On Her Way

Story Two -

Being a girl is hard, believe it or not. 

We have to worry about our hair, our makeup, and even our clothes. 

But the one big thing that we worry about is boys. We worry that we won't be good enough. We worry that we won't be skinny enough, pretty enough, popular enough.

What do I worry about? 

That's the thing- I don't.  

"Charlotte, over here!" 

I turned and gave a flattering smile as I saw millions of flashes. 

I waved to the paparazzi and kept walking down the red carpet. I saw my manager at the end of the carpet give me a nod. 

Time for the interviews. 

"Charlotte, is it true that you are pregnant?" A reporter asked. I laughed and rubbed my stomach.

"Does it look like it? Trust me, I'm way too young for that!" I said with a grin. Her eyes widened.

"I didn't mean it like that! You're obviously one of the most wanted actresses of our time! There were just some rumors about a guy that had been seen in public with you.." She said, trailing off. I waved my hand away. 

"Don't worry about it, I try not to think about the fact that I'm up on hundreds of boy's walls." I said with a laugh. She giggled.

"So about this guy-"

"It was so wonderful talking to you!" I said, before walking to the next reporter. 

"Charlotte! How was working with Alex Lankford? Could he be a love interest?" A man asked. He was bald, and dressed in a black suit. I grinned. 

"Alex was a really cool guy. Even though everything was on a serious friend-to-friend basis, I totally swooned the first time I saw him shirtless!" I said, laughing. He chuckled.

"So he is a love interest?" He asked, growing serious. I looked over at Alex who was talking to a reporter about three yards away from me.

"He's more like a best friend, to be honest." 

"Can you explain the pictures of you and your mystery man?" He asked. 

My mystery man? Bull shit.

"I wouldn't exactly call him mine." I played off with a teasing wink.

I kept walking until I met the eyes of a young reporter. She eagerly waved her hand at me.

"Charlotte! Hi, I'm from Teen Magazine! A couple words?" She asked. I smiled and nodded.

"Sure, what's up?" 

She got out her notepad that had scribbled questions on it. 

"First of all, we'd like to have you come to our office and do a photo shoot, plus an interview." She said in a hopeful voice. 

"Yeah, that sounds like fun!" I told her enthousiastically. She wrote something down, then flipped the page.

"Secondly, we were wondering what your thoughts were on the whole Justin and Selena ordeal, knowing that you and Selena are very close..." 

I wanted to laugh, that girl was so plastic it hurt me.

"Well honestly, I think that everyone is making a big deal out of it. It's there own problems between the two of them, and only them. People need to mind their own business because they have no place to stick there nose in her's or his." I said, offering a smile.
