Sophia's POV

"I already told you so many times not to go to public places." My manager said in frustration as her face turned red. "But you never listen to me. " 

"I'm sorry." I apologized.

I know it was my fault but I only wanted to unwind and relax. I'm sorry tired of being alone. This is the disadvantage of being famous, there's no privacy. Anyway, I'm Sophia Sparks, 24. Movie actress in this generation.

"Sorry again." My manager sighed. "And again.."

I scratched my eyebrow still looking at her. "I could not find my disguised." Which isn't true. I forget them at home. "Please.."

When people started to recognized me at the mall, they followed and chase me until I locked down myself inside the comfort room. I called Brenda my manager to come and pick me up. Of course she scolded me until we got home.

"I know you want some freedom." Brenda said between a sigh. "But please don't forget that you are a media magnet Sophia."

I spin around using the chair while listening..

"And paparazzi will always find ways to criticize you." She reminded me. Then she turned around to look at me. "Can you stop?"

But I didn't stop. "Why? Is this not allowed too?"

Her shoulder fell. "My gosh."

"Brenda.." I stopped moving. "Don't worry about me——"

"Really?"

I laughed softly before standing up. "I won't do any stupid things Brenda, trust me."

Brenda raised her hands in the air. "Whatever." As she grabbed her bag. "I don't know what to do to you anymore."

"I'm sorry." I still apologized before she left.

I picked up my phone and dialed Emily's number. She is the only person who can understand me, that's why I love her.

"Can you come?" I asked.

"What did you do?" She sounded suspicious.

See? She knows me.

"Nothing." I denied her suspicious. "I want to drink with you."

She didn't say anything right away. "Okay, i will come over."

I was staring blankly to my white canvas, wearing my painter's overall clothes. I was done and examined every inch of it. Painting is my secret passion, this is my stress reliever.

'' Sophia...  '' Someone called my name, i turned around and saw my sister stood at the door way. " Hey sister. " A devilishly smile crept on her face.

" Emily..  " I murmured.

" How are you? " She asked and gave me a kiss on my cheek. " Have you eaten? " I just shook my head. I don't really have an appetite.

" I'm not really hungry " I shrugged.

" How was the mall? " She asked, I rolled my eyes at her. Emily tried not to laugh at me.

" Don't you dare talk about it. That was so embarrassing! " I said with a warning look. But, Emily will be always Emily. A teaser. Who would always love to embarrass me. How's the f**k was that? She bursted out laughing her ass off.

" Look pia, That was fun--, you'-re am-azingly runner. " She said between laugh. " How was the rest room? Does it  smells good? " Emily mocked me.

" Well, I love you too sister! " I said sarcastically, while glaring hard at her.

" I'm sorry " She chuckled. " I can't just can't imagine, how you look like that. That you were running for your dear life! "

But you know, it is useless to argue with her, she always win. Emily is good at it. Ignoring her, I stared back to my canvas again and sighed. " I'm so freaking bored. I want to go somewhere. " I paused. " Different scenery. To unwind! "

Emily clapped her hands. " I know where to.   " She went to my cabinet and pick up some clothes. " Go and change. I don't want us to be late! " She said excitedly.

I raised my eyebrow " And where is that? "

She smile sheepishly. " You will know later Sophia. So go to the bathroom and fix yourself. "

I know my sister likes weird stuffs. I just hope and pray that she wasn't go insane to put me shame. Feeling of left out of any choices. I went in the bathroom and took a quick shower. I don't know where are we really going so i decided to wear a black denim short really exposing my legs, simple grey shirt and rubber shoes. I grabbed my purse, car key and of course my cap and face mask, just in case.

" Hop in, Ms. Superstar! " My sister yelled at me. I rolled my eyes and slide inside the car.

" So. Where are we going? "

Emily started to drive off as she ignoring me. " Just sit down and relax Sophia. " She assured me. " Stop asking me questions because i can't really concentrate. "

I shrugged and we sat there in silence. We are here in the busy city, enormous buildings here and there. I also saw my huge billboard in the middle of the high way. I couldn't even feel more proud.

" We are here " My sister said happily as she slowly parked the car across the largest indoor arena. There's a huge LCD screen in front, where they telecast what is happening inside. A lot of people fall in the long line at the entrance.

" In a Coliseum? I mean. You brought me here in a Big Dome? Where people might see and recognize me?  Seriously Emily? " I questioned her, crossing my arms.

" Relax Sister " Then she put my cap on my head. " Come on... The game is about to start! "Emily is excited. And before i could say anything she jumped out of the car, so I don't have a choice but to follow her.

People scattered around the big dome, wearing two different colors, red and blue. This must be a much anticipating game. A bald and small man with a warm smile approached us. I saw his name tag. " Miss Emily Sparks? "

My sister nodded and smile at him. " Yes Sir ... " She looked at his name tag. " Mr. Carson.. "

He stepped aside and give us away. " This way ladies... " Mr. Carson accompanied us inside the venue. They are talking but i remained silence. We ended up in the patron seat as we said our thank you'd to the nice man.

" Yay. The game is about to start. " Emily said as we sat down. The chairs are slowly fill in. People are started to make a noise to cheer their favorite teams. Excitement is really high.

Players from the both teams came in. A loud cheer exploded. The camera automatically focused to a certain player. " Oh my. " Emily squealed in excitement. My sister used to be a volleyball player during college but due to her studies she had to let go volleyball. I know she missed playing volleyball.

" Relax Emily! " I rolled my eyes.

" Shut up Soph--- " Emily cut me off when someone was calling her name behind us. We both turned our head to see who it was.

" Candice? " Emily squealed, the moment she fully recognize the girl behind us. They greeted each other with a hug.

" OhMy. You are so beautiful as always! " Candice compliments my sister.

" Why thank you! " My sister blushed a little.

" How are you? It's been awhile! I haven't seen you in a long long time. " She said and looked at me.

" I'm perfectly fine Candice. I'm working as a resident doctor now. " My sister said proudly. " By the way, this is my sister Sophia'. " She introduced me to her friend.

Candice offer her hand to me and held it " It is nice to meet you Sophia! " I took off my cap and shook her hand. I saw her priceless reaction when she recognize me. She gasped loudly. " Oh my gosh. Is this real? Sophia Sparks! "

I smiled at her. " It's nice to meet you Candice! "

" Why didn't you tell me? " Candice questioned my sister. Emily just laughed it off.

" Are you alone? " I asked Candice.

" Well yes. " She chuckled. " To support my beat friend "

Emily frowned. " Who? "

" Celine.. Celine Cavanaugh! " Our companion said proudly. I don't know who is Celine. So I just listen to them.

" Seriously? Are you kidding me? The famous Celine Cavanaugh? " Asked in shocked. Candice nodded her head as we all turned out head at the court.

" Woah! The Volleyball Superstar! " Emily blurted out, Exaggerating. I chuckled to myself. I don't even know who are they talking about.

Then suddenly the buzzer rung loudly inside the big dome making the crowd roar and shouts in excitement. The blue team entered the court. Their supporter began to cheers. And the Red Team finally jogged inside their court side. Making their fans to growl hard and loud.
