Roxy stared fixedly on the screen of her computer, she haddn'tt moved an inch for an hour, exept to ocasionaly reach up and click once or twice on the mouse.
"Roxy," her mother began, when Roxy did not respond, her mother tryed again "Roxy!" a little louder this time. This time Roxy let out a small absentminded
"Mmhhhmmm"
" Roxy, are you listning to me?" her mother asked, slightly anoyed.
Again Roxy replyed with "Mmhhmmm"
"Were going to see your aunt Gertrude in Washington this week." Roxy's mother said.
"Mmhhhmmm" Roxy responded for the third time. It was about 3 minuets later when what her mother had said finally absorbed into Roxy's mind and when it did she started, and said "What did you say?" her mother sighed, she had been expecting this.
"We are all going to visit your aunt Gurtrude in Washington this week." she repeted.
"What? Mom! No! Not again!" She yelled " Her house is the most botring place on earth, and she's so..." Roxy made a face "old" she finished.
" I know she's elderly, and you don't enjoy being there, but she is moving, and needs help packing." her mother replyed firmly. Roxy just knew she was in for the most boring week of her life, "how am i ever going to survive?" she wondered silently.
The night before they left, Roxy began shoving everything she could fit into her backpack. Things she belived that she could not survive without, with a few exceptions of course, for example, she knew her computer woulden't fit, and she still hadden't gotten her mother to buy her that cell phone she had wanted for a month now, so that ment no social life. She also tossed 2 pairs of jenes, a pair of cargo pants, and a few T-shirts into a small suitcase.
That night Roxy coulden't sleep, so, after an hour of just laying on her bed, she decided to read the new book she had bought the day before. Once Roxy began reading, she because lost in the pages of the book. When Roxy read a book or story, she blocked everything else out, and read with such intensity that she could almost see and here the scenes being played out, just like she was watching a movie. It was 2:00A.M when Roxy finally roused herself and put the book away. she looked up at her clock, " 2:00A.M," she thought, and smiled "My mom would kill me if she knew." Despite the fact that it was so late, Roxy was not the least bit tired, so, she got up and walked over to her window seat and looked out. Outside she could see the wind ruffling the branches and leavs of trees, and the dark sky lit brilliantly with a million stars. Roxy was thinking of the long week ahead of her, " I wish I could have an adventure, like the girls in my book." she wispered earnestly. She sighed and looked up at the stars, she knew it was silly and childish to wish on stars. But, to her suprise, at that very moment, a star fell across the sky and then vanished as if it had never been. At once Roxy was overcome by fatigue, and barely staggered to her bed before collapsing, but just before she slipped into a deep sleep 6 words rang in her mind " Be carefull what you wish for". Then her eyes closed and she was fast asleep.
