[US Entertainment] Popular all over the world

"Yes, Uncle John, the hospital records have been faxed."

"Ms. Ann Dexter-Jones introduced me to CAA's agent who is very professional, and I think it's worth the price... What, Dad doesn't want to see me, let me study and play well? Well, I listen to you of."

"It's okay to say, yes, I want to apply to the school for early graduation, but I'm not planning to go to college right now. No problem, I remember. Mmmmm, I have a good time on campus in LA, Santa Monica Middle School It's fun, don't worry."

"I have a lot of work during the summer vacation, so I probably don't plan to go back to New York. The accountants and lawyers you introduced have already been contacted. I'm fine...then goodbye, Uncle John."

On the morning of the shooting day, Josie ended the phone call with her guardian and only took a week off. Finally, she managed to remember that she was still a middle school student.

She almost thought she had joined USC.

Who made the short film shot now, which was basically shot on the campus of USC and its surroundings, making her almost forget that she really has school to study and homework to write.

The homework in the literature class seems to be the after-reading impression of writing a novel?

As for the rest, she really doesn't like group work, especially the campus atmosphere at Santa Monica Middle School is not very pleasant.

"I hope they don't mess with me." She threw herself onto the sofa and muttered to herself, "After all, I've been very angry recently, maybe I should drink some herbal tea or something..."

bell--

As the bell echoed throughout the campus, a large number of middle school students rushed out of the classrooms of Santa Monica Middle School. Most of them sprinted towards the school cafeteria, and a small part took out the lunches they had already prepared. Or head to a restaurant near the school gate for a delightful lunch and California sunshine.

However, there are always those who are keen to destroy the good mood of others.

According to common sense, Josie, who is good-looking and well-off, should be the most popular group of talents in the school, but in fact, for the middle school students here, this transfer student is withdrawn and arrogant, so she is called Isolation is only reasonable.

The bullying really started because the most popular girl in the school, the cheerleader Ashley Mills, told her friends that Josie was just a homeless wretch who was currently living in Mills because of her mother's kindness Jiajia is actually a poor ghost, and even her father went to jail.

Just like that, the transfer student was still not satisfied, so she cried and asked Ashley to be in the same group with her, Ashley had to reluctantly agree. The girl said she didn't know.

Many people talked about the transfer student's plight, Ms. Mills' kindness and generosity behind her back, and Ashley's latest fashion and bags.

Immediately afterwards, all students in the school were asked not to talk to Josie, otherwise they would be as unwelcome as transfer students and would never receive any party invitations.

Just like now, Josie was looking for a seat in the restaurant with a plate, and heard many people whispering along the way——

"Ewww, the dead rats in her closet stink and she's not screaming."

"It's scary, she should at least be scared, not just as if nothing happened."

"After all, she is so weird, isn't she? I heard that she transferred from another school to become a Hollywood actress. I don't know what gave her courage."

"Hey, this is Los Angeles, girls, every homeless guy on the street is an actor."

"But a person like her doesn't deserve to be famous in Hollywood. I heard that her father used to be a low-level gangster, and he got a little money by cheating."

"Yep, it's too pitiful for Ashley to meet such a person. She told me that Josie Horton witnessed her mother committing suicide in front of her when she was a child. Obviously, she was stimulated and had brain problems—"

Before the words were finished, the girl who was in the middle of the conversation felt a huge force clamping her active throat, followed by screams and a whirl, her head was thrown onto the table in the restaurant.

She struggled to raise her eyes, and was facing the terrified face of Ashley Mills on the previous plate and on the other side of the table.

Then, intense pain and humiliation swept over her.

"Fxxk! I'm going to kill you, Josie Horton!" The girl saw Josie directly above her from the corner of her eye, and shouted angrily, "You're dead! I swear!"

Time and time.

The metal tip made a tooth-piercing noise on the table, less than five centimeters away from the girl's eyeballs, which made everyone stagnate at the same time, and even the air was quiet for a few seconds.

But the instigator took back the table knife as if nothing had happened, and twirled it around his fingertips like a show of skill.

Ashley, who had witnessed all this at close range, first came back to her senses, and said with some stuttering, "Josie, calm down! You... what do you want to do?"

This is really because Josie's expression is so scary, everyone noticed for the first time that the transfer student easily pressed her on the dining table with one hand, and held the table knife in the other very naturally, with a sullen face, It was as if the whole person was covered with a layer of piercing frost, which could stab people at any time.

Josie didn't give Ashley a look, but lowered her head and said to the girl who was struggling in her hands: "What's your name? Oh, it doesn't matter. What matters is that people with brain problems, Killing is a plea of ​​not guilty—understand?"

The girl was even more terrified and trembled involuntarily.

She took a hard look at Josie, who was watching her condescendingly. When she noticed her small movements, she responded with a cold smile, just like the perverted murderer that only appeared in movies.

It made her feel like a dead fish.

Thinking of this, the girl felt a chill down her spine: God, what kind of monster did I mess with!

Josie grinned at the corner of her mouth, looking a little happy.

Yes, violence cannot solve all problems, but many times, it can solve most problems.

And very efficient.

From an early age, Josie understood this truth.

