A few days have passed since Pippa and I split up
I was resting my head in my mom's lap while she was gently running her fingers through my hair, and putting my feet on Paige’s lap. Loki was resting on my chest.
"This is life," I murmured.
"You really are a laz—" Paige start...
2025-08-18 12:29:07 +0000 UTC View PostA few days have passed since I revealed the Marshmello deal to Cara and Pippa.
Pippa kept glancing at me from time to time. When class ended, she came over.
"Jake, can we talk?"
I nodded, and we walked to a quiet corner of the school.
Pippa seemed a little awkward, t...
2025-08-17 13:20:36 +0000 UTC View Post"Jake!" Britney grumbled, giving me a glare, though a playful smile lingered on her face.
"Hey, I said Britney, comma, Bitchy. I didn't call you bitchy," I corrected, feeling wronged
Cara and Pippa still looked frozen, staring between me and Britney as if their brains were buffering.<...
2025-08-15 10:23:45 +0000 UTC View PostAs I pulled up in front of Carly's house, I could already hear faint music coming from inside. The lights in the living room were on, and the front door was slightly ajar—typical Carly move. I knocked twice before stepping in.
"Hello? Carly? You’re not luring me into some trap, right?"<...
2025-08-14 13:09:44 +0000 UTC View PostWe spent the next half hour hunched over the biology books—me, Miley, and Lilly (Missy was reading some gossip magazine). Diagrams of bones, joints, and the skeletal system covered every page, but it all felt like noise after a while.
Miley kept flipping back, frowning at the book. She cl...
2025-08-13 12:54:14 +0000 UTC View PostAnother day after the whole husband fiasco, Missy was calling,
"Hey Jake."
"Hello Missy, what’s up?" I answered.
"I need a favor. Well, actually, Miley does. She needs help with her biology test," she explained.
"Hmm..." I paused, thinking.
"Come on, Jake, please. ...
2025-08-12 12:04:44 +0000 UTC View PostThe day after the party celebrating Paige on the yacht, I was sitting in my room in Malibu, talking with Pepper.
"So we spent hundreds of millions on scripts?" I asked.
"Yes, we now own the rights to hundreds of scripts," she confirmed.
"Yeah, but most of them are crap," I mutte...
2025-08-11 14:45:25 +0000 UTC View PostBefore hanging up, she had asked, "What are you even doing right now?"
"I'm on a yacht with some friends," I answered.
"Of course you are... wait, what??"
"I bought a yacht at the end of the year. I'm using it again now," I added casually.
"Wow, that is so cool! And what a...
2025-08-10 13:31:33 +0000 UTC View PostIt is mid-January, and we are all gathered on the yacht to celebrate Paige. I had bought some balloons and had her picture printed on them. On the regular balloon, though, the photo got distorted and made her look like she had a big head. When Paige saw it, she bit me (like I did it on purpose).<...
2025-08-08 13:45:45 +0000 UTC View PostAfter a few days, classes resumed. I had contacted Pepper about Fergie, discussing the idea of bringing her into the group Black Eyed Peas (which still only had three members at the time) and bringing them into JDS.
For now, Black Eyed Peas are only known in alternative and underground hip-...

"Noo waaay!" Paige exclaimed, throwing her arms around me.
She then spotted a magazine on the table and picke...
2025-08-06 13:06:42 +0000 UTC View PostThe olive bounced off my forehead and landed in my glass of water. I blinked. "I’m under attack," I announced dramatically, rubbing the spot.
Pepper didn’t even look up from her plate.
Alan chuckled while Paige, seated beside me, laughed openly.
Gramma looked at Paige and re...
2025-08-05 11:36:48 +0000 UTC View PostThe year was ending.
Paige wrapped her arms around me and kissed my cheek a few times.
"What's all this about?" I asked, narrowing my eyes at her. "What dumb thing did you do this time? Or what do you want?"
"Nothing, you dumbo," she said, hugging me even tighter. "I just wanted...

Carly turned around and faced Freddie.

"Alright guys, let’s keep the music going!"
A fresh beat dropped—this time it was Billionaire (Travie McCoy feat Bruno Mars)
I started singing, jumping straight into the groove:

2025-07-30 14:14:48 +0000 UTC View PostMissy mentioned she needed to go to the bathroom, so I asked Paige to take her to one inside the house, which was empty (even with the expansion and the huge bathrooms we had built, the women's restroom was still always crowded).
Pippa spotted Lauren and told me she was going to talk to her...
2025-07-29 17:26:32 +0000 UTC View PostA few days have passed, and it is already December 21st.

A loud cheer erupted from the whole class.

Britney nodded with a soft smile. She’s not a singer just for the fame and money—she genuinely enjoys singing.
Paige looked ex...
2025-07-27 12:15:57 +0000 UTC View PostMe and four other people are in my room.
I kicked Cher and Regina. "Okay, stop being starstruck. How many times have you seen her already?"
"But still, it’s Britney..." they both responded, eyes fixed on Britney, who lounged comfortably on the bean bag, already feeling at home.

"Not really, they're going to use a recording," I responded.
"Too bad," Lauren remarked, and Pippa also seemed a little down.
"But I think you should be much more popular. Your two...
2025-07-24 13:58:40 +0000 UTC View PostMonday morning I was taking my usual nap — the weekend had been wild. A wedding and two days of nonstop partying. Cher’s birthday was similar to Regina’s, just a bit less formal. But people still showed up in dresses and suits. Britney performed just like she did at Regina’s, but with a t...
2025-07-23 13:59:57 +0000 UTC View PostClaire opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out. She narrowed her eyes slightly, then blinked, clearly trying to find a retort—but failing. I did look fine. Too fine for someone who has drunk a lot.
Freshly showered, sharp-eyed, and with an easy smile, I leaned back in the ...
2025-07-22 16:25:40 +0000 UTC View PostThe moment the girls reached me again, the music had already shifted into a slower beat—one of those romantic Latin tracks that practically begged for body contact. They didn’t hesitate. One of them took my hand, the other slid her arm around my waist, and we were back on the dance floor like...
2025-07-21 11:22:33 +0000 UTC View PostThe music shifted as I nodded to the band. “Despacito now,” I said into the mic with a grin. One of the band musician gave me a thumbs up from the side.
The familiar rhythm kicked in (familiar for me). I placed my jacket neatly over the back of a nearby chair, loosened my tie, ...
2025-07-20 14:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostI glanced to the other side of the room and spotted Phil—he was far away from the main table, completely surrounded by several of Gloria’s uncles. They were all laughing loudly, slapping him on the back like he was one of their own.

2025-07-19 14:04:47 +0000 UTC View PostI adjusted the cuff of my social shirt as the sleek black car pulled up to the entrance of the wedding venue. The December night air was cool but not cold, the kind of crispness that hinted at the holiday season.
