Girl on the Block

Meeting Mark 34

Julie's POV

"My name is Julie." I said.

"Oh hello Julie. Why are you crying here?" He asked.

I won't tell about the Charlie thing. He hurts me.

"No one likes me." I said with tears at my eyes.

"Aw, but I like you. Don't be sad anymore I saved you now okay." He said.

He carried me through his car and started driving.

"Um..... Mark." I said.

"Yes babe." He said.

"Am I stupid?" I asked.

"No your not stupid. Everyone is stupid sometimes but its just a matter of time. I think your a one special girl." He said.

"I am not that special girl." I said with a tear.

"Why do you say that." He said.

"No one thinks I'm special. Rich kids, talented kids and beautiful kids are the only ones achieving a successful dream." I said with tears.

"Everything is possible. Always believe the impossible. Julie. Rich kids and talented kids and the beautiful kids are non-sense. Everytime I saw kids who are celebrities, kids with celebrity parents. They are non-sense for me. They are too young to show off in the public. They are saying that, that kid is born to be a star because she/he is on the red carpet, is the biggest mistake. They just grow up in drugs and jail. I hate those kids and mostly their parents. I don't care if they're cute and nice. Those just go away because of fame. I rather look up to the kid whose going to school. I rather look up to the people who help people and that's what I see in you, Julie." He explained.

"There is a girl named Katy Hopkins and everyone is comparing me with her." I said.

"Katy Hopkins? Her dance teacher is a professional and they have a reality show Katy starring in it. Katy is a great dancer, a great singer and a great actress. She performed at Grammy's but hey she maybe nice and sweet but I don't like her. Those things will fade away and it will go to you. They keep comparing her to you. Her success is your future. Plus your unique don't compare and be jealous on her you have your own style and you have your own way Julie. We are just people in here. Celebrities feel like their Kings and Queens that's why they are so messed up. Only few of them are humble and simple and those are the celebrities who started at 25 or 22. Not teens or tiny teens that's not the right age for fame." He explained.

"So where you heading?" He asked.

"There at that peach house." I said.

I get out and face him. He is wearing a suit and tie.

"Thanks Mark!" I said.

"Your growing into something special Julie. Goodbye. See ya soon." He said. He drived away.

I'm growing into something special. What would it be?
