It was the dawn of a new day. I slept more peacefully than I have in thirteen years. Actually my mum died when I was five and year after my dad married Emily's mother and ever since my life never remained the same. It only got worse after my dad passed away six years after his marriage to Emily's mother.

Miss Jackie, miss Jackie a voice called out. I came out of my memory lane, turning around to see a man in suit and he said, "Miss Andrea would like to see you". I was shocked," have gotten into trouble with one of this rich kids. Tell her I will be there in a minute, I said with a fake smile on my face.

I entered into the room and saw Andrea sitting on her bed, sipping some juice. "Jackie I would like to have a word with you". I hope it was not about yesterday's incident because I swear it was an accident.

I called you to my room to make a proposal. I know you must be wondering why I was not surprised to see you. I was not surprised because yesterday wasn't the first time I saw you. A month ago, I and my chauffeur went to the gas station to get petrol and just then I saw someone who looked exactly like me. I was surprised at first but I knew I would need you someday so I told my personal assistant to do a background check on you. I got to know you entered the lottery for the ship Cruz but it was too late because the five lucky winners had already been chosen so I begged the director of the lottery show to add your number and that was why there was a sixth winner. I also told the director to put you in the same room I was.

"This is interesting" I thought. So you have known me for a long time now? Wow!!! But come to think of it, why would you go through all this trouble to get me on this ship?

That's why I called you Jackie, I need a favour from you. I told my parents that I wanted to go on a one year tour with my band but they refused. They even forbade me to sing in the band let alone go on a tour for one year.

I want you to pretend to be me for one year while I go on the tour and in reward, I will make sure you get the best college education.

The offer was tempting and beside Emily's mother didn't want to pay for my college fee."I can't stay a whole year deceiving your parents and by the way I am not good at acting",I said to Andrea. But believe me,I will think about it and give you an answer before the end of the Cruz.
