Real World 2

Tabloid Trash




Jackie and Chris sat back, their arms around each other. Life was begining to have a whole new
outlook. Chris had vowed to clean up his act so he could stay on the show. Jackie would try to
have a better attitude. A feeling of peace and happiness had fallen over the set of In A Heartbeat.
It was a Utopia in the middle of Canada. Little did the unsuspecting cast and crew know, their
heaven on earth was soon to be interrupted.

Jenna smiled as she typed away on her keyboard. This was perfect. Her big story was finally here.
And soon, she thought as she gazed around the dingy office for The Spinster, if everything goes
right I can leave this stupid little paper and move on to bigger and better things. Jenna knew if
her story was ever going to get any attention, she had to make it a lot more popular than it already
was. And to do that, Jenna had to reduce herself to doing what the Spinster did best. Lie. Lie your
way to a big story. Jenna smoothed her curly, short black hair away from her face. She cringed. She
didn't like lieing (spelling..again). But, she reasoned with herself, it would only be temporary.
And no one would care if she stretched the truth...a little.

Reagan sat relaxed in her home of many years. She liked living here. It was a nice place. Lots
of trees. Reagan sighed contently as she settled back comfortably in the rocking chair on her
large back porch. She glanced around for something to read. A copy of The Spinster lay open on
the coffee table. She rolled her eyes. "Why does my mom bother with this junk?" Reagan wondered
quietly. She shrugged. She was bored so why not.
She flipped through the pages, skimming the articles. Something caught her eye. It was a picture
of her friends...and her. She raised her eyebrows. What was 'In A Heartbeat' doing in here?
Reagan read carefully:
'In A Heartbeat, a rather unknown show, is up for an Academy Award. The cast of the Disney show were
all very excited when interviewed.'
Reagan narrowed her eyes. "Wha..?" She said aloud.

"Guys! You won't believe this!" Reagan cried early the next morning. The group was still groggy and
of course, that worried Marv.
"What's wrong?" Shawn asked. He approached the upset looking blonde. She thrust the paper into his
chest.
"Read it. Just read it." Reagan said through gritted teeth. Jackie, Chris and Danso crowded around
Shawn and read the article over his shoulder.
"No way!" Shawn shouted.
"That isn't true! Lies!" Jackie exclaimed, ripping the paper away from Shawn and examining the
peice for herself.
"Why would they write that? That can't possibly be true! Marv! Lorissa! Read this!" Chris yelled.
He pulled the paper away from Jackie and ran over to the director and casting agent.
"Hmm." Lorissa said after reading. Marv shook his head.
"Ignore it kids. Sure, they are lieing, but at least it isn't negative." Marv yelled. The crowd
murmured with agreement and went back to what they were doing.

Jenna read her article for the umpteenth time. It was strange reading something she'd written. Usually
her peices only made it as far as the editor's trash can. But being that she paid the print man to
sneek this in, it all made some sense. Jenna wondered though how long it was take before the lies
caught up with her. She shook the thought away.
"It won't." She whispered reassuringly. "It won't."

After three weeks, many untruthful articles had come out about In A Heartbeat. All had been promoting
the show and ratings had gone way up. Lorissa had been getting dozens and dozens of letters. Jenna
heard the news. She was estatic. Jenna leaped onto her couch and danced on the pillows. Now the
stage was set. It was time to bring out 'the picture'.
