MELANIE'S POV
"Happy Birthday Melanie!" They said.
I groaned and turned around. I saw my mother, father, brothers, and sister standing im front of me with a cake. I smiled then. "Thank you." I said.
"Make a wish." Father said.
I smiled and closed my eyes.
I wish for a baby sister I thought before I closed and blew the candles.
"What did you wish for?" Edward asked.
I smiled. "If I tell you then it doesn't come true." I told him.
He smiled. "That's true. I can't wait for my birthday so I can get wishes!" Edward said.
We laughed.
"Alright Melanie you have used one of your wishes. You have fifteen left." Mother said with a smile.
I smiled and shook my head. "I think i have ten left." I said.
She frowned. "Why?" She asked.
I smiled and sighed. "Because its a very big wish so I'm using 6 for that one." I said.
Mother smiled. "Okay." She said.
"Well how about if we start with the wishing?" Father asked with a smile.
I smiled and nodded. "For my first wish, I would like us to go out and have breakfast as a family." I said.
"Okay. Second wish." Father said with a smile.
"I want permission to get my license." I said.
"Wish granted." Father said.
"Really?!" I asked as my heart beat started to speed.
Mother turned to look at mu father and smiled. Then she turned back to look at me. "It's a wish after all." Mother said.
"Okay!" I said.
"Third wish?" Mother asked.
"Um, I would like to think of the rest while we are in breakfast." I said.
They nodded.
"Okay. Then we'll leave you alone so you can get ready." Mother said
I nodded.
They turned around and got out of my room.
I smiled and sighed remembering how my family had started.
Everything had started when I was six years old and father had told me that I had six wishes. It was the first day of school also.
Today luckily my birthday had ended on a Sunday.
I got up and walked into the restroom remembering how three wishes had actually changed my life.
TEN YEARS EARLIER
KARLA'S POV
I sighed and smiled as I parked in front of the school.
Today was the first day of another school year.
I loved it when this time of the year came. I loved to see all the five and six year olds coming into the school. This was my second year since I had graduated and I was excited for this year.
I sighed and got out of the car. I closed the door and walked to the back and opened the trunk to get out my bags. Then I closed the trunk and started walking towards the inside of the school.
"Good morning Ms. Marroquin." Mrs. Whithlock, the principal of the school, said.
"Good morning Mrs. Whithlock." I said.
She smiled. "Alice." She said.
I nodded.
"Ready for another school year?" She asked.
I smiled. "Yes ma'am." I said.
"Great! So am I!" She said with a smile.
I smiled. "I love the beginning of the school year, but I hate the end of it." I said.
Alice sighed. "I know. I hate to see them go also." She said.
I nodded.
"Well I'll let you go and prepare your class. I'm going to be out here waiting foe the car riders." She said.
I smiled and nodded.
"Good luck!" She said.
"Thank you. Same to you." I said before I walked into the school.
Schochler Elementary.
I sighed and walked into the office. I signed in.
"Ms. Marroquin. How great to see you!" Mrs. Cullen said. She was another teacher.
I smiled. "Mrs. Cullen. Hoe to see you also." I said.
She smiled. "I've told you to call me Esme." She said.
I nodded. "Esme. How have you been?" I asked.
"Great. My daughter is starting junior high today." She said.
I nodded. "How does she feel about that?" I asked as I went to my box and grabbed my mail.
"She feels happy but it makes me kind of sad." She said.
"Why?" I asked turning around to look at her.
"She's all grown up now. She's not a kid anymore but a teenager." She said before she sighed.
I went to hug her shoulders. "Everything is going to be fine Esme. Just remember that that is how our mothers felt when we grew up." I told her.
Esme nodded. "You're right." She said before she smiled.
I nodded. "How's David doing?" She asked.
David is my nephew and he is three years old. He was starting pre-k this year.
My mother was going to be taking him to school since the district had a separate school for pre-k and early development.
My brother had passed away a few months ago, and jasmine had given me full custody of David.
She was with someone else when that happened and she is getting married in just a few months. She said that she wanted to start over, but I tho k she just wanted to get rid of David because she was tired of him.
Yes, David can sometimes be a headache. Well most of the time because he is too hyper, but I was hoping that with starting school and being in sports will help him ware the extra energy that he has.
I smiled. "He's good. He's very happy to start school this year, even though he's starting early." I told her with a smile.
Esme smiled. "He's going to be okay. He's going to make a lot of friends." She said.
I laughed. "I'm sure of that. I just hope that he has lunch at the same time as me so I can go eat with him." I said.
Esme smiled. "You're going to make such a great mother one day." She said.
I smiled. "I really hope so." I said.
"Well lets get to our class since the students should start arriving at any moment." Esme said.
I nodded.
We got out of the office and went to our classroom.
Esme's classroom was right next to mine.
I walked into my classroom and turned on the lights. I went to put my bags on my desk. Then I went to check that each small desk had the student's name on it. After that I went to the white board and took a blue marker.
My name is Ms. Marroquin and I would like to welcome each and everyone of you to class
I wrote down, even though I knew that most of them barely knew how to read.
After that I went to get the plastic boxes out that had crayons in them. I put one for every group, which were six, since I had put together four desks per group. Then I went to my bag and got out the coloring sheets I had made copies of. I put one on each desk.
