Chapter 18

25 minutes later

Zahara: *gets a phone call from Trent* Hello?....WHAT? RIGHT NOW? LIKE AT THIS MINUTE?...oh okay seven minutes. Wait–SEVEN MINUTES? THAT'S NOT ENOUGH TIME. *looks down at her outfit* eh, better than nothing. Okay, okay, I'll change quickly. Bye bye. *hangs up and runs upstairs*

Cai Lu: What was that?!

Zahara: TRENT CALLED ME SAYING I HAVE TO GET TO A LIVE INTERVIEW IN 20 MINUTES. THE CAR IS COMING IN 7 MINUTES FOR ME. I NEED TO CHANGE. HELP.

Caima: *quickly get up running up to Zahara's room*

5 minutes later

Zahara: *is changed into

but the black choker doesn't have the cross charm. Trying to fix her shoes as she walks forward since she's rushing.*

Tae: *Had finished getting ready, is walking down the hall to go downstairs and notices Zahara. Realizes she's a bit too close to the staircase and she's not paying attention. Quickly gets to her, snaking his arm around her waist, pulling her to him before she ends up falling down the staircase, injuring herself*

Zahara: *in a bit of a shock, she looks up at Tae with wide eyes*

Tae: You've got to be more careful. I won't always be around.

Zahara: *rolls her eyes playfully* thank you..*fixes the strap for her high heels* alright...you can let go now.

Caima: *walking out of Zahara's room*

Tae: *shakes his head and kisses her* good luck on your interview

Caima: *freeze while grinning*

Zahara: *smiles* tha–

Caima: *scream as they begin to fangirl*

Taera: *look at Caima, and begin to laugh*

Zahara: *turns red and hides her face against his chest*

Cai Lu: YARI!!

Luma: HURI-AH!!

Yoongi: *from downstairs* WHAT'S GOING ON?

Caima: *run to wherever Huri and Yari are*

Cai Lu: WE JUST SAW TAE AND ZAHARA KISS!

Hari: WHAT?!

Luma: IT WAS SO CUTE!!

Yoongi: YAAA! JUST DATE ALREADY!

45 minutes later

Huri: *screams as she runs into the living where everyone else is, quickly grabbing the remote and changing the channel*

Everyone but her: HEY!

Huri: OH SHUSH!! WE FORGOT ABOUT ZAHARA'S INTERVIEW

Yari: WAIT IT'S ON TV?

Cai Lu: OH SHIT!! I FORGOT ABOUT IT!

Luma: SHE DID SAY LIVE

Namjoon: WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR THEN?

Huri: I DON'T REMEMBER WHICH CHANNEL IT'S ON!–oh wait..ehehe......she sent it to me a while ago...*checks her phone and puts on the channel that the interview is going on*

(A/N: when the name is underlined, that means it's coming from the tv)

Interviewer: You are apart of MTV's Dicey, right?

Zahara: Indeed I am

Huri: OH FUCK! FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.

Cai Lu: WHAT?

Huri: I FORGOT TO WATCH THE SEASON FINALE!!

Namjoon: ....I only got through half of the season...

Everyone but him: WHAT?

Namjoon: what?

Jin: You're her fanboy

Namjoon: and? Taehyung is her boyfriend, he hasn't watched an episode.

Tae: HEY! Don't bring me into this! And plus...I'm not her boyfriend

Hoseok: yet

Interviewer: Your character, Lila Grace McKellen, let's talk about her.

