Will gave Sarah some information about the awards show for her article. It wasn’t anything outrageously embarrassing for anyone, but it was something Sarah never could have found out on her own. The host, Alyssa Mason, accidently ripped a chunk out of her skirt during a dance sequence onstage. Her dance partner, rapper TZ, grabbed her skirt and purposefully ripped it into a miniskirt, all while they were still dancing. It was like a scene from an old movie. The audience thought it was part of the show, but when Alyssa got off the stage, her skirt practically disintegrated. She needed to make an unscheduled costume change, as the show was targeted toward teens. Will and two other male celebrities were backstage preparing to present when they were asked to be a human privacy shield for Alyssa’s costume change. The story helped Sarah, but she felt bad that she was using Will. He assured her that the show’s host had talked about the incident in an interview after the show and that he had just added more details. The article made Sarah a hero for the week, but it also escalated her problem of people asking about Will. She wanted to be with him, more than anything, and it hurt just to hear his name.

She ended up having to work the next two weekends, so by the time she was able to visit Will, he was in preproduction. He was busy training to do his stunts for the film and rehearsing lines with his costars. Sarah remembered what he had said about getting to know his costars. Even though they talked every day and had video chats whenever they were able, Sarah was nervous about Rachel. She tried not to make it obvious how much it bothered her, but he could tell. Will was honest with Sarah and told her everything. He and Rachel spent several days together going over lines and went out to dinner with other cast members. Will even introduced Rachel to Sarah on the phone one day, and Sarah talked to her for about fifteen minutes. That helped. Sarah trusted Will, but being away from him was making her crazy.

By the beginning of the third week of her internship, Sarah’s supervisor was getting greedy and wanted her to dig up dirt on celebrities. She was supposed to scour the Internet to locate articles of interest, then try to confirm or refute information through the various networks she was provided. Sarah didn’t want to do this kind of reporting—it wasn’t writing. She wanted to be working on real stories, not following up on gossip. Sarah had thought the internship was going to be more writing than reporting garbage. She wasn’t a journalist. She had expected to be an unpaid, abused gofer, not someone who actually contributed to the gossip problem.

That night, she spoke to Will and told him all about what was happening at the magazine. She complained just a little too much about her situation, and his curt response shocked her.
