This Story was the Winner of The Story Library's First Competition.
I went to university with someone who is now a reasonably big Hollywood star. He is not as famous as Brad Pitt or George Clooney or anyone like that, but he does get main character roles in Hollywood films and has become a multi-millionaire. He is also very good-looking.
We were quite friendly at university; not best friends by any stretch of the imagination, but we were in each other’s classes, had a lot of mutual friends and tended to hang out in the same bars and clubs. We started university together about twenty years ago and neither of us uses our degree in our current jobs.
He is a wealthy movie heartthrob who at the time of writing is rumoured to be going out with a super model; I am a bald man who tomorrow will be singing One Little Finger with a group of Japanese five year-olds. I’m sure we both sometimes think, “Wow, how did this happen to me?” but probably not for the same reasons.
