Against All Odds
Part 1

I was a great singer... Maybe the greatest of all after Madonna, sure! I had loads of fans and I was like 'the 
world is crazy 4me.' At least, I felt like that till I saw him.. He was a singer,too and we were supposed to 
have a performance at the same concert. He'd be on the stage b4 me. Thousands of audience were there 
and we two were makin the last arrangements. My manager was tellin me bout him. Actually, I knew 
him from TV & Magazines but never came face2face. So, just b4 his performance I went to his room and 
wanted to wish good luck. 
When I first saw'im, I was like 'Ooooo...My God!! Gosh!!' He was such a handsome man that I felt like the 
world was slippin away under my feet. But I tried to look like 'cool' and got closer to him smiling 
"Hello, I'm Charlotte." 
"Yeah, I know. Who doesnt know bout u? Lol. I'm Duncan James." I smiled. (And a lil bit blushed, i fink) 
"I just wanted to wish luck 4u." 
"That's very kind of you.. Thanks so much!!" 
"That's OK. You kno, I heard so much bout u and wanted to introduce myself." 
"No need for this. I already kno you. You're one of my fav singers." 
"Thank you so much." 
He didnt say nothing and neither me. I went to my own room str8 away but I was feelin like my head was 
spinnin. My manager, Kelly, asked me if I was OK and i replied 'yes.' 
When he was performin, I was watchin him behind the stage. He was like a shinin star. I could clearly see 
that a lotta girls were shoutin and screamin 4him. He was tryin to satisfy them all. He was perfect!! 

After his performance, when my turn came, he came near me and smiled. Just smiled, didnt say anythin. 
So, I stepped into the stage and I forgot everything in ma mind -as usual. Stage is like my home. It's where 
I spend most of my time. I overcame a lotta difficulties to get to the situation where I'm. Now, I have a 
lotta money, fans etc. But, there's a lack of LOVE in my life cuz I kno a lotta people pretend that they 
lovin me while they dont actually. Cuz I kno they love only money. So, I cant trust every people so easily. 
But somethin in the eyes of Duncan made me trust him. 

The concert went so right and when i finally went back to my home, I went to bed str8 away. And in my 
dream, I dreamed Duncan.. He was all on my mind. And I didnt know how i could see'im again
