Creative Nonfiction Adventure Drama

I have never seen weathers become so dark in my life ever,there was not even a ray of hope. When I was a child,I used to think that one day I will become the most famous and richest person in this world.

I was living a mediocre life with my small-town world. It's obvious that if you are from small-town then all the richy-rich articles attracts you. Because you have a tag of lowclass, your parents encourage you to think big and dream big.

As I was a obedient child, I was just following them. Due to their philosophy of think big and dream big, I tried my level best to study hard along with helping mom in chores. Until now I have turned 17, the only daughter of my parents..............oops shit kicked me from back....oo I forgot about the shit i.e. my dear lil bro who is four years younger than me but get all the love in the family just because of his sex i.e. he is a boy.

So I am Grace carter, studying in high school.... I am a lowclass girl,my dad Darren ,44 is a fisherman,my mom Samaira,38 runs a private kitchen deliveries and my lil bro saimon. I was totally born on an orthodox family,as I was born no one seems to be happy, they want their first child to be a boy. Somehow when we shifted to town, their thinking takes a U-turn and they also supported,cared for me. But I guess it was poverty and eager to become rich which puts their mind on right direction so that's why they start dreaming that I will earn a lot someday.

Their think big, dream big rantings I think I took it really serious as I was preparing to clear the university entrance exam, the girl who even studied hard for higher education but still have to give re-exam ,now thinking to clear university entrance exam what a joke seriously.. .....As a result,I didn't able to clear it. I was asked to help mom in her private kitchen deliveries. I was growing up,my father mostly drinks and rants about his miserable life, At night the beach becomes the area of drugs peddlers,they used to trade through water, I was living my life in such area but somewhat I don't hate this as I was mesmerized by the money and wealth the drug smuggler having. They never caught up by the sherriffs because they are having contacts with famous personalities.

I was once helping my mom to deliver the food, I heard that there's some film shooting going on. I wasn't really wanted to become an actress..... it's not that I am not pretty..... it's just that I got so many inborn talents that I don't people to find out...... but what's wrong in watching the shoot.

After delivering food,I went to watch the shoot, I don't know what's the scene about or anything else but I wanted to watch...............I struggled within the crowd to watch the shoot from near sight. I was finally watching what's the shoot like? Just when the director shouts cut....he didn't seem to look pleased,he was shouting over the crew to find someone who can play the character,as the set settings cost him a lot so he can't delay the shoot. Director called me and asked me to say the lines, he was impressed,he completed the shot with me playing a character of 15 year girl.

He called my mother to inform her about me being selected for the shoot, she came running and looked very happy. They got a good amount of money as my first salary. The movie proves to be a blockbuster, I became famous.....I got admission in Theatre school.... finally my dreams becoming true.

It was like I became rich overnight, I was living a lavish lifestyle, enjoying myself, having a bank statement, and the dream girl of every hot boys. Soon my 27th birthday coming, the guest list is ready,all the shopping had been done. I was at the peak of my life.... It's just not my birthday which makes this party special but I have been honoured with best actress award too...so high-class life is on. My parents have busy schedule dealing with their kitty parties but they are very proud of me.....my brother handling my affairs... chilling his life like me....now I can feel the high-class happiness.

I am mostly found on the cover page of Vogue, Cosmopolitan and Shortlist and so on. I have been in more than 20 relationships with richy-rich guys, enjoying and learning their lifestyle............My besties are Elena Williams, Natasha Jones and Ryema Taylor (the rich kids of the renowned personality)..........I can't live without parties......I am a hard drinker as well as I have been used to cocaine and other drugs too...........I am elite in their parties.............my life without having sex with someone in the night can never pass. I am the one who is giving scandals and TRP to the news channels. I am at the top of my career and in my life.

But that day, the police and narcotics department got a lead and searched my bunglow....It was my birthday, I tried to explain them it's normal to have some fun with drugs......it was really embarrassing that top level actress villa being searched out.............all was gossiping about me,I tried to keep their mouth shut up by offering money but they had come with their forces and the lady officer dragged me down...... I had trials with the court......It was seriously normal to have drugs with you in high-class society how do I tell them?............I have been called drug addict, drug smuggler and many more allegations were drawn.........now I am not an actress anymore, I am a drug smuggler.....I am not denying the fact that I used to call drug dealers for drugs................... but I was never told that it was bad because maybe all people around me used to take drugs...........my whole family got into this mess,.......I tried hard to elope the situation but the more harder I try, the more situation worsens. Recently some organisation and NGO'S started a movement against drugs because of the declining health and manpower according to the research. In addition a boy of 10 found died due to excessive use of cocaine. They took this chance and targeted me, abused me, for promoting drugs and accused me of killing a mass of public through drugs. Extreme weathers have totally ruined my life. There was no umbrella upon me who can soak my tears nor I can tell the famous names, who are also involved with the peddlers otherwise I am going to be killed and my family too. So I preferred to maintain silence and at any cost i have to get out of this mess. So I hired the best lawyer and tried to delay the hearings as many as possible but .........

I was found guilty and sent to the prison................ The very next day it was highlighted in big letters in front page of newspaper that "Grace Carter an actress by profession exposed, found to be a drugs smuggler"....................... the actress who didn't eat anything else than her diet schedule have to eat the dirt and go through these shits now. My career totally ruined, no one supports me or even cared about me, they were just tensed about their media coverage and reputation. I don't know whether I will be ever welcomed into the high-class society or not? But I know that I had lived my high-class society.....I had been in trauma since I was sent to the prison.The extreme situation aren't going to elope soon. The only source of entertainment in prison for me is my writings.

I have been released by the court after 2years of prison and the book which I had written in prison called "Extreme weathers in the life of actress" been approved and been acknowledged by the public...........I know somewhere in my heart that i had done wrong and that guilt will always remain by my side like a shadow. But my ray of hope tells me a new journey of becoming a novelist.

Here from the critique circle :) This was a good read, your voice is distinct and fun. My critique is about the same as Tom-- watch your grammar (The "Grammarly" app is an awesome help), and keep the tense the same (said/did/had versus says/does/has). Keep it up!

I am not much of an expert myself, but I can really see plenty of grammar mistakes. Also, watch out for past and present tense, (I actually have a problem with it too -- like keep on switching) so you have to revise your story carefully. Your translations are acceptable but I know you can do better! I like the rest of the story. Note that my comment might not be accurate so feel free to correct me.