Zahara: Lila is a depressed 17 year old girl who has anxiety, and insomnia. She is a thinker and with that her mind is a dark place. She thinks and thinks about everything but anything. After she has found what she is looking for, she thinks again. Something she always thinks about, is her past. Lila has a dark past. She didn't live the perfect childhood. In fact, she had to be on high alarm and terrified her whole childhood. Her father, Mitchel is psychotic and abusive, to her, Marie, and her brother, Jacob. Now speaking of Jacob, he was Lila's older brother by a year. He would always try his best to protect her and was always there for her whenever he could. What happened with Jacob is well, the reason why Mitchel went to jail. Mitchel was obviously abusing Jacob when Jacob starts to fight back as he now had the strength to do so. The fight was really bad as the outcome was the death of Jacob. Their father has killed Jacob. The worse part is, he didn't feel upset. The only emotion Mitchel felt was happiness from murdering his son and went to try murder Lila. Lila had run away from the house while it was happening to get help which she did and her father went to jail. With that, Marie was already a heavy drinker and depressed but after her husband went to jail, she became a heavy smoker as well. She divorced her husband a while back but couldn't get anyway from him. The last thing Mitchel said to Lila was in a very short letter saying:

"Even if I'm in this cell, just know that when you least expect it...you're next."

Which is the letter you see Lila reading a lot, over and over again. Since receiving that letter, Lila has trained in self defense of any kind. She has good aim, amazing stealth, good climber and is a very fast runner. Even though she has a dark mind that can figure and realize anything, she chooses to hide it. She always plasters a smile across her face and laughs a lot. She chooses, of course, to not speak about her mother or her past with anyone except for one person which is her best friend Hannah who ends up killing herself as you saw in the last episode of the season. So when she's with other people, they see Lila as a very positive, big hearted, bubbly person, who always wants to have fun. Lila is always up for any sort of adventure especially if it puts her in danger. She loves the adrenaline rush she gets from it since it distracts her from her mind. Even though Lila has major trust issues, she is one of the most trustworthy people ever. Lila was never about the social life. She literally had only one friend in the beginning of this season. I find it nice to see how Lila ended becoming friends with the other main characters of the show. Anyway, even though all of the characters seem so different from each other, they are all so the same. They just display it in different ways. Clearly as you can see, the guy who ends up becoming closest out of the group ends up falling for Lila. Lila obviously doesn't see it even though everyone in the group teases him about it BUT *looks directly towards the camera* of course, if you already watched the season, you're ahead because you already know this.

Interviewer: So the summary of the show is "A group of teenagers are just living through their precarious youth. Ups and down. Positive and negatives. Getting into situations that you'd think would be experiences in movies. Betrayal, jealousy, love, hate, confusion, anger, drama, all a roller coaster of emotions as they are trying to find who they are as a human." How would you sum up the show?

Zahara: I say that this show is based on actual experiences that a majority of teenagers face as they are growing up but as well as some experiences that aren't usual. These teens in the show are all just trying to find themselves throughout their precarious youth. With several ups and downs, even though you wish to be alone at times, it's hard because you always need that ONE person. In this case, after they all meet, everything is better when they are together but when they separate, it's straight back into reality. Agh, it's difficult to explain, you really have to watch the show to really sort of understand. *laughs a bit*

Interviewer: So, who would you say is the best character or who is the strongest character?

Zahara: Not to be bias or anything but I would say Lila has to be the best and most strongest character. Her whole life has been a struggle. Even though she overthinks, she never truly thinks about herself. As in she ALWAYS puts others before her. Which is why all the characters go to Lila for any problems they have because she gives amazing advice and listens to everything but anything they have to say. As strange and confusing as it sounds, Lila is everyone's balance in the show. Everyone depends on Lila but only if you really pay attention, you can see that it's true. She puts herself in dangerous, sticky situations in order to help/save a person.

Interviewer: so I know you have been pretty busy being a K-Pop idol as well still being a YouTuber and all. How did you manage to be able to film for the show?

Zahara: ahh filming for Dicey as I was preparing for LFTM's debut as well as making YouTube videos and as well as developing music solo all at once was a major challenge. It definitely wasn't easy and I'm glad I managed to pull it off..NOT by myself of course!

Interviewer: Speaking of developing solo music..are you coming out with anything new soon?

Zahara: uh..let me just say to just keep an eye out.

Boys: WAIT WHAT?

Girls: hehe..

Namjoon: WHEN?

Interviewer: oooh you heard that here first folks!

Zahara: *starts laughing while covering her mouth*

Interviewer: at such a young age, you have so much success, how does that make you feel?

