Another Cinderella story (Juke)

Meeting again

Julie's POV

I woke up to someone snapping pictures of me. When I opened my eyes, I saw Carrie and Kayla taking pictures of me and laughing. I stood up and try to take their phones away but they were quick.

Carrie: Aw is little Julie embarrassed of how she looks?

Kayla: She looks like Cinderella with those clothes.

Julie: Delete NOW!

Carrie: Oops just posted it.

I just stood there. I can't believe they would stoop so low.

Carrie: Aw is she gonna cry?

Kayla: Oh my God she is.

They both laughed and I just ran upstairs to my room. I jumped on my bed and started crying, not because of Carrie and Kayla, because of this life. I never asked for this. I wish my parents were here. What did my dad ever see in Lillian? She was rude, uncaring, and she never liked me from the moment she met me. It was almost night time and I decided to get out of the house again to clear my head. I walked around and went to Sunset Boulevard until I saw the Orpheum. It's been my dream to perform here. All of talented people perform here and they become legends. But with Lillian in the way, it would never happened. I went to sit down on a bench and put my head on my hands when I heard a familiar voice.

???: Is this sit taken?

I look up and saw Luke with a smile on his face.

Julie: It is now.

He sat down next to me and I looked away embarrassed of the tears that were once there.

Luke: You okay?

Julie: No, not really?

Luke: Do you want to talk about it?

Julie: *chuckled* Didn't we just met a few hours ago?

Luke: I'm a good listener.

Julie: Okay, fine I'll tell you.

I told him everything and he's right, he is a good listener. It's nice having to talk about this with someone other than Flynn and Willie. Even though we just met, I can feel this instant connection between us.

Luke: Can I give you some advice?

Julie: *nods*

Luke: Don't focus on them. Only focus on what your goals. You can't let the haters bring you down.

Julie: I feel like you got that from a TV show.

We both laughed at that and we just stared into each other's eyes. Again he has the most amazing hazel eyes I've ever seen. Suddenly, something interrupted the moment we had.

???: LUKE!

We looked towards the person who shouted his name. There one blonde guy with a pink hoodie and black jeans and another guy with black hair with a red flannel around his waist. By the looks of them, they look like they were out of breath.

Luke: Alex? Reggie? What's going on?

???: Sorry to interrupt this moment but our manager just called saying we need to go. Like now.

Luke: Seriously?

???: Yeah?

Then the blonde guy looked at me and he had a smirk on his face.

???: Who's your friend?

Luke: Uhhh.

Julie: You can call me J.
