Gotta Start Somewhere

Everyone knows reality shows and soap operas and too cliché. Life isn’t like that. But in West Linn, the ‘Upper East Side’ found in little Oregon, life is dramatic. The girls don’t cry all the time and nobody falls in love and suddenly life is happy endings. People don’t always sleep together. And when they do, it’s a lot more dramatic. And the ensuing battle is always nasty. Hey, all’s fair in love and war! *Lots of love* Your Twisted Teen Tabloid

“The problem is that as much as I can’t force you to love me, I can’t force myself to stop loving you.”

One thing no likes but everyone gets- Rejection. “I’m sorry, but I just don’t like you in that way.” Ouch. And there’s nothing you can do to force yourself to get over someone. Love bites.

At the top of the love chain is our seemingly happy couple Devon Carter and Loretta Pointer being trailed by the Paparazzi. The chemistry the two shared in Slumdog Millionaire was obvious, but are the two stars really in love with each other, or each other’s characters? Meanwhile Dev’s pal from India harbors a secret love. West Linn’s upperclassman Keala thinks the couple is based on “fantasy, a cute little story.” I don’t know Keala, Dev doesn’t seem interested in you… And crushing on Keala is actor Berke.
So first he asks her to see Watchman. “Sure!” was her answer. “But isn’t that rated R? Are your parents going?”
“Oh. Umm… maybe we could see a different movie.”
“Yeah, a bunch of us want to see Transformers. We could in a big group.”
“I was thinking it would just be the two of us.”
“Oh. I don’t think that’s a great idea. I’m just going to with friends.” Ouch. Sorry dude, but Keala thinks your creepy, haha.
If Berke wants, he can always ask Kailey. She’s been head over heals for months. Not interested? Poor Kailey, she knows it’s a lost cause but that doesn’t mean she’s any less in love with him. If she could move on maybe she would notice the way Ryan looks at her… who knew the famous actor would fall for a West Linn girl?
Meanwhile, she won’t admit it, but it appears that Laverna has feelings for Ryan. Her friends notice it. I notice it. Why else would her favorite movie be Benjamin Button?
At the end of the chain is Darrius. He turned Laverna around and now she’s friendly to guys. He showed her the light. But now she’s leaving and he’s still in love. Funny how that works?
The bad boy at campus rakes in lots of lovers, but most importantly we find both West Linn good girls, Erika and Ariel, under his spell. Don’t you know better girls? When you try to date a player, you can only get burned.
There are some long-time couples in West Linn who claim to be happy. But really guys? For two years Jay and Virginia have been together. But Jay’s started hanging out with other girls. And the tension starts arising. One of those girls really wishes the two would break up. Ever since Andy met Jay two years ago (when he first dated Virginia) she’s been infatuated with the taken guy. And Andy has no clue that her friend Rupert “Burt” likes her.
Then there’s our dirty couple “Dani and Hunter” who have also been dating for two years. They make what Jay and Virginia do look like first grade. But in a relationship so full of sex, is their any true love?
And in our third big couple, Robert Finnley just pronounced his love for girlfriend Tally. But oops! Tally’s not so smitten… awkward turtle!
