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.

To be continued...

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.
