Eddie struggles to adjust to his new reality as a local celebrity from "summary" of Million Dollar Shot, The (new cover) by Dan Gutman
Eddie could hardly believe it. A regular kid like him, suddenly thrust into the spotlight. Everyone in town knew his name now. They wanted to shake his hand, take his picture, ask for his autograph. It was all so overwhelming. Before the basketball game that changed everything, Eddie was just another face in the crowd. But now, he was the talk of the town. His friends treated him differently, his teachers looked at him with newfound interest. It was like he was living in a whole new world. But with all the attention came pressure. Eddie felt like he had to live up to this new image of himself. He had to be confident, outgoing, the kind of person everyone expected him to be. It was exhausting trying to maintain this persona that wasn't really him. As the days went on, Eddie started to feel isolated. The friends who used to hang out with him now seemed more like fans than buddies. He missed the simplicity of his old life, where he didn't have to worry about living up to anyone's expectations. But no matter how hard he tried, Eddie couldn't shake off his newfound celebrity status. It followed him wherever he went, a constant reminder of how much his life had changed in an instant. And deep down, he wondered if he would ever truly adjust to this new reality.
