Ricky Bowen, you've heard of him right? Well of course you have, he's been in the business for over 20 years. Started off as a child actor, and then slowly starting to rise up in the music industry. Now, he's probably one of the biggest household names at age 24. But underneath the shining star is an overworked, and burnt out drunky who's practically on his breaking point. During only the 3rd show of his tour, Ricky seems like a complete lost cause and is forced to go on hiatus. Instead of just staying home for a while and not working, he's shipped off to a small suburb outside of Albuquerque, New Mexico to live with his grandparents for a while. He thinks he doesn't have a problem, and just wants to go back to his depressing LA lifestyle. But maybe the towns resident cafe owner can change that. Nini Salazar-Roberts is just your average 23 year-old woman. She graduated college and started her own Cafe, Cream n' Sugar. She will often drive down to John and Linda Bowen's house to help deliver groceries or just have a cup of tea. She's often described as one of the nicest people you'll ever meet and is loved by all, that is until Bowen shows up. The two don't necessarily click at first, and Ricky definitely doesn't want to get to know her in the slightest. But then on the same night, both make what they say to be the biggest mistake of their lives and everything just hits absolute rock bottom. Nini and Ricky want nothing more than for the other to get so far out of their life. But throw in a few lies and a little bit of fun, and now you've got everyone's new favorite couple... To the public at least. Could their one mistake lead to the best thing ever, or a complete disaster? I guess you'll have to see what they're Hiding Behind all that Hatred. Another role play between @LibbyLou814 and I. (She's Nini and I'm Ricky, and we fill in for the rest).

Another role play between @LibbyLou814 and I. (She's Nini and I'm Ricky, and we fill in for the rest). Nini Salazar-Roberts: The definition of a "nerd". Straight A, Yale bound, Honor's and AP student. She does loads of community work, is in as many clubs as possible, book worm, and the embodiment of perfection to others. She's not very popular and will often get called "Miss 100" but, it doesn't really fase her. She's proud of who she is and doesn't mind showing it off. But Ricky Bowen is a completely opposite story, or is he? Ricky Bowen: Ricky is... kind of a dumb jock. Captain of the basketball team, but simultaneously, the worst student at East High. Failing classes, skipping class, detentions after detentions, and and finding a new girl every week. Everyone sees him as this "bad boy hearthtob" but, Nini finds him and his entourage of dumbies, rude and a waste of time. But what if there's more then what he shows to everyone? What happens when Nini is assigned to tutor the one and only Ricky Bowen and his secret slips out? What happens when Ricky doesn't see Nini as some girl toy? Will she keep a promise of staying quiet? Or will everyone finally get to know about the real Ricky?

This story is a roleplay between my friend (@LibbyLou814) and I. I play Joshua Bassett and she plays Olivia Rodrigo (and we both kinda fill in for other characters). The story picks up right when they head to Salt Lake City for the 1st time to film season one. Olivia and Josh develop a deep friendship, but do they wish it was more? Read to see our crazy ideas of what happened behind the scenes between Olivia and Josh. Fair warning the suspense will kill you 😂 -NOTE: Libby and I are horrible at the concept of time. We are aware that it takes longer then 2 or 3 days to film 2 episodes. But since we write so much in those 2 or 3 days we decided to just allow it to have a weird timeline lol. So sorry if that's confusing or anything....just role with it. And we apologize. (I also wanted to say that we don't intend to bash anyone- think of this story as a fiction and not based on real people (like we don't mean to make Ethan sound like such a bad guy but he is in the story because it adds drama.))
