"𝑰'𝒎 𝒔𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒚 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝑮𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒍𝒆 𝒐𝒓 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒇𝒂𝒓" I can say that I've been Miss Sweet Misery for the last time, except this was just the start back when California dreamin' was our scheme during a hectic global pandemic. Love stories are overrated, and yes, this is one of them. A really strange one, actually. But it's also so much more than just a love story. It's a story of eight star-crossed teens brought together by the cities of Glendale and Los Angeles when we probably should've been staying at home... but the friendship was so strong, how could we possibly not see each other every week? There were crazy adventures and there were crazy confessions, and yes, there was also heartbreak. It's all part of a cliche coming of age and this was ours. - yours truly, Emma Suarez INSPIRED BY: minor + IMYIS by Gracie Abrams and Love Story by Taylor Swift.

Our story starts in New York, where eighteen year old Rose Sinclair made it a secret well kept from her parents that she no longer has any ambition to head to summer camp. Despite officially being an adult for months now, she still fears disappointing them even though she knows that she'll never live up to their expectations. It seems that the only exciting part about this summer camp in these woods is a singing competition that will be held there, and perhaps some familiar faces-from her former high school- that will accompany her in this brand new chapter of adulthood. While running around the woods all alone, she falls upon a rusted journal and she whimsically takes it into the care of her own bare hands. To her nonchalant surprise, the journal Rose finds contains the untold early life story of retro actress Briar Rosenberg- and these well-kept diary entries don't hold back Briar's secretive past. What she learns is shocking but also comforting to know that despite having grown up in a different timeframe, Briar wasn't all too different from Rose and her group of musical rebel friends. As for Briar Rosenberg, an aspiring actress she could've been, and a movie icon she became. Her longing dream to be a household name on the big screen didn't become reality until she was casted with fellow family friend and actor, Julius Phillips, for their 1954 live action "Sleeping Beauty" film. After all the critical acclaim and praise they received, Briar became Hollywood's next "it girl", being casted in all the major roles in Cinema. But it seems as nothing is as it truly seems... years later, after acting for so long in multiple movies, Briar has grown exhausted of her fame and is tainted by the illusions of the Hollywood lifestyle. There's only one person that her heart tenderly recalls on a daily basis, and it's the one person she can't have.

With the occasional hint of deja vu, are past mistakes capable of being repaired? ~ Re-write of my 2022 original story 'Deja Vu; ~

Up until she turned 15, Emma's life was ordinary. Living in Los Angeles, she had a few friends, and loved learning history. She had a fascination with magic growing up, but after elementary, she moved on from the foolish idea, learning the hard way that magic isn't real and that it's only a lie Hollywood had fed her. But her whole perspective shifted again after the passing of her grandpa. She discovered that he had kept a secret from his whole family-that he once was a warlock. He had given up that life when he moved to L.A. in the 1970s, but Emma and her cousin Carolina are determined to learn every trick in the spell book he left behind. Fast forward to a year later, Emma's life takes a new turn. During junior year, a mysterious new student from San Bernardino catches her eye. He's mysterious, intriguing, and mostly keeps to himself, but why? It's what she wonders every day when they cross paths. Who in Glendale would want to be so secretive, anyway? Bobby Staten-that's who. Due to Bobby's classic leather jacket and dark aesthetic, Emma and her friends constantly joke that maybe he's a vampire and that's the secret he's hiding. It's no longer funny when a series of gruesome killings occur at Verdugo High, described by local officers as a bloody mark found on the necks of the victims. Strangely, this same pattern had appeared earlier in spring at a San Bernardino High School. Coincidence? Rebecca, Emma's other cousin, thinks not. Rebecca quickly suspects a connection and begins investigating Bobby's past and persona. As Emma befriends him, she struggles to believe that someone like Bobby could be capable of crimes so vicious. Rebecca reminds her that one of the only ways to permanently kill a vampire is with a stake through the heart-in much more poetic terms, heart right through Verdugo.
