The fans were cheering for a young girl on a stage at the coliseum of her concert. The young, gorgeous girl, with her long golden brown wavy hair and crystal-like golden eyes, smiled and waved at all the people screaming for her attention. What a life she has...

"What is this?" Diana asked as she slammed her palm on the table, making Alessandra flinch slightly. "I-It's not that serious." Alessandra said.

Diana held up her hand, showing a photo of Alessandra on the phone she was holding. "Do you see yourself, Sandra? This is what you are. You are drop-dead gorgeous, you can't just be lesbian!"

"But I don't think there's anything wrong with being a lesbian, Miss Diana."

"Maybe in a normal person's world, it doesn't, but in your world, it does! Don't forget that you are a celebrity, Alessandra, men and women look up to you as their role model. What would your fans think if they find out you like girls? You don't think they'll disappear in just a snap of a finger? If that happens then you'll be nothing but a frail girl again, just like how you were before we accepted you into this industry. Remember, our company doesn't accept frail girls as celebrities."

"I can just... Not tell my sexuality to the public!"

"Even so, you still like girls, people will notice that. Fans always notice every single small detail about their favorite celebrity. I will give you 6 months to fix whatever you're on right now, that should be enough for you."

"Only 6 months!? But I don't-"

Diana opened the door and slammed it shut, leaving Alessandra alone.

"Meet Alessandra Leverose, your 13-year-old local idol!" The host said through the TV screen. Meanwhile, Alessandra paused it and walked in circles, eating her favorite bubblegum ice cream. Her best friend, Marie, was just sitting on the couch and watching Alessandra's meltdown. "Sandy, you have to calm down."

"How can I be calm!? Miss Diana gave me only 6 months to be a straight woman!"

Marie sighed, stood up and touched Alessandra's shoulder. "I know this matchmaking lady in Moscow, Lady Svetlana. I went there before and that's where I met my current boyfriend, Florian."

Alessandra's eyes sparkled and she set down the cup of ice cream. "Oh, thank you so much, Marie! You have no idea how grateful I am for this!"

Alessandra opened the door of the matchmaking lady's house. "Lady Svetlana?"

"Here I am, dear." Lady Svetlana said as she appeared from the dark shadows of her pantry. "You have a scheduled appointment with me, hm?"

"Yes, Ma'am, I really need a boyfriend."

Lady Svetlana clicked her tongue. "Alright, I have found someone while you were on your way here. His name is John Paul, he is 13 years old just like you and just as you requested, he doesn't use social media, he doesn't know anything about you."

Alessandra smiled. "I really appreciate your help, please be guided with my thanks." She said as she shook Lady Svetlana's hand and rushed to her designated meet-up area with her new boyfriend at the market square of St. Petersburg.

Alessandra went to her designated meet-up place at the market square. It was already 10:00 P.M. And she was all alone...

"I shouldn't have gone here..." Alyona mumbled to herself.

She suddenly heard some footsteps from behind her and she screamed as she pulled out her gun, closed her eyes tightly and aimed it at whoever was at her back.

"Woah!" Said the innocent-sounding voice of a boy. Alessandra opened her eyes slowly and let her hand fall to her side as she realized it was just a harmless young boy around her age. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you, do you know where Alessandra Leverose is?" Asked the boy.

Alessandra just stared at him. He looked so... Simple. Baggy clothes, messy dark hair, muddy brown eyes, tan skin, just like any normal person. "I-I am Alessandra Leverose." She replied.

"Oh, nice to meet you, girlfriend! My name is John Paul, John Paul McCartney." John Paul smiled and reached his hand out for a shake. Alessandra just ignored it and smiled back awkwardly. "Y-Yeah, nice to meet you too."

"It's pretty late out here, do you mind if I walk you home?"

"Yes, I mind- Uhh, I mean, no, of course I don't mind at all!" Alessandra faked a chuckle, mentally scolding herself for almost declining her very first boyfriend's offer.

John Paul nodded. "Alright then, lead me where you live."

Alessandra nodded back and started walking in the empty streets with John Paul. After a while of awkward silence, Alessandra broke it.

"U-Um... Have you had a lover before me?"

"Hm? Nope! You're my first."

"Oh, alright. Why did you sign up for matchmaking, then?"

"Well, I had to interact with a woman too, you know? My Mother died giving birth to my younger sister who died for the same reason too when I was 6."

"Oh, I'm... Sorry about that."

"It's okay, I was just telling but I'm not trying to guilt trip you or anything like that, I promise."

After a month of their relationship, Alessandra observed John Paul's obedience, patience and respect for her which she kinda liked about him in a platonic way. John Paul even went to the same school and class as Alessandra just to see her every day which was not a big deal at all.

One day, it was a Monday morning and Alessandra was talking to her friends.

"Guys, come on, it's not that hard, just don't let the whole school speak about my celebrity life or else I'm doomed with John Paul." Alessandra said.

"Fine, girl, we got you." One of her friends responded.

Alessandra smiled, happy that her friends were willing to help her at these times. "Well, if it doesn't concern you, I-"

"Oh, there you are, Alessandra Leverose... John Paul McCartney's girlfriend, right?" An older boy's voice appeared and Alessandra turned around, only to see a boy slightly taller than her that looked a bit similar to John Paul. He placed a hand on his chest as a form of introduction and smiled politely. "My name is Justin McCartney, John Paul's older brother."
