When Everything Feels Like the Movies

Raziel Reid

Everyone wanted to break me. But stars aren't broken they explode. And I was the ultimate supernova.

My name was Jude. They called me Judy. I was beautiful either way.

School was basically a movie set. We were all just playing our parts. The Crew the Extras the Movie Stars. No one was ever real . . . especially me. I didn't fit any category.

All the girls watched me - I could walk so much better than them in heels and my make-up was always flawless.

All the boys wanted to well you know . . . even if they didn't admit it.

They loved me they hated me but they could never ignore me.

I only had eyes for Luke. A red carpet rolled out from my heart towards him and this year on Valentine'sDay I was going to walk that carpet and find my mark next to him. It would be like a dream.

But my dream was going to turn into a nightmare.

This is my story.
