Full Synopsis
They were best friends. He's always wanted more. Will his newfound fame destroy them?

Shannon: Ryker and I have been best friends since third grade. We were the poor kids, but that didn't matter. We had each other. And we had plans to get scholarships and make something of our lives. But now he's been discovered by a big-time director who wants to cast him as Prince Charming in an upcoming production of Cinderella.

Our plans have been flushed down the toilet, and Ryker's become famous with a ridiculous amount of money. Thanks to the paparazzi, girls are swarming him. And Ryker seems to love it. I feel like I'm losing my best friend, and I'm starting to wonder if I've been lying about my feelings.

Ryker: I've had feelings for Shannon for years, but she's kept me in the friend zone.

When a Hollywood director sees me in his niece's high school play, he casts me in his upcoming film. I'm on top of the world as my wildest dreams are coming true. I'm finally leaving behind my old life.

But Shannon's acting weird and withdrawn. I wish she could see that I don't care about the fangirls. Shannon's the only girl I've ever wanted.

But if I lose Shannon, will it really have been worth it?