Zahara: Shocked. Definitely shocked. Never did I EVER think I would get to a point like this. Hell back to when I was starting out on YouTube, I never thought I would get one subscriber that wasn't Victoria *both Zahara and the interviewer begin to laugh* It's ridiculous..in an amazing way, of course.

Interviewer: and it's only going to get crazier as it is only the start of LFTM

Zahara: *smiles* indeed

Interviewer: *pouts before she looks at camera* that is all the time we unfortunately have today here with the lovely, Zahara Caldera.

Zahara: *waves at the camera* bye! *stops waving and looks at the interviewer* it was a pleasure to spend time with you again!

Interviewer: aw thank you, you are such a sweet girl, you're such a pleasure to have. Hope to see you again soon as I, and the rest of the staff love having you here.

Zahara: *still smiling as she stands up and walks over to hug the interviewer* thank you so much! Thanks for giving me so much love on here. *waves before walking off stage*

Everyone at Lambency Records

Trent: alright, so your CEO and I have prepared a little surprise for you all. *camera crew enters*

Everyone: *looking towards the camera crew*

Zahara: *looks back at Trent* alright...what sort of–

Trent: I'll get to that. You will all be separated into groups of two. Now, clearly you guys *referring to BTS* have an odd number of members as so do you girls but altogether create an even number. So there will be one group that's boy and girl. That group will be the two youngest of each group, Jungkook and Zahara. You two are partners and if you don't mind, stand next to each other.

Zahara: okay..*stands next to Jungkook as they take a step forward from everyone*

Trent: I'll say the girls first because, ladies first, right? Huri is with Cai Lu as Luma is with Yari. Now for the boys, Jin, you are with Hoseok. Yoongi, you are with Taehyung. Namjoon, you are with Jimin. Stand next to each other, please. *they do as told* great. Now, today you will all be filming for what's going to be going up onto BigHit's YouTube channel. This will be a treat for both you and your fans..or well at least we hope that it will be a treat for you all. It will definitely be a treat for your fans though.

Everyone: *confused as they look at their partners*

Camera crew: *begin to film*

Trent: Today what you all will be doing is a scavenger hunt.

Zahara: *quickly goes on her phone, without Trent noticing and orders an Uber*

Everyone: *eyes widen, some smile, some excited, Yoongi worried*

Trent: *hands a list to each group* you will be required to go to different spots in LA. You will have only an hour to try and get as much of these tasks done.

Everyone: *looking over the list*

Yoongi: I will be in charge of direction, you are going to get us lost.

Tae: no I won't!

Yoongi: can't risk it

Tae: *pouts but then smiles as he giggles, he's excited*

Trent: You will each get 2 cameramen following you all around. The scavenger hunt begins...*looks at his watch and waits a bit of time* NOW

Everyone except Trent and other staff of Lambency: *begin running out of Lambency Records*

Zahara: *to Jungkook* once he said scavenger hunt, I ordered us a ride.

Jungkook: That's clever! I was wondering what you were doing..what should we do first?

Zahara: Uh..*looks over list again* Santa Monica isn't tooo far from here so I think we should go there first.

Jungkook: alright let's do that

Zahara: *their Uber arrives three minutes later and she tells him to go to the Santa Monica Pier. Zahara has her wallet in her back pocket, Jungkook offered to pay but she was too quick. She would give him her wallet but she knows he won't let her pay at all but her wallet will fall out because she has a feeling they'll be running, so she hands him her wallet to keep in his pocket. During the ride, Zahara called ahead to the aquarium to let them know what is going on, who she is and blah blah blah* okay, okay, so..let's go to the aquarium first. We have two tasks there. We have to *laughs a bit* take a selfie with a Moray Eel and a Moon Jelly..hm

Zahkook: *they continue walking with the two cameramen following them*

Zahara: *points* there it is!! By the way..I went ahead and called to let them know what is going on so we'll be able to enter quick because we are expected.