"Yes, I'm sorry... I'm very sorry!" The girl begged for forgiveness with a trembling voice, "I don't dare anymore, Josie, it was Ashley who hinted at us to speak ill of you, you shouldn't be looking for me!"

Josie raised her head upon hearing this, and shifted her gaze to Ashley, who was facing a formidable enemy, "Should I believe these words, my good friend, dear Ashley?"

Ashley opened her mouth, but before she could explain, she was interrupted by Josie.

Josie smiled, sweet and fresh.

She tilted her head, and said sweetly, "What to do, I don't really believe it." Her tone was sticky, and the ending was deliberately prolonged.

The crowd was silent.

Josie let go of her grip, and let the girl run away, while she straightened her body and faced Ashley.

"Oh-oh, you live in a house I rented with money, and you begged me to give you the second-rate goods eliminated in the cloakroom. Even the suit you are wearing is what you eagerly asked me to buy when we were shopping. —How dare you displease me, right?"

The silver table knife was flipped between Josie's fingers, like a show of skill, which made people horrified. She happily watched Ashley's expression turn bad at a speed visible to the naked eye.

She asked again, "How dare you, my good friend, my dear Ashley?"

Ashley took a step back as if being forced by someone, with a frightened look on her face, but she didn't dare to look at the expressions of other people around her.

It was because Josie's aura was so strong that the girl was in a state of confusion for a moment, and she didn't know how to deal with it. After all, a female middle school student's tearing X was at most the level of a cat-fight like pulling her hair and slapping her face. It's a bit scary to have a hammer on the head and a knife on it.

And what's even more frightening is that the coward who was bullied suddenly broke out, and he looked like a schizophrenic... Mental illness, it seems that he can really defend his innocence?

It was no secret that Ashley was kicked out of the mansion, because the Mills mother and daughter were seen moving back to their previous small apartment, but she prevaricated on the grounds that the apartment was more cozy.

The people onlookers have resumed whispering, and even the decibels have increased too much, which can be regarded as a noisy level. From time to time, there are words like "this is the truth", "she is right", and "no wonder". It reached Ashley's ears.

"No, it's not true!" Ashley exclaimed, "Josie Horton is making up a lie, and my mother and I just pity her and—"

"Ha." Josie chuckled and crossed her arms, "Come on, even if my father temporarily cooperates with the investigation and his property is frozen, but my mother has left me a legacy that can't be spent, I will need a superior Poor old model who sells herself on a yacht? You must not understand how happy you can be with money."

People around burst into laughter, obviously because this statement made sense, anyway, Josie thought so.

Ashley couldn't defend herself again with her barren language, so she could only stand there in embarrassment for a while.

Some people even ridiculed: "What kind of wealthy father, who has been lost for many years, came to the door and became rich overnight. Could it be that Josie is your father, Ashley?"

Josie shrugged and frowned slightly, "Don't say that, she's a bit too ugly."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Is Ashley ugly?of course not.

But compared to Josie, there was indeed a gap in their appearance.

Especially Josie's hair was re-dyed and styled today, and those mediocre pink clothes were thrown away. Her face is still the same, but her whole person has changed.

Some girls even wanted to ask Josie which brands Josie's skylark yellow letter T-shirt, light-colored jeans and white sneakers came from.

——especially the pair of jeans, which are worn loosely at the low waist, very street-like, yet very cool and cute.

Ashley faltered.

His face was as pale as his dead father.

Josie clicked her tongue and asked with a smile, "How does it feel to be bullied?"

Ashley glared at her fiercely: "You did it on purpose, you've been putting on a show, and it's you who tempted us to move, that's why all this happened!"

"I'm not the one spreading rumors." Josie patted the dust on her hands that didn't exist. "Remember to remind your mother to pay the bill, sweetheart. Otherwise, the lawyer will come to your door."

After she finished speaking, she picked up her own plate and sat down in an empty seat in front of everyone's attention. She was hardly affected by the farce to eat.

withdrawn?

arrogant?

She can indeed form a world by itself, but the reason why this world is full of awe-inspiring and inviolable aloofness is because no one is qualified to pick this high mountain flower, and no one dares to disturb her.

The big scene in the restaurant turned the campus idol Ashley into a campus trash in an instant, and Josie Horton's name began to be spread among these middle school students.

what?

No one reported this to the school?

Please, let's not talk about whether the school will take care of such small disputes, the behavior of snitching is so bad, only trash would do that.

And according to the three views of these second-year teenagers, Josie is so cool...

Josie learned something about graduating early, but the teacher of this school actually suggested that it would be easier for her to suspend school directly, because she thinks that Hollywood actors are mostly from the bottom and don't pay much attention to academic qualifications, so why waste time.

Is this the common saying in the world that you want to be famous as soon as possible?But if she changed her original school, at least she would be advised to apply for college, because for the elite schools on the Upper East Side, the rate of admission is very important.

"What does it matter? The big star Robert Downey Jr. did the same thing. He even took my literature class back then." The lady boasted, "I may have contributed to his Oscar nomination last year."

Josie rolled her eyes inwardly.

and many more.

Robert Downey Jr.?

She seemed to remember her emergency bill...
