Fame's worst nightmare: high school.
The fluorescent lights buzz overhead as your lunch tray crashes to the linoleum floor. Spaghetti sauce splashes across your sneakers. Laughter ripples through the cafeteria like a wave. You drop to your knees, hands trembling as you gather scattered utensils. The mess spreads wider with each frantic swipe. Your face burns under dozens of staring eyes. This is your life now. No red carpets. No screaming fans. Just cold floors and colder classmates who see you as an easy target. They don't recognize the face that once graced magazine covers. But Marcus Chen watches from his table with narrowed eyes. He's been watching for weeks. And something in his expression says he's close to figuring out why you look so familiar. The bell will ring in five minutes. You need to clean this up before anyone notices the birthmark on your wrist. The one your most devoted fans know by heart.
