I rolled onto my side to face the tv. Aira insisted on getting me one, even through I don't use it much. Most of the movies I watch can be found online. Now, it's only use to keeping me up to date on the latest attacks. Which the Ladyblog and Blue Journal usually report first. So why do I even need a tv? Now a new computer would be great! My games could be updated more quickly. Gotta make a note of that: 'Convince Aira to trade in the tv for a new computer'./p

I doubt Mara has other friends beyond Sylive. "Devin's always with Aero and while Aero doesn't bother me, he perfers to not hang around his classmates. Than Floral is busy helping Ania with her comic." Guess my pool of friends is tiny. Since I've spent most of my time with Calex these past few years I've never noticed it before./p

He wanted to be her in a cooking compeition, which he'd never done, before asking her out. Mom on the other hand saw him as a rivial she liked to playfully tease.

"Don't ask." He started walking towards the elevator, ingoring the stares around us. Idols come through Miracle Entertainment all the time, Knight's no different. Yet, anytime he meets me in the lobby, we get tons of stares. The staff and workers act as if they've never seen Knight before. I know for a fact their use to his presence. Knight often stops to chat with the different workers in the building. No one treats him like the mega celebrtiy he is. Everyone calmly speaks with him, as if old friends. Now Royal on the other hand. The royal pain acts as if she's better than anyone else./p

Knight lead the way down the now familar hallway. Miracle Entertainment has seven floors. Each floor is devoted to a different purpose. The first floor is the lobby and confence rooms. Varies training rooms and the gym are on the second floor. The third holds all recording stuidos and music equietment. My favorite is the fourth floor. Here is where the different video and photoshoots take place. Make-up and warobre are convinaly located on the same floor. I don't know what the other three floors are used for.

He said with a sigh. "The idea is that Royal and I are to young teens in love." Knight gestured to the recreation of a romatice dinner date people stood by. A small table with two chairs sat in front of a night backdrop of the Effiel Tower. Rose petals weere shattered on the ground with fake food on the table. The main lights over the scene had been dimmed, leaving laterns as the only illateration for the area. "Yeah, they went all out."/p

A young male waved at us. "Finally!" He ran over. "Maybe you can talk some sense into Royal!" Full of energy, he grabbed Knight before he could reply and dragged him over. I've meet several memebers of Noble's personal staff. He's new. Liam is Noble's manager and know's their true idenfies. He's hired several trusted personaile to consistly work with Noble. These people also know the people breathen the masks. These people mostly dealt with make-up and warbore. They're the genius behind Noble's amazing looks./p

Royal's blonde hair was pulled into a high ponytail with light pink highlights. She wore a matching pink sundress and flats. Today's outfit is unusally pain. She's not wearing contact, which is weird. Normally, Knight and Royal either wear color contacts or masks to cover their face. No one's allowed to recongize them after all./p

Lilie threw her hands into the air./p

He glance at me, than back at Royal. "I have other more fun things to do."/p

Royal smirked. "Your only lead singer because of Ace. We both know things could've been very very different." She narrowed her eyes at her partner. Royal is on a whole other level when it comes to brattiness. Even Chole and Mara aren't this annoying! Can't believe I thought Chole was worst. Uck! I hate working with her. I can't image how Knight must feel. He can only do and say so much around other people. Luckily, only Noble's personal staff is here. Plus that new guy./p

Not wanting to be left alone, I followed after him. Noble's staff are the only one's who really know about me. Everyone else will think I'm some crazied fan who snuck in. I've wondered the building alone. Knight perfers not to leave my side in case something happens. When he can't be with me, he has me accompany Lilie or one of the other make-up artist. They're quite enjoyable to be around. Lilie likes to do my hair or try different make-up techqnuences on me. The other make-up artist ask me to take photos for them. As long as Royal doesn't randomly pop in, everyone has fun./p

I followed him into one of the lounge rooms on the floor. The room is large and spaceous. Ajustation to the door is a mini bar full of soda and other awesome junk food. A pool table stood in the back by the acarade games that lined the back wall. When you first walk in, a giant flat screen tv greeted you on the far wall. A massive couch and a few chairs were in front of the tv. "Knight."/p

Liam stood looking out the window of his office. As Noble's manger, he had been with them from the start. He knew how much Royal's comment about Ace hurt Knight. Oringally, Noble had been a duo consisting of Knight and Ace. But that was the past, there are three members in Noble now. "However, your actions were also uncalled for."/p

Royal had stormed in earlier in a huff. Surpisingly, she'd held in her temper long enough to reconnect what had happened. "Yes Lilie I know how Royal can be, you do to. Which is why I execpt better from you. Your older than her and no matter how she acts, your suppose to remain prossfical. What would've happened if we were somewhere else doing the shoot?" He glanced at her. "Can you honestly say you wouldn't have reacted the same?"/p

Lilie looked away. She once been his assissant, helping him in the early days of his career. Noble had been his first group assigned to him, without a supivsor consisly checking in or overruling his dissations. She knew better than anyone else how much Liam wanted Noble to successed, not just for them but for himself as well. "I would never do anything to ruin Noble or all of your hard work."/p
