THE STARKS ALLEY

16

"We will first launch the movie here, at The Starks Alley before we head over to Hotel Sankara!!" Kent announced and everyone was pretty excited by this. Hotel Sankara was a posh place and that meant the party was going to be lit.

They had finally come to the end of starring the Coco Monkey Nuts and everyone needed this weekend to let loose.

Kristie had been working day and night writing scripts and rewriting the rejected scenes which was not an easy task. She was new to the industry but she had outdone herself and everyone acknowledged it; even Kelsie.

"I always knew you had it in you," Kelsie told Kristie.

"I can't believe it's finally over," Kristie responded, laughing, "I must admit, I didn't know you had it in you. Acting was never your specialty."

"It must be in the genes, I guess. I'm proud of us, Kristie." Kelsie sounded sincere, and she was. She had no ill feelings towards Kristie, not just yet.

Kristie, on the other hand, was quite reserved. She decided to put every urge to strangle Kelsie behind and move on. She needed her working experience to be smooth and in order to achieve that, she forgave Kelsie.

"Are you ready for the party?" Kelsie asked, excitedly.

"No. I just want a free day to myself to listen to my music and eat lots of ice cream in my bed. Now that's my kind of party." Kelsie was shocked by this.

"Come on!! You have to be there. You wrote most parts of this movie so you can't miss it."

"You'll represent me. I officially declare my partying rights to you!!" They both laughed.

"That wasn't funny, Kristie."

"I'll be fine, okay?" She held Kelsie's shoulder to reassure her, "I need to make a photocopy of these. I'll see you around." She then left Kelsie. It is no coincidence that Kelly appeared at that moment. He didn't want to make their fake relationship with Kristie obvious to everyone, especially not to Kelsie.

"Whatever it is, I don't want in," Kelsie said, walking away.

"Hey listen!" Kelly stopped her, "I found something." He took out a document and showed it to Kelsie, "It's about your dad."

Kelsie snatched te document from Kelly's hands and opened it.

"Careful with that! If my dad sees you with it..."

"Kent? What does he have to do with this?" She was going through the document.

"I found it in his room last night. Anyway, this shows information about him. It's like my dad's keeping tabs on him or something."

"It shows he's here! In Australia!"

"Yeah it does. I just don't get why there are no pictures of him, and no precise location."

"If he's here, I will find him. Thanks for this Kelly." She then hugged him which made him feel uncomfortable.

"Don't get all mushy. Girls." He said rolling his eyes and resisting that hug. He caught a glimpse of Ty coming in their direction, and that made him smile.

"Kelly," Ty acknowledged his presence before talking to Kelsie, "I updated the guest list as you asked, Kelsie."

"What does he mean?"

"Well, since Kristie isn't coming, I sent him a text to add some of my friends to the guest list."

"Why isn't she coming?"

This was bad news for Kelly. If Kristie wasn't at the party, then that meant he wouldn't go either. Kelly was a party animal, but this wasn't his problem. He had to make sure Kent saw him at that party with his girlfriend, Kristie.

"She said something about having a free day to herself, to listen to music and eat a lot of ice cream in her bed."

"Is everything okay?" Ty asked Kelly

Kelly walked away quickly as if Ty didn't just ask him a question. He had his own issues with Ty. He had never spoken to him, ever. Ty just assumed he didn't like him, so we'll assume that as well.

Meanwhile in the other room, Kristie was making copies as she had left to do earlier.

"Kristie you promised!" Kelly barged in abruptly.

"Excuse me?"

"We had a deal."

"I know that. So what's all this about," she said throwing her hands in the air.

"The party. You're coming."

"No. I want a free day to myself to..."

"Listen to your music and eat a lot of ice cream in your bed. We get it."

Kristie took her papers and walked out of the room. Kelly followed her quickly because there was no way his plan would end as soon as it began.

"Kristie you know my dad is going to suspect something if he doesn't see us together at the party."

"You're an actor; come up with a good excuse."

"This relationship has to be as convincing as possible!"

"FAKE relationship, Kelly."

"I bet Izzy can convince you," Kelly said. Izzy was coming and he looked as charming as ever.

"Don't you dare ask him anything," I warned Kelly.

"Izzy! What's going on man?"

"As you both know, the foreign exchange program is coming to an end and I may have to leave soon. Monic wants us to leave right after the party."

"The party! I bet you're looking forward to that!" Kelly, you just had to ask.

"Yeah I am!" He truly seemed excited, "Kristie, you'll be there, right?"

Kristie really wanted to say no. She had planned to be lazy and dress in nothing but a tank top on that day.

"Yes," she said through her teeth, smiling sarcastically.

"Cool. Can't wait to see you there," he then left.

Kelly was clearly proud of himself as he wore a smirk on his face.
