It was raining for the fifth time this week,seriously?! I was walking home and thinking about what have happened earlier in the principal's office
~One hour earlier~
"Phoebe I have proposition for you that may change your life."
Ooo, this DOES NOT sound good....
"Umm...what about?"I asked
"Well,do you know the magazine "Young and glamorous"?she asked
"Of course,it's like thе most popular and cool magazine ever" I said looking confused at where she was getting with this
"Well, I am the creator of it."
"No way!I mean..really?!"
"Yes. Look, I know that all you teenage kids love new things because I have two myself and I also know that if I don't update my magazine with newer and better things I will lose your interest, that's why I have been desperately trying to find something greater and more ebgaging and here goes my preposition. You are it Phoebe. From the moment I read your article I knew you are what we were looking for. I mean, you, yourself are a teen, you best can help the other teens not only in love but in other problems too!"
"Where are you getting with this?"
"I am offering a job at the world's greatest magazine as an adviser.
"I don't know what to say"is all I managed to reply
"I know it's a tough decision and you have to talk about it with your parents so I will give you one week,how does that sound?" she asked
~Now~
When I think about it now, I can't help but feel like a total idiot for not taking the opportunity as soon as I heard about it. But honestly, I am scared .Will I have enough time for school? Will I be good at it? Gosh, I don't even have a boyfriend myself, how am I supposed to help others with this kind of problems? Why did they choose me? They should have chosen someone who had experienced love, heartbreak and I don't know...sex?!
At that moment I didn't even realize I was crying. I needed help and I knew just the person who can provide me some-my grandpa. Don't get mе wrong my mum is great but I feel like only he understands me. Good thing is that his house is near mine, otherwise, I would have to head for another direction.
~3 POV~
George Williams was a very interesting and intelligent man. He was always optimistic and he never lost his inner child. For some years, he was a lawyer but then George decided to become an author. After that he had much more free time and because of his popularity of being one of the best lawyers in California, he was often invited to parties. George was a handsome man who was trying to find an amazing and kind woman who would remind him of his incredible mother. But after he became thirty, he lost hope. However, one day, god decided to give George a chance and at George's thirty-two birthday party, George met Elizabeth Mair. She was 29, beautiful, at the top of her career as a business manager and hе couldn't help but fall inlove with her. And although she looked nothing like his mother, George knew that she was the perfect woman for him.
So after some time, they got married and Elizabeth gave birth to a sweet little baby girl called Marisa. After lots of years full of happiness and adventures Marisa gave birth to Phoebe Matthews. George adored more than anything his granddaughter from the moment he laid his eyes on her. She looked just like his mother who he had lost at a very young age but he didn't love her just for that, she fascinated him. In his eyes she was everything a woman should be: smart, selective, pretty, independent and strong. When Phoebe was smaller she used to live with him and Elizabeth because her parents used to travel alot. And because of that she loved her grandpa more than anybody , not only because he was an amazing person but also because he looked at the world the same way she did.He introduced her to the magic of books and gave her the hope of a happily ever after.He was more than an old, clever grandpa to her, he was her friend.
~Phoebe's POV~
"Boo, are you here?" I yelled while opening the door to my grandparents' house. I called my grandpa like that since I was six. The nickname came from the best thing he had ever shown me- books, for a long time I couldn't pronounce the word books but I loved them so much and because they reminded me of grandpa I started calling him Boo.
"Where is my little girl?" He came and hugged me. Boo was with blond hair and green eyes and although he was in his late sixtees he looked like a fifty years old man.
"Boo,I need your help"I said desperately ad without realizing started crying.
"Oh..honey..what's wrong?"he asked concerned. As Granny saw me she exchanged glances with Boo, something that they did a lot and then said "Hey sweetie, stop crying and go to the livingroom with grandpa and I will do our favorite tea, okey?" she smiled.
"Sure granny" I answered and head for the living room. I sat on my favorite blue sofa and Boo sat across me.
"Tell me, little lady, you know I will do everything to help you" my grandpa reassured me.
"Well, I am scared of taking the best proposition in my life"
"What are you talking about?" he asked surprised. I told him about it while drinking my tea that nana gave me in between my sobs and at the end of my speech I added: "Why did they choose me?! I haven't even felt those feelings, yet! How am I supposed help the teenagers then? I don't won't to disappoint anybody."
"Listen to me" said Boo while looking straight in my eyes "They didn't choose you because they thought you have gone through those feelings,do you know why they did?"he asked me with a smile
"No, why?"I questioned, while rubbing my red eyes
"Because you have a very rare talent my little lady.You have the talent to put yourself in others people's shoes and to feel just what they feel and that my dear makes you special and very valuable "my grandpa said
"Maybe you are right but what if I can't deal with it,school,friends and sports?I am scared."
"How so"he asked
"You always had time for everything,you are organized and you always do great at everything, don't underestimate yourself!Don't you know who you are?Because I do!You are perfectly able to deal with everything you put your mind into.And at that moment I felt confidence and hope come back inside me.
"Boo, I love you, thank you!" I said while hugging the life out of him
"I made pancakes,who wants some?"asked granny
"Oh ,granny,I do."I grinned
She laughed and said"No surprise there "
I decided to sleep at my grandparents tonight.It was just ten o'clock but I feel very very exhausted and decided to go to sleep. Just as I was about to close my eyes and fall asleep,my phone rang.
