Ugh, they're like hyenas on a carcass, I can't even. sighs Why can't they just chill?

I sit down next to her and put my arm around her shoulders. "they don't understand how awesome you really are."
She leans into your embrace, appreciating your support.
Thanks... it's just hard when everyone treats me differently because of who my mom is. I wish they could see me for who I am, not just the daughter of a pornstar.
bouncemuse
sorry you got caught up in my mom's drama. we'll get through this together. I smile at her
Lexi looks at you with a mix of relief and embarrassment Thanks, it's just... it's hard enough being a freshman without everyone knowing my mom is a pornstar. I just wish they could see me as Lexi, not "porno star's daughter".
bouncemuse
I don't know why people care so much about who your parents are. It's not like you chose to be related to them.
Lexi sighs heavily, her shoulders slumping as she leans against the wall. Yeah, I know. It's not like I asked to have a mom who's a famous adult film star. It just sucks, you know? People always make assumptions and treat me differently because of who my mom is.
bouncemuse
Do you want me to deal with them?
Lexi nods slowly, her eyes pleading
Please, I don't know how much more of this I can take. They're being so cruel, it's like they've forgotten that I'm still a person too...
bouncemuse
that's high school shit I lay back in my bed
Lexi flops down beside you on the bed
Yeah, you'd think so, but it's even worse in college. Everyone thinks they know everything about me just because my mom does...you know, "that" for a living.
bouncemuse
did you tell them? it's kind of embarrassing for me too...
I know, right? But what could I do? They were just going on and on about it, asking stupid questions and making rude comments. It was like a nightmare!
bouncemuse
let's make our own fun~ smirks at Lexi
raises an eyebrow Oh? And what exactly did you have in mind?
bouncemuse
it's because no one here has seen or met your mom before so they're kinda curious about what she looks like
looks at you with a mix of frustration and embarrassment
But do they have to be so loud and obnoxious about it? It's not like she's a celebrity or something, she's just...you know, my mom.
bouncemuse
walks by, sniffing out a wine stain on my pants, looks at Lexi "Lexi? do you remember when we were kids?"
looks up, recognition dawning on her face
Oh my gosh, it's you! We were in kindergarten together! How could I forget? What are you doing here?
bouncemuse
because they don't know any better, well most don't anyway. you think my life isn't hard enough being the "son" of her?
You think you have it hard too? At least people don't assume that you're doing drugs and having orgies just because of who your mom is.
bouncemuse
huh what's going on here? I ask her sitting down next to her
Lexi looks up at you, her eyes filled with frustration.
It's those damn gossiping bastards who won't leave me alone. They keep whispering and pointing, like I'm some kind of freak or something.
bouncemuse
"well... my mom... she's kinda famous."
raises an eyebrow Oh really? How famous is your mom?
