Very Funny Thames
You're so funny that I forgot to laugh.
After I settled in and brushed my hair, I walked out of the trailer and looked around to see anyone around my age, other than the brown haired boys whose curls seemed to bounce a little with every movement he made, who would have known hair could make someone more attractive than they already are.
Wait, what am I even thinking? He gave me a disgusting look and I'm over here gushing about how he looks and how good his hair looks on him.
If I could staple the little voice in my head that reads out my thoughts shut, I would do it.
I thought to myself as I looked around and spotted a girl with light brown hair, wearing a striped shirt and some high waisted shorts with cute sneakers on, she looked around my age or maybe a year younger than me.
Anyways, I needed a friend here just so that I didn't seem lonely and because I love making friends with my costars.
"Hey, I'm Y/n!"
I smiled as the girl looked away from her phone and made eye contact with me, she had gorgeous blue eyes that could pierce anyone's skin.
"I'm Madeleine, it's so nice to meet you Y/n."
Madeleine smiled at me, I looked around and notice it was quite literally just us outside of the trailers.
"Everyone is in their trailers getting it all together before walking to set, maybe we can walk together?"
Madeleine offered, I looked at her and nodded not even thinking twice about it, we waited a little bit and decided to get know each other better before walking to where the set was.
So far, I learned that Madeleine loves playing soccer, she loves acting, she's a thirteen year old turning fourteen years old, and she plays my best friend in the horror movie.

As well as two of her close friends from her past movie were always in this movie which was exciting, I thought maybe she could introduce me to her friends and we can become a small friend group.
We got to the set and met with the directors and producers, I smiled and introduced myself as we waited for the rest of the cast to turn up before we're told when we start working on the movie and when the movie is released.
"Oh, there's one of my friends! That's Mason Thames, he's fifteen years old and he's really cool."
I looked to where Madeleine was pointing out and noticed it was the same boy who I saw at the market and the same one that my mom pointed out, I rolled my eyes mentally and smiled at the girl before watching the boy make his way over here.
Just gotta be nice and don't come off as shallow or disrespectful, being rude isn't cute or quirky and it gets people to hate you.
"Hey I'm Mason!"
His beady little eyes met with mine and I wanted to immediately throw a punch but I took a deep breath and smiled, introducing myself to him, now a lot of people could say I'm overreacting and shouldn't let someone's facial expression get the best of me but I couldn't help it.
Sometimes the littlest things can get to you more than they should but you can't help it, especially if it's something that makes you overthink or makes you more insecure than what you already are.
Immediately when I looked at Mason, he looked back at me and I guess he could have felt my energy because his mood was way off than what it was originally, I felt a little bad because maybe he didn't mean it.

Soon enough, Mason and Madeleine were making jokes as I was lost in thought, I didn't know whether or not to be nice or if I should be mean to him but I didn't care either.
Which was a total utter lie, I cared a lot about what people think and if they think that I'm a bad person then I shouldn't be an actress.
"You look more lost than when I was playing Finney Blake in The Black Phone and was on the bed staring at the grabber."
Mason joked, I smiled at him but didn't laugh at all.
You're so funny that I forgot to laugh.
Okay that came out more harsher than I expected, I sighed and walked away from him, I didn't mean for it to come out more rude but it already left my mouth and if I were to say just kidding I'd sound even more stupid.
But does being mean to someone who made a disgusting face make me happy and justify my feelings?
Yes, yes it does and I would confront him about it if I wasn't totally afraid of confrontation.

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.
