Jamie and Henry

                                                  

My name is Lilly and for two weeks I was paid to live like the rich and famous. Paid to take Miss Sophia's place because she and I happened to look pretty much identical.

And yes it was as glamorous as you're imagining it to be. The Ridiculously expensive outfits... sparkly jewellery and adorable handbags... that was the fun part.

However not everything is perfect when your in the public eye...

There was a lot to living Anna's life that was't so much fun... Like learning all her songs and dance moves... performing in front of 75,000 screaming fans...dealing with her crazy schedule of interviews, photoshoots and appearances... and last but certainly not least, working with her manager, Donald.

But it was worth it. And no, not because I was paid a quarter of a million pounds to do it.... But because it saved my sister's life.

I was going to use the money I earned to buy my sister a new heart. But Jamie flatters, the famous actor and Anna's "pretend boyfriend", beat me to it. I have to say, the most surprising thing about this experience was definitely hanging out with Jamie.

At first I hated him...he was arrogant, rude and sarcastic. But he had another side to him. A side that was funny and sweet...and he saved my sister's life. But...I don't want to talk about him right now. Because that part of my life is over.

It's been a week and I'm normal and boring old me again.

Instead of lights, camera, action....I'm back to "would you like fries with that?" I have no idea what I'm going to do with my life. Because it's hard to be normal and boring again....when you've had a little taste of something different.

I grab my apron from my hanger and began to wipe down the tables in the restaurant with a damp cloth, swiftly moving from table to table, cleaning away any leftover crumbs or spills.

As I clean, I arrange the chairs neatly and adjust the table settings and I would occasionally check my work, making sure each table was spotless and ready for new customers to sit and enjoy their meals. From the corner of my eye, I notice (my boss) Sully approaching me.

He's always finds something to complain about. I wonder what's the problem this time.

" you've just had 2 weeks off doing who knows what... And now you're back and messing up orders left and right! Where is your head these days, Lilly? " he lectures me loud enough I'm sure the whole city can hear him.

'It's not my fault! The customers have been totally unreasonable about wait times with the new promotion out—' unable to finish my explanation, Sully hollers over the top of my voice.

"I don't want to hear your excuses! It's not like Henry or Maria are making these mistakes! "

'But—' I campaign.

"Enough! Just do your job, Lilly! And do it RIGHT!" He yells as he walks away.

"Sully yelling at you again, huh?" Said a soft voice, coming from behind.

I turn around to face the person speaking to me, only to find my best friend Maria standing before me. Well "ex- best friend" according to her. Ever since I told her where I had been for the previous 2 weeks, she seemed, jealous, confused and upset with me.

I've tried talking to her, but she would just simply ignore me as if I was invisible or never existed. I'm surprised she's even talking to me now, if I'm honest.

'Yup.' I sighed with frustration. ' I don't know what's wrong with me. I just can't seem to—'

"Why are you still working here anyway?" She interrupts. "Aren't you like super rich now?"
