Chapter one

The wind whispers, making me shiver. The swings were whining and the trees moved back and forth like they were trying to talk to me. I looked behind me expecting a creeper to be standing there, but nothing. No one was there, so I sat on the swing that was closest to me watching the leaves fall of the branches of the nearby trees.

I was alone and the wind was colder than normal. I just sat there with my jacket hardly warming me. I tried to clear my mind, but you just wouldn't leave my memory. You were just stubborn and your face was like a drug to me. Your lips were like sugar and your laugh was like the best distraction ever.

Every Tuesday and Thursday wasn't enough for me. I need to see you more. Everything you did hypnotized me, but it's not your fault, it's mine for thinking that your such a good drug. I'm addicted to you. You may be a famous person, but your so beautiful. You make me smile unlike any other. I wonder if it hurts to fall from heaven.

I want to ask you just one question. Before you disappear forever.

"How do I become famous?"

Ugg, you dumb idiot. Don't talk to yourself, hello, bad image. Why can't you just go head and simply ask him! Stupid! I can't believe you're doing this to me without effort. You're not even talking to me right now. Oh my Gwad! Stop it you idiot. Just go home where it's warm.

I walk just about 4 blocks and I feel like something is watching me. I look behind me and I saw nothing. I open my mail box to see if we got mail. There was one little envelope sitting there waiting to be open. I take it out and read the name on the envelope. It was written for me. I never got mail. Maybe it's just junk mail, but maybe it's not. My name was written in cursive. I was beginning to get way to many questions in my head. I was playing 21 questions by myself.

I walk into my room and set the letter on my desk and grab my laptop. When I opened the lid I had seen my notifications on Facebook had blown up. 15 friend requests, 20 messages, and over 200 hundred notifications. I was shocked. I started out with the messages. I looked at my best friend's message first. At first, I was confused. Until I read it again.

"Girl, you're totally famous."

I was so confused until I remember that video I posted on YouTube.

"Oh no! No no no no no!!"

I texted her back.

" It wasn't suppose to go this far."

I waited while she started typing. My heart was pounding so loud I though the house was shaking.

"Well don't be surprised, you're a great singer. I told you to go to the X-Factor."

I remember her telling me that.

"Ttyl."

I look through all of the messages. Lots of them were comments about the video I had posted.

I excepted the friend requests from the people that were my age or close to. My notifications took me over an hour to read. The friend requests kept coming all night long. What did I do? I finally logged in to my YouTube account. I searched my video and my heart dropped.

165,257 likes and 2 dislikes.

I watched my video and started to cry. How was I suppose to tell my parents? Should I just keep this a secret?I should tell them because sooner or later, I would get a letter in the mail from a music producer wanting me to make a video with some pop star. I decided to go back to my Facebook page and I had another 20 friend request and 17 messages. The notifications made me sick to my stomach. I couldn't take it any more so I went to bed without eating dinner. I was afraid that I would give up and have to tell my parents about my absurd day.