*()*
Half an hour later I could hear a lot of voices on the hallways. I could also hear some children crying as they got closer to the classes on this side of the hallway.
I sighed.
Please don't be my student.
I thought before I closed my eyes. Because if that was one of my students, I wouldn't know what to do. Well ill probably start crying too since I was kind of soft.
There was a knock on the door.
I opened my eyes and turned to look the door.
There was a small boy there standing with his mother. He had black hair and blue eyes.
The same as his mother.
I walked towards them and smiled. "Good morning." I said with a smile.
"Good morning." The little boy said.
I smiled. "What's your name?" I asked.
"Brian." He said.
I smiled. I extended my hand to him. "Nice to meet you Brian. I'm Ms. Marroquin and ill be your teacher for this year." I told him with a smile before I shook his hand.
Brian nodded.
"Nice to meet you ma'am. I'm Ms. Marroquin." I said offering my hand to Brian's mother.
"Nice to meet you also. My name is Linda. I'm Brian's grandmother." She said.
"Oh! I thought you were his mother." I said.
Linda smiled. "No my daughter couldn't bring him today so I brought him instead." She said.
I nodded. "Well welcome to the classroom. You are more than welcomed to stay until the rest of the students get here, since then we'll start reading time." I told her.
"I wish I could stay, but I have to go. It was nice meeting you." She said.
I smiled. "The same." I said as another student walked in with her father.
"Be good Brian. Mommy will be here to pick you up, okay?" Linda said.
"Yes nana." Brian said.
Linda smiled. "Good. Have a nice day." She said.
I smiled. "You too." I said before I took Brian's hand in mine. "Okay Brian lets go to your desk, and you can start coloring while we wait foe the rest of your classmates. How does that sound?" I asked.
"Good." He said.
It was a good thing I only had one Brian in my class.
*()*
The classroom was kind of full of both parents and students after fifteen minutes.
All of the students were there except for one.
Melanie Herondale.
Well I was going to have to start without her.
But just as I was going to start, she came in with a young man.
He could be her father or her brother, or uncle.
Who knows.
Melanie turned to look at me and I froze for a moment. She was the most beautiful girl I have ever seen.
And I have seen some pretty little girls.
Melanie had light blonde hair that were in ringlets down her back. She was kind of pale and had golden eyes. She was wearing a white dress that had an aqua ribbon around her waist. She was holding the young man's hand.
That was when I looked at him. He was tall. Very tall. He had dirty blonde hair that was kind of short, and straight. But he had the same golden eyes as her.
They looked like angels.
I snapped out of it and went to welcome them. "You must be Melanie." I said with a smile.
Melanie smiled. "How did you know?" She asked.
I smiled. "Because you were the only one missing." I said.
Melanie smiled. "Where do I sit?" She asked.
"Your desk is the closest one to mine." I told her.
Melanie smiled. "Come on daddy!" She said pulling at the young man's hand.
Daddy. That meant that he was married.
"Nice to meet you Ms. Marroquin." Melanie's father said.
I looked up at him and saw that he was smiling at me. I smiled back and shook his hand. "Nice to meet you Mr. Herondale. Welcome to the class." I said.
He smiled and nodded.
They went to sit down by my desk and I walked back to the front of the room. I cleared my throat.
Everyone turned to look at me.
Crap.
"I would like to welcome each and every one of you to this classroom. My name is Ms. Marroquin. Um usually the students will start the day by coloring as they started today but they'll start much earlier than today. Um, today I wanted to be kind of easy since its the first day of school and I know that most of the children are half asleep." I said.
The parents chuckled.
I smiled. "But after bell work we'll start with reading class. Usually by this age most of the children already know how to read a little bit, but I will be reading to them and right after that we'll go into discussion about the book. After that they have music, art, or gym. They don't have that class with me so I'll be taking them there. I will send a schedule of their classes and what material is being covered during the day so in case any patent wants to come and be with their child, you may." I said.
They nodded.
"Okay. Are there any questions?" I asked.
Nobody answered.
"Okay then. How about if everyone comes and sits here in the front so we can start our reading time?" I asked.
All the children came to sit down on the floor in front of me.
I grabbed a chair and sat down since I was wearing a dress. I grabbed the book that I had on mu desk. "Okay. Everyone will pick a book later that y'all want me to read, and starting tomorrow we'll go by last name and I'll read each book to y'all. But for today I would like to read y'all my favorite book since I was a little kid. It was mu brother's favorite book also. So that's how y'all know that is a good book." I said with a smile.
The kids just stared at me.
Clearly I was talking too much.
"Okay. The book is called Harold and his purple crayon." I said.
They kept staring at me.
I started to read, and as I read I couldn't help but look at the parents also.
All of them smiled as I read and I knew that they were remembering when they used to read that book also.
All of them were smiling and paying attention, except for Melanie's father.
He was looking out the window. He looked alone and sad.
As if sensing what I had seen, Melanie stood up and walked to where her father was.
As if he had felt her eyes on him, he turned to look at her and opened his arms for her. He sat down on a chair then with Melanie sitting on his lap, and he smiled. Clearly he didn't feel alone after that.
