Craig

"Oh my gosh , I love you so much Craig!"

There were tears falling down the girl's cheeks as she struggled to control her emotions. I never understood why fans got so worked up over me when I was just another human being. But I never turned down an autograph or picture because if it weren't for them, I wouldn't even be where I am now. The least I could do was take the time to show how much I appreciated my fans, which is why I was holding a meet and greet in the mall.

I chuckled and gave the emotional girl a hug. This did nothing but worsen her cries, and she clung on to me for dear life. When she finally let go, I signed her arm and took my seat. A nearby security guard had to escort her away so that the next person in line would get their turn.

I shook my head smiling,  And turned my attention back to my fans. My eyes widened in surprise, and I could feel my heart rate speeding up as I laid my eyes on one of the many girls in line. It couldn't be her. I thought to myself. She was the same height,  complexion , and even had the same short hair. I couldn't help the feeling of complete happiness that came over me as I bolted out of my seat and made my way towards her. Without hesitation I tapped her shoulder and she turned around.

"I can't believe-" I was cut off by the girl's excited screech, and just like that  the happiness that had entered my system was immediately replaced by disapointment.

This was the second time I had mistaken someone for her this week. I dont know, maybe I was hoping that somehow I'd get lucky and she'd waltz back into my life. But I was being crazy. Of course she wouldn't.

But she promised she would come back. my subconscious whined.  I ignored it and tried my best to focus on my fans. The next girl stepped up, and I plastered on a fake smile to hide the disapointment that had settled itself in my system.

"Hey, can you make it out to Ally?"

I looked up at the woman in front of me and breathed out in irritation. I was certainly not in the mood to deal with a mischievous reporter. She held out a picture of myself with an exaggerated smile on her face. I took it from her and rolled my eyes.

"Don't you get tired of following me around all the time Allison?" She flipped her bone straight brown hair like I've seen her do on television, and smirked.

"What can I say? I guess a enjoy a little chase." She leaned in closer to whisper in my ear. "And I won't stop untill I get a story that will ruin your entire career." I narrowed my eyes at Allison, but she continued smirking, unfazed by my threatening glare.

"I noticed the way you Usain Bolted over to that girl. But then you return moments struggling to keep a smile on your face. What was that all about?" She asked, looking at me questionably. It actually shocked me to find out how observant she was, But I ignored the look she was giving me and quickly scribbled my signature over the photo. I tried to give it back to her, but she continued to interrogate me.

"Did you think she was someone else? An old friend perhaps?" She questioned, leaning in closer to me. "Or maybe even an old girl friend?"

A security gaurd stepped forward before she could question me any further. "Your time is up miss." He said, motioning for her to move out of the way.

Allison took the picture from my hands and said, "See you soon Craig," before shooting me one last smirk and strutting off.

When everything was done and over with, I had to maneuver my way out of the mall past more screaming fans, with the help of security guards to get to my car. I arrived home a few minutes later and it was no surprise that I found my good friend Jacob sitting comfortably in my T.v. room watching Fresh Prince of Bell Air. I plopped down in the recliner next to the one he was sitting in and sighed.
