Chapter 1 – Drama of Fabulous Life

A girl with a pair of large spectacles on her button nose sprinted through the mass of actors and actresses in the backstage. She went through the large throng, saying hello to almost every one of them, before knocking on the door with a star sign of it. The name 'Eva Black' adorned the shiny yellow star.

"Oh my god! What have you done to my face? Give me that! Let me do it myself!" An assertive female voice came out from the other side of the door.

The tired girl waiting at the door bit her lips in apprehension, but opted that she had better entered the lead actress' room before she had to face the music. Slowly, she turned on the golden doorknob and walked inside to see a beautiful girl about her age. Her face was beetroot red, which much reminded her of a ticking time-bomb waiting to explode at any moment. Another girl left hurriedly, and Sarah swore that she could see those sad tears in her eyes.

"Sarah! Where's my coffee?" Eva shouted at the top of her bossy voice, her hand holding a bubblegum pink lipstick.

"Here…" Sarah held out the cup of coffee, which had been shaken, not stirred in the direction of Eva. As she was making her way nervously, she stumbled upon something small in her path. Suddenly, the thing barked curses at her, prompting the poor young lady to jump and drop the coffee.

"What on earth are you doing, idiot? Can't you do anything right? That's my 'princess' you're stepping on!" Eva roared, her ugly veins revealed on her temples.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry…" Sarah bowed many, many times, her body shivering with fear, her tears welling up in her grey eyes.

"Out of my room! NOW!" The bossy student pointed her long, bony finger to the gold-painted wooden door. Sarah looked at her with red, swollen eyes, before stepping ruefully with short steps to the door waiting to be opened.

"Wait!" Eva spoke, still admiring herself on the mirror, not looking at Sarah, whose face turned from sadness to a bundle of hope, "Get me another coffee, will you? Shaken, not stirred?"

Sarah's curl of smile arched downwards, before exiting through the door. The obnoxious Chi-Hua-Hua barked once more, strutted to its red, comfy cushion and yawned sleepily. Eva drew her rosy lips carefully with her expensive lipstick, which was bought yesterday in Paris. Her eyes were emerald and bright and beautiful, with a silky curtain of long black hair that fell to her hour-glass-figure waist. She also had a perfect face frame to match her 'Aiswarya Rai' hair, and her olive skin was so fair that her skin tend to glow under the fluorescent light.

With her dainty fingertips, she brushed her hair aside, muttering through gritted teeth, "A coffee is all I want. Is that too much to ask?"

A few soft knocks came from the door, followed by a deep voice, "Greetings. May I find my princess who can fit into this glass slipper?"

Unlike her grumpy, drama-queen-like self, Eva replied with a sweet smile, "Come in, my prince."

The door opened to reveal a strapping, normal-built young man with striking hazel eyes. His hair was dark and gelled to the back, which added much to his hunky personality. His handsome-as-a-prince face smiled with delightfulness, but behind his smile lies a different meaning that would be troublesome if it ever showed itself.

Eva quickly hugged his boyfriend in a tight embrace, uttering with a flirtatious purr, "Ken! I can't wait for our performance! It would be totally fabulous!"

Ken spoke with a hint of nervousness, "Of course, but there's something I want to tell you."

Eva was quick to notice the white lilies behind Ken's behind, "Oh! These flowers are for me?"

"Err…" Before Ken could answer, Eva wrenched the bouquet flowers from his hands and smelled the fragrant lilies to her heart's content. She added, her twinkling emerald eyes closing themselves with a feeling of being in paradise, "Why aren't you dressed up? You know, Ken, the drama would be starting any time soon."

Ken said guiltily, his head looking down, "Eva, my Dad's in hospital. He's having a heart-attack, and those flowers are for him. I'm sorry, Eva, but I won't be going to perform…"

Without any warning, Eva threw the beautiful white flowers at Ken, who caught it frantically. Yet, some feather-like petals hit the solid marble floor with painful thuds. It was the last straw for Eva.

"How could you do this to me, Ken? You can't miss this show! You can go to your sick Daddy after this!" Eva barked.

Ken spoke, his cold sweat trickling down his forehead, "Eva, you gotta understand. My Dad's dying, and I need to see him immediately. Anyway, I'll find you a replacement…"

"I don't want a replacement! I want you to be my prince, Ken!" Eva shot back, almost pleading hopelessly. Her hands reached out for Ken to hold, but Ken turned away with a disappointed frown.

"I thought you'll understand, Eva," With that, Ken left the room, leaving Eva shrieking like a mad banshee for him, but it was to no avail. Ken had already left.

"Ahhhh! Why is this happening toe me?" Eva made a few angry stomps, before storming out the room. She bumped into Sarah, causing both of them to trip, along with the hot, steamy cup of coffee in Sarah's hands. The chocolate liquid spilled onto the cold floor and flowed itself into Eva's new snow-white dress.

Sarah gasped, "I'm sorry! Let me wipe your-" Her shaky hands went forward to clean the black, ugly stains on Eva's costly dress, but Eva rudely slapped them away.

"I'm out of here!" Eva shouted at Sarah's frightened face, "I'm going home!"

She scrambled to her feet quickly and ran through the crowded corridor, ignoring Sarah's trembling voice, "W-W-What about the performance?"

With those annoying words swirling in her grey matter, Eva made a sharp turn to the school gate.
