STARSTRUCK

Chapter 1

(SUTTON'S HOUSE. 6:00 AM)

Ruby woke up, removing the duvet from her face and stretching her arms. "It's another blissful morning," she commented happily, getting out of bed.

She went to the bathroom, took a bath, and brushed her teeth. Afterward, she came out with a towel tied around her body, rubbed lotion on her skin, and put on her school uniform and shoes. She tied her hair with a yellow hairband.

"How do I look?" she asked herself, checking her reflection in the wall mirror. "I look beautiful," she said, satisfied.

She went to where she had plugged in her phone, eager to watch the live video. "I can't wait to watch the live video," she said happily, pressing the open button. But the screen remained blank. "What's wrong?" she asked, giving it a long press before the screen flickered to life, displaying a low-battery warning.

"BATTERY LOW, SHUTDOWN" her phone announced, and she screamed in frustration.

Just then, Mrs. Wilson entered her room, holding a frying pan. "What's wrong?" she asked worriedly, looking around the room.

"My phone didn't charge since last night, and I need to watch the TBL's live video this morning," Ruby explained.

"You yelled because of your phone?" Mrs. Wilson asked, incredulous.

Ruby nodded innocently. "Oh my God!!" Mrs. Wilson exclaimed, lifting the frying pan.

"Mom, that's a frying pan, and I'm already in my school uniform," Ruby pointed out, dodging the pan and running out of the room. Her mom chased after her.

(CRYSTAL COVE HIGH. 8:15 AM)

Many female students were watching the TBL's live video on their phones, while the males discussed the upcoming lesson. Ruby rushed into class and sat beside Claire, her best friend.

"Hey, the TBL is live," Claire informed her, and they watched the video together.

On the live show, Austin from TBL announced, "We have an important message to deliver to all our fans, and we hope you won't be disappointed."

Jayce, the leader, continued, "We've decided to drop music for a year to complete our high school education, as agreed upon by our agency. We won't release any new music until we finish high school."

LIVE SHOW ENDED

The students murmured in disappointment as the live stream ended.

"This pain is too much to bear; it's like hearing they're disbanding," Claire said sadly.

"How am I going to live without seeing them on screen for a whole year, especially my Jayce? Their agency shouldn't have allowed it," Ruby cried out loudly.

Skyler, sitting in front of them, turned around and snapped, "Stop disturbing me with your stupid crocodile tears."

"We're sorry," Ruby apologized, and Skyler turned back to face the front.

"I don't like her at all; she's too cold," Claire whispered.

"That's just how she is," Ruby replied silently.

Lincoln approached them. "Morning, sweetheart," he greeted Ruby.

"Morning, why are you just getting here?" Claire asked.

"My dad's car broke down, so I had to take the subway and wait for the bus," Lincoln explained.

"Sorry about the stress," Ruby sympathized.

"Where's Sebastian? I can't find him anywhere," Lincoln asked Claire, looking around the class.

"Don't ask me about him; it's not like I care whether he's in school or not," Claire replied angrily, unaware that Sebastian was standing behind her, listening to their conversation.

Ruby turned around and saw Sebastian, alerting Claire, who turned to face him. They stared at each other, and he chuckled before sitting down.

"Suit yourself," Claire muttered.

" Are you two still arguing?" Ruby asked her.

" We aren't, we've broke up and that's just it." Claire explained to her.

" Oh oh," Ruby giggled

As the lesson was about to start, the students settled down.

My world revolved around Jax Harding, my older brother's captivating rockstar friend. From sixteen, I adored him; at eighteen, I clung to his casual promise: "When you're 22, maybe I'll settle down." That offhand comment became my life's beacon, guiding every choice, meticulously planning my twenty-second birthday as our destiny. But on that pivotal day in a Lower East Side bar, clutching my gift, my dream exploded. I overheard Jax' s cold voice: "Can't believe Savvy's showing up. She' s still hung up on that stupid thing I said." Then the crushing plot: "We' re gonna tell Savvy I' m engaged to Chloe, maybe even hint she' s pregnant. That should scare her off." My gift, my future, slipped from my numb fingers. I fled into the cold New York rain, devastated by betrayal. Later, Jax introduced Chloe as his "fiancée" while his bandmates mocked my "adorable crush"-he did nothing. As an art installation fell, he saved Chloe, abandoning me to severe injury. In the hospital, he came for "damage control," then shockingly shoved me into a fountain, leaving me to bleed, calling me a "jealous psycho." How could the man I loved, who once saved me, become this cruel and publicly humiliate me? Why was my devotion seen as an annoyance to be brutally extinguished with lies and assault? Was I just a problem, my loyalty met with hatred? I would not be his victim. Injured and betrayed, I made an unshakeable vow: I was done. I blocked his number and everyone connected to him, severing ties. This was not an escape; this was my rebirth. Florence awaited, a new life on my terms, unburdened by broken promises.
