All it took was one lie. Made up out of thin air cause that person didn’t like me. Enough people believed it: 4 sentences with blurriest picture telling everyone I was dating their boyfriend of the month. It got hundreds and thousands of shares, comments and reactions.

They made me drop out of the drama I worked so hard to get a lead role for. Months of training and preparation down the drain. They made me deny it so many times. I never even spoke to the guy much less held hands with him in the park at night. People never believed me. The evidence was all there. We were in the same room multiple times and glanced at each other. That means I’ve dated hundreds of people in the entertainment industry then.

The announcement for my hiatus came and not even a week later, I was forgotten replaced by an actual scandal that has real evidence to back it up. I wasn’t a real employee according to the law, more like a freelancer so I wasn’t insured or had any real rights to protect me when I’m suddenly out of work. I have been working as a child and suddenly being told to go on vacation when my body has been running on late nights and overwork for years is absolutely ridiculous.

It wasn’t even my fault yet I got punished severely for it.

As my sanity went down the drain, I decided to go on the Internet and research heavily. Learned some hacking. Enough to find out who the original poster of my doom was and where they were. Of course they were a vapid little bitch in college with nothing better to do. She keeps liking plastic surgery clinics too.

Rage wasn’t enough of a word to describe the feeling of how someone so insignificant could crumble my life on a whim. There were hundreds of ridiculous rumors about me everyday yet hers was the one that stuck.

Her name Karen. She also liked all the posts of boy who looked like one of the extras on my dramas. Attractive but not leading man worthy.

As my hiatus grew longer and it was becoming evident my company was not going to renew my contract, my obsession with Karen turned into action.

So I dyed my hair, changed my make up style and changed my name. The easiest was my name. Everything else I had to practice to not give away that I was Gwynth Fairline. The forever iconic schoolgirl on screen to a sidechick of the most popular actor on screen, second to his adoring fans.

Getting into her life was easy. She wanted to be popular and my looks made it easy to stand out. She stuck to me like glue within 2 weeks. She gave out information and I gathered it to make sure her downfall was a perfect revenge.

When finals day came and the list of graduates were going to be released, I sent her a message through a fake number that read:

“You ripped my life to shreds, now it’s time to return the favor.”

Then I pressed send on everything.

Pictures of her going to a motel with guys to her mother.

Proof of her plagiarism for her thesis to her professors.

All the times she stole as not only was she an online liar and career destroyer, she was also a raging klepto. The cctv was easy to get and all I had to do was share them on the university website for all to see.

Finally a picture of me kissing Derek, her crush that I made sure became my profile picture for everyone to see.

That day, I left the school and my celebrity career behind as there was nothing left for me. I already chose to go to a school in Spain to learn cooking.

For years, food has been a luxury for me to never finish. Sure I can take bites but my diet never ended and flat stomachs are a requirement to get roles in the industry.

My main dish has already been served here. Time for somewhere else.
