Ordinary Girl
Prologue
I looked at myself in the mirror, this isn't who I am, I don't wear makeup, and I'm not 'girly'. I picked up the magazine with my face planted on the cover wearing so much makeup on the cover it read Alice Monroe, unfortunately that was my name, but this isn't the girl that grew up in West Virginia, this isn't the girl that use to play softball, volleyball and soccer, no this girl in the mirror is a girl transformed by the Hollywood life. And this life wasn't mine.
I close my eyes and try to imagine that this is all a dream and that I would wake up any second and be in my house next to my best friends I left behind 2 years ago. I open my eyes I'm still in the same place and time.
It's almost midnight I snuck outside to escape the Hollywood life at least for a moment as I tried to remember why I even left my life and then it hit me.
Two years ago I was at the county fair with my two best friends by my side on my left is Kourtney Ryan on my right is Jake Michel. Oh, Jake, that boy was funny but dorky he always fought with me and was madly in love with Valentine, one of the 'popular group' valentine didn't even now he existed, but on with the story, in the county fair the was a talent show, I didn't want to do it I let Jake and Kourtney talk me into it. So I went up there and sang 'The Climb by Miley Cyrus' I hit the high notes perfectly I finished the song and got a standing ovation from the crowd I got off stage and was congratulated by Kourtney and Jake then a guy in a suit came up to us and said 'you have talent I'm with Hollywood Records and we would like you to come in and audition I think you could be the next big thing'
The rest is history…
I shuddered at the thought of that one day. I looked at the ocean and I got the idea the most brilliant idea I ever had. I am going back, going back to my hometown. I covered my hair with my hoodie and put my sunglasses on and stopped a taxi and told him to take me to the airport.
