The three of them started as innocent child performers in one of the network’s long-running shows (LS). Over the years, LS has been the show that started the career of several of the network’s current top stars, and has served as the way to hone the talent of potential stars.

When they entered the awkward stage, Talents 1, 2, and 3 had to adjust to the circumstances. Their network was discovering talents from reality shows and the competition became tougher At one point, Talent 3 (T3) jumped ship and was given a good role in one the remakes of the rival network. However, she was called back and rejoined the network. This time, the network gave her a contract.

Being younger, Talent 1 (T1) had to remain in LS while Talent 2 (T2) was offered a role with T3. Not much was expected as T2 and T3 were just doing a remake. As both were new, they had much to prove and they had to make sure they would be able to amass followers. The remake caught everyone by surprise, as T2 and T3 were noticed for their acting. T3 was the one who was celebrated because of her goodie role. Thus, T2 was not expected to shine because she played the villainness. However, to the surprise of T3’s camp, the network secured the services of T2 and offered her a contract as well.

Time brings unpredictable situations because the network risked a project that portrayed T2 in a lead role. This project was well-received, which was also a surprise. Adding a feather to her cap, T2 earned praises because she could effectively play the heroine-villainness spectrum. The comparison between T2 and T3 worsened. Meanwhile, T1 remained the best friend of T3 and supported her by listening and giving advice.

When T3 was paired off with Phenom Performer, her attitude changed with the successful endorsements and projects. Thus, T2 was again left behind, as the network could not find a suitable reel partner for her. Moreover, people wondered why it seemed that T3 hardly showed support for T2. Allegedly, T3 was not allowed to attend the activities with T2 in the lead, as her camp was afraid that her fame would be used. In short, the camp assumed that T3 will be talked about to promote any activity of T2.

As T1 was maturing as well, she realized that something was already different and she was no longer comfortable with the new attitude of T3, particularly towards T2. Thus, she distanced herself. When T3 had a celebration, some guests who were familiar with their friendship, were surprised that T1 and T2 were not invited. This time, T3 already had a new set of friends. Thus, the silence between T1 and T3 continues to brew. While T2 sensed that T1 and T3 have a gap, she was clueless that it had something to do with her.

‘Life is too short to waste any amount of time on wondering what other people think about you. In the first place, if they had better things going on in their lives, they wouldn't have the time to sit around and talk about you. What's important to me is not others' opinions of me, but what's important to me is my opinion of myself.’― C. JoyBell C.
