Need help with titles for my book….?
Ok i wrote a book last summer. Havn’t really decided on the title. Btw if you dont like young adult realistic fiction stop here.
Heres the blurb:
Every little girls fantasy is to be a princess and be whisked away by prince charming. But when your title changes from kid to teen, everything changes. Barbie’s place is taken by boys and Prince Charming by rock stars. Cute, awesome, perfect rock stars; the kinds whose faces are posted on every teenage girls wall. This fantasy suddenly becomes a possibility for Lilly Haden when her best friend becomes that guy and her life begins to change. Move over prince charming here comes Ben Johnson.
Heres part of the first chap:
Chapter 1
Dream and Reality
I walked across the Red Carpet, my boyfriend’s hand intertwined with mine. He was perfect. After freeing my hand he signed autographs, as fans screamed his name. He smiled and I watched as all those girls wished they were me. The envy on their faces was unmistakable and I enjoyed it. Then my boyfriend walked over to me and whispered ‘I love you’ in my ear. He began singing my favorite song of his ever so lightly. Then when he was just about to kiss me, I woke up to knocking on my door.
“Always right before the good part.” I whispered to myself, right before I said come in
“Breakfast is ready.” My mom said, I nodded.
Ok, that’s not my life and I can only dream that Ben Johnson was my boyfriend. I certainly wasn’t the envy of all the girls around the world that would kill to kiss him but I would consider myself at the top of that list. I have reason to be. He was gorgeous and nice and an awesome friend. Trust me, I know. He has been my best friend since well, forever. I have been working, wishing, and praying that maybe he would wake up one day and want me like I want him. When I look my breath catches and I can’t breathe. I know I probably should be grateful just to know him but when I guess love can’t be satisfied.
It’s not like I just fell for him when he became famous, no, I’ve always felt this way about him. He was always that guy could get any girl he wanted and what hurt the most is he never wanted me. I was just the one he would talk to about his girlfriends, never the girlfriend. It wasn’t fair because I envied those girls so much, they had everything I had to live without. They didn’t know how lucky they were. To be his would always be my dream.
I got up and headed down stairs for breakfast with as always him on my mind.

I sat birched up against the back of my bed. Then a call came in on my phone. It was him.
“Hello,” I said.
“Hey, Lilly.” He said. The sound of Ben’s voice caused my heart to jump.
“What’s up?”
“Um… I don’t have a girlfriend anymore.” Ben has, or had, a girlfriend named Sky. She was a dumb TV star. I loved hearing that but I knew he didn’t.
“Sorry.”
“Yah, well you want to meet up. Phil’s in ten minutes?”
“Sure, can’t wait.” I hid all of the emotion in my voice.
I don’t get to hang out with Ben as much anymore, yes his carrier had just started but his songs were already top of the charts. It was nice that we lived in Anaheim not at all far from the offices in LA. I ran down stairs, jumped in to my brand new Toyota Salora and drove to Phil’s Smoothes Shop where Ben and I have been going ever since we were 12. I got out of my car and walked into Phil’s.
Ben wasn’t there, so I ordered our smoothies and sat in our favorite seats. Ben walked in dressed in a disguise, a bad one at that.
“Hey, Lily.” Ben said with large glasses on.
“I’m sorry sir but my friend is going to sit there.” I said with a laugh.
He lifted his sun glasses and said “Yah, yah.”
“So… what happen?” I asked.
“Well… some photographer caught Sky kissing some guy and showed my handler the photos before selling it off to Cover girl or Seventeen.” He said rolling his eyes.
“Oh. Are you sure it was her.” I asked.
“Yah, I’m sure.”
“Have you talked to her yet?”
“Yah. I took her to dinner last night then showed her the pictures. She was definitely surprised.” he said sadly.
“I’m sorry.” I said truly meaning it.
“Yah. So am I but it’s not worth getting all worked up about.” He said looking into my eyes.
“Anyway I’m going to a party tonight, to get my mind off of things, want to come; all of the Hanna Montana cast will be there.” He said smiling because a year ago I told him I was in love with Mitchell Muso.
“Sure.” I said with a smile.
Though Ben and I were meant to be, I’m ok with dating other guys for the time being; totally hot stars are always a plus.
“You know something?” he said.
“What?”
“Well my girlfriends come and go but you and I are forever.” He said as he banged his smoothie glass to mine.
“Your right, when other girls have the best girlfriends; I have you.”
“And I have you.”
“I’m really sorry about what Sky did to you. You deserve better.”
“And so do you! You should be hanging out with
*read the details first*
your boyfriend; not with me, mourning over my lost relationship.”
“Yah, except for the fact that I don’t have a boyfriend.”
“Well, you should! I tell you this all the time you could get any guy you want.”
Not any guy!
“But I don’t want any guy.”
“What guy do you want?”
“Never mind, let’s go before that girl realizes who you really are.” I said nodding my head towards the girl eyeing us as if she was trying to make out a face.
“Fine, but I will find out.” He said laying the money on the table.
“Sure you will,” I said getting out of my seat.
I wish I could get any guy I want. But it looks like that wish won’t be coming true. I was not going to get the guy I wanted and would always want. Ben Johnson was my friend and would always be just my friend.
