere and ended up finding an unoccupied beach, where we walked barefoot in the sand. Without any cameras around he had taken my hand.

I knew I was on a mission and falling for Seth would be dangerous. I don't think I could handle another betrayal. I was still wounded from the whole Hunter and Kayla thing, but I couldn't help feeling attracted to Seth.

Seth's POV

I was sure. I needed to see her again. She was all that was on my mind and I couldn't stop myself from looking her up. The more I learned about her, the more it became clear that she was intriguing me.

She was different from the typical star. She was down to earth and truly funny. A girl who's proud of her flaws is hard to come by, but here she was.

I thought about what she had said to me about her boyfriend messing around with her best friend. It was easy to find out all about the both of them online. I remembered faintly having met Hunter before. coming across a picture of him and Avalon kissing, I can't help but notice he's not looking at her, but rather eyeing a flock of nearby girls in revealing outfits.
