Penelope Patrick is a talented stage actress with a masters degree from Yale drama. She wanted to be in films, but was told she didn't have the face or body for it. Now she's set to star in a new dramatic play starring opposite her boyfriend, acclaimed Tony winning actor Frederick Benson, who's reputation is even more acclaimed than hers. When she finds at the last minute that the role of the leading man has been offered instead to Cameron Aldobrandeschi, a playboy prince turned model with no acting experience, she's furious. She's a serious actress, and this was supposed to be a serious play, dammit. 
When they meet, she's even more put off by his lean, European good looks and dry humor, while he's offended by her obvious dismissiveness and supercilious superiority. The fact that Cameron comes with a gorgeous model girlfriend in the form of Claire Weatherfield doesn't do anything to endear him to the super serious Penelope.
Just as Penny and Cam get to be friends and realize that their worlds could somehow merge and they could coexist and be more than happy, tragedy strikes, and everything is turned upside down. They have to grow up in a hurry and find out if they really believe what they thought they did, or if they can change and become different people, better people, in a better world.All Rights Reserved

Tongue Tied by KevinaOyatedor

Maya wants to be a famous actress. Maya also has stage fright. It's kind of redundant that she's in the drama club. She's just a stand in and stage handle because her first audition was a disaster. She could barely get out the words. She locked up and ran away. Sam has no problem being the center of attention. He nails all the scenes and monologues. He's confident and fluid. She wishes she had his confidence. Envies it, even. He's a cocky, narcissistic pretty boy. The school sees him as the perfect specimen. Maya can see through his facade as he pulls off. His so-called charms seem fake. No one is that perfect. Sam loves the spotlight, all eyes on him, the applause. It makes him want to go on, as the saying goes. Maya was someone he sees as a background actor, where she belongs. He belongs on the center stage. One date between them meant nothing. He moved on. They barely spoke unless it's in drama club. One kiss meant nothing. He always wanted to know how she kissed. He got his answer. Their drama teacher has now partnered them up as acting buddies for the next play. That was the last thing she wanted. The more time she spends with him during rehearsals, the more she sees him, his dedication, his passion. He's mesmerizing. Sam sees a spark in her when it's the two of them. Sassy as she is, there is a vulnerable side she shares. She's falling for his charm. She's falling for him. But does he feel the same way? Is he playing the charm on her to get what he wants? She has to keep it in, she can't break character.
