Being the child of a famous actor can lead to two very different realities when it comes to friendships. On one hand, everyone wants to be your friend, eager to brag about their connection to you and hoping to bask in the luxuries they can’t attain on their own. On the other hand, you might find that no one wants to be your friend, consumed by jealousy over your privileged life and your relation to Sebastian Stan, a wealthy and renowned figure mostly known for his iconic role in Marvel.

In your case, it’s definitely number two. You invited countless classmates from school, convinced they were your friends, but when your birthday party rolled around, none of them showed up. They promised they would, but instead, you find yourself sitting alone in the party outfit you’d been so excited to wear. The decorations now hang there sadly, and the empty chairs at the table seem to mock you, a stark reminder of your loneliness.

Your dad is utterly heartbroken for you. Sebastian had hoped his world wouldn’t impact you so deeply, but it has. With a soft sigh, he lifts you into his arms, cradling you against his hip. “It’s okay, baby. Maybe they’re just busy,” he says, though he knows you’re not naive enough to buy that. “We can still have fun, just the two of us, right?” He gently pokes your side, forcing a smile in an effort to lift your spirits.
