They began their way down the hall; Shauna chatting away about her performance, and how she wishes Serena could have seen it. Serena wasn’t much in the mood for talking. She was too battered and worn emotionally from the evening’s events to keep up a conversation. She certainly didn’t want to talk about HER performance.
“Well, there’s the stairs! They should take us to the offices upstairs!” Shauna said cheerfully.
Yeah, they were behind the stage. A place she wasn’t eager to go back too. But if it got her out of here…
“Heeeeeeeeeeeey it’s the movie star! Check it out, someone got a recording of your WHOLE performance! It’s a good look! Haha!”
It was another boy, about her age.
Serena looked at the device he was holding. Sure enough, a video was up, titles ‘Serena on Display’.
She went pale white. People were sharing the video. It was everywhere.
She grabbed the device and deleted the video quickly, then tossing it on the ground.
“Hey!” the boy yelled.
“That’s illegal to have! You could get in serious trouble!” Serena yelled.
She ran away up the stairs and went straight for the producer’s office. She opened the door to see her mother chatting with the producer.
“’Oh, Serena, dear, I’m sorry I didn’t come to you sooner, I heard what happened. I was being questioned about… THAT.” Grace said to a sad Serena. “This officer here is going to have to run an investigation about a video going around of the routine.”
“Well, ma’am” the cop said, “I wouldn’t get your hopes up. Data is hard to delete, if even one person has it, it can get sent and resent”
Grace shot the cop a glare “Did you really need to tell her that?!”
The cop jumped, mumbled a ‘sorry’ and left the room.