Jungkook: again with the clever ideas

Zahkook: *running to the aquarium*

After an hour they all meet back at Lambency Records
Zahkook got the most done
Lari came in second
Minjoon came in third
Curi came in fourth
TaeGi came in fifth
2seok came in last

Curi, TaeGi, and 2seok weren't really trying, they were really just enjoying themselves. Not that the others didn't enjoy what they were doing, but you know what I mean.

Trent: well congrats to Zahara and Jungkook, but no one is a loser. Everyone will be treated to dinner by me. Anything fun that you would like to share with everyone right now? *the cameras are still rolling that's why*

Tae: when we were by the beach, I took my shoes and socks off, sticking my feet into the water. I told Yoongi hyung that he should join me..but instead he pushed me when I wasn't paying attention and I fell. So we had to go to one of the shops and buy new shorts. Yoongi hyung just kept laughing at me, I was laughing too though, so it's fine because then I tripped him and he fell too, but not into the water like I did. Only his shoes got wet.

Yoongi: I liked these pair too. I had to get myself a new pair.

Tae: you had to? I paid for them.

Jimin: what a liar *about Yoongi, laughs and cause everyone else to laugh*

Namjoon: Jimin was dehydrated. He kept asking if we could get water, but when we did, he took about what? 3 sips of it? and he needed to go to the bathroom.

Jimin: *still laughing, as he tilts his head back*

Namjoon: so we had to go to some restaurant, I don't remember what it's called, asking if we could use the restroom since Jimin didn't want to use some porter potty, which I don't blame him for. The hostess said that the bathroom was for paying customers only, so I went with the simplest and asked for a drink to go.

Jimin: I didn't want to piss myself!

Namjoon: I know, but we wasted quite some time. You really took your dear time in there. I had to sit there at the waiting area while an elderly woman was hitting on me!

Everyone: *begin laughing*

Luma: Yari and I got henna tattoos. Not big ones, and not the same one.

Lari: *show them*

Huri: it's pretty! Lulu, we should have done that!

Yari: what did you girls do?

Huri: uhm..well we went to Muscle Beach, and we tried some of what it offered there. We stayed on the swings for quite a bit and uh..

Cai Lu: we saw good looking guys.

Luma: of course you did *laughs as well as everyone else*

Hoseok: Jin hyung and I just walked around.

Jin: We explored and if we happened to pass something that's on the list, we did it. It's a really beautiful day!

Trent: I hope you all enjoyed...Zahara, Jungkook, you both stayed rather quiet. You don't have anything to share?

Jungkook: *looks at Zahara*

Zahara: *looks at Jungkook as she's hugging a Moon Jelly plush then at Trent and everyone else* I adopted a Moon Jelly *shows the certificate*

Trent: you..adopted a Moon Jelly?

Zahara: *nods*

Trent: all you had to do was take a selfie with it.

Zahara: we did take a selfie with one, but I felt like adopting, it for a good cause. I wanted to feed "my" Moon Jelly but it would have used up quite some time and I probably would have had to go back at a certain time. I'll do it next time whenever I have the time to.

Jungkook: even though we were in a rush, we passed through to see some really cool things. My wish for the future is that we comeback here and we could all visit the aquarium together. It's really beautiful.

Huri: Yeah, Cai Lu and I definitely didn't go to the aquarium, it must be cool though!

Cai Lu: I can't believe you adopted a Moon Jelly. Wait...does that mean you can take it home?

Zahara: No silly

Tae: I kind of..thought you would be able to

Zahara: No, no, I can't but I can come for free visits year-round

Everyone except Zahkook: oooh

Namjoon: how much did it cost?

Zahara: only $50 but I wouldn't necessarily call it a cost, more of a donation. I will donate more later on though.

Trent: Well, congrats to Zahara then..

Everyone: *knowing that they must end it. Some waving, some blowing several kisses, others holding up a finger heart or two*

Huri: Bye everyone! We hope you enjoyed this little scavenger hunt we did!

Namjoon: We sure did! But I'm sure you all will love it!

Everyone: BYE!!

Head of the camera crew: That's a wrap!

Camera crew: *stop filming*

Everyone: *smiling as they begin to high five each other*

Trent: Time to go eat!
